GREAT FALLS, Mont, Nov. 9.— Through the offices of the commissioner of the interior, orders were received by the local land office here to-day with- drawing from land entry 2,142,720 acres of land in the Great Falls land district.

BOSTON, Nov. 9.—Victor and Robert McKay, the two sons of Gordon McKay, the late millionaire inventor of shoe ma- chinery, are practically cut off in thelr father's will from all share in his estate, while Harvard University will eventually receive the entire estate, valued at sey. eral millions of dollars; the interest of the fund to be used to promote sciences. The will was filed to-day, i3 i i | tin, and though it was known in the Ital- | playing slon. The story is that Migalo was shot by Crudo in a quarrel and that Reccetto, his cousin, and a man named Vito Tupo Migalo, who was a married man, for- 'rly kept a bootblack stand at Eddy and | Taylor streets. Lately he operated a| stand on Fourth street. ° MURDER LEADS TO MURDER. The first bad blood that led to the kill- ing of Migalo was caused in the trial for murder of Vincero Pagano, a former part- ner of Joseph Crudo, some months ago. Pogano was accused of the murder of his uncle, Pasqualle Faro. acquitted in Judge Dunn’s court by the jury on the ground of self-defense. Crudo and Migalo were witnesses in the trial of Pagano. Crudo testified for Pa- gano that he had heard Faro make threats to kill Pagano, while Migalo was a witness for the prosecution. The bad feeling between Crudo and Migalo, caused by their appearing on dif- ferent sides at the trial of Pagano, led to further trouble. Crudo bought out the right to operate | the bootblack stand run by Migalo at Eddy and Taylor streets, paying $200 to | the saloonkeeper where the stand was lo- | cated. This occurred about two months ago, and since that time Migalo has fre- quently quarreled with Crudo. Investigation made yesterday showed that Crudo and Migalo were seen to-| gether last Sunday night in the saloon formerly owned by Crudo at 1405 Dupont street. HAD A BITTER QUARREL. | The men were engaged in playing the Italian game of *“‘muro,” and had high words about the purchase of Migalo's bootblack stand. Friends intervened and | separated the two men. ‘The quarrel was resumed at the corner | of Green and Dupont streets and a few minutes later the shot was fired that kille@ Migalo. He was found by his son John a few | minutes after the shooting and was at the time. Migalo said to his son, God, I am shot,” but was unable to tell the name of his slayer, as he died almost | instantly after making his exclamation. | John Migalo claimed yesterday that he | would produce two witnesses who heard | Pagano was why have you shot me,” but he refused | to give the names of these witnesses. | Joseph Crudo went to the Hall of Jus- tice yesterday and had a talk with Victor Demartini, the official interpreter. He sald he had just dropped Into see Demar- ian quarter that Crudo was suspected of being implicated in the murder, the police | were all at sea regarding whom suspicion ointed at. Later on Crudo was arrested at his home and taken to the Hall of Justice. TELL CONFLICTING STORIELS. ‘When Crudo was questioned by the de- tectives he admitted that he had been with Migalo on Sunday night in the saloon | on Dupont street and that they had played “muro” together, the third party being Crudo’s cousin, Reccetto. Crudo said Migalo had quarreled with him, but that they finally parted friends | at the corner of Green and Dupont treets, and that he, Crudo, then went to his home close by. Reccetto when questioned by the detec- tives told a contradictory story. He as- serted that he and Migalo had been in ' the Dupont-street saloon on Sunday night “muro” and that his cousin, “rudo, had not been in the place all even- 1 ing. Both Crudo and Reccetto denied any knowledge of the killing of Migalo, but the police feel confident that they are the men implicated in the murder and therefore detained them. | Crudo's statement that he parted good friends with Migalo at the corner of Green and Dupont streets is contradicted by Guiseppe Celia, who operates a bootblack stand at California and Kearny streets. Celia said yesterday that he was with three friends on Sunday night at Gréen and Dupont streets, when he et Migalo and another man. They engaged in con- versation and then Crudo, with Vito Tupo and Pletro Migalo, came up and joined the gathering. CELIA CONTRADICTS CRUDO. Celia declares that Crudo and Migal engaged in a bitter quarrel about the af- fair of Crudo buying out Migalo'’s boot- biack stand and that high words passed. It is clatmed by Celia that Crudo cursed Migalo and told him he would buy out | any business he engaged in. | “I went down In a cellar with my | friends,” sald Célla, “to get some wine. The last I saw of Migalo he was stand- ing where I left him and Crudo was going toward the corner of Kearny street. Ten minutes later a man came into the wine c:ll:.r and sald that Migalo had been shot.” The scene of the murder is just one block from the spot where Celia saw Crudo and Migalo quarreling and the po- lice think that Migalo followed Crudo and that he renewed the quarrel with his enemy, which resulted in the murder. The description given by persons who saw three men running away from the scene of the murder tallies with that of Crudo, Reccetto and Tupo. —_——— Death of Charitable Woman.

While a fire raged in a dwelling on College way, near Hearst Hall, at day- light this morning, President Wheeler scurried around and helped the volun- teer fire department pour water on the flames. Fire Chlef Kenny would not say that President Wheeler acted the hero or saved Hearst Hall all by himself, but, at any rate, he relled a good deal on his | judgment. Mr. Wheeler was active in | peinting out to Chief Kenny the places where the water would do the most good, | and invartably the firemen followed his advice—because it was good advice. . He wasn’t afrald of soiling his hands or get- ting his clothes wet, either, and often as- sisted with the hose. The burned dwelling was occupied by Mrs. L. E. McCoppin as a boarding house. Mrs. McCoppin and her guests were forced to leave in a hurry after the | alarm was sounded, as the fire had gained | considerable headway. The guests were | Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Sabin, Mrs. A. A. | Goodwin, H. T. Nowell, Harry Toohy | and R. A. Zimmerman. The damage was —_——— EMPEROR'S FAMILY WORRIED. Death of Kaiser’s Parents by Cancer Is Unhappily Recalled. | T0 THE Y.

The offi- clal statement issued by the surgeons fails to reassure, because It is well un- derstocd that, for reasons of state, the Emperor would be given the benefit of any doubt as to the true character of his disease. * It is recalled that the surgeons at that time made nothing of the first operation upon Emperor Frederick. There is anxi- ety because both Emperor Willlam's father and mother died of cancer and his grandmother, Augusta, also was so af- flicted. The Emperor's aunt, the Grand- duchess of Baden, as is well known in Germany, is suffering from the same mal- ady. It will take months to decide whether the fears now entertained are unfounded. At present the whole weight of scientific | authority which is in attendance upon the Emperor affirms that he has not can- cer. —_— Marriage Licenses.

BERKELEY, Nov. 9.—Professor Georgs Mills Howison of the philosophy depart- ment of the University or California in- | timated to one of his classes to-day that we charge too many of our troubles against the Almighty. This tendency he illustrated by producing a Wells, Fargo Express receipt, on which was written: | - “That Wells, Fargo & Co. shall not be | held Nable for loss or damage, except as | forwarders only, within their own lines of | eommunication, nor for any loss or dam- | age by fire or casualties of navigation, and inland transportation, nor for such | as can be referred to as the acts of God.” | . “That shows,” said Professor Howison. “the bellef commonly held that God is | responsible for the disasters that over- | take us in this world. And that company spells God with a capital G, I believe. Now, If the Supreme Being Is going about wrecking the baggage of Wells, Fargo & Co., he is in a mighty small business.” | Professor Howison's observations were | uttered while he Was discussing with his | class Jonathan Edwards’ ethical theories. s et Says He Will Not Enter Cabinet.
