A SENSATIONAL
MURDER CASE

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. IA sensational
murder case has developed in Lewis
county. The charred remain of Rancher
w. w. Faddaugh We're found in the
ruins of his home, eight miles from Che
halls. He had gone to sleepe the night
previous in his cedar cabin. During the
night the cabin was burned and Fad
daugh apparently persisted with it. The
officers sent to investigate the matter
found the trunk of the dead mans body
in the ashes of his cabin, but the head
and limbs were missing, having been
completely severed. There were evil
dences of violence on the part of the body
found. William Taylor, a young man
living near by, has been arrested on sus-
picion. The dead man recently came
from Missouri and was reported to have
had a large sun of money at the time of
the tragedy.

MAY BE STOCK
GAMBLING SCHEM NE

Denver, Col, Jan. 31.-The recent dis
covery of wonderfully rich ore IN the
property of the Cripple Greek district has
created considerable excitement, the
greatest for many years. The stock OF
the company, which was quoted at %
cents six weeks ago, sold yesterday on
the exchange for $3.50, having jumped 80
cents in two days. No signs of reaction
were apparent when the exchange opened
this morning. There were many buyers,
but offerings were too heavy for them and
the price gradually sunk to $1.49@$1.o0 at
the close of the first call. When the sec
ond call opened there was a further de-
and the panic continued, the last
sales being at 81. 29h@1.3 80. The sales to-
day were 121, 600 shares. Tonight there is
great diversity of opinion as to the action
of the stock tomorrow, many declaring
that the bear movement a don its
worst and it is expected that the next
upward turn would carry the stock to 81.
The company is capitalized at $3.50, 900.
The excitement on change, which has
been entirely due to the Isabella strike,
has been largely confined to that stock,
though several other gold stocks have
been influenced sympathetically.. The
fluctuations we're for the most part with
in narrow limits.

GENERAL MILES
SAYS 1T IS TRUE

New York, Jan. S1.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles was asked by an Evening World
reporter today What he had done regard
ing the offer of Col. A. A. Pope of Boston
to give 81, 900 for proof that chemicals
were used to 'embalm" beef furnished the
United States in the war with Spain. Il
have told Col. Pope" was Gen. Miles re-
ply, that | appreciated his patriotism
and had great respect for the public
spirit which he displayed, but that 1 do
not think it necessary to spend any such
sum to prove such a patent fact that the
beef was embalmed. The evidence of
nearly 100 officers proved it. The repre-
sensations made to me established it be-
yond a doubt. My report was based sole
ly upon personal observation, and the
statements of NJ officers in which | have
not confidence. The testimony and evil
dence produced is sufficient to establish

LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS

New York, jan. 31.-Nelson A.. Miles
gave out a statement tonight after deny
ing several published interviews attribut-
ed to lin. He prefaced his statement by
saying: Il have been most freely quoted
without authority from me or without
any utterance on my part. 1t has been a
source Of great annoyance to me-" His
statement is as follows:
"On the Goth of last September 1 issued
an order to regimental commanders to re-
port to me concerning the beef which had
been issued to their men. At the time l
went before the wal board investigating
commission l had only received reports
from IA of the commanders Now l have
80 reports. They all tell the same story.
The evidence proves the truth of the state
ments | have made. In addition to the re-
ports of the regimental commanders, [
have a great mass of evidence, consisting
of communications, a~ffidavits, etc, from
| officers, soldiers and civilians. Every part
Of the country has contributed to the
mass of correspondence which l have re-
ceived in reference to the beef served to
our soldiers, and the evidence is all cOrrO-

overwhelming evidence that the embalm-
ed beef was treated with chemicals in or
der to preserve it. 1 have affidavits from
men who saw the beef undergoing the
treatment or embalming process. Now as
to the canned roast beef. The canned
roast beef was the beef after the extract
had been boiled out of it. You have seen

this is the beef after the extract has been
taken from it. They put this beef pulp up
in can and label it canned roast beef.
The soldiers report that the canned beef
was nauseating. If swallowed it could
not be kept on the stomach"
1t was pointed out by Gen. Miles that he
had been quoted as having said that if
the men who supplied the beef would de-
post 81 LOCO in such a way that it could be
made to pay the cost Of the proceedings,
he would furnish absolute proof of his as
SertlOns. He was asked what tribunal
he had in mind or to whom he would fur
nish this proof, and in reply said: Il
made that statement in response to the
offer of beef men to pay 500, 600 for evil
dence of the truth of my allegations
against their product. I looked on THEN
offer as a bluff and took that way OF
answering it. I have no tribunal in mind
I have the greatest abundance of evidence
to support the charges l made and do not
think that any part of the $1,000 need be
spent in mere Investigations
Gen. Miles has received q telegram
from Col. A. A. Pope of Boston, request
ing General Miles to draw on him for ST.
600 to prove that chemicals We're used tc
embalm beef furnished to soldiers, but
his offer will not be accepted, for the rea-
sons already given.
