VALUABLE SILVER FIND.
A Big Rush Upon the Town of Creede, Col
 orado.

CREEDE, Col, Jan. 29.-Much excitement has been caused here by the finding in the "Jack Pot' claim of ore bearing 220 ounces of silver to the ton. There is great rush for the location.
 The population of Creede two weeks ago was 2000. To-day it is $500, and two trains day are swelling the number. There are a few houses in the place and seventy five cents is the price charged to se- cure place on a barroom floor to sleep and furnish your blankets.
 Side-tracks are filled with Pullman sleepers and the struggle for berths is a daily occurrence. Lumber is twenty-two cents a foot. It is expected that the population of the town will reach 15,000 by May 1,

YOUNG GIRLS FATE
Decoyed Into a House by Two Young Men
 at Detroit, Mich.
MURDERED BY THE VILLAINS
The Body Thrown Through the lee in the River and the Wanderers Escape without Leaving
 Clew.


 DETRorT, MICH, Jan. 29.--Rosa Barowitch, n pretty 13-year-old girl, left home last Friday evening, dressed only in a light calico gown, and with no hat. Since then her parents have seen nothing of her, and vigorous search of the police failed to reveal her whereabouts.
 A young friend of the girl tells a strange story that adds much to the mystery surrounding the affair. She says on the night that Rosa left home she saw the missing girl enter house nesss ne..sz ri5h two young n.e.. Later the same night the three were seen to take carriage and drive toward the river.
 In the search of the house, which had been rented and partly fur nished by two young men for two weeks, were found shreds of the girls dress. On the floor was found several clots of blood.
 The young men have not returned to their quarters since last Friday, and search of the city fails to re- veal their presence here. It is be- lieved that they decoyed the girl into their quarters, maltreated and murdered her, and then threw the body through the ice in the river.
 The police are bending every energy to unrayel the mystery, but have met with small success thus far.

 A stout old msi1 in a gray ulster hailed Fourth avenue car zt Worth street the other day. One hand was occupied with rather impetuous bulldog on a chain and the other waved baggy umbrella. When the ear stopped the man hauled the bull dog up to the rear platform and said to the conductor ::
 "Take dorg on your car'"
 "No.u
 Me and John William has got to get up town"
 "Can't help it; watkins good.
 "Let me ride on the platform and hitch John William onto the brake. 7
 The conductor agreed to this, and John William trotted placidly along up the Bowery without mishap, be- yond upsetting two newsboys. Somehow nobody wanted to get off the car on John Williams side, and people on the crossing waiting for the car to pass kindly gave John William all the room he wanted. At Seventeeth street, however, there was a crosstown car in waiting, and the driver, intent on the hairbreadth escape of the rear platform which a crosstown driver loves to make, reckoned without John William, who was pattering calmly along oe- side the step.
 "Hey, hey, hold on,'' called the old man on the platform, excitedly. But it was too late; there wasn't room between the crosstown horse and the platform of the Fourth avenue car for even the alert John William to pass, and 1t seemed as if the dog must be inevitably crushed. John William, however, regarded it otherwise. He seemed to know that his only chance lay in breaking the chain. So by a quick bound to the farthest side of the crosstown horse he brought the whole strain upon the chain across the horse s chest, and snapping his bonds like a string he trotted calmly up Fourth avenue after his master.
 "Well, now, ain't he a dogfo eiaculated the conductor admiringly
 "There ain't his beat in New York, " responded his owner, proud ly. "Of course, there's other dogs here and there," he added as great concession, "but they simply ain't in 1t with John William. l wouldn't t take $75 cash for that dog"
 Reckon he's worth it," said the conductor.
 There was another man on the platform. He looked John William over critically in silence, and two blocks further on said:
 "I'll give you $10 for your dog"
 "Mean itf" asked John William s owner, anxiously.
 Certainly"
 "Cash no bluff. /"
 "Of course. :"
 "Gosh! He's your dog. '-New York Tribune.

4 Little Flaw Nearly Made Big Rumpus
 over the VIII.
 Commodore Vanderbilt spent the last days of his life in a great big 3Id 5l ho-tI house that stool iiiil that aristo cratic portion of New York city, Washington Square, and he had married for a second wife sweet young woman of the South. He was anxious to write will over which there could be no disagreeing when he should have passed away. When the will was completed it was submitted to several brilliant and high priced legal lights, among whom was William M. Evarts, and they all, for fees of $10,000, or thereabouts, pronounced the docu- ment unimpugnable.
 But the will remained a subject of uneasiness to the commodore, and one day he was told of a young lawyer who had been in the office of the Register of Wills for some years and who was something of an expert in the matter of wills. "Send him copy of mine and a small fee rn It was done. And the young man in going over the paper found flaw, and reported 1t. The discovery was referred to the legal lights before mentioned, and they all agreed that the point was well taken. The breach was healed, and there was no legal controversy over the Vanderbilt millions Washington Post.
