ance case, is not now Tor the young New
York commercial traveller, but for his
dead body. In the minds of his friends
and detectives practically no doubt re-
manned last night, that he has been
murdered. 1t has been discov-
cred that after leaving his room at
the hotel last Sunday night, Leach was
il a saloon known as the
Little Auditorium, and went out
the rear door which opens into
a dark, lonesome alley, landing along
side some of the toughest dives in Chica-
go. The identy of the mysterious woman
Edith, - who has figured in the case,
was established by the detectives yeeter-
day evening. She has a room in the
vicinity of the Little Auditorium saloon,
and acknowledges that she had a meet
ing with Leach Sunday afternoon, and
that she was to see him again at s D. m.
According to her story it was when he
did not come in the evening she sent the
notes which nave excited interest, and
that failing to get IN answer she called
personally at the hotel. She claims to
have known Leach for q long time, and
detectives so far have fonnd nothing to
throw disoredit upon her story to dis
prove her assertion that further than
what has been told she knows nothing of
the case.

The town of Sweetwater la twenty
business firms, four hotels and boarding
houses, four doctors, eight lawyers, five
ministers of the Gospel, n bank, one
newspaper and only one saloon.
Sweetwater needs and offers an invit-
ing field for a national bank of good
capital, a grocery house to do wholesale
and jobbing trade, a good hotel building
and a first-olass boot NJ shoemaker and
repairer. In fact, there is room for
more in almost any line of business or
profession. The county needs nothing
but more good farmers to buy the best B.,
or as good as the best, farming lands as
there are in the world for from 81 to
81 so per acre, time and terms of pay
ment to suit.
Fisher county, another splendid West
ern county, lays Immediately north of
Nolan, and the south line of which is
only foul miles north of Sweetwater.
This county has fully 5000 thrifty, stir

almost all of the trade of that county
also. Farmer, business man, banker,
capitalist, mechanic, fine stock raiser,
if you want a cheap home or opportunity
to invest advantageously, or want a
prosperous community in which to do
business, come to Nolan county or
SWeetwater now.
