Crawford avalanche., 1895-08-08

it was that the evidence of the attor-
neys on the other side was brought for
ward. Don Miguel was shown never
to have even existed while the famous
Peralta land grant was proved to be a
myth. Moreover, Reavis' wife, the
heir of Don Miguel, was shown to be
not a noble Spanish lady who
could trace her ancestry for 700 years
through the proudest blood of Spain,
but the daughter Of n Missouri post
trader and a Digger Indian squaw.
Reavis, it was revealed, was originally
a car driver who, ambitious above such
a station, had invented the whole
scheme.
The end was inevitable. Reavis
was accused Of fraud and conspiracy.
and now lies in jail at Santa Fe under
bonds Of $4,000. He is an old man
now; the best years of his life were
given to rearing the fabric of fraud,
and now, as he lies there, friendless
and alone. wanting even the necessi-
ties of life, his career speaks more
plainly than any sermon of the fulfil
ity Of ambition when founded on fraud
and wrong,

Run Into by Barge While Aground
at eault Ste Marie.
Word was received at Chicago from
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, that while the
steamer Alva, bound down with iron ore,
was aground below the dyke Thursday
morning, she was run into and sunk by
the whaleback barge Hundred and Seven
teen, in tow Of the steamer E. M. Peck,
bound down with iron ore. The whale
back took a sheer when near the Alva,
which caused the collision. Her nose
punched hole in the Alva at the engine
room .gangway, three feet below the main
deck, filling the engine-room with water.
Steam pumps will be put on board, after
temporary repairs have been made, so
that she can proceed on her way to Chi
cago. The whaleback barge is badly dam
aged in the stem and her ballast tank
forward is full of water, but as she can
free herself with her own pumps she is
still aHoat. The Alva's stern is on the
bottom, and the bow is in four, fathoms
of water.

FURY OF A MOB.
Enraged Italians Shoot Down Many
Negro Miners.

Enraged Italians Shoot Down Many
Negro Miners.
Fourteen negro miners fell victims to
the fury of an Italian mob ut Spring Val
ley, ILL.,, Sunday. Three probably will
die, and the result of the wounds of many
others is doubtful. Fully 1000 Italian
miners armed with all sorts of weapons
and preceded by band of music marched
on No. 3 location, where a colony of negro
miners and their families are domiciled.
The mob was bent on revenging one of
their countrymen, who had been killed in
an alteration with some negroes. The
negro colony was completely misled as to
the intentions of the mob on account of
the band, and some of them flocked to see
the supposed parade. They fell easy and
defenseless victims to the fury of the
crowd. 1t was an attempted massacre,
and in the anger of the foreigners no dis
elimination as to age or sex was made.
The feeling of hatred which has existed
toward the negroes ever since their i'm
portation during the strike a year ago was
given fierce vent, and 1t was with the
ferocity of long-restrained malice that the
mob leaped to its work. That dozens
were not killed seems almost miraculous.

Only Way Ont Of It.

Major Heap, of the United States
Engineers, was in charge. under the
late General Newton, of the govern
ment exhibit at the Centennial. One
day crank entered the office demand
ing to see General Newton. The ma
jor extracted from the crank that he
had a new invention that could de-
stroy any army upon which it was
worked. 'It is the most powerful ex-
plosive the world ever saw, and pro-
pose to send up balloon over the
army that is to attack ours, setting
the fuse so 1t would go off the moment
the balloon fioated over the army Of
the enemy" THAT is all very good"
said Major Heap, but suppose that
a current Of air should carry your ex-
plosive balloon over our army-what
then?" "Well," said the crank, laying
his hand on the majors arm, II tell
you what It Is, my friend, our army
would have to get up and run like -"

Here Is an Artist.

From a small town comes a story
which shows what strides the art of
barn storming has taken since mana
gers OF great renown have condescend-
ed to apply their massive brains to 1t.
1t was the gentle advance agent who
was waited into town one day in early
spring. To the landlord Of boarding
house he hied him, and after he had
secured a room, like prudent man he
set about at once to find the means to
pay for it. Business was dull with
the landlady, and she lent a ready ear
to the honeyed song of the theatrical
man. This was the song that he gave
her: If she would sell twenty seats for
the forthcoming performance Of ''The
Husband" he would stay at her house
and bring unto her four actors Of his
company when 1t got to town. He and
they were to pay 81 a day apiece in
current coin. The landlady looked out
at the budding trees and the blue sky,
the robins call was blent with the
voice Of the tempter, and she consent
ed. She bought the twenty tickets
81 each-made her other boarders buy
them and took In and boarded four
actors with abnormal appetites and the
manager for three days, for which she
received $15. 1t will be seen the astute
manager made So and got board and
lodging free for himself and four actors.
Is 1t any wonder that with geniuses
like this to carry out his plans it pays
a manager to examine the map with a
microscope that he may find hamlets
and villages to bless with his Nos. 10,
II and 13 companies?

The infant son Of the Prince of Bull
garia, now year old, has, in honor of
his first birthday, received his promo
ton from the rank of lieutenant colo
mel to that Of colonel commandant of
the Fourth Regiment of Hussars. He
is one Of about hundred colonels who

house of Russia receiving a patent of
colonel at his baptism, while German
princes Of the blood receive their first

J. A. REAvIs. ceded by tn e
court Of Spain century ago to Don
Miguel de Peralta de la Cordova. This
land had afterward passed into the
power Of the United States which had
never paid the heirs Of Don Miguel
anything and Reavis wanted Congress
to settle. The land In question is ex-
ceedingly rich In minerals and on it is
located some very important towns.
A cash estimate Of its value would
make 1t worth $75,OOO,OOO, and this
sum, in ten years, would be easily dou-
bled. For twenty-five years Reavis
labored to build up the claim. He went
to Mexico and Spain and in his inves-
legations spent at least $50O,OOO. He
forged grants, titles and royal cedulas;
he manufactured parchments, royal
signatures and seals, he made spurious
decorations and orders, all of which
went to the establishment Of Don Mig
uel de Peralta as the man to whom
Spanish royalty had granted the land
in question.
While engaged In his work Reavis
went to New York and there interest
ed some Of the greatest legal lights in
the country in his scheme. Among
these was the late Roscoe Conkling.
COL Ingersoll was another who believ-
ed thoroughly in Reavis' claim. On the
strength Of these legal opinions Rea-
Wis managed to raise large sums of
money In New York from prominent
men who were promised share in
the land when Congress should have
granted the claim. Reavis began to
live like prince. He stayed at the
Hoffman House where he ran up bill
Of $4,000; he spent large sums for fast
horses and he entertained his friends
in truly royal style. During the time
he married and maintained his wife
was the lineal descendant of Peralta
and thereby strengthened his claims to
the land in question.
Reavis was unable to get his claim
before Congress, but he succeeded in
having law passed creating the Court
Of Private Land Claims to investigate
the alleged grants. Two clever New
York lawyers at once set about prob
ing the truth Of the Reavis claim. At
first they believed there was some
thing at the bottom of 1t since all the
