Series of Strange Crimes Perpe-
trated by a ChicagOan.
CHICAGO, July ga man who gives
the name Of Walter Van Valkenberg
was arrested last night for series of
strange crimes. He is accused of
chloroforming and then robbing inno-
cent girls and women of their jewelry,
money or valuables. Van Valkenberg
says he is nineteen years old. Sunday,
July 13, Miss Kittie Howell, Phila-
delphla girl, who is visiting cousin in
this city, reported at the central station
the loss of diamonds worth $3.50. She
said she had been chloroformed and md
robbed by Van Valkenberg. She told
the detectives Van Valkenberg had
been introduced to her by friend, and
that he had invited her to the theater.
She started to the theater with him the
evening of July IL, but he said it
was too late, and proposed
trip to a beer garden, where
they drank lemonade. She suddenly
became very sick and started home.
Becoming too sick to travel, Van Val
kenberg took her into saloon, telling
her that he would get her something
that would relieve her. He ordered
lemonade and offered the bartender 80
to ''fix" the drink. The bartender re-
fused. Van Valkenberg himself drugged
it-probably with choloroform-an be-
fore Miss Howell could reach the side
walk and take a car she became nn-
conscious. She knew nothing further
until Saturday, when she awoke in
room at the Hixon house. All of the
diamonds, valued at $3.50, were gone.
When next heard from Van Valken-
berg had taken young woman into
saloon ana, under the pretense OF ex-
amining her diamond ring, walked out
of the place with it in his possession.
Last night the young man was found in
company with Mrs. Dora May. The
woman wore diamonds worth over ST.
600, and the young man had bottle of
chloroform in his pocket. He had also
the diamond ring he had stolen few
days before. He did not deny his guilt.
and produced the greater portion of
Miss HOWell'S diamonds.

WASHED OUT A RAILROAD.
Terrific ClOudburst in Clear Creek
Canon, Cal.

DENVER, Col. July 22.-At midnight
last night occurred a terrific catastrophe
that has temporarily isolated the towns
up Clear Creek canon from the world.
At that hour an immense cloud burst
near the forks of creek, pouring
deluge of water within the narrow walls
of the canon. 1t completely demolished
the two iron railway bridges at the
forks, and, as far as can be learned, an
initiated all the structures in the vicin-
ity. The restaurant. the depot and the
outhouses were swept away by the
flood. Fortunately, it is believed, no
lives were lost. The immense column
of water laden with wreckage went
tearing down the canon with the result
that to-day. from the forks to Golden,
there is scarcely vestige of the rail-
road left. The greater portion OF the
road bed is washed away and all means
Of communication are destroyed. After
the cloud burst furious hailstorm set
in, and it is reported that hail foot
deep is lying in the canon. At11 o'clock
this morning train loaded with bridge
timbers and conveying 200 men left
Denver for the scene Of destruction. 1t
will be about three days before the
road is repaired.

win, cigarette girl employed in Hall's
factory, shown by her picture to have
been of rare beauty, was tortured to
death by abortionists within two weeks
in successive denS in Harlem. Her
lover paid for the killing of her, and a
medical practitioner was hired to do the
job. When it was done, the doctor,
aged over seventy years, carried the
body of his victim down four flights of
stairs at the dead of night and took it
away in his carriage, where nobody
knows. The doctor is Henry G: Nc
Gonigal, of 217 West One Hundred and
Harrison, young man about town, who
lives at % West One Hundred and
Twentieth street. Besides these,
Fanny Shaw, the old woman in whose
rooms at 1O7 East One Hundred and
Fifth street the girl is alleged
to have died, is under arrest.
She claims to be washerwoman.
There are likewise witnesses to the
girls death detained. A boy who held
the door open for the doctor, as he car
ried the dead girl out to his vehicle. is
one. The doctors record is against
him. He has. over and over again been
arrested for malpractice, but has always
escaped punishment. The lover in the
case cOnfesses that he put up" for the
girl, but claims to know nothing of the
abortion. Friday last person, whose
identity the police will not reveal, over
heard in an elevated train part of
conversation between two passengers.
He gathered that Annie Goodwin had
disappeared from her home; that she
had been sin trouble" and that an ops
Grafton had been performed. This per-
son informed Detective Price of what
he had overheard on reaching Harlem.
The police at once suspected old McGon-
igal. 1t was only early to-day that
they began to see the end OF 1t, when
the 126th police station held the per-
sons mentioned above. At noon the po-
lice proved their suspicious correct.
The clew that had been turned up in
the bureau of vital statistics, followed to
the end, discovered the fact that Annie
had been buried in St. Michael's ceme-
terry, Jersey City, under the name of
Jane Wilson, aged twenty-nine years.
Her home was given as at 229 East One
Hundred and Eighth street. Another
horror was added to the story by the
discovery that the certificate Of death
was applied for and the burial permit
made out on the day previous s-July II.
The girl died July IL. In the Harlem
police court, Justice Power held the
doctor In $4,000 bail and he was locked
up for examination Friday. Gus Harri-
son was held in $4,000 and Sadly Lapha-
gen in $500. McGonigal is the patentee
of the "McGonigal Wood Pavement
and steam sand sitter.

keepers in the smaller towns took hold
and contributed their share to the eX,
penses of the organization, the society,
they SAID, would soon be thing of the

ficit of 1925. They said: Fall electiona

stealthily but steadily at work, the
times call for vigorous action OH the
part of all friends of personal liberty"

year occurred about O'Clock this after
noon on the Kaukauna division of the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western road
thirty-five miles north of New London.
Trains Nos. 9 and IL, both way freights,
met while running at full speed on
sharp curve between Whitcomb and
Tigerton. A fireman and brakeman,
whose names cannot be learned. were
killed, and four others probably fatally
injured. John Ryan, the engineer, is
seriously injured internally and his legs
broken. Cars were piled in heap many
feet high. completely covering up the
demolished engines. No. had orders
to get to Whitcomb to allow No. IL to
pass, while the latter had similar orders
for Tigerton, two stations only four
miles apart, and with sharp curve
about half way between. On this the
illfated trains met. The dispatcher at
Eland Junction is thought to be re-
