Fat Find of a Trinity River Ferryman-
Who Lost e BcOdle2
ALVIN, TEX, May 26.-On the Trinity
river, in Leon county, is ferry known as
Alabama crossing, and in early days as
Albrlght's In the days Of the republic
man na ned Albright owned the ferry and
kept tavern there. 1t was a noted place
in that then thinly settled country
Albright was at one time assessor aud col
!eut)r for Houston coulty, and claimed to
have been robbed of $4,000 IL pubic
funds, accusing two ci izens Of Leon cOdnJy
Of the theft, but it could not be proven, and
in course of time was forg 'ttsu, but a. oc-
curreuce of the past Few days regives these
old memories. On the Houston county side
of the ferry LAYS a large stone, and the
present owner of the ferry, Gid Webb,
wishing to get this stone ont of his way,
pried il up, and hidden underneath found
So, 900 III gold. This rep rt comes well
authenticated. Query: How came that
money under that sto el That it was there
Mr. Webb has the satisfaction of knowing
But whose money is it!
There are several legends in that country,
adjace t to the old san Antonio road, of
immense treasures hidden by the Mexcans,
as that road was the only one from Nacog-
doches to san Antonio before the settlement
Of the interior Of Texas, and many bloody
battles bet cen Mexlcaus and IldIans were
fought. Many people fully believe in the
truth Of these treasures being hidden ia
some of the lakes or lagoons. A few years
ago, a negro cutting wood in Robinson
county Cut down hollow tree, and found
81 800 in gold in the cavity. This find will
revive these old stories, and treasure seeAe.

RUINED BY A WOMAN.
One of the Most Remarkable Conspirs-aea
Ever Brought to Light.

One of the Most Remarkable Conspira-lea
Ever Brought to Light.
A drama in real life. which combines the
distinctive features OF the Diss Debar and
Flack sensations, with touch Of tragedy
added, had been slowly worked out almost to
the last act in New York city when an unex-
pected interruption not long ago put the
principal actors to fight. The facts of the
case have been published in The New York
Sun. The comedy had advanced to this
point: An adventures, who has other
wealthy New York victims, had estranged a
rich contractor from his wife and family; she
had secured from him property amounting to
almost million; secret divorce and mar
riage had been considered; the real wife had
barely escaped an assassin's bullet.
The real name of the woman in the case is
Caroline F. Wells. She was once, and prob
ably still is, the lawful wife of Emmett Wells,
a hop commission broker, of New York city.
Her principal victim is George F. Woolston,
a contractor well known throughout the
west as a builder Of railroads and water
works Previous to 1889 Mrs. Wells, as far
as is known, was a dutiful wife and good
woman
About fifteen years ago she married Em-
met Wells. So far as is known she was faith
full TO him during the eight or nine years
they lived together. In 1881 she left him,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-11-24

Woolston and his companion, early In July
| of the present year, went to board with Pro
| fesSor Houston, ct Wray's cottage, Sleeps
| head Bay, under the names of Mr.. and Mrs
G. r. Walton. Mrs Woolston heard that
| they were there, and went to see for herself
| if the rumor was true. 1t was late Friday
| afternoon, Sept. 20, when she reached the
place. 1t was evident that Mrs Walton"
! did not expect callers. She was expecting
her husband" however, and as the carriage
drove up to the cottage she rushed to the
door 60 welcome him But it was the In
jured wife who faced her. Mrs Walton
| was the first to speak
~ don't know you'll" she exclaimed, loud
enough for Mrs Houston TO hear. ooh, yes,
you dor replied Mrs. Woolston.
The bogus wife turned to Mrs. Houston and
said: This woman claims to know who |
am. never saw her before, but know who
she Is. She is crazy. She WAS divorced from
my husband seven years ago, and she has
been following US ever since. l shall not
stay here another minuter'
Then she rushed to the railroad station and
boarded an outgoing train.
Mrs. Woolston put detectives upon her
track and then turned her attention to the
trunks which had been left behind
She secured a search warrant and they
were opened in the presence Of several wit
nesses, and mass Of evidence was revealed.
There were letters from Mr.. Woolston which
established his guilt even without his confes-
sion.
Tho most serious evidence found was in re-
lation to a divorce which was being cooked
up in order to secure a separation from the
legal wife.
The first evidence that such course was to
be pursued was found in q letter from a law
yer named C. Harold Fife, Of Vicksburg,
Miss, and addressed to F. L. v Walton. As
it was found in her trunk, and as she had
gone by the name Of Walton, it was presumed
to be in answer to one written by her on that
subject In the letter Lawyer Fife said he
could get q divorce quietly in six weeks with
out Mr.. VS. presence. The fee would be SIS
at first and SO additional il the divorce was
obtained.
The real wife of George r Woolston was
seen by Sun reporter in Boston, where she
lives with her two sons. The story which
she told was long and painful one, and in
cluded the details of a plot to have her con
fined as lunatic She also said:
IAN attempt was made to shoot me last
August when was on my way to join my
husband in the west The train was just
leaving Pittsfeld when a bullet crashed
through the window. 1t came Just as l
stopped forward to pick up something, and
buried itself in the opposite side of the car.
If had not changed my position the bullet
would have gone through my temple did
not think it was anything more than an 40
cident at the time, but when I was overhaul
ing this womans trunks l found a scrap of
paper that had eyid" ptly been torn from
some letter in which Il shooting affair was
mentioned. Then Icoucluded that the bullet
was fired more through design than by aOci-

Use among our OWE criminals. many ngn-
waymen in different parts of Europe are said
to display considerable mastery in its employ
Hient, being able to infiict any kind of blow,
from one which will merely stun to one
which will main, ruin or even kill OF those
who have been convicted of sandbagging in
our criminal courts, not one has shown any
familiarity with the deadly instrument Of
crime. All of them have been coarse, brutal
characters and generally men of low intelli-
gence.
1.-THE most impressive quality of the sand
bag lies in its not abrading the skin of the
person who is struck by it. There was case
only q short time ago where mans skull
had been fractured, and yet there was no in
dication Of injury, so far as the cuticle was
concerned, not even to the medical eye
"The skull w8s very thick and hard, SO
that the blow must have required terrific
amount of force, probably representing the
combination Of a heavy sandbag and a
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-11-24

powerful assailant. In any number of in
stances where men have been stunned in this
manner by highwaymen, there was no tell
tale mark whatever-the only indication of
where the injury had been inflicted being O
soreness Of the flesh or nerves just below the
skin. Where, however, q bag is heavily
weighted, as, for example with lead pipe,
then discoloration, often very considerable.
marks the place of the injury. This is espe-
cially true where the blow is so strong that
besides rendering the victim unconscious it
also infiicts more serious damage
''Sandbagging is notas rare sis commonly
believed Criminals, especially those of for
eign origin, carry these instruments of death
quite frequently. There is, however, a SEEM
ing periodicity in their use, just as there is in
other forms of crime. In nearly every civil
lied country where good police statistics are
kept, it seems that both garroting and sand
bagging come into fashion every fifteen or
twenty years and meet with little success,
which arouses storm Of popular Indignation
and insures the detection and conviction of
the offenders 1t may be Of interest to add
at this point the singular fact that this style
of highwayman is usually first betrayed by
his own associates. There is something so
uOd1, ASL OSlOuo tltl4 SO"dLOAJ ia
ging, that it excites feeling of disgust in
minds faMiliarized with crime 1t is from a
chance word or sentence that falls under such
circumstances that the clews are given upon
which the criminals are ascertained and their
conviction secured
There is always novelty in the instru-
ments of crime. The odd sandbags described
are but few OF the long list which are dis
covered by the police. There appear to be
number of inventive men who take pecu-
liar delight in creating new and deadly weap-
ons Last week, for example, an English
seaman was arrested who was carrying about
as murderous tool as can be imagined 1t
was set of brass knuckles, heavier and ug-
ier than usual At the top, opposite the
thumb, there was attached to it revolver,
and at the bottom sharp, double edged dirk
projected three inches below the lower line
of the hand. Its owner could shoot, strike
OF stab in almost the same movement
"The French exposition thiS'year has borne
fruit in the same line, A cane is so arranged
with knife blade in the handle that slight
jar converts 1t into a short spear The same
principle is applied to umbrellas, parasols
and even fans, and enables a woman to con-
vert her parapheTnalia into travelling ar
seual.
1.-The principleof the air-cane gun has been
likewise extended in many directions We
now have an air pistol, as well as disguised
derringers and revolversof various sorts, and
have them concealed in as many forms as
the cane spear and umbrella lance men
toned
''The most horrible weapon among thenov-
elites is the creation Of some American brain
or freak, 1t is hard 10 say which. In exter-
nal appearance the instrument is good imi-
tation of police club 1t is made, however,
of hollow metal, and not of wood. A hand
cuff attachment, with steel chains, fastens it
to the owners wrist in the frmest manner.

UHBRELLA sPEAR-PEPPEE LANCET CLUB.
"a spring in the handle operates valve
in the lower end of the club, opening a series
Of minute holes IN the latter and permitting
the free escape of some red pepper stored
taerc with the pleasant intention of binding
a victim A second spring in tho handle
throws hundred razor edged lancets from
withiH the interior TO varying positions on
the exterior of the club. A man catching
hold of the club would have his hand cut to
rags the moment the spring was touched, and,
il struck by it with even the smallest amount
OF force, would die from loss Of blood ensu-
ing upon the opening of SO many veins and
arteries. W. E. s. FALES.
