He struck the town just at the right
time for his purpose Every necessary
Of life was at an exorbitantly high premi-
UNI, and Andrew Davis load sold at
profit that made him n comparatively rich
man. For instance, for whisky, then the
indispensable and about the only ''medi-
cine'' in hot demand, he charged 81 pint,
and the rest of his stores he sold in pro-
portion. He cleared several thousand dol
lars from his venture, and thenceforth
made himself independently wealthy. He
became the chief owner in two national
banks. He owned fifteen mines, and, in
word, had hand in nearly all the leading
enterprises of the territory.
Davis never married, although few ro-
mantle episodes of his life would seem to
indicate that he lived bachelor from
choice. He left an estate valued at from
100000 to So, 000, 900, and the legal battle
now on for its possession has brought out
charges of chicanery, children born out of
wedlock and barefaced fraud. In this
case the fend might be termed Unscru-
pulous Avarice.
Meanwhile, however, old man Davis
sleeps well. He doesn't need the cash he

long in San Quentin till he forged the so
called John McComb letters" which were
used in a contest before the California leg
islature-at least he swore that he had
forged them. though he afterward adj
mitted that he had been paid for making
the confession.
The official letters used to convey orders
to the deputy warden of San Quentin have
the address printed on them. and Bach
man, being man of skill and some pro-
fesslonal experience, occasionally had
charge of the mail. He soon formed a
ring with the other mail handlers. They
procured number of envelopes and were
thus able to open the official mail, read
and reseal it without detection. They
seemed in fair way to make a profitable
traffic in the secrets thus obtained when
Bachman tried too big a job and was
caught.
William Phelps, an old man who is
serving life sentence for murder, has
several hundred dollars on deposit in the
warden's hands. Bachman induced him to
employ lawyer, did the writing for him,
and encouraged him with the hope of get

check upon the warden with Phelps sig

proper official. The warden accepted both.

NEWARK, n. j., Dec. ia box to hold
handkerchiefs or laces is constructed en-
tirely of glass and ribbon. Procure two
pieces of glass 6 by 0 inches, two 215
by inches and two 90 by inches.
They will have to be cut to order. For the
rest, SIX and one-half yards of ribbon one
and one-eighth inches wide, enough thin
silk to loosely cover the bottom of the box.
and a little cotton wadding and sachet
powder are needed. Lay a piece of the
wadding, cut to fit, over one of the largest
glass pieces and glue it along the edges.
Sprinkle it with good sachet powder and
lay another piece of wadding over it. clu
ing it tightly to the first piece. Over all
arrange in loose folds piece of India silk
to match the color of the ribbon chosen.
catching it to the wadding with needle and
silk. Cut the ribbon in lengths to fold
over the edge of this piece of glass, turn
ing IN each end so that no raw edges shall
be left, and overhanding it firmly. The
ribbon can be glued over the edges of
glass, cotton and silk so as to hold all Sc
curely. Stretch ribbon in the same way
over all the pieces of glass, gluing it on,
and overhantling it at the ends II pos
slble have the pieces intended for the top
of the box handpainted in oils. If this
cannot be done Il pretty finish is obtained
by having large bow of ribbon reaching
from corner to corner of the top. When

Bloody Run trestle, near Cincinnati, the
other day. Miss Onken, who lives on
Ridgeway avenue, Avondale, was walking
on the track of thu Cincinnati, Lebanon
and Northern narrow gauge, and coming
to the trestle and hearing no train sup
posed she could easily pass over it.
She was half way over when a delayed
train came at full speed. The trestle is
there twenty feet or more above the rocky
bed of the creek. and Miss Onken dared not
risk jump. So she swung herself over
the side of the trestle and hung to the tim
bers with death grip. AS soon as they
could stop the train the engineer and con-
ductor ran back and lifted the lady from
her perilous position. She was almost
black in the face, her strength exhausted,
and she could not have held on half a min
ute longer. The place has bad reputa-
ton for accidents. Last July 4 an old
colored man was knocked off the trestle
and badly crushed, and three years ago
there was a collision between freight trains,

People will not take warning by the fate
of others, and guns will go of when ham
died carelessly. The latest resultant casu-
atty had for its victim Patrick Shea, an
unmarried laborer, 25 years of age who
lived at IS Fisher street. Toronto. He
fooled with an old musket, and finally ap-
piled lighted match to the nipple The
gun was loaded and at once went off, but
without shooting any one. The shock,
however, knocked Shea down, and when
picked up he was dead. DR.. Lynd was sum-
moned and pronounced death to have re-

died first the estate of course went finally

at least went to her, and he was worth half

The neighbors remembered many other
things. The mother has always ruled with
rod of iron, her children obeying her us
implicitly as when they were in short
clothes. The daughter did not want to
marry the rich old widower, as what II
year-old girl would? She not only re-
ceived much attention from young men,
but was engaged, the neighbors think, to
very nice young fellow.
Her mother, however, compelled her to
marry old Ivett, and in no long time she
became an invalid The case, say all the
neighbors, is plain-what could be palmer?
All parties went to work on this theory.

About this time an eastern cousin of the
dead senior member appeared, and began
to stir up things with the sharp stick of
inquiry. Jones was called on to tell what
he knew, and the more he told the less he

investigation he asked to be allowed till

Nearly beggared, those two upright gen.

JOHN WETT's TERRIBLE DEATH,
His Head Pounded to Pulp by an I'm
known Assassin

Ills Head rounded to a Pulp by an I'm
known Assassin.
All California is excited over the murder
of John Ivett, the wealthy rancher Of
MERGED county, and the subsequent devel-
opments which point to the guilt of his
wife's family. 1t is very singular and
altogether very horrible case, The corpse
was found in the morning at the door of
the dwelling, the head crushed almost to
pulp by the blows of hammer, and ap-
pearances indicated that the murderer had
come and gone on horseback.
By sort of common impulse the citi-
zens of that vicinity turned to the dead
mans brothers-in-law with a fierce de-
mand for their testimony These are
Jake and August Olsen, and the neighbors
almost to a man declared that Jane Olsen,
their mother, was the instigator. Mr..
1vett was nearly 40 years old and his wife
Sophie was but 20; yet his chances for life
had lately seemed as good rs hers, for she
had been for some time in poor health and
was in San Francisco for medical treat
