FOUND CREEDE'S WILL.
His Widows Chance For Ducats
Gone Glimmering.

OOAS GlmIQSrln9.
Los Angeles, Cal. July 2O-The at
torneys for Nicholas c. Creede. the de-
ceased Colorado millionaire have IN
earthed deed signed by Mrs. Louisa
Creole, which would seem TO preclude
the possibility of the widow making a
successful contest for any part of the
Creole estate.
The document, which is entirely sep
arate from the famous agreement of
jan 4, bears date of Jan. ,, 1897, and
IS a properly executed and recorded
deed of bargain and sale. by which
Louisa Creole, for the consideration of
S20, 900, conveys to Nicholas Creole her
interest in all property. both real and
personal, and mixed of every value and
description, and wheresoever situated
as well as all property owned by
Creole at the time of the execution &C
the deed, as well as any that might
afterwards be acquired by him from
any source whatsoever.
This deed was signed and sworn to
before q notary public of this city and
is so shaped that it protects every dol
lar of Creede's property from any
claim advanced by Mrs Creole
Creede's Will was discovered today and
win be filed for probate on Friday.
From all accounts Mrs. Creede's at
tOrneys have not been informed by
her of the existence of this deed.
By this will the bulk of the prop
erty is left 10 little Dorothy Walker
Creede. The estate is valued at about
S250.00O, and $780, is divided into sew
eral legacies to Creede's relatives and
friends.
William H Phifer is appointed
guardian for the child Dorothy and is
named as one Of the executors of the
VIII. the other being John T. Jones.
Both are without bonds. Mrs.
Creole is not mentioned in the will.

MINERS MAssING.
Debs Was Eloquent.

Fairmont, w. Va, July 2O.-Fffty
miners heard Eugene V. Debs speak at
Riversville tonight, but only few of
them came from the MOntant, the most
important mine in the region. except
ing the Afonongan. Debs' speech was
the same eloquent appeal to the MEN TO
lay down their picks and throw their
fortunes with their striking brethren
HIS words were received very enthuSi-
ast.cally and the miners present seemed
deeply interested. No attempt was
made to organize the men as Debs
thought there were not enough miners
present. Every effort was used to keep
the men away, and many spoilers were
employed. Tonight at Monongah the
newly organized union held their sec
ond meeting for today and 10 new mem
bers Joined, making 239 in all The new
members are men who were employed
today. Operators here are jubilant and
the great strike as far as West Virginia
is concerned is a failure.
