Asked the Police to Ferret Out
a Dreadful Tragedy.
A GIRL AND A BUTCHER
An Alleged Letter C0njured Nameless
HOrrOrS-Girl Found Safe
and Happy.

Charles Victor called at police head
quarters several days ago told a
story that set the nerves of the city
sleuths tingling. He evidently believed
1t himself n was properly mysterious
as the p%ossessor of bl~oodcurdling secrets
should be and was so sincere in his man.
ner that the police believed that he was
telling the truth and that a sensation al
most as great as the Luetgert murder
case OF Chicago was about to be disclos-
ed through him. And now they are
wondering just what particular brand
of hop paints deceptive visions on his
brain.
Victor old the officers that Minnie
Pasco. a Tenderloin girl had been abduct-
ed by a young man named Gus Nehof
and aiken to a cabin in the hills east Of
the city. Nehof, he said, was madly
infatuated with the girl, was ~insanely
Jealous of her, had threatened to kill her
on numerous occasions and Victor was
of the opinion that Nehof had taken the
girl into some lonely place to kill her.
In support of his story he showed
the officers a letter which he said had
been written by the girl to him. In his
letter she begged Victor to do something
to get her away from Nehof. who kept
her a prisoner in a cabin south of the
cemetery, limited mysteriously at the
brutal treatment, said Nehof had de-
stroyed her clothing so as to prevent her
escape and implored hin to come and
a her away. She advised him not to
come alone az Nehof was a fighter ana
might do him some harm. The letter
was burning with passion for Victor, and
the writer %intianated that some things
had occurred which she would not put
down In black and but would whis-
per SOFTLY in his ear when he came.
But 40 years had cooled the blood of
Victor and he did not rush madly to the
captive lady's rescue. Believing that the
police officers are paid to put their lives
in jeopardy he enlisted their support.
For two days Detectives Murphy and
Ray searched for the girl, expecting to
unearth a murder. Finally they found
her very much alive and well in Nehof's
home near the cemetery. She laughed
when the officers told her Victor's story,
~repudiated the letter, and said she was
living or the fat of the and with her
Gus, and Victor was giving himself need
less concern about her whereabouts.
And thus was the sensation exploded.

PETIIGREW
ACCUSED OF
TREASON.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The wish of Pet
tigrew, in the senate today, to have the
statement made by Aguinaldo printed as
a public document brought on a lively
discussion which was participated in by
Pettigrew, Lodge. Hawley, Spooner, CAL
linger. Jones (Ark.), Sewell and Teller.
Pettigrew said if the statement was
not allowed printed he would read it and
thereby get it in the Record.
Hawley, however, said he objected to
the reading as reasonable.
Spooner thought it was about time to
draw the line ON the constant suit Of
Aguinaldo against the United States and
Gallinger said it was the time the kind Of
argument used by the South ako
senator should cease in the senate.
Jones charged that the republicans
feared to nave the truth known regarding
the Philippines.
Sewell On. j., deprecated the actions of
Pettlgrew and under the circumstances
thought he was a traitor to his ountry
in supporting the arch traitor of the
United States who had sold himself to
Spain and betrayed his own country.

ASK APPOINTMENT
OF RECEIVER FOR
- THE MINNIE HEALEY,

F. Augustus Heinze and the Johnstown
Mining company have. petitioned the
court for the appointment of a receiver
Tor the Minnie Healey mine. In the
document the petitioners allege that Carl
hielnschm1dt and others who are defend
ants In a suit in which the petitioners are
plaintiffs have taken possession Of the
property and unless they are disposses-
SD will mine and carry the ore away.
The petitioners also allege that Miles
F1nlen, by reason of false and fraudu-
lent claims. secured an order of injunc-
ton through plaintiffs in the action in
volving the property were enjoined by
the court from mining the claim.
Plaintiffs further say that since the In
Junction was granted 1t has cost $500 per
month to keep the openings in shape and
preserve them, and unless the ores are
mined n disposed of they will suffer
great loss by reason of a decline in the
price of copper.
Plaintiffs further allege that the vein
of the Minnie Healey dips into the Pic
colo and Gambetta claims on the north.
and that these claims are owned by the
Boston q Montana company; that by
means of underground workings the Bos-
ton & Montana has mined and extracted
large quantities of ore from the Minnie
Healey and converted it to it's own use;
that considerable development work will
be necessary to prove the Identity and
strike of the veins, and that Miles Finlen
is acquiescing to the trespass of the Bos-
ton & Montana.
Plaintiffs say they believe the Boston
& Montana has taken from the property
ore to the valu of $100, 900 and they be-
lheve the facts warrant the court in is
suing an injunction against the company.
Plaintiffs ask that a receiver be APP
pointed and that he superintend the
mining of the ore, and pay to Karl Klein
schmidt and Mary A. MILLER three-quar-
ters of the net proceeds and retain the
balance until the question of title is ad-
Indicated by the courts.

London. Jan. 31.-Buller telegraphs
from Spearman's camp, under today's
date, that Colonel T~hornycroft was the
officer who ordered the retirement from
~SpionkOp. Butler adds:
1T is due to him to say that I believe
his personal g~allantry saved a difficult
early on January "a, and thai
under a loss of at least 40 per cent he
directed the defense with conspicuous
courage and ability throughout the day.
No blame whatever for withdrawal is, in
my opinion attributable to him, and l
think his onduc throughout was ad-
mirable."

said again and again, as he studied the
view with almost childish interest.
'It's splendid, but it's on too large a
scale. The mountain was only a hill
and the space Of the fighting wasn't so
extended"
The old man was Elliott M. Bascom,

battle of Chepultepec. He carries in
his pocket bit of parchment which, is
signed by President James K. Polk and
his secretary of war, William Marcy,

THE SOUTH FOR EXPANSION.

If the Southern press be any index

no hope for the anti-eXpansionists

sideration. OF course, she will vote
the ticket, whatever he the character
of the platform, but there are two ways
of doing a thing. We must carry this
section for the Democracy because we
care first for the safety of our home
institutions, but a narrow margin
might convey a rebuke that would
seriously embarrass our political fu-
ture. We notice that the South Caro-
lima Legislature listened to Mr.. Bryan
most respectfully and applauded him
generously, but it tabled a resolution
of sympathy for the Beers and Fill
pinos. he most willing camel may be

to the House of Commons, as well as
the approaches to the House. He is, in
fact, the head policeman of the House
Of Commons, or, in other words, he is
the executive officer of the House. The
Chief Clerk, the office just vacated by
| Sir Reginald Palgrave, has supreme
control, without any check intervening
| between him and them, over all clerks
| in the House His standing salary is
now $4,000 per annun, but formerly
his income was very much higher. Be
fore the Sind Act of George III, became
law, the Clerk of the House Of Com
mons received all fees. Out of these
he paid the various clerks under him,
and kept the balance. In the days pf
Mr. Hatsell, former Chief Clerk this
balance of fees amounted to as much
as $4,000 per annum.
The cost of the Chief Clerks Depart
ments is far and away beyond that Of
either the Speakers or the Sergeant-at-
Arms department. In the last finan-
cial year the expenditure on salaries, al
lQWances, postage and incidental eX-
penses in the department of the Chief
Clerk amounted to e25, 600, while the
expenditure in the Sergeant-at-Arms
department was G133S4, and in the
Speakers department was e1O159. The
Chief Clerk exercises jurisdiction over
the Public Bill Office, the Journal Office
the Committee Office and the Private
Office. In all as many as forty-saVen
clerks are subject to the outhor1ty OF
the Chief Clerk, and SO far as the po-
sitions of these forty-seven officials are
concerned, the Clerk of the House has
the absolute power of appointing and
dismiseing.-Pall Mall GaZette.
