OswEGo. Aug. 30.-Two hundred and
nine years a-p John Springer, wealthy
Swede. deposited fl75.om in a bank III

with his family. consisting of his wife
and one son. Their subsequent history
i somewhat obscure, but it is claimed

named John. William. james, Joseph
and Edward, settled somewhere IN New
Netherlands, and took mp II tract of 49,
900 acre, of land, including the whole Of
she present city Of Wilmington, Del,
and parts Of Jersey City and Brooklyn.
Thi, large property was put into the
hands Of a trustee, who, on the breaking
out af the revolution, n j. alleged. be-
came a Tory. clandestinely sold the
SCI Springer estates in small parcels and
fed 10 England with the money. nthe
excited period which followed the titles
IN the property became all mixed up,
the rightful proprietor- died one by one,
and the result was that the heirs We're
not able to establish, or, in fact, proper
" prosecute their claims. and after a
while the efforts "a establish their rights
was abandoned and the subject passed
into oblivion.
About eight years ago some OF the de-
sccmdauts Of the Springers, in looking
iip the family history, came in posses
sion of these facts. aud correspondence
wa opened with all tine persons OF that
family name who could he heard of.
About four years ago the Springer Asso-
citation wis formed, with headquarters
in ST. Louis. to make an effort 10 recov-

LOVELY L%EADVILLE.
Another Murder Added to the Reek-
ing List Of the Carbonate
. Camp.

Information has been received from
Leadville about another shooting ARRAY
which has no doubt resulted fatally long
ere this appears in print. The man
who did the shooting Is a character
known here Us s'Slim Jim.p When he
went to Leadville, he fell in with
another gambler named Brown. He
''called" on a hand that was beat and
'swent broke" Jim "staked' him
again, and Brown lost a second time.
The two got into a controversy over
the losses and they parted, Jim vowing
that he would have his revenge. He
armed himself with two revolvers and
repaired to Nose Comforts gambling
house, where he met Brown. He ap
piled an opprobrious epithet to Brown
and got his face slapped for his pains.
Then drawing a revolver from his hip
pocket he shot at Brown three times.
The wounds were supposed to be fatal
and when our informant left the camp
Brown was given up by the physicians.
His assailant was arrested and placed
in jail at Leadville. He operated pretty
extensively as a "capper'' and ''steerer''
in Denver and was noted as a celebrat-
ed monte man who formerly operated
in Montana. Brown, his victim, was
also a gambler.
