rare and intense vigor that will at once
establish its brilliant character
In this ciEHruriug story Of Hi life, ffoTe ana

and her adventures and misfortunes will
enthrall every reader, and awaken a SYM
pathetic interest, while the marvellous net
work of plot and counterplot on which the

conclusion.
Many such stories have been attempted but
few deal with their theme with more dra-

stronger colors OF description and contrast.
The keenest insight into human nature is
given, and there is net one dull line from

THE PRoDreArs RETURN.

El.o Allen, the Embezxler, Captured In Chi
cago and Returned to Kansas City-His
Correspondence with Woman Leads to
His Discovery.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, May Cello
Allen, confidential clerk of the Austin
Investment Company, who left Kansas
City May IL with S23, 600 of his employ
morning, without the money and in
charge of Pinkerton detective.
He was arrested in Chicago Tuesday
night after days of hard work in fol-
lowing his trail. When Allen took a
train from. Kansas City on the evening
of Monday, May IL. he left no clew be-
hind him which could in any way
enable the detectives to determine
what route he had taken except a
well filed diary. Superintendent Ep-
pelsheimer, of the local Pinkerton
agency did not take charge of the hunt
until five days after Allen had left the
city. He was quite at sea as to where
to look for the embezzler, but during a
perusal of Aliens diary he found many
tender references to Miss Lulu
Probst, of Marquette, Mich, whom
Allen first met at Leon, Kan, several
years ago. He also found from the
diary that the embezzler had been car
rying on a correspondence with her and
he at once began the search for the
fugitive on the theory that Allen would
join the woman and with his ill-gotten
thousands they would fly to some more
congenial zone. Subsequent develop
ments showed that the superintendent
theory was incorrect, but Aliens refer
ences in his diary to Miss Probst were
directly responsible for his capture. A
detective was sent to Marquette, Mich,
and took quarters in the same house
where Miss Probst, who is school
teacher in that city, was boarding In
this way he learned that she was carry
ing on quite an extensive correspond
ence with ''Mr. Thompson" of Chicago.
1t took the detective some time to Sc
cure the address of this Mr.. Thompson,
but he was finally successful, and when
he did get it he lost no time in tele-
graphing it to the Pinkerton headquar-
tiers in Chicago. Detectives Swallowed
the address until they located Mr..
Thompson and Tuesday night arrested
him. He was none other than Elzo Al
len, the embezzler.

A vERlTABLE BENDER.

Williamson, the Sedalia Fiend, Proves to
BE q veritable Bender-The Body of His
Murdered Wife Found.
SEDALIA, Mo-, May 29.-When Thomas
Williamson, the farm hand, was arrest
ed for the double murder of Jefferson
and Charles Moore, it was limited that
he might have been guilty of wife MUIR
der also. This was confirmed yesterday
when the body of the murdered wife
was exhumed, and the mans innate
wickedness and thirst for human blood
made apparent
In August last Williamson and his
wife lived on farm six miles north
west of Sedalia on Muddy creek. The
house occupied by them consisted of
two parts connected by covered way.
The couple occupied one of these rooms
as bedroom, window in the south
overlooking small kitchen garden.
About that time the woman disappeared
and the neighbors asked the man where
she had gone. He replied that she had
gone on visit to relatives in Illinois.
She did not return at the date he said
she would, and he accounted for this by
saying that she had died while in
Illinois, and he being too poor in purse
to have her remains brought home or
even to attend the funeral consented
that she be buried there.
After Williamson left the farm it was
occupied by man named Dan Clossier.
Williamson was there one day and pass
ing near the south window in his old
sleeping room pointed to a certain spot
about six feet from the house and told
Clossier not to dig there, as he had par
snip seed sown and would not like to
have them disturbed.
Yesterday morning Clossier and a
neighbor began search about the prem
ises and, recalling the parsnip incident,
he dug there first But few shovels
full of dirt had been removed when the
body of the unfortunate woman was
found. About six feet from the window
above referred to hole some two feet
in diameter and less than three feet
deep had been dug. Into this the body
had been crowded. occupying almost a
sitting position, with the knees drawn
up to the chin. The face was turned to
the west and there was less than foot
of earth over the head.

probably fatally wounded through the
breast. A Mexican named Demetrio
Ballegos was shot in one of his legs.

the deputy and would have shot, when
two women jumped in front of him, inn
ploring him to desist. He was arrested,
taken to Los Lunas and chained to the
