Murder is Proved
But Mystery Remain:

Almagordo, N. NJ, Oct. 15.-The
charred bones of man and a boy, sup
posed to be the remains Of Colonel AL
bert ]. Fountain and his son Henry,
were found In the Sacramento noun
tains yesterday by AlonZo Greenwood
and William Smith, who were on u
hunting expedition. Descending the
side of the mountains .ng James can
yOn the hunters sat down on a log to
rest and discovered part Of gun bar
rel portruding from the ground at their
feet. They dug beneath the surface and
unearthed another gun barrel, a parti-
ally burned saddle, a looking glass, a
pair of breeches, buckles, the burned
bones of two skeletons and several
minor pocket articles. The stocks of
both guns had been burned giving
evidence that the murderer had at
tempted to destroy all trace Of the
crime by burning his own gun and sad
die as well as the bodies Of his victims.
AS Fountain and his son are the only
persons who have been missing from
this country, and as sim lar breeches
and buckles were worn by young Hen
ry Fountain, there Is no doubt but
what the last resting place of the MUIR
dered attorney and his son has been
found and the veil OF mystery sur
rounding their disappearance has been
partially raised.
Colonel Fountain and his son left
Lincoln for Las Cruces in the latter
part of January, 1896, In blackboard
and stopped on the night Of January
31st at the home OF d. NJ. Sutherland
They intended going to Las Cruces by
way Of the White Sands desert. but
after leaving La Luz they disappeared
as completely as though swallowed by
the earth.
Although the finding at this late day
of the bodies offers nc clew to tn,
perpetrators Of the crime 1t brings t
light the fact that Fountain and hi
son were undoubtedly murdered ant
that they did not go to some Soutl
American country, as was frequentl!
reported.

the English language is rich. M. Verne
has read Robinson Crusoe" five or
six times, and can recite by heart
whole pages of Treasure Island" He
thinks The Swiss Family Robinson
one OF the best boys books ever writ
ten, and loves Fennimore Cooper.
Walter SCOTS works are always with
in reach of his hand in his study. and
captain Marryat's breezy sea stories
are almost worn away by long han
ding.
Jules Verne is naturally very fond
OF the immense success his works have
mad. He delights in the fact that he
possesses more than 600 letters written
to him at various times by boys and
girls to express the pleasure they have
had in reading his books. These let
tiers, which are all docketed and class
ed by the author himself according to
the age of the writer's and their ma
tlonality, make a very curious and in
teresting collection. There are letters
in French, in Russian, in Italian, in
Spanish and in English. There is one
in Polish. The letters in English come
mostly from English colonies and from
the United States. One of the Ameri-
can letters is from little girl in Bal
timore, who writes to say that she
wishes she were boy, so that she
might go under the sea in the Maui
| titus And if she could, she adds, her
first voyage would be to Mr.. Verne's
home, if he would like her to come
Mr. Verne tells with chuckle that he
wrote to his little correspondent as.
surfing her that nothing would give
him more pleasure than to receive hel
at his home, whether she came in the
Nautilus or down the chimney. Blu
he advised her to stay in Baltimore
and learn to be good American lit
tie girl, for she could not be anythin'
better, however hard she tried.

Jules Verne at Home.

What boy is Thereon what girl, for
that matter-wflo has not sat entranc-
ed over the wonderful adventure books
of Jules Verne? They have been
translated into every language and de-
voured by several generations of
young people all over the world
Yet the veteran author is alive to
enjoy his wide fame, and to compose
new books for the children of all lands.
He is now Is years of age, but he is
vigorous and upright still and has all
the heart of youth.
II can't climb trees myself any
more" he said the other day, "but 1
can enjoy seeing my grandchildren
climb them. And they are all glad to
play with the old man on the level
ground, where he is still good for
something"
But the interviewer was able to Judge
of that for himself For at that mo-
ment small crowd of boys and girls
rushed out of the house into the gar
den where the old man was talking to
his visitor. They poured down on the
veteran writer like an avalanche STUN
| bling over each other in their eager
ness to be first into his outstretched
hands. They were grandchildren and
nephews and nieces and grandnephews
and grandnieces all mixed up together,
dozen or so Of them. pouring out Of
the classroom to play with the smil-
ing patriarch.
Jules Verne is very busy man. He
gets up every day with the sun, and
after a light breakfast works steadily
at his stories till II o'clock. That is a
very common lunch hour in France,
and it is then that the children get the
first glimpse of Papa Jules He
gathers round the table all the boys
and girls that he can get hold of; the
little ones of the quiet, old-fashioned
town have all at one time or another
had their place at his table and en-
1oyed his funny sayings and his little
bits of queer, suggestive information.
He is not easily satisfied with his
work. Every book of his has been re-
written several times before it has
finally reached the public. And he
never begins book without studying
thoroughly and very deeply everything
that can make the subject familiar to
him. From about 1890 to 5 every day
| he spends in this kind of reading keep
| ing himself thoroughly posted in all
sorts of new scientific discoveries and
expeditions and in the latest informa-
ton about newly explored and strange
lands. He reads, too. for purposes Of
comparison stories Of adventure in
several languages. He is especially
fond bf the books Of this kind. Ia which

Concerts in This Country.
lgnace Paderewski has three more
concerts to give, and it is estimated
that the gross receipts from his tour
this year will amount to about $3.50 900,
says the New York Sun. This is
$4,000 more than he earned on his
last trip, and the experience proves the
tallacy of the prediction that it would
never be possible for him to repeat
here the wonderful experiences of that
tour. When he sails away on the
Oceanic he will have given ninety-six
concerts in all and have travelled
$4,000 miles. Only one projected con-
cert was not given. Sacramento was
