MISS MURPHY'S ASSAILANT
Fifteen Year old Boy said to Have
Been the HOId-Cp.

Louis Jones, the young man who was
picked up by officer Butterfeld the other
night as a runaway, seems to have a
very vivid imagination or else be an ex-
pert on elongating the truth. The officers
are now positive that he is the crook who
assaulted Miss Lotue Murphy on First
street and grabbed her pocketbook in
broad daylight. He is a smart young fell
low and has an air of innocence about
him which leads many to think him
much abused boy. He claimed that his
mother lived in Iowa and that he had
been visiting with an aunt in Colorado
Springs and was on his way home when
put in jail for the night. He is now living
with officer Butterfeld. who has taken
quite a fancy to him.
Yesterday the following letter was re-
ceived by Chief Campben:

Dear Sir-AIy son, a young boy, went
off and left me, and am very sick and
want you to start him home. His name

stay with me and I need him here. Yours
truly. MARTHA JONES'

GETTING OUT OF DEBT
Amount of Mortgage Releases
for February,
EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLAR
Payment on SedgwiCk County
Indebtedness.

The total amount Of mortgage releases
in Sedgwick county for the month OF Feb
ruary up to last night is SIS, 1880. The
amounts have gone up to as high as
S13, 600 for one day, the lowest being some
thing more than S1,000.
Prior to February Il the particular sum
for each day was not kept, the lump for
the first ten days being taken in the total
and amounting to $4,000.
Since that the amounts have run as fol-
lows by each day, which viii give some
definite idea Of the extent and effective
ness of that wave which was predicted
and which came:
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-02-27

At this rate for the entire year Sedg-
wick county would get rid of nearly a
million dollars in mortgages. The amount
for the year following August /, 1897, will
probably not fall short of $500 900. The
pace set in February cannot be kept up
through the entire year. In April May
and June there is practically nothing
moving from the farm to bring in cash.
The amount of mortgages being re-
leased now IS almost three times as much
as the number Of new mortgages being
made.
The amount of new paper signed in
February did not exceed $26, 0O0 and a
great part of this was not in the nature
Of a legitimate loan business. Sedgwick
county is getting out of debt at the rate
of 100000 per year.

NO SERIOUS INJURIES
 BY THE TRAIN WRECK
Road Cleared Below Penryn Tester day, and Eastbound Overland
 No, Proceeded.

AUBURN, Sept 15-The railroad wreck below Penryn last night was cleared away this morning. The engines of the wrecked eastbound overland No were taken back to Sacramento, while new ones were attached and the train went on. Conductor McMaston, injured about the head, was relieved by Shorty" Leonard of No. 4 westbound as. they passed at Penryn. The two runaway fruitcars that caused the wreck are still lying the hillside with ice and fruit scattered everywhere. It is estimated that the runaways were going at the rate of seventy miles an hour, and had not the accident occurred just where it did, on a curve and steep grade, not car would have been left on the track.
 No serious injuries resulted. Engineer Newton and Conductor McMaston were badly bruised, and Express Messenger Willis ankle was sprained. Mrs. Mary Allen of Auburn was the only passenger hurt at all Engineer Newton had his arm broken in wreck occurring about the same place two years ago.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Sept. 15.-In order to meet any crisis in the boundary dispute between Argentina and Chile the Government has ordered that preparations be made to mobilize an army of 50,000 men.
 The Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs, however, has sent a circular to the diplomatic representatives abroad declaring that the alarming rumors in relation to the boundary troubles are without foundation. Argentina does not refuse to arbitrate the general question, he declares, but will not con- sent to the course except in the manner stipulated by the treaties now in force. Chile, however, insists on eliminating the words "Cordillera de Los Andes" from the first article of the treaty of 1881.
 If this concession should be made the article would mention only the famous diverti aquarium and would make it ac- cord with Chilean pretensions. This Government, however, is resolutely op- posed to such modification
 The attitude of the people is remark able for it's composure. There is no hostile manifestation of any kind against Chile. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, replying to an interpolation in the Chamber of Deputies, announced that he hopes for a pacific settlement of the trouble. He asked the chamber to maintain it's reserve during the deli cate negotiations The Minister of War declared that the country was prepared for any emergency

POSTAL SYSTEM SOON TO BE
 INSTITUTED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PEKING, Sept. 15.-An edict has been
 published extending postal operations throughout the empire and replacing the present system of Government cou- riers.
 inc frequent edicts introducing re- forms and cutting down expenditures prove that the Emperor's advisers are
 bent upon a policy which can only be the result of a complete change of opinion. Most of the Chinese and the
 old European residents look upon the
 change as being too sweeping and 1r- ritating to the official classes, but 1t IS evident the Emperor has decided to abolish many abuses, and his efforts are welcomed by all the enlightened
 Chinese, who, however, counsel moder- ation.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Minister
 Conger informs the Department Of
 State that the Emperor of China, by imperial decree, has sanctioned the opening of a national university at Pe-
 king, in connection with which schools are to be established in the provincial capitals, and educational institutions called the third class are to be opened in the department and district cities. GraQudIGS Ol LU6 SCHOOlS OI tllC liiii U class may enter the intermediate col leges and the university at Peking. It | is believed that the curriculum adopted by the Japanese University will be fol- | lowed.
 Another dispatch from Minister Con- ger would indicate that the Emperor of China has taken long stride in ad- vance in civilization by encouraging the newspapers of his emnire to publish a | truthful and full account of the
 daily events, and to be both bold and fearless in the discussion of current af- fairs. He has, by public proclamation,
 made the Chinese Daily Progress an 1 official organ, and has declared that
 articles which appear in Chinese news papers, though apparently displeasing | to him, shall not on that account be
 suppressed.
 | He has directed that important arti-
 cles of current events in the leading papers shall be marked and presented | to him promptly. He assigns in his
 proclamation the reason for this that
 he desires to extend his knowledge of
 affairs, both Chinese and foreign.

STOCKTON, Sept. 15.-Sheriff Cum ningham received a dispatch this morn ing from Sheriff Simmons of Randolph County, Ind, stating that he had ar rived at Sacramento with requisition papers from the Governor of Indiana for Charles H. Cadwallader, alias E. H. Wilber, charged with embedding funds of the Union City Bank of Indiana, of which concern he was treasurer.
 Wilber was arrested Saturday morn ing, the 10th inst, in the office of the California Navigation and Improve ment Company of Stockton, where he had been engaged in the capacity of clerk and ticket seller. Deputy Sher- ifs Black and Wall made the arrest.
 Wilber had been in the employ of the Navigation Companyfor several months and was regarded as an efficient man. When arrested he declared he would go back to Indiana without any requisition papers. as he said that he had done nothing for which he could be placed in the penitentiary. He begged that the matter be kept as quiet as possible, and as Sheriff Cunningham had no proof that the man was a criminal he acceded to the extent that he kept the fact of

EXPLODING TORPEDO
 SINKS THE FREEMAN
Naval Officers Narrowly Escape Death on the Experiment
 Schooner

NEW BEDFORD, Sept. 15.-During a test of Cunningham torpedoes in Prices Cove this morning the experiment schoon- CT Freeman was blown up by the explo- sion of a projectile and sunk. dozen men were on board of her at the time, but all escaped injury. In fact, only two or three. received slight scratches.
 Lieutenant Holman, of the survivors of the battleship Maine disaster. and Lieu tenants Oliver and Marshall, the board of survey from the Newport torpedo station. were on board the ship and had a miracu- lous escape. They were standing near the place at which the explosion occurred and were in the midst of the crash of wreckage which followed. The men were rescued by boat.
 The cause of the explosion is mystery, as two torpedoeS were fired without acci- dent yesterday and one this morning. The proiectile which caused the damage was fired under apparently the same condi- tfOnS.

HORSES SLAUGHTERED
 FOR THEIR HIDES
Carcasses of Seventy Animals Found on Madeline Plains-Work of
 Gang of Thieves.

BEDDING. Sept. 15.-Wade Williams, a cattleman of Likely, Modoc County, brings a report of the operations of a gang of outlaw hide-hunters who are killing stock on the Madeline plains. The carcasses of seventy horses have been found on the ranges The animals had been shot, skinned and relieved of their names and tails. The miscreants market their plum der by way of Reno, New, some of 1t being shipped to the East and the rest sold in San Francisco.
 MT. Williams stated that at Boot Lake twenty horses had been shot down and skinned. Stockmen and ranchers whose places border on this great cattle run fear that but a small portion of the dam age has been aScertained.
 The South Fork people propose taking the most stringent method to rid the Madeline plains of the offenders. The watering places are being patrolled by armed men. and if any hide-hunter should fall into their hands he will probably be treated with that short shrift accorded to horse thieves in pioneer days.
