» THE "TOWN 15 LEFT WITHOUT TITLE Saco, Mont., Bereft by a Decision of General \ Land Office. Declares Founder Made False Entry on Townsite and It is Invalid. ANACONDA, Mont., Dec. 22—On the €round that David Lovell did not make truthful statements in 1896, when he ap- Dlied for title, or in 189,/ when he secured final receipt for his claim to the land, the Commissioner of the General Land Office has ordered the suspension of his entry to the townsite of Saco i Valley Counts When he entered upon the land Lovell declared it was unoccupied. When he ap- plied for patent he said he haa done the wvork required. Speclal agents of the -and Department say neither statement s true. Lovell has sold many town lots, which bave been improved at great expense, and Baco is now an important railroad point on the Great Northern. STATIONS TO WARN FARMERS OF STORMS | Signel Service Is Studying a Scheme That May Greatly Benefit Agriculturists. SAN JOSE, Dec. 24.—The United States signal service is investigating the adapt- ability of structures like the big electric tower of this city for signal stations throughout the country. A short time &go the practicability of usige the tower in this city as a station where the various storm signale couid be' displayed was broached by a traveling man to the City Council. This body viewed the subject in a light way and the matter was then laid before Official Forecaster McAdie in San Francisco. He pronounced the suggestion | a good one and said the use of the tower could be made of growers of the valley. The scheme was to use colored flags in the daytime and lights at night to an- nounce the approach of frost or storms The tower is 220 feet high and the sig- nals could be seen by the growers in ail directions for many miles, especially the lights at night. H. J. Edwards of the United Gas and Electric Company, who as the head of the Electric Improvement Company had | charge of the tower for years, received a of the signal service making inquiries about the tower, its cost, height, etc. These were given and it is understood the Government has since been further investigating the matter. The present tower cost about $800, but that was years recently 0. With the construction of such towers throughout the country as weather sta- tions a wireless system of telegraphy could also be maintained. The tower is constructed entirely of iron and its great height would prove an admirable Marcom station STEAMER OWNER TRIES TO LAND CHINESE CREW Customs Collector Prevents Intended Circumvention of the Exclu- sion Law. VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 23.—An applica- ion made by the agent of the steamer Manauense, just gold to the Northwestern Commercial Company by Captain E. F. Caine of Seattie, to have a crew of twenty Chinese landed here from the Orient to be transferred to the Manauense on her way north has been refused by Collector of Customs A. R. Milne of this city, and the d@ecision of the Collector’ has been upheld by the Dominion Minister of Justice. The epplication was made with & view of cir- cumventing the laws of the United States regarding the importation of Chinese crews. In Seattle and San Francisco similar applications have been refused and the vessel's owners turned their at- | tention to Canada in the hope that they could get around the law there. 4 —— MIDDLESBORO, Ky., Dec. 23.—Wi Mille, aged 19, was shot dead late last night by Christopher Turner.

Her brother, Archduke Leopold Ferdinand, and Professor Giron gre at the same hotel. The Archduke has assumed the name of De Buriano. The | party are living quietly and propose to | spend Christmas here. | The’Archduke was accompanied to this city by a beautiful woman who, it is sald, he intends to make his wife. The pres- ence of the Archduke and his.sister has | been made known to King George of Sa. ony and others who have interested them- seives in the search for tne Crown Prin- cess, but no attempt has been made to molest them. It is understood that the affair will be dropped, sv far as the in- | terested courts are concerned and that | the Crown Princess and her brother, re- lleved of all standing and prerogatives, | | will be permitted to pursue their ways as | they please. The Crown Prince, it is un- derstood, will seek to obtain a divorce. LOATHED THE CROWN PRINCE. Princess Louise Driven to Despera- | tion by Husband’s Conduct. | DRESDEN, Saxény;: Dec. 2. — King | | George and the Crown Bfince Frederick | | kncw where the Crown Princess Louise has sought refuge, but they have decided to accept the estrangement of the Prin- | cess and her husband asirreparable. They | have made the Cabinet privy to the cir-| cumstances of the Princess’ flight, as| they see them, and a decree of divorce is | m}keg of as a necessary sequence to the | Princéss’ resolution to leave the court | forever. | This determination of the Princess was anrounced to her husband early in No- vember after one of their frequent violent | scenes. She also confided her intention | to separate herself utterly from the court | | and all its “wretchedness” to two or three | of her intimate friends and discussed with | | them “the impossibility of her longer en- | during the artificial etiquette of the court | and the forced companionship of a man | who was loathsome to her.” | The Princess wrote to her mother at the end of November that it was her pur- | pose to leave the Crown Prince and give | up the prospect of the queenship, which, | instead of being attractive, the Princess | frequently said, was detestable to her. | She formally told members of her entour- | age that she was going to visit her | parents at Salzburg. The letter of the Princess to her mother | broyght the Archduchess immediately to | Dresden. She implored her daughter to | reconsider her determination and to make | the best of the unpleasant situation, for | | the sake of her children, and see as lit- | tle of the Crown Prince as possible. The | Primcess replied, according to one of her | confidantes, that she would see nothing of “that beast,” that the tutelage of her | chiliren was largely taken out of her hands and that she could not bear to see them spoiled by ‘“the hypocrisies of the court.” What she complained of in the Prince was his intemperance, his in- fidelity, and, as her partisans affirm, his | cruelty of disposition. They affirm that | he has for a year been on very friendly terms with an actress named Bastok, and | it_is reported that at a review of troops t!Grimm, a couble of years ago, the Prince fell from his horse intoxicated in | front of his regiment. However true | | these reports may be, the court and all Dresden knew that a chasm separated the | | afrections of the Crown Princess from the Crown Prince. Though he seemingly had | genuine admiration for his wife, the Prince did his share of quarreling and often tried to impose his will upon her, but he always hoped that she would in | the end humble herself. His attitude re- | cently, until she had actually gone, ap- | pears“to have been one of disdainful in- | gifference ana disbelief that she really | intended to carry out her threats. | The Crown Princess’ days at Salzburg | were spent in controversy with her father | and mother, who did not excuse her for {a moment in her mad desire to leave Her | position and family. Her brother took | her part. The circumstances of her flight are still obscure and no further reliable |mews is available. The only fact that | seems clear that the King and Crown | Priice know where she is and are in com- munication with her, Dresden is absorbed by the sensation. The theory that the Crown Princess is | suffering from mental aberration is now cnly feebly advanced by the Saxon court and the Prince’s adherents intimate that a love affair is the cause of the Princess’ | Gesertion, The Dresdener Nachrichten, one of the principal newspapers and having con- seryative leanings, after saying it could almost be sorry for the Princess, with a dieposition incompatible with that of the Prince and disliking the etiquette of this court, suggests that “to find the reason for her departure one must find the man.” The man in the case is the handsome French tutor of the Princess’ children. | garded as weak mentally.

An instance of the Princess’-lawless dis | regard of court manners was her eycling through the streets with an American dentist who at her request -taught ‘her to ride, though the King and Crown Prince commanded her not to learn. .The name of the dentist was at first coupled.with hers when it was heard that she had dis- appeared, but as he is quietly:living here with his family the story was dropped. The Crown Princess had a lively Vien- nese manner. She was- independent and high spirited and was inclined to ridicule the observances of the little Saxon court. e i SHARES SISTER'S- DISGRACE. Archduke Leopold Ferdinand Has His Own Love Affair. VIENNA, Dec. 2.—The flight of the Crown Princ of Saxony is the absorb- ing topic here. All kinds of sensational reports are in circulation. When she left Salzburg, accompanied by her brother, Archduke Leopold Ferdinand, the Prin- cess went to Munich, where Professor Gi- ron, the French tutor, awaited her. Her brother also was joined there by a beauti- ful Viennese woman and the two couples proceeded to Brussels and thence to Geneva. Archduke Leopold Ferdinand intends to take the name of Leopold Woelfling. Be- sides formally renouncing his rank and dignities as a member -of the imperial house, the Archduke has returned all of his decorations, including that of the Golden Fleece, and has resigned his com- mission in the Austrian army. It is ex- pected that he will marry his Viennese companion. His relatives prevented his taking this step morganatically several months ago. The Archduke' was one time secretly betrothed to Donna Elvira, the second daughter of Don Carlos, who eloped with unt Filippo Folchi in 18%. He is re- He professes extreme radical amd anarchistic views. The whole of the Archduke's career is redolent with. scandal, dating from the time when he started to accompany the heir to the throne on a tour of the world. He got only as far as Colombo, where ho | was obliged to leave the ship on account ot his/behavior. The Archduke has since been mixed up in a number of affairs and was confined for some months in an asy- lum. It appears that when the Crown Prince returned recently to Dresden after his hunting accident in Tyrol he. diseovered that secret correspondence, existed ~be- tween the Princess and thrench tutor, whose former relations with her had cre- ated a scandal, resulting in the tutor's expulsion from Saxony. Besides disclos- ing the couple’s relations, the letters re- vealed another scandal. Immediately af- terward the Princess left home and went to Salzburg. The fact that she took a trunk filled with jewelry and other val- uables indicated that she was prepared for any emergency. ) PRINCE AND ARCHDUKE FIGHT. Brother of Louise Worsts Her Hus- band in Encounter. BERLIN, Dee. 23—A dispatch from Drésden to the Lokal Anzeiger confirms previous advices from Geneva to the ef- in Geneva with Professor Giron. He is described as 24 years old and “a striking personality, with large, bright eyes.” The court of the fugitive Princess has been dissolved. The Tageblatt's Dresden correspondent says: The difficulty between the princely couple fect that the Crown Princess of Saxony is | dates from prior to King Albert's death. They had several painful scenes during the King's fliness, It is reported here that the Crown Prince's recent accident, ostensibly the: breaking of ons ot his legs while hunting' in the Bavarian Mountains near Salzburg, was an invention; the fact being that he had a fight with his brother-in-law. Archduke Leopold Ferdinand, and the Crown Prince was so badly, handled that he had to take to his bed. The Saxon Ministers say the affalr fs defl- nitely closed so far as the Dresden court i3 concerned. The -letters of the Crown Prin- cess have been selzed.
