HUNTING A
MURDERER.
Baltimore Detectives After
The Slayer of William
H. Collins.

Detectives o Donnell and Gault OF Balli-
more, have been here running down clue
10th MURDER of William H. Collins in
that city on last Wednesday. The police Vt
Baltimore found coupling pin wrapped
in copy of the Every Evening. This led
the authorities to the belief that the mur-
der was committed by some one from TINS
city. The detectives wero in consultation
with Detective Witsll and the wherea-
bouts Of the suspect was clearly proven.
At the inquest Sergeant Swartz testified
that he had reached the sceno of the muir
der at 10 o'clock. He noticed on entering
that the safe door was half open. On
drawing tho curtain he saw only mass
of bed clothing, etc. which covered tue
entire body. Flo uncovered the face only
Collins was fully dressed, one side of bis
collar seemed to have bren pulled out OF
place, his head was lying he ono side. and
there was pool Of blood surrounding the
head.
Captain Baker, OF the Northwestern
District, told Of the discovery Of tho coup
hing pin which had been wrapped first in
copy of The Wilmington Every Evening,
dated September 25, and afterwards in tho
American of September 10; although it
could be seen that tho coupling pin had
been carried about for some timo wrapped
only III the Wilmington paper. He told
how the cash drawer had been found be-
hind the safe, empty. and how the shirt
showed that the diamond stud had been
torn from tho dead mans bosom, tho hole
being torn, and the mark Of bloody fingers
staining the linen. He described the
second visit paid to the shop in tho after
noon, when search was made for the
dead mans money, aud none was found.
The Coroner sjury concluded its sitting In
tho case late last night. Its verdict Is that
Collins came to his death by blows on the
head, inflicted by unknown parties, with
heavy blunt instrument. Tho physicians
who made the autopsy testified that only
II strong man could have struck the deadly
blows. Nothing developed ut tho inquest
to furnish a tangible clue to the murder

HOTEL SERVANTS ARE HONEST.
They Are Often Accused OF Stealing
but Are Rarely GnIlty.

but Are Rarely Guilty.
"a curious thing happened here to-
day." said he head clerk at one of the
leading hot IS in New Orleans. "About
month ago Il gentleman and his wife,
from Milwaukee, spent a couple of dAxs
in the house, and on leaving the lAE
missed a valuable ring She was positive
it had heen stolen by one of the servants.
We set an investigation on foot and
promised to forward the ring IL found.
"A little later the husband wrote to in
quire whether the search had been sue
cessful, and when we replied in the mega
tive he notified us formally that he pro.
posed to sue the hotel. lie claimed we
had shown great negligence in not ar
resting q suspected employee, and his
COMMENT re bitter in the extreme.
That was weeks ago.
Nov h. is the sequel in the shape of
third letter tha3 arrived this morning.
He says that he and his wife reached
home few days ago and in unpacking
the luggage found the ring in one of thc
trunks, and he is manly enough to add n
very handsome apology for his hasty con-
clusions. Strange to say, that is the first
time in the history OF the house that any
guest has frankly admitted such a blum
der after taking his departure, and blum
ders Of that kind are of almost weekly
occurrence.
1T is the commonest thing in the world
at all hotels for persons to go away de-
claring that they have been robbed by
the help. We know the missing article
subsequently turned up, because the sub
iect Is never referred to during Inter yis-
its, but.in the meanwhile score or so of
humble, but honest and Woodworking peo-
pie have been placed under suspicion
that is wholly unwarranted and unjust.
That is point the average traveller
doesn't seem to consider Hotel cham
berm9ids are continually returning valu-
ables which they find in rooms. Dishon-
esty among them is so rare as to be al
most unknown."-New Orleans Times

It eems wonderful to believe that ali this min ral wealth has been lying at our very doors )r so many years without taker, but the 9ndency of prospectors is to go lo1g dis ance off into strange lands rather than to eek for mines in a county as old as Yuma 1ounty and so accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the reater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- nent to the view.

Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years eX- pect to a5e Ylma County rated as the richest ia tue Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings intQ ,ternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway 0 .alizona, the new empire of the Vest, upon whose unde9eloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such,
 is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile. and wanting oaly water to become a paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious duid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction Is taking place agd many enterprises are 0n foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
