MR.. SAUNDERS LETTER.

WALTER II. SAUNDERS, Esq. of Roam
oke. Va. wrote to the Richmond, Va.
D1spArcH, one OF the ablest Produe-
tions which has yet been published on
the Lunenburg Case. 1t appeared IN
the issue OF that journal of the 10th
inst.
The DIsPATCH intimates that 1t would
il it had any pretext for SO doing, re-
fuse him hearing but as he writes ov
or his own name, it does not yield to
its inclinations
IL comedies however that the accus-
ed women were entitled TO a change oi
venue. which means that the case
should have been tried elsewhere thar
in Lunenburg County
This is just what Messrs. WISE
FLouRNEY and GUIGoN have cOntended
They insist that the lives of innocen
people shall not be sacrificed in orde
to appease the fury of the mob
These women are innocent We pre-
pose to show not only that fact but t.
trace the matter with REASONABLE
degree of certainty 60 the point, wher
it can be shown who the guilty per
son is.
We are constantly having placed be
fore us gratifying evidences OF the II
herent spirit of fair-play in the whit

"HAND OUT THAT MONEY!"
The Demand Made OF Cashier Williams
Late Last Nilh
But He Did Not Hand It Dat He Presented .
Six-Shooter Instead and the
Robbcr Fled

: George Williams, cashier of the cable
power house at Seventh street and Grand
avenue. keeps six-shooter with him
when on duty at night. He keeps his
nerve on tap also. and ready for instant
use as occasion may demand.
An occasion arose last evening about
II so o'clock. for the use of both his pis-
tol and his nerve.
man wearing black mask approach-
ed the cashiers window on Grand avenue
at that time. leveled pistol at the cash
ier's head, and remarked very tersely, but
with good deal of cogency in his tones:
Hand out that money, or I'll blow
your brains out.
A man whose mental processes are less
rap d than those of Mr.. Williams would
probably have been staggered for the
moment by this unexpected request. And
this would have given the opportunity to
the masked man. probably. to make good
his intention of robbng the cable COM
pany of it's Sunday afternoon receipts.
But Mr.. william saw the point of the
strangers remark and realized the drift
of things in an instant. He realized. too
--one may realize an eternity of thoughts
in the smallest fraction of an instant i'm
aginable. if one is wide awake-that there
was need for instantaneous action.
Certainly" said Mr. Williams and he
reached his right hand into the cash
drawer as though his intentions were to
hand over the coveted Doodle.
This ready response on the part Of the
cashier somewhat disarmed the masked
man. so that when Mr.. Williams hand
came ont of the cash drawer with
cooked pistol in it which was directed
point blank at the black mask sticking
through the little window, the intelligence
behind the black mask was caught off
his guard as it were, by the unexpected
action.
"You got!' was now Mr.. Williams
terse rem ark.
The man got. His black mask faded
into the darkness of the night. unfor-
tunately before Mr.. Williams could give
the alarm and have him arrested.

SCHULTZ AN EMBEzZLER
The Suicide Stole Hundreds Of
Thousands
Exact Amount of the Shortage viii Not Be
Known for Some Tirie-How the
Steal Was Done

TACOMA, Wash, April 24.-Receiver
Cakes of the Northern Pacific said to-
night before leaving for the East that the
shortage in the accounts of the late Paul
Schulze would probably exceed 100000,
and may reach $250.000 Mr.. Cakes ex-
planned the methods of the dead land
agent, saying:
'As payments were made on land con-
tracts during tho last four or five years
the money was not always turned over to
the clerks. but was evidently kept by Mr..
Schulze and the holders of the contracts
were given receipts. The payments on
many of those contracts have all been
completed. but the books did not show it.
'"The holders became impatient for deeds.
Their mplaints few months ago were
our first intimaton of the wrongdoing.
Before we can know definitely how large
the shortage is we will have to have re-
turns from every one of the holders of
our land contracts. They will produce
their receipts for payments and these will
be compared with the books.
1.-The purchasers will not lose anything.
The entire loss must fall upon the COM
pany. When purchasers present the evil
dences of their full payments, whether
our books tally with them or not, deeds
will be issued and the contracts taken
up"
Mr. Cakes said he had positive inform
alton that Schulze had mbezzled funds
of the Yakima Investment Company.

dangered because he confirms the special
Armenian letter of the Associated Press
OF last Friday. The missionary says the
situation is serious and danger is immi-
nent. He says the Armenians intend to
hight for their liberty.
Speaking of LEM. the missionary says
he has reliable information that he was
killed last May at Koordali, on the
Alishgard plain near the famous pass of
Deli Babaka. The missionary talked
with man who saw LEM arrive at
katrakalessen on what the natives said
was two wheeled cart. Two days later
the man saw the dead body of the wheel
man at Zedikan. From the description
given, there is little doubt 1t was the
body of LEM. The missionary has Sc Mt

expects to be able to tell Just how LEM
met his DEATH
