WOMAN ATTACKED
 IN JONESBORO Report Says Mrs. Jacobs Was Knocked Down Twice HER INJURIES NOT SERIOUS Another Statement is That Mrs. la. cobs Has Severe Nervous Spells and That She Was Not Att
 tackled By Any One.
HER INJURIES NOT SERIOUS

Bessemer, February 2.-(SpeciaD--Coa- siderable excitement was caused here and in Jonesboro by the report that Mrs. P. l.. Jacobs of that place, while alone in her home last night had been twice knocked down by some unknown assail- ant.
 Deputy Sheriff Carroll, who was called to the scene, stated the facts as far as he could ascertain them to be as follows:
 That Mrs. Jacobs hadK retired and was awakened by noise; that she went Into the next room to investigate, when she was knocked down by some unknown assailant, that she recovered herself suf- ficiently to run into the hall when she was again knocked down; that later she Vas able to give the alarm
 MT. Carroll states that Mrs. Jacobs in- juries are not serious and that she suf- fered principally from the nervous shock
 Close friends of the Jacobses residing in Jonesboro who were in this city today state that Mrs. Jacobs Is subject to se- were nervous and fainting spells, and that she was not attacked by any one, as reported However this may be. her injuries were not of a serious nature, as she has no marks of any blows and thre were no articles missing from the house. which precludes the idea of robbery.
 Miss Mary Gillen and MT. Benjamin Boshwitz of this city were quietly mar ried this afternoon at the residence of MT. and Mrs. J. A. Estes. The marriage was in the nature of a runaway affair, though the parents of the bride. MT. and Mrs. P J. Gillen, were aware that the young people contemplated matrimony.
 There had been much opposition on the part of the brides people owing to the difference In religion between Miss Gill len and MT Boshwitz. The former re- turned this morning from Pratt City, where she had been visiting friends. MT. Boshwitz met her in Birmingham and accompanied her home and there the young people tried vainly to secure the consent of Mrs. Gillen to their union. Failing in this, they went this afternoon at O clock to the residence of a neigh Dor, Mrs. J. A. Estes, and, telephoning for Esquire William Jackson, they were quickly married. There were present at the ceremony the members of Mrs. Estes, family and Mrs. Samuel Le1koorts, Mrs. J. Jaffe and Mrs H. Holdberg, the three sisters of the groom. They were later the guests Mrs. Lefkoorts and leave tonight for Cincinnati, where they will spend several weeks visiting relatives of the groom.
 ~he bride has unusual beauty and the groom is a deserving and popular young man in the employ of J. Jaffe, the ew- eler.

 The south side life saving crew thinks all the wreckage points to the fact that the Rio blew up after sinking All the woodwork is splintered and other details known to sea-faring men are too num- erous to mention, support this theory. The Rio is not the first ship that has come to grief on Milk Rock. About ten years ago the Frank Jones, an American deep water ship, struck it and went down. She was standing in half shore blindly feeling her way through the fog and those who recall the disaster say that the circumstances attending it were about the same as the Rios loss, with, how ever, far fewer casualties.
 Heroism of Captain Ward.
 There are several conflicting stories concerning the fate of Captain Ward. The steward of the Rio says he stood beside the captain when the vessel went down. Two other survivors say they also saw the captain, but Fred Lindstrom, of the Rio, emphatically declares that Captain Ward emulated Admiral Tryon of her British majesty's ship Victoria in going down in his cabin. where he met his doom behind a locked door. It is certain that Captain Ward was drowned, however.
 It Is impossible to definitely ascertain how many lives were lost by the sinking of the Rio. The passenger list and the If ba fp of the purser, John Rooney, and he is among the missing.
 From the stories told by the survivors of the calamity, all of which conflict more or less in detail, it is presumed that Pilot Jordan is the only living person qualified to tell exactly how the catas-

she answered, "Well, 1 could not
go in better way, and that would
be a more merciful death than l

than three hours from that moment
she sank from her chair to the floor,
her eyes closed and her pulse stop

GOLD DISCOVERED IN MEADE coUNrYn
Silver and Manganese are Also Found In
Smaller Quantities

1t will be quite a surprise to many
of our readers to learn that the pre-
cious yellow metal has been discov-
cred in Meade county, but from all
we can learn it is fact. The mat
ter has been a secret until a few
days ago, when it leaked out from
parties intrusted with the secret.
The old saying that it is too good
to keep, has again given the general
public the advantages enjoyed by
only few.
Some few months ago gentleman
whose name we have been unable to
learn, as he has kept all his business
profound secrets, filed on a very
rough piece of land over on the
Stumparoya. He looked around to
see if he could put mineral filing
on the land, but found that he could
not, and consequently put regular
homestead filing on the claim. He
went to work plowing and comply
ing with the homestead law as other
settlers have done and to all appear.
ances was going to farm, but his
neighbors thought it very peculiar
that he should take such a claim to
farm, with only few acres of till
able land, while there are plenty of
level claims upon which every acre
could be plowed, and of course they
became curious to know just what
the new settler was doing. Upon
investigation it was found that he
was prospecting for minerals. He
was blasting out great chunks of
earth, doing most of his work at
night, He would then disappear
for several days and then return.
The new prospector has never been
seen in Meade, and it is supposed
that he drives overland to the Santa
Fe railroad and sends his specimens
to an assayist in Colorado. We
have been informed that the man
told several parties of the find, also
showed them the precious nuggets.
He has also found some silver ore
in smaller quantities, and also some
manganese, which in very valuable
in the manufacture of steel.
1t has been reported to us that
another citizen of our county, re-
siding on the creek, has found sew
eral pieces of ore containing large
per cent. of gold.
There in no question in our mind
but the above is true and that min
erals of all kinds are abundant sew
eral hundred feet underground. We
are also of the opiniou that oil can
be found at the proper depth. The
oil fields in Texas indicate to us
that this part of Kansas also abounds
in this product of the earth.
We shall investigate this discov-
cry more fully as soon as opportun-
ity will afford and report the results
of our Investigations to our read
ers. Should the find prove to be
an unlimited supply, there is no
question as to the future of Meade
County, and Southwestern Kansas
as we'll. The problem IS solved.
