HE SLEEPS IN MEXICO.

A Texas Peddler Branches out on
a Large Scale, on the Strength OF
an Alleged Legacy from Germany
--His Creditors Now Have the
Store.
EAGLE PASS, TEXAS, Oct. 17-About
eight months ago, there drifted into
Eagle Pass, a mar who began peddling
with a pack on his shoulders. In
afew weeks he became the proprietor
Of a small dry goo3s store, under the
name of M. D. Spiro. There came a
report and legal documents from Ger
many, stating that Spiro had fallen heir
to 10000 marks by the death of a
wealthy uncle. Soon after the receipt
Of this news Spiro branchsd out in
business on an extensive scale. M. S.
Steinhardt, of this place, was taken in
as a partner. They established a big
credit and bought, perhaps, $4,000
worth of goods of various houses in
Texas and St. Louis. Among their
creditors were the Oppenheimers, of
Cou AAOObAOS anu oONCIuA AolBO
houses of this city. While the
collection of SpirO's German lega-
cy was under way Spiro was
devOting his leisure hours to planning
the erection of a gorgeous Masonic
He had even let contracts for
the material. All his plans were shat
tered by the unexpected arrival yester-
day of Anton Oppenheimer, of San
Antonio, who proceeded to lay an at
tachment on the well filled warehouse
of Spiro & Co. Their business had
grown so rapidly that two large store
and warehouses were required
to hold the goods. .Oppenheimer had be-
come suspicious and cabled to Germany
regarding the alleged legacy, and
received a cable reply telling him that
the whole story was a fabrication and
that Spiro had no wealthy relations.
The willy man has been sleeping acros
the river in Piedras Negras, Mexico, for
several nights, and when he learned of
Oppenhsimer's arrival he did not
come across. 1t is thought he has nc
less than $4,000 in cash with him.

The Exploration Of the Far North--
A Wonderful Journey.

The Exploration Of the Far NORTH
A Wonderful Journey.
CHICAGO, Oct. l5.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, who is in the city, received a
telegram yesterday from Lieut.. Henry
7. Allen, of the second cavalry, stating
that he arrived safely at San Francisco
after his Alaska explorations, having
completed the journey through the re-
gions of the far north, which, in the
opinion of Gen. Miles, excelled all ex-
plorations on the American continent,
since Lewis and Clark's, and the worlds
record since Livingston's. 1t. Allen
left Sitka last February and journeyed
to the mouth of Copper river, which
he followed until he reached the great
Alaskan range Of mountains. These
he crossed on snow shoes to the head
of Tennah river. In its marvellous
accomplishment, for seven or eight
hundred miles he followed the Tennah
until it, emptied into Takon, the great
river of the north, to its mouth, a
distance of four or FIVE hundred miles
more. Upon the completion of his
great journey, Lieut.. Allen repaired
to Fort Michael,on Behring straits, and
returned on the steamer Corwin.
The exploration of Tennah and Takon
rivers has been the ambition of
explorers long before Alaska came in
possession of the United States, but
the Russians failed each time it was
attempted. Since then several expla-
nations by American officers have end
ed in failure, until among army officers
on the Pacific coast the feat came to be
considered well nigh impossible. Lieut..
Aliens companions were a sergeant
and an officer Of the signal corps, to-
gether with Indians whom he per-
suaded TO join him.

An Old Feud Settled.

SOUTH BEND, IND, Oct. 15.-An
old feud between two farmers, VIM.
Snyder and Thomas Jetton, ended In a
tragedy yesterday. Snyder came to
Jetton's farm from his own, adjoining,
bringing with him a sheep belonging
20 Jetton, which had got with Sny-
der's flock. The old quarrel was re-
sumed and Snyder finally struck at
Jetton with a long chain. Jetton in
stantly whipped out a revolver and
began shooting. When he got through
he had put five shots in Snyder's body
and n through his clothing. The
wounded man started off, but dropped
dead in a lawn near by. Jetton came
to this city, gave himself up and is
now in Jail. He claims that be acted
in self. defense. Snyder leaves a wife
and three children.
