FURTHER FACTS ABOUT MRS. PLATT'S
MURDER.

The San Jose Mercury of the 10Th
inst. contained the following item about
Mrs. Platt's murder:
Los ANGELES, Feb. 1.-two other
Indians have been arrested for compile
Ity in the murder of Mrs. Platt, the
Indian School teacher at Temecula.
Their names are Francisco Rodriguez
and Ventura Marido. The two men
were brought before Justice Nawter at
San Jacinto and arraign on a warrant
charging them with murder. Guavish
was also arraigned before the same
Justice and the examination set for
February 25th.
Last evening in the Jail at Riverside
one of the last two men arrested broke
down and made Il complete confession
to Sheriff johnson of Riverside and
Deputy Sheriff Martin Marsh of Los
Angeles. His story is to the effect that
on September 10, 1894, the three men
now under arrest, together with Mateo
Pa, went to the house Of Mrs. Platt and
demanded that she give them some
money.
In some manner they had learned
| that Mrs. Plat had that morning
received her salary from the Govern
ment. Mrs. Platt, however, deposited
all but $50 at Temecula. She informed
the quartet of this fact when they
called at her home, but they did not
believe her. That evening three of the
men returned to Mrs. Platt's house. In
some manner they got her to come to
| the door without waking the little niece
AS she opened the door Guavish is said
to have grabbed her about the throat,
| thereby preventing her from making
any cutlery. She WAS taken about $50
feet from the house and outraged by
the three fiends. AfterWard she was
murdered. Her body was then carried
back into the house, saturated with
coaloil and the torch applied. In
making the confession the young buck
stated that Mrs. Platt was strangled to
death by Guavish before being ravished.
He also stated that Mateo Pa was not
with them when they returned in the
evening, but that he knew of their
intentions and sanctioned them.

Nj. II. BARNUM'S LIBEL CASE.

Wausau Pilot-Revlew: The case of
the State of Wisconsin VS. NJ. H. Bar
mum, charged with libeling Ella Malley,
was heard in the Supreme Court at
Madison, on Wasbington's birthday.
The court took an adjournment Of ten
days and it is not certain that decision
will be handed down in the matter pre-
vIOus TO cOuVeniug.
Mr.. Barnum Is preparing for any
emergency and has arranged his bust
ness and family affairs so that nothing
will prevent his leaving at once to serve
his sentence if the decision of the lower
court is affirmed, which is six months i'll
the county Jail at RIchland Center, or a
fine Of $500 and costs, which would
bring the amount up to about 500. In
an interview with q reporter of the
PilOt-Review, Mr.. Barnum says that he
views the case in this light: That pay
ing the fine would be tantamount to ad-
hitting that he had done wrong: that he
firmly believes in the righteousness OF
his course and will submit to the i'm
prisonment if the court so orders, in
which event his family will accompany
him to Richlalid Center.

My DEAR SIR.-I send you copy OF
the ''San Antonio Express" 1t is a
democratic paper but advocates good
republican doctrine as you will see.
Am having very pleasant time.
Visited today the State University and
the great dam. The former like ours
is splendid institution. 1t was in the
beginning endowed by the State by
setting apart large tract of land Zone
section in every ten OF all government
land as I was informed by the President)
but the Legislature has disposed of a
great part Of this land, at least the most
valuable, and finally set apart large
tract of land but in that part of the
State where it is of little value.
The dam mentioned is constructed or
the Colorado river about - miles from
center of city. 1t is 400 it. long and
80 fl. high, makes 1900 H. P. at all
seasons Of the wear. Cost with the
power house, water works and electric
light plant about 81, 100000. Built of
solid masonery. Ii is a beautiful plant
and Will greatly promote other pros
perity of the city. City has about say
1000 Ii. P to rent.
Now why cannot Grand Rapids and
Centralia buy the power at the Rapids.
improve it, use what they need for
electric lights, water works and lease
the balance ard so use it as to bring up
the two cities. 1t would in the end cost
the tax payers nothing, that is 1t would
increase the value Of property more
than the amount of tax. I am sure
that the people would favor this scheme.
Is there no way in which it can legally
be carried out. Yours truly,

THE TANK COLLECTION.

Books OF tho Wisconsin Historical Col.
lection Roar ON Venezuela Matters.
MADISON, Wis, Jan. 2S.-The Tank
collection of books in the Dutch Ian.
guage, one of the rich possessions of the
State Historical society library, appears
destined to play considerable part in
the deliberations of the Venezuelan
commission. The Hon. Andrew D.
White, one of the commissioners, 4
short time ago wrote to President
Adams of the state university, asking
him to search the Tank collection fol
any historical works or aliases bearing
upon the boundaries of old Dutch
Guiana. An examination of the books
in this department reveals the presence
here of several which bear authoritative
contemporary testimony as to the ex'
tent of the Dutch claims in Guiana ia
which England succeeded in 1908. A
translator and draughtsman are now
busy extracting this information fol
the commission, and it is not impossible
that one or more members of the body
may visit Madison to examine the evi.
dence ON the spot.

United States Has q Right to Condemn
Gettysburg Property.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Justice Peck
ham, the new member Of the United
States supreme court, delivered his
first opinion in that court. The opinion
was in the case involving the right of
the government to condemn the real
estate of the Gettysburg Electric Rail-
way company as part of the national
park located on the Gettysburg battle
ground. The court below had decided
that the act of congress authorizing the
establishment of the park, in so far as
it applied to the condemnation of pri.
*ate property, was unconstitutional,
and that there was no right under it to
condemn. Justice Peckham's decision
reversed this, deciding the. law to be
valid and sustaining the condemnation
proceedings.
