BOILED AND BURNED.
The Suspected sausaEemaker Admits
the Murder of His Wife-Hi~ Hor-
4 risIe Recital of the Dispo-
sition of Her Remains.

Chicago, March IS. - August A.
Becker, the sausagemaker who has
been under arrest for four weeks on a
charge of numbering his wife, made a
full confession Tuesday night. He
said that he cut his wife 10 pieces and
burned the remains in a stove. Becker,
when first arrested. admitted killing
his wife. but declared he pushed her
off Randolph street viaduct into the
lake and that she was drowned. The
police have never placed any reliance
in the drowning confession. and have
kept up their work on the idea that
Becker killed the woman in his house
and made way with the body. The
finding of portion Of a human lung
three days ago in Becker's barn put
strength in their theory, and late Tues
day night they induced Becker 10 con-
feSs.
His Confession.
In his onfession Becker said he had
killed his wife by striking her on the
head with a Ratchet in the kitchen OF
his home. He then cut the body TO
pieces and boiled ii in a large kettle.
After watching the disintegration of
the remains for several hours and
when nothing was left that resembled
a human body, Becker says, he took
what remained and burned IL in n red
hot stove, the fire having been pre-
pared by him. The bones which would
not burn he buried on the prairie near
his home.
January 81 was the date Becker says
he committed the murder. He asserts
the crime was not premeditated, but
that he quarreled with his wife on the
afternoon OF that day. and in the heat
of passion he struck her on the head
with the Ratchet. Only one blow was
needed 20 cause death, and after that
had been struck the sausagemaker
says he thought of the way 70 dispose
OF the remains of his wife in order to
destroy all chances of detection.
The piece Of lung and portion OF
calico which were found under the
barn and which the police believed TO
be strong evidence against Becker, he
says. could not be any part Of the body
of his wife, as he is certain that he de-
stroyed every particle OF flesh, and he
maintains the dress which she wore
was also entirely burned.
The police at midnight went 10
Becker's barn with him, and at 2:40 a.
m. returned with the bones found
where Becker said he buried them.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought 10 the grave by diseases of the
Kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form Of il and never suspectit.
For many years medical science has
been trying 10 discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov.
cry made. DIR. Kilmer. the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of
Swamp-Root, which has proven itself a
most wonderful cure for all diseases of
the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, IL has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure Of all uric acid troubles.

practice, among the helpless too poor to

THE CAVE CREEK TRAGEDY
The Return of the Coroner and Jury
Yesterday Morning.

Justice tombstone and the members
of the coroner's jury who went out to
view the remains of Jack Ford, muir
-dered at Yaeger's sheep ranch above
the Phoenix mine by James Daniels
last Monday, returned about O'Clock
yesterday morning after wearisome
trip. The inquest was adjourned until
next Monday to suit the convenience
of the witnesses.
The jury discovered little more
than The Republican has already
printed The only witness OF the kill
ing was the French sheepnerder, who
could not understand the English in
which the preceding quarrel was car
ried on. The murder took place in the
mountains at a point which is reached
only by dangerous and PERCEPTIONS
trails 1t was rather mere deliberate
and bloody than was at first reported.
The Frenchman said that the first shot
struck Ford in the right shoulder and
he fell. The next, fired while he lay
on his back, hit him in the left leg
above the knee, shattering the bone.
Then the murdered advanced upon
him and must have held tbs muzzle of
the Winchester within a few inches of
his face when he fired into the lower
part of the face the ball passing t0 the
back of the head near the CROWN.
When Daniels mounted his victims
niue and rode out of sight, the
Frenchman went to Ford, who lay
groaning yet, but unconscious. He
propped him up and put his hat on his
head, after which he set out fer the
Phoenix mine for help. While he was
gone a singular thing happened, for
when he returned with assistance the
dead body of Ford was found 200 feet
away from the place where the dying
man had been left. The ground be-
tween was so broken that it is trav-
ersed slowly and with the greatest diff
ficulty. Yet Ford with his shattered
shoulder and useless leg got over it.
The body had not been buried when
the jury arrived. 1t had been tightly
wrapped in wagon sheet which Billy
Widmer sent up, but it was found in
an advanced stage of decomposition.
The stencil was horrible and the re-
mains were hidden away as soon as
possible.
The murderer is believed to be hid
ing in the neigbbOrhoOd of his crime
The cOroner's men felt while they were
gazing at his work that his eyes were
looking down upon them. He rode
Ford's mule down the trail to the
creek where it was found without a
saddle. 1t is supposed that Daniels
hid the saddle to leave his pursuers to

INNING IN plMA
George H. SiSSon a Prominent Oper.
afor in Town Yesterday.

George II. Sisson of Tucson. who
has been Unidentified with the mining
interests Of the territory for twenty
one years was in town yester-
day. He has recently been de-
| veloping some property along the
Santa Cruz river in Pima county. Mr.
Sisson has been the discoverer and
owner of some of the most extensive
copper properties of the territory. AT
one time he owned about one-half the
copper propositions about Clifton and
practically all in Globe. He was the
discoverer of the Old Dominion. He
is at present the president of the Table
Mountain Copper company, which OPP
crates "a mine in Pinal county. There
are two furnaces on the property OF
siXy-ton capacity each. The ore runs
twelve per cent copper and from SIS
to $40 per ton in gold.
Mr.. Sisson gave some interesting in
formation concerning the once famous
Peer and Peerless mines in the QuijotOa
mountains, seventy-five miles east OF
Tucson. A new strike has been made
in the mines. They were operated
twenty-five years ago by the Food &
Mackey Company of San Francisco
known then as the Bonanza Com
pany." At that time silver mining
was the rage and the company negIecr
ed to examine its property for gold or
copper. The property consisted of an
immense dyke 1000 feet in cross sec
tons and towering l 800 feet above th5
base. Operations were commenced at
the summit and 4 shaft was sunk many
feet but the amount of silver found
was not sufficient to justify the money
expended. AS a consequence. the
company sank nearly 81 900 900 before
it abandoned the property and it left
about $150O00 worth of machinery
This machinery is still on the property,
Alexander Mckay, the original dis
cOverer has relocated the dyke He Is
now associated with Captain ]. D
Burgess and the work of developing is
confined to the base CT the heavily
iTon-capped dyke and with much better
success than was experienced by the
Bonanza people. Instead of silver
they seek gold and copper.
Some English experts have been
examining the property with the re
suit that several claims have been
bonded to English companies. The
dyke is of an unusual formation. On
the north side the ore contains mostly
gold, While on the opposite SIZE the
character is different The ore runs
copper and silver. The gold ore in
the dyke is mostly free milling and is
found in a thirty-foot ledge. How
ever some portions of the vein carry
lead sulphites. This ore plates from
Sc to $50 in gold and the tailings con-
tanning the lead deposits concentrate
readily A prediction was made by
Mr. Sisson that the once abandoned
Quijotoa district will again be the seat
of great activity.
Mr.. Sisson also spoke of the mining
interests along the Santa Cruz and
about Tucson. He said that l.. Zecken-
dorf & Company have sold the well
known Ray mine to London com
pany. The sale took place lew
days ago.
A strike has been made at the Silver
Bell. south of Tucson. The twcnty-fO0t
ledge is carrying free milling ore which
runs $40 on an average. While some
sample ore was taken from the mine
which run several thousand dollars.
