FOUND woorENs BODY.
Mysterious Disappearance of Wealthy
Ranchman Partially Cleared Up.

Mysterious Disappearance of Wealthy
Ranchman Partially Cleared Up.
SELMA, CAL, April 18.-A travelling
man who rode into Selma from Traver
reports that the body of William
Wooten, the missing rancher of Squaw
Valley, was found near Traver in hor-
rible state of mutilation. Old Wooten
was wealthy ranchero of Reedly,
Fresno county. He mysteriously disap-
peared several weeks ago. Soon after
wards it transpired that his 5000 acres
of valuable farm land had been decided
to Professor w. F. Saunders, a retired
educator, who was heretofore respected.
Saunders now claims to have purchased
the land through third party whom no
one here has ever seen, and who is
known only through Saunders story
and the appearance of his name on the
books of the registrar of deeds. The
missing man was last seen in the COM
pany of Saunders, who seems to be
strangely compromised by chain of
suspicious circumstances that his
neighbors are now clamoring for his
arrest on a charge of murder. The
finding Of the body, if the information
from Traver proves correct, will result
in decisive action by the authorities.

ON MIR. HILL'SROAD
Men at st. Cloud, Barnesville, Will.
mar and Breckenridge Join
the Strikers.
There Is Great Earnestness in the
Ranks, But No Disorder
Reported.
President Hill Says the Strike Was
Hasty and Unnecessary-The
Other Side.

ST. CLOUD, Mlnn., April 1S.-Ihe
strike went into effect here promptly at
midnight and men of all classes walked
out. The first train due to go out in
the morning was fast freight for the
west, but the yardmaster having lost
his switchmen, could not make up the
train and the engineer and fireman re-
fused to work with scabs. The next
due out was west bound way freight
at 6:15 which did not go out for the
same reason. The St. Cloud and
Hinckley accommodation, due to leave
at a. m., was laid off for want of en-
gineer, fireman and brakemen. The
early passenger from the west arrived
on time, having been made
up at Barnesville. Only a few
passengers were aboard. The Willmar
and st. Paul passenger train, going
east, arrived on time at S:15, although
agents along the line refused to handle
anything but express and mail.
Shortly after 10 a. m. a alocomotive, in
charge of Engineer Griswold and Fire
man Feaster, attached to baggage
and passenger car, pulled out of the
depot for Osseo and Minneapolis. It
should have left at a. m. Conductor
Barstow, with Road1naster J. Hurley
and Master Mechanic Buck, acted as
brakemen. No passengers, baggage or
express was taken. Strikers crowded
the track to see if the train got through
the yard, but no one offered to molest
it. The passenger train from St. Paul
arrived on time.
An attempt was made while standing
at the depot to cut the coaches, which
was ordered stopped by the president of
the local American Railway union, Fos-
ter, on account of a funeral party
aboard for the West. Strikers, as !:
rule, are much displeased to thinl
coaches were not side tracked here.
The following message was received
from Breckenridge by President L. D.
Foster:
"All solid. She stopped at midnight.
Willmar says the most enthusiastic
meeting ever held took place there.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing
your action at st. Cloud"
He also read messages from Butte,
Mon, st. Paul, Crookston and other
points of like nature. Passenger from
the west for St. Paul, due here at p.
m., will be allowed to proceed, but if
any other trains are sent out from either
way they will be sidetrackel here by
strikers. Everything orderly, but the
strikers mean to hold out.

ance of forage on hand and grass is

AuthOrities-Kelly COMPLAINS Of
Bad Faith.

OMAHA, April 1s.-Kelly's occidental
army of industrials is still encamped on

men and used him up badly, when he
picked up glass insulator and hurled
it at the conductor. striking him on the
forehead and fracturing his skull. The
brakemen were also badly handled.

IDLE CALIFORNIA MONEY.

Fifteen Millions In San Francisco Banks
For Which There L. No Use.
SAN Francisco, April 1S.-There is
SIS, 100000 lying idle in the San Fran
cisco commercial banks money for
which the bankers can find no use. This
is said to be the largest surplus that has
been known for many years and it is
still growing. The banks do not like it,
as they prefer to hold good interest
bearing securities instead of gold coin,
which does not pay rent for the vault it
occupies. This money is offered for
loan as low as per cent on first class
security, but all collateral is scrutinized
more closely than was the case year
ago, and unless it is gilt edged the
money is hardly loaned at any rate.

PAUL REvEREs RIDE.
Unique Celebration of the New sIassaohu-
setts Holiday.

unique CeAeDrRtlOn OF Che New hlaSsRChu.
setts Holiday.
Boston, April 18. "A unique celebra-
tion of the new holiday april 1Y) has
been arranged by the towns of Medford,
Arlington and Lexington, in the shape
of a reproduction of the ride of Paul
Revere. It will take place Wednesday
night, and will adhere as closely to his
torical accuracy as shall be consistent
with picturesque effect. A horseman
will ride from Medford to do his best to
arouse the inmates of every house on
the route. Inasmuch as Medford was
the first place at which Revere really
aroused anyone, it has been deemed advis-
able not to begin ride from Charleston.
This modern Paul Revere will there
fore start from a point just outside Of
Medford, and riding in will carry the
alarm to the old royal house where the
people will be waiting, all ready to be
aroused. From this point signals will
be given for the beginning of the cele-
bration. Along the route
Illuminations and Fireworks
will light up the road to Arlington
where Cooper's tavern will be alarmed,
statutes will be fred and the Medford
programme will be substantially repro
duced. From Arlington to Lexington
the road is for the most part lonely, and
there will probably be but little celebra-
ton, but in Lexington an enthusiastic
welcome has been promised the rider.
The ride will close at the old Hancock
house on the Bedford road, and as a
fitting end the scene Of 119 years ago
will be reproduced challenge, the
caution of the sentry and the rousing of
the house. a young lady of Lexington
will enact the part Of Dorothy Quincy
and there will be. probably a Hancock
and an Adams
