The Boston Murder Conspiracy Story.
ALLEGED SURPRISING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MENTARY EVIDENCE

Tne Boston Murder conspiracy story.
ALLEGED SURPRISING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MENTARY EVIDENCE.
A telegram from Boston last night says that
no application has yet been made for extradi-
ton papers for A. l.. Mellen. No action will
probably be taken till to-day. Mellen is watched
by Boston detectives. 1t is said that in the
grand jury room Monday the developments
surprised even the officers who had charge of
the case. James Donahue, alias "John Bull, -
produced documentary evidence which they
had never seen before and which cOrrOborated
his evidence TO even a greater degree than they
had dreamed possible. All the witnesses be-
fore the grand jury were questioned by jurors
as to whether any thing was said of obtaining q
divorce by Mrs. Coolidge. Their answers were
in the negative.
The Baltimore american of to-day says: "The
police authorities of this city have received no
continuation Of the dispatch published yes.er-
day from Boston ANNOUNCING that the grand
jury of THAI city had found an Indictment
against Mr.. A. l.. Mellen, of the ST. James hotel,
together with Mrs. Emma Coolidge, Tor con-
spiracy in trying to murder Mrs. Edward l..
Melien. Marshal Frey stated that he had heard
nothing from the Boston authorities in refer
ence to the indictment and that he had re-
ceived no order tor the arrest of Mr.. Mellen. In
case an indictment is found the Boston police
will no doubt secure requisitiOn papers from
the governor of Massachusetts, On Gov. Lloyd

In the valleys are many desirable tracts ofagrcuitura land, sus- ceptible of irrigation. sufficiency of water has grazed, and large herds have been grazed in the country ever since the coming of the Mexicans. Wells have been sunk and good water has been obtained.

There are numerous fine valleys opening into the valley of the San Jose, hanked by grassy and woo- ded hills, upon which there is open growth of small cedar and pinon. There Is nsive belt railroad, and good springs found on both slopes of the Sierre Madre. There Is a large coal field west of Fort Wingate which has been fully cx- pored, and which will afford labor for large pop uation there are also coal deposits on the eastern slope of the Sierra Madre. Many varieties of buil- ding stone arc found in great abundance along the line of the road.
 In Arizona the grazing areas are supplied with good water and the United States Surveyors, who made the official surveys of the country, say they good, if not better, than those of Wyoming and Montana.

 On these mountains there Is an extensive timber belt diversified by beautifiIl valleys and parks, with good water and wonderful eanons. tf1roqh z which the road passes. In fact the whole of the country traversed by the road is very picturesque and bcautiful and many towns are .being built along its route,
 The Valley of the Rio Graude. at Albuq Gerqe is 5000 feet above the sea, and the passes of the Sierra Madre and the San Francisco mountains, in Arizona, have elevations of 7,3oo, witha depres- sion at Winslow, on the Little Colcrado, where the altitude is 5000 feet the climate is mild and saiubrous. Cattle and sheep graze throughout the year and do not need to be sheltered or grain fed during the winter. The nights cool during the summer.
 The Company is nov prepared to make sales of its grazing lands in quantities of 5o,ooo acres or more, at prices ranging from dollar (or even less for larger quantities. to dollar and half an acre, upon payment of ohe-fourth the purchase value at date of contract of sale, the remainder in payments as may be agreed upon; bearing six per cent interest ; and lrrigabe agri- cultural lands in tracts of forty acres or more.
 The belt of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Land Grant includes the only available grazing land in the country south of the Missouri River that can be purchased in large areas and the section of country through which this road passes will become the best beef producing region of the United States.

THE FOOL KILLER.

I sometimes think that if the fool killer would give a little more attention to his business and would try a little harder to earn his salary there would be less com plaint and less dissatisfaction on the part of the intelligent tax payer. Now, for instance, sup pose that he should, prior to each election, hold kind of competi- tive examination of fools, to close with grand tournament and fool shoot at thirty yards rise, or the fool could be made to pay each year for a license, the revenue to go to the government, partial fools to pay $50 license, chronic fools $100 and hopeless fools $2OO per year. I'd like to be instrumental in getting such a law passed, and then get out of the country be- fore 1t went into effect.-Bill Nye.
