for the time, and went for that freight
with q will.
They kept the matter Of the wreck a
profound secret, and it was . secret well
kept, for it was not until the night Of
the thirty.frst Of August that the news
reached the city. III the meantime our
industrious pilots had worked both day
ana night like beavers, having entire
possessisn of both beach and cargo.
They managed to have many goods
piled up at different points Of the beach,
worth thousands of fdollsfs.
Several trunks belonging to the i'll.
fated passengers came ashore in good
order, only to be broken open and riied.
One evidently belonged to lady Of
wealth, for it was filled with costly silk
dresses and clothing Of the finest order,
and laces worth many dollars. A gold
watch and chain, also two valuable
bracelets were found in this trunk. In
another trunk large pocket-book we'll
filled with bills was found by these for
tunate pilots.
In fact, they had bonanza and they
worked it for all it was worth, securing
gold watches, diamonds, well.6lled wal
let's, elaborate clothing and many tons
of valuable freight as their reward. In
deed, the latter was in such vast pro-
portions that teams were employed for
several days in hauling their find, and
large lighters were filed with produce

fully kept Monday and Tuesday, but
when the matter leaked out Tuesday
night, the whole city was alive with ex-
citement. Everybody that had a boat
or could borrow one, or press one into
service, hied away to the beach. Nor
was this wrecking fever confined to the
lower class or negro, but business men
and clerks for time turned wreckers,
and the beach was thronged with anxi.
GUS hunters for cast up treasures of the
sea.
Several bodies were washed ashore
After being inspected and pl"ndered
they were buried in the sanu on the
beach. The corpse Of a young lady
came ashore, on whose person was a
dress of rich silk, and on the finger was
a valuable solitaire diamond ring. She
was also buried on the beach, after
being riAed of valuables.

A Scarlet Woman Saves an Innocent

Leadville Chronicle.
The following singular and almost in
credible incident is vouched for by
gentleman whose credility is unimPea-

He states that some time ago a young
girl, about fifteen years old, came to
Leadville from somewhere in the East
in the expectation of finding friends
here
She was disappointed, her friends
having either removed or never having
lived here, and she became an aimless,
homeless wanderer in the streets of
Leadville. Night settled around her,
and she strsyed down State street, help.

sition in which 90 many of her sex be.
come an easy victim to the spoiler.
Soon she was approached by certain
abandoned women, who, observing her
loneliness, asked her who she was. Not
knowing the character Of the woman
she was speaking to. she made a conf
dante Of her, telling her why she had
come here, how she had been disappoin-
ted, and that she had been an outcast.
Touched by her sad story, the woman
told her to follow her. They proceeded
to a certain hotel, where the woman
engaged broad and room for her protege
for week, and then left her, promising
to provide for her while she remained
in Leadville.
she has bravely kept her word, The
young girl will be put at school, receive
music lessons, and is being provided for
as we'll as she could possibly be at
home. The woman visits her at regular
intervals and sees that she wants fol
nothing, boasting that she will give
the girl a good education if it takes every
cent she can earn BY her wicked prac.
tice.
What comments can be made on the
action of this woman? Who is the veal

tho murder they fled to Missouri, and
for time did we'll on farm in the
vicinity Of st. Charles. But Degarmore
seemed
FOREVER HAUNTED by THE SPIRIT
OF Ills VICTIM,
and 20 where he would, the shadow Of
his crime was never lifted from his
path. Fearing arrest, he came to Ar
kansas, where he lived in seclusion, dy-
ing suddenly just when detection seem
ed inevitable. Had he lived few weeks
longer he would have been in tho coils
Of the law, and would, perhaps, have
paid the penalty Of his crime on the
gallows. His wife claimed the Spirits
had told her just what to do, and in all
things she had followed their advice
and had been guided entirely by them.
Sharing bis guilty secret, they had told
her to remain with h;m to the end and
all would be well.
The price of his crime, she claimed
had long since been lost, his ill-gotten
gains slipping through his hands like
water, and doing him no good whatever.
Very rapidly the three men spread the
news of Graham's death and his wife's
solution Of the mystery which hung
around him, and quite o crowd of neigh
bors gave hisremains burial. Some sort
of inquest was held at the desire of his
wife, previous to interment, as she did
not wish, she said, to be deemed guilty
Of his death. Of course, the whole affair
was nine-dsys' wonder, but when some
ono suggested that Mrs. Graham OF
Degarmore had better be arrested, she
quietly sold her effects, went to the
nearest railway depot and took the train
for St. Lonis, and that is the last that
has been seen of her. And with her
disappearance vsnishes the living figure
of the long hidden crime, while the trag'
edy itself with all its details becomes 8
matter of local history.

years ago a man and his wife settled on

from here. He said he came from Mont
gomery county, No., and that his name
was Thos. Graham. Living in little
cabin, tendinga patch of corn and cot.

around left him to himself. Thus affairs
went on nearly two years, at the end of

that Graham h 4 murdered man in
Missouri, and that there was big re.

of gain is strong everywhere and it
found no exception ia this isolated sec.
tion. Three of his neighbors, arming
themselves with double barreled SHOT,
guns, laid plan to take him, and wen,
to the cabin, ostensibly to invite him to
hunt deer with them, but in reality in

opportunity presented itself. They put
