AIthea and What He Says-Charces

FRESNO, Cal, March 1.-THE letters
found in the Terry mansion Tuesday are
the one topic of conversation. One has
been made public in which the writer. who
says he was formerly sheriff of one of the
counties i'll the state two months before
Terry was killed, AYERS that he was offered
$4,000 by certain parties, whose names he
could not then reveal, to kill Judge Terry
He was assured immunity from the law.
The writer rejected the proposition and
was warned that if he disclosed the offer he
would be murdered.
Asked the Widow to See Him.
He WAS advised to leave the state at
once on pain of assassination In the let
ter was Enclosed $500 in United States bills.
The writer left the state and went to Du-
buque, Ia, where the letter is dated He
requested Mrs. Terry to come to Dubuque

Pamphlet on Justice Field.
Other letters are said to throw light on
peculiar phases of the Sharon case Among
other things was red-hot philippe from

Field which has never been published, and
several thousand copies of printed pam
phlets making grave charges against
Judge Field, entitled: Character and

1t also said that papers and memoranda
found show that Terry had accumulated
for years proof of immoral acts of men
who had antagonized him in public or pri-
vate life. Some OF these revelations are
said to be sensational, hut they will proba-
bly, never see light The search of the
house revealed that Sarah Althea had ex-
pensive tastes in dress, as fully 100 costumes
were found, and lace costing $50 a yard
had been used to clean lamp chimneys.

Five Murders Unearthed by the Police

Five Murders Unearthed by the Police
Is He Jack the Ripper"
1t was now waning toward evening and
the digging proceeded rapidly, for rumor
grew on rumor, and other recollections
suggested that there were more victims i'm
the sepulchre beneath the fireplace. The
next body unearthed was that of a girl
of l2 years. Unlike the former victims,
she had evidently been strangled, and it
was evident also that her death probably
antedated that of the lady and two chill
dren. The girls body was removed and
the search kept up. A baby about1 year
old and with its throat cut was reached
next Even the hardened policemen could
not restrain an exclamation of horror as
the tiny and shrunken body was lifted up
to view.
A Jack the Ripper" Theory.
No more discoveries have been made.
The news has caused almost frenzy in
Liverpool, and the multitude have rushed
to the conclusion that Williams must be
Jack the Ripper There is no known ev-
idence, however, TO sustain this theory, as
the victims were not mutilated otherwise
than stated above. At least such is the
statement of the police. The people in
Rainhill believe that the woman and two
children who disappeared upon visiting the
villa, and whose bodies wero undoubtedly
among those discovered, were a former
wife Of Williams and their two children.
Wanted to Get Rid of Them.
Williams, it is suggested, got them to
come to the villa for the purpose of getting
rid of them in order that they might not
be in the way of his marriage to Miss
Mather. This however, is oaly an impress
sion based on the circumstances. At the
time of the murder Of Miss Mather, the
wife with whom he went to Australia,
Williams and his wife were in Melbourne
and it is there that he is under arrest.

Nebraska.
O'NEILL, March I1-Tuesday night some
thirty or more men arrived here from
Sioux City over the Pacific Short Line.
Some retired to the hotels, the others re-
naming up all night. Early yesterday
morning they made a rush for the United
States land office and located and entered
homestead filings on sections Sc and l6, in
townships b, 50 and -, ranges :, 10, II,
Il, ID and II, in Boyd county. Ordinarily
sections IL and 30 of every township of gov
eminent land before being opened up to
settlement is reserved as school land, aud
it has been so regarded by the people gen
orally in the opening up of Boyd county;
consequently no applications had been
made to file on the above sections.
First Glass Land. Too.
1t now transpires that no provisions were
made for reservinG these sections as school
lands in opening up Boyd county, bt how
the people of Sioux City discovered this
fault remains a mystery. Thirty filings
were made ON as many quarter sections of
land by the parties referred to, covering in
all nearly 5000 acres of land. The men
who filed on the land are all connected in
some manner with the Pacific Short Line
and Sioux City and Northern railroads.

HEADED FOR WEST VIRGINIA
Col. william G. W. Jaeger, OF New York.
and L. j. f. Jaeger, of Arizona

-
The Washington Post of Friday says:
Col. William G. w. Jaeger, Of New
York, and Mr.. LIE. Jaeger, Of Yuma,
Ariz., registered at the National last
night. They are headed for West Vir-
ginia, where Col. Jaeger has an i'm
mense tract OF $50, 900 acres in Mellow
ell and other counties, rich in coal and
farming opportunities, which are to be
developed. His nephew, Mr.. Jaeger,o OF
Arizona, is cattle raiser and deputy
sheriff of Yuma county, where the
shrievalty is not always sinecure.
He is a young man, stoutly built,
with a jet black mustache, and con-
spicuous by reason big gray somebrero
not often seen in these parts. MIR.
Jaeger has the distinction OF being
son of the first settler OF Yuma. His
father was led to the Pacific coast from
Pennsylvania by the gold fever, fought
the Yuma Indians with Gen. Thomas,
and established a peace with them which
has never been broken. Last spriEg, it
will be remembered, he died in this city
while here prosecuting claim before
Congress.
Mr.. L. ]. F. Jaeger talks OF Arizona
with Western enthusiasm and thinks
it the garden spot Of creation.
II have really suffered more from the
heat since / have been North than l
ever did at home," he said. The story
OF the soldier who went TO Hades from
Yuma and had to come back for his
blankets is a SANDER. Our dry heat is
not SO uncomfortable as this climate.
The agricultural industries of Arizona
are making great advances. A big ir-
rigation company has started, with
headquarters at Yuma, and extensive
canals have been sunk, which make
farming safe and profitable. All along
the liue OF the Southern Pacific in the
ella Valley are grain fields and fruit.
Our fruit is six weeks earlier than that
of California and finds ready market.
With her already developed gold mines
AID cattle interests and fast growing
farming industry, Arizona is bound to
become a great country"
