said, had committed many Outrages. The
police interfered here also and prevented
the crowd from carrying out their plan.

New York. Oct s-The mystery sur
rounding the identity of the mutilated
woman. portions of whose body We're
found in West Seventeenth street and

unsolyed. Several men and women have
positively Identified the dismembered por-
uons of the body, which are stin at the
morgue, but so far these identifications
have been Tithout results. and il is be-
heYed that the persons making the iden-
tihcation have been mistaken in the mat
ter.
DR.. Albert T. Weston. eoroaer's physi-
clan, is firmly convinced that the case
is repetition of the famous Whitechapel
murders of London. The body OF the
victim was mutiIated in identicaiy tire
same manner as were the unfortunates
IN the London crimes, certain organs be-
ing missing from the portions found, and
TINS. with other minor features leads Dr.
weston to arrive at this opinion. The
doctor said the lungs were rormal. but
that the victim had been afflicted with a
touch OF pleurisy.

A Mrs. Billings, janitress of a house on
West Fifteenth street found early FRI
day morning in an ash barrel under the
stoop of her house an object which she
thought at the time was piece Of meat,
out has since been believed to be a pOr-
ton OF human leg, as il cOrresponded
with the portion of the leg found Satur-
day morning on Seventeenth street. The
piece of flesh was wrapped in a morning
newspaper of October ;, a piece of an
Italian newspaper, and piece of manila
paper. The woman unwrapped the bun
Ole, and, taking the paper off. threw the
piece OF flesh back into the barrel and
saved the papers.
Search for the Barrel
The barrel was afterward carted to the
dump at the foot of West Sixteenth street,
and the police are now examining the ash
heaps endeavoring to find the piece of
flesh
Another clew is the discovery by the po-
lice of golden hair ten inches long In the
bundle found on West Seventeenth street.
Police Capt Price said to-day that he
thinks the mystery will be much more diff

Unless Relief Reaches Them Very
Quickly -Rumored Disaster
Near Richmond.

Dallas, Tex. July 6.-At IL a. m. to-
day, the following dispatch was re-
ceived from a lineman at Dewey, just
across the BraZos river from Sealey:
River has been falling slowly since 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Conditions
here are terrible. Everything in the
country is swept away. A large num-
bre of lives have been lost in the bot
toms. 1t looks like starvation for those
left. Situation not exaggerated. 1t will
be several days before line repairs can
be made with anything like system
Shortly after this dispatch, Deputy
Sheriff SWearingen, at Sealey, over the
long distance telephone, said: There is
no Improvement in this section of the
flood district; if anything, the situation
is growing worse. No relief boats have
yet reached here. Sealey and neighbor-
ing towns have about exhausted their
resources for relief. Another negro fam
lily was seen here drowning this morn
ing. Several lives have been lost since
last night, among refugees on mound
near old San Felipe. A number of ne
groes fell into the water from tree tops
from sheer exhaustion, after hanging
three days and nights.
"Rumor is current here of an awful
disaster near Richmond, below here, in
Fort Bend county. AS we are cut off
from there, all but the southern section,
but the situation naturally must be as
here, if not. worse"

THE FIRST YEAR
Alamogordo One Year Old--From a
Settlement Of Four Tents Has
Grown to a Model City.
GROWING BUSINESS CENTER
Factors Which Have Converted the Desert
Into Homes for Hundreds Of People
Destined to Greater Things-Town
Has Hundreds Of Houses.

Alamogorao has passed the first an
niversary OF its establishment. 1t is
somewhat difficult to name the exact
day on which the city was established
for the reason that campers occupied
the present site before there were any
permanent buildings, but the month OF
June, 1888, was the time when the mes
quite brush and jack rabbits began to
give way to the coming OF the future
metropolis of the southwest.
The first lot sold in the town was to
Thomas A. Frazer on June 7, 1898, and
the rest of the month sales of lots were
brisk. The first building erected was the
old Sacramento Chief office, which was
moved from La Luz in sections. This
was followed by the building now occu-
pied by the meat market Mr.. Frazer
putting it up. The third was the Wal
lace store house. Mr.. Wallace put down
The floor first, opened his stock of mer-
chandise and sold goods on it While the
carpenters were putting up the walls
and covering the inclosure. Then the
plain seemed to grow buildings, so rap
IDLY did they spring up, and tents and
covered wagons began to disappear.
During the latter part of July and Au-
gust operations were not so brisk, but
with the coming of cooler weather the
work was resumed and has not Jagged
since. Thus from four tents has grown
a modern city, inhabited by some of the
best and most enterprising people in the
world.
The building Of the sawmill, the june
ton of the Ell Paso & Northeastern and
the Sacramento Mountain railroads
here, the putting in of a complete sys-
tenn of water works and the erection of
business houses, gave the town an i'm
petus right from the first and the con-
struction of residences naturally fol-
lowed, giving steady employment to
large numbers of men. The secret of
success in making Alamogordo one of
the best towns in New Mexico before it
was year old is the absence Of petty
jealousy among the different business
men and the consequent working in
harmony to advance the general good
of the community.
The accomplishments of the past
twelvemonth cannot be understood un-
less the town is visited and the condi-
tions under which the work has been
prosecuted known, but a few of them
are: A sawmill with a capacity Of 100,-
900 feet Of lumber per day, and dupli-
cate of the plant almost completed; an
ice factory of capacity Of ten tons of
GOODNESS every twenty-four hours; an
electric light plant; planning mill,
equipped with the newest and most ap-
proved machinery; one of the best ho-
tells in the southwest; five general
stores, carrying large stocks of general
merchandise; two drug stores which
would be credit to any town in the
territory; one furniture store, one ex-
elusive hardware store and one hard
ware and plumbing establishment; one
jewelry store, carrying a complete as
sortment Of jewelry and musical goods:
