This law has been fought bitterly by
Judge Thompson, but It Is said that
since its passing he has become some

of the fact that he will not have to

Snn Franeloo, June 12. In antici

3000 persons crowded into the Bimh

Schmltz case was resumed, but many
failed to gain admission to the court
room. Many artists and special writ
ers for eastern publications were pres
ent. Many women were In attendance.
a special detail of police were on
hand to handle the crowd.
Ruef came Into the court room ac
companied by Burns and Langdon,
carefully groomed and perfectly com
posed. Schmltz entered a few min
utes later. He appeared paler than
usual, but was dressed with unusual
care.
Campbell began his argument
against the admission of Ruer tes
timony as soon as the court was called
to order. Much of the argument con
sisted of reading from the New York
and California codes. He contended
that Schmltz was compelled to testi
fy yesterday upon matters not Derti-
nent In the cross-examination.
Ruef Paid Schmltz Cash.
Ompbell's argument lasted n full
hof. At the close he said. "The con
tention of the defense Is simply that
your honor erred In allowing Schmltz
to give the testimony he dM nmw
the cross-examination." Ho then
moved that all of this testimony he
stricken out. This was denied.
Ruef was then called. "Did vou

him this was his share of the money

ine defense objected and were over
ruiea. Kuer was very nervous. He
said, "I cannot state whether it un
January or February, but about
that time I gave him $1600. I told
mm the French restaurants had paid
a second Installment, and said It was
.'uuu snort this time."
Schmltz leaned far back In his chair
and stared at Ruef.
Ruef said he did not have a tvwl
tlve recollection of giving Schmltz any
more money about that time, but he
believed he gave him 1260 or half the
sum paid Ruef by Camllle Mallhe-
oaun, one of the restauranteurs.
The defense then took the witness,
BIG STRIKE FROM ACCIDENT.
Gold Find ami One Death Result
From Cavein.
I Helena, Mont., June 12. A mine
accident, which Indirectly resulted In
a fatality, has beeq responsible for
an unusual gold strike In the Hope
mine, 30 miles south of Helena. The
Hope at one time produced the rich
est ore In Montana and miners were
searched as they left the premises at
the shift end. One miner daily cach
ed small amounts and returning sev
eral years later to recover the treas
ure was arrested and sent to the
penitentiary.
About two weks ago there was a
cnveln and a miner named Collins mi
raculously escaped death, his body
being protected by falling timbers. It
took 17 hours to rescue him and so
great was his fright that when he
went to Butte afterwards he died
from heirt disease.
This cavein was so extensive that
the company determined to sink an
other shaft, with the result that al
most from the grass roots work has
been in the same ore that made the
property famous 10 years ago. It Is
ring operated by M. L. Hewett of
Helena.
ANTI-WEED ORDINANCE.
Probable, to Supplement the Recent
State Enactment.
It is probable that some action will
be taken by the city council tonight
towards enacting an anti-weed ordi
nance so as to eradicate the weeds In
accordance with the state law. By
the terms of the recently enacted law
It Is the duty of all Incorporated cities
and towns to see that they are kept
free from noxious weeds described In
the law.
There Is already a weed ordinance
In force, but as Its provisions are not
strong enough. It Is thought that an
other ordinance will be framed and
left with the street commissioner for
enforcement.
