A BLUEBEARD UP 70 DATE
pRoTEsTATIONs OF INNOCENCE
Charles ZanOIi, Suspected OF Kill
ing Four wives and Three other
Persons, for the Purpose OF OOi-
Iecting Insurance Money, Under
Arrest in New York.

New York. Dec l3.-Chas. Zanoll, who
is suspected of having killed four of his
wives and three other persons for the
purpose of collecting insurance money on
their lives, is still a prisoner at police
headquarters. He continues his protesta-
tions of innocence In his conversation
Zanoli expresses himself as being more
than ready to help the detectives toward
the solution of all doubtful questions and
Chief Detective McClusky acknowledges
that the prisoner had offered him assist
ance in clearing some of the details OF the
investigations which have cost so much
time and trouble The police have learn
ed that the young woman who has been
selected by Zunoli as his fifth wife just be-
fore his arrest on Tuesday last, is Bar
bara Hoffner, % years OF age, resident
of Brooklyn. She had answered an adver-
tisement of Zanoli under the name yof c.
Wagner Zanoli has smattering lfnOwl-
edge of medical things, which he gained
in his apprenticeship for the trade of bar
Der in Germany. He is able to pull teeth
and to perform the operation known IS
"cupping," and is familiar with the blister
raised after the cupping process. 1t is
possible, Chief McClusky thinks, that ne
may be possessed of the same general
knowledge of deadly drugs.
The police are now satisfied that Fan
oil did not make away with the child,
Lena Werna, daughter of one of the pris-
oOar'S load wives The oirl Is now in
Germany with her relatives. The body
of Jennie Schlessinger, the fourth wife,
will be exhumed tomorrow.

say that any man who condemns the Ed
monitor route does not base his remarks
on facts.

Unknown Man Assassinnted s. II
Mullen i'm an Amite City Hotel.

Amite City, La, Dec. l3.-Another as
sassination, the second in week, has been
added to the record for Tangipahoa par
ish Last evening in the full glare of the
hotel lights, S. b. Mullen, stranger, was
shot to death He was standing on the
hotel gallery and the assassin shot him
from behind. There were two shots fired.
one of which penetrated the brain. I'M
mediately large crowd gathered and
the greatest excitement prevailed. Sheriff
Edwards was notified and organized "a
posse. As soon as the moon rose blood
hounds took up the trail of the guilty
parties. Why Mullen was shot is as yet
IA mystery. He is an entire stranger here
and could hardly have had any connection
with any of the murGc9s hereabouts. Some
people are under the impression that the
man had enemies at his home, who fol.
lowed him here and murdered him. 9th
ers are of the opinion that the man was
a detective and had come here for the pur-
pose of working up some case.

Deming, n. NJ, Dec. l2.-An attempt
passenger train at STEMS pass, 80 miles
west of this place, at 8 o'clock Thursday
night, was foiled by the prompt action of
the armed guards in the express car, who
succeeded in killing one of the hold-ups.
Four men rode up to the station a short
time before the train was due, and after
robbing Agent st. John and Section Fore
man McMullen, cut the telegraph wires
and waited for the train. When the pas
senger pulled into the station one of the
bandits covered the engineer and fireman
with a Winchester while the others pre-
pared to attack the express car.
Express Guardes Thatcher and Jen-
nings, who were on board the car, at once
opened fire, and the leader of the robbers
fell with a bullet in his brain. His com
panions Immediately mounted their horses
and rode away. The body of the dead
robber was placed on the train, which pro-
ceeded to Tucson. The name of the dead
robber has been ascertained to be John
Sandy Collins. Collins until recently has
been employed as a cowboy in the San
Simon valley ranges in eastern Arizona,
and his companions instead of being the
"Black Jack" gang, as originally suppos-
ed, are now known to have been band
of cowboys organized for the single pur-
pose of the robbery which was attempted.

several feet of wash into the sulDhide ore,
which is solid down to about IA feet i'll

ed its width, but it has more or less gan
gued up. What ore there was in it was
solid, assaying from 81 to SIG, while the

all solid ore will be met with at greater
depth.

Another Proposition Pending. If Ac-
 ceptcd Work will Begin soon.

The waterworks question is not dead 1t has only been sleeping for three or four months waiting on one J. A. Jones of Los Angeles, Cal, who has been East trying to 'rus.le" bond so that he could take the contract to put in the system.
 The town council has exhibited a great deal of patience with this man Jones, and extended the time from week to week so that he could arrange to take the contract until they ascer- taiued it was impossible for him lo comply with the requirements and that it was waste of time to wait longer.
 Last Monday the council in regular session passed resolution which they had spread upon their minutes. declar- ing the deal of with Jones, aud order Ing the clerk to furnish him with copy of the resolution at once.
 The Mayor, J. w. Francis. is now in receipt of letter from the Phocniy Construction Company, wanting to know If the council would consider a proposition from lhis company to put in the waterworks, If So, to wire them which has been done and a representa- tive of the company is expected here every day to submit their proposition 10 the council.
 They stated Tn their letter that they could readily furnish a satisfactory bond and would go to work within ten days after ihe signing of the contract and would push the work to com pletion. sa't
 Theirs is business proposition, and the prospects for the system being put in is certainly brighter now than it has been for months, for this company is abundantly able to carry out any con tract that it may make with the coun- ell and is anxious 10 get the contract.
 If the council is successful in letting the contract 10 this company consid- erable work win be done in this month and before many months Flagstaff can boast of complete system of water works.

There are fads in medicine as in every lhing else and a "new thing frequently sells for a short time simply because it is new. But in medicine, as in nothing else, the people demand and will be satisfied only with positive, absolute merit.
