EVERY PAPER FORGED
PERALTA LAND GRANT CASE
THROWN OUT OF COURT.
Reavis, the Claimant, Arrested for
Fraud on Instructions from the
Department of Justice.

SANTA Fe, n. NJ, June 25-The great
Peralta land grant, situated in Arizona and
New Mexico, and covering II, ,465 900 acres of
land, which has been on trial for three
weeks, was decided to-day i'm favor of the
government. The claimant was in court
appearing cool and collected. The court
held every title paper to be forged and
manufactured, and that the mission records
of San Salvador, Cal, were forged TO en-
able the wife of the claimant to connect
herself with a Peralta family. Chief JUS
tice Reed announced il was not necessary
TO determine who Mrs. Peralta Reavis was.
but it was sufficient to hold that she was
an heir Of the alleged grant, and not en-
titled to maintain the suit. The written
opinion will be filed by the Chief Justice
as soon as ii can be prepared.
Upon advisement, Reavis was arrested by
the United States marshal for asserting
false claims against the government upon
.complaint made by United States At
torney Reynolds under instructions
given by Attorney-general Olney, given be-
fore he left the Department OF Justice
United States Attorney Reynolds and his
associate, Mallet Provost, are being show
cred with congratulations from all over
Arizona. This practically ends the most stu
rendous fraud ever attempted in this coun-
try and successfully carried on for a quar-
ter OF a century.

A PUZZLE TO DOCTORS.
Curious Case of Alice Mitchell, Who
Loved and Killed Frcda Ward.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 25.-In June 1892
Alice Mitchell was adjudged insane and was
conveyed from this city to Bolivar. eighty
miles away. and confined in the West Ten
nessee Asylum for the Insane. There was
no doubt Of her insanity at the time. and
just before being taken from this city she
was conveyed to Elmwood Cemetery, where
she scattered flowers over the grave of
Freda Ward, whose throat she had cut a
few months previous.
AT the asylum at Bolivar Alice Mitchell
is made TO enjoy all the comforts that the
officers can bestow upon her. Her case
however, is a great puzzle to the two resi-
dent physicians-Drs. Douglass and Nicely
The latter is a close student OF psychology.
He has seen Alice Mitchell daily for three
years, and has closely studied her case; yet
to him the motives that prompted her TO take
the life of Freda Ward have not been re-
duced TO a philosophic certainty.
1t has always been stated that Alice
Mitchell was not fond of the society of men,
and that she always reQelled the attentions
of the stronger sex, and, being strong her
self, lavished her attentions on young girls
and proved 1T by saying that she killed
Freda Ward because she loved her. on
several occasions, however, at Bolivar, she
showed a great fondness for young men.
With one in particular love seemed to
ripen between the two and lasted for sew
eral months. After a time her lover sick
ened and died. The news of his death was a
terrible blow to her, but she received ii with
no outward demonstration, but with the
calm dignity characteristic of any young
woman. She became melancholy, lost flesh
and was in bad way generally for some
time. In the course of several weeks time
healed the wounds death had inflicted and
she became herself again. Soon after she
began to look with favor ON one of the 9TH
er male attendants OF the institution. But
her affections were not returned.
Her affections at Bolivar, however are
not wholly confined to men alone. n young
woman about her own age was sent to Boli-
var from Memphis. She pleased Alice.
Their tastes were similar, and they became
boon companions. In due time they were
separated. Soon after something turned up
that made Alices regard turn to dislike.
The two young girls then cordially hated
each other. From that time the superin-
contact.
She is very fond of keeping her room
tastefully arranged, and takes a great in
terest In sports. 1t is three years since she
was confined in Bolivar. and now. just bud
ding into womanly attractivenesS, almost
beautiful, this strange woman defieS med-
cal skill in its effort to define the exact type
OF her mental malady. She has intelligence
sufficient 10 realize that she is cut away
from the world; to know that her cond-
ton makes her an outcast from society;
her; and yet. she gives by no word of
mouth any evidence of regret that her lines
are not cast amid other scenes. Without
hope yet with a certain power of reason
left Alice Mitchell lives her life without
exhibiting any feeling of discomfort.

DEMOCRATS TO MEET
CONFERENCE CALLED BY SENATORS
HARRIS, JONES AND TURPIE.
First Step in the Organization of
Democrats To Battle for Free Coin
age Within Party Lines.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 25.-Immediately
after the adjournment of the recent silver
convention in this city a meeting of promi-
nent Democrats who attended that gather
ing was held and plans were outlined for
an organization OF free silver men within
the Democratic party for the purpose of
carrying on the silver campaign within
party lines. AS a result of this meeting
the following address has been sent to
Democratic leaders throughout the coun-
try:
Soon after the adjournment of the silver
convention held in this city on the 18th and
18th inst. many Democrats representing
several States of the Union held a meeting
here for the purpose of considering the
best method Of securing the free and un-
limited coinage of both silver and gold into
full legal-tender money of ultimate redemp-
ton, at the ratio OF 10 to /, without regard
to the financial policy Of other countries.
and it was unanimously agreed as the
conndent opinion of that conference:
t1rst-That the only hope of securing
the Tree and unlimited coinage of silver at
IA 10 l is through the action of the Dem
''Second-That large majority of the
democratic party of the country and a
very large majority of the people of the
United States irrespective Of party, favor
such coinage.
Demo-
cratic party in the campaign of 1896 largely
II not wholly, depends on the earnest and
active advocacy of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Fourth-That a thorough organization of
the Democrats of the several States who
favor the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold on terms of equality
at 10 to l, is necessary and proper means
OF controlling the action OF the national
Democratic convention of 1896 upon this
vitality important question.
Fifth-That in order TO avoid friction and
the complaint Of such Democrats as oppose
the free coinage of silver, we will not in
woke the action of the regular machinery
of the party whose duty Ii is TO act for
the whole party without regard to differ
ences of opinion upon single question.
Therefore, We, the undersigned, were
appointed a committee to take such steps
as may be necessary to a thorough ma
tional organization of silver Democrats, and
for that purpose We respectfully invite you
TO meet us at Washington. d. c., on the
fourteenth day OF August, 1895, in order
that We may confer and cooperate in es-
tablishing such organization, and you are
also requested TO bring with you such DEM
ocratic friends are in full sympathy
with this purpose. 1t is important that
some Democrats acceptable 10 the Democ-
racy of your State, and willing to represent
il on national executive committee, should
attend this conference. An early answer
addressed TO Hon. Casey Young, Memphis,
Tenn. will greatly oblige.

III rs Now Probable n Monetary Con-
ference VIII BE Held.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-There is ap-
parently. considerable confusion as to the
prospects OF an international conference 10
consider the rehabilitation of silver to be
called on the initiative of Germany This
Is due TO the conflicting reports that have
been received and also apparently to the
complications of the question as it pre-
sents itself in Germany Those who have
given attention to the progress of the agi-
tation in Germany say that Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe announced ii at the begin
ming that Germany's action in the mat
Ter would depend on two circumstances.
The first of these was that the German
state legislative bodies should instruct for
the issuance OF the call, and, second, that
there should be substantial agreement
among the powers to the terms of the
call. The latest report makes it appear
that a majority of the federal governments
want the conference and desire that Ger
many should issue the call for ii. 1t is
derstood now that, accepting this action
on the part of the different states in the
light Of an instruction, the Chancellor will
proceed TO negotiate with the other Eu
ropean powers as TO the terms of the call.
The United States has made known its

lative branch of the government can act
In the resolution appointing congressional

made that the United States should be rep
resented only in case the conference should
be called to provide for a restoration of
bimetallism. When the question was be-
fore the Prussian Diet an effort was made
by Chancellor Hohenlohe to amend the res
olution so as to leave out the requirement
that the call should be on these lines, but
ii failed. If the other federal German
states have taken the same position as
prussia the Chancellor. it is held. will be
virtually pledged TO vote Germany for

lie system. IL then remains to be deter
mined whether the other powers Will ac-

A STORMY CONVENTION.
Long Wait for the Report of the Com

LOUISVILLE, June 25.-The administra-
ton and Secretary Carlisle were certainly
fayorites in the Democratic state conven-
ton here to-day. The silverites went into
the district meetings in the morning and
into the convention at noon with conf
dence. In the district meetings they were
beaten to 1. They claimed four out of
the eleven district members of the commit
tee on resolutions, but the administration
men claim shat the committee stood to
originally against free silver, and, as
completed. to T. The complexion of this
committee could not have been changed by
the anpointment of both members at large
from, the silyerites But when Judge ". VI.
Reckner. as temporary chairman, divided
the members at large. giving one OF the
two IN each side the silver men felt that
they had been outclassed. although they
u-ould rot confess TO being outnumbered.
They claimed victory in the election of
Reckner over stone, but after the former
divided the appointments equally on all
the committees and announced his con-
servatiye views no claims were made on
him. Stone would. have appointed only
"sound money" men on the committees.

BOWLDER OF SILVER.
1t Weight About Half Ton and Is
Worth Somewhere Near $4,000.

HACKBERRY, a. T., June 25-From
Peach Springs comes the story Of the find
ing of a nugget. or bowlder rather. of pure
silver, such as there has been no record
of in the history of mining in the West.
The bowlder weighed about half ton,
and it is valued anywhere from $500 TO
$4,000. 1t was found by William Tucker
and John Doyle. both prospectors. and they
have kept the facts to themselves hereto
FORE because Of the chance that there was
more silver where this lump came from.
and they desired to get the best location
for themselves before letting the rest of
the world into the secret.
