KANSAS CITY', Mo., March 8.
Jcro P. Lillis wiU'wear deep scars
from tho knifo of John P. Cudahy
all his wife; Mrs. John P. Cudahy
probably will return to the home of
her parents in Omaha; an action at
law for separation and a legal
strugglo for possession of tho Cud
nhy children aro expected today to
bo the only publicly apparent results
of the sensational fight at tho Cud
ahy home Sunday morning.
It ia definitely known that Cud
ahy will not bo prosecuted for his
attack upon Lillis, unless Lillis
should dio of his wounds, which is
not considered probable.
On nil sides the offorts to "hush
np,rtho affair nro v?y apparent.
Would Drop It.
Cudahy is willing to let the
whole nffnir drop out of public no
tic'o as quickly as it will. Lillis, it
appears, is moro than willing. Gen
eral John C. Cowan, father of Mrs.
Cudahy, snid today thnt while he
believed his dnughtcr had been gross
ly wronged by the statements of her
husband, that for tho snko of the
children ho considered it best to say
as littlo as possible.
It was thought that Lillis could
bo removed to his home from St.
Mary's hospital today, but tho doc
tors decided that this would be un
wise After remaining quiet until tomor
row, however, it is believed that be
will be able to stand tho shock of
being removed. The wounds on bis
face and .about his mouth mako it
very difficult for him to speak, but
he has informed his counsel thnt ho
does not desire to push the -enso
ngninst Cudnhy.
No Divorce.
Tho announcement by General
Cownn that his daughter will not
sue for dirorco, but thnt she will
never live with hor husband again,
hns caused much speculation.
Doth Mrs. Cudnhy and hor hus
band profess deep affection for the
five children and the public here is
intensely interested in knowing what
kind of arrangement can bo made. It
is stated that Mrs. Cudahny will not
ask n divorce "for tho snko of the
children,"
Cudnhy remained silent todny nud
refused nil efforts to got him to
tnlk.
Ho would givo no hint ns to whnt
his plans aro. Ho has arranged to
live for tho present nt tho Coates
house.
"I can stand everything that thoy
are saying in tho pnpors nnd out of
thorn" is his only reply. "I guess I
hnvo already been hardened to gos
sip nnd tnlk. I positively will not
mnko n statement for publication."

SCALELESS FISH
IN BUTTE CREEK
If Lime and Sulphur Spray Works (But Only for-Ten Hours, and Over
on Trees, Why Shouldn't It Work lands Are Still Running East by
on Fish? Maybe It Will, and in f Way . of Medfe-rd Eastern Mails
the Near Future. j Are Delayed.
If limo and sulphur works on fish
liko-it does on trees, there will be
scaleless fish in Littlo Butte creek
this year, and the boss fishermen of
tho city can mako new records. How
the fish camo to bo sprayed was
more accident than intention.
Leo Brndshnw sent a man with u
team in from tho Brndshnw ranch on
Littlo Butte for a load of spray mn
torinl. There is a short cut to the
ranch by way of a ford across tho
creek, and tho teamster on his re
turn took the short cut. The wnter
hnd risen during his nbsonce nnd tho
bnnk on the'fnrthqr side hnd been
washed ont to some -oxtent. As a
consequence, when the team scram
bled out nnd pulled tho front wheels
up on tho bank the angle was so
steep that barrels, man nnd nil rolled
out of tho rear end of tho wagon.
Three of the barrels burst upon tho
rocks nnd filled the stream with an
evil-smelling, greenish compound,
through which tho driver finnlly
managed to swim to tho shoro. Tlio
oreek for somo distance was colored
with the substnnco.
"It that stuff works on fish like
it does on troos, there'll be no scnlo
on any Butto oreek trout this year,
and I believe I'm protty near immune,
too," is tho teamster's nssertion.
