MADE BUSINESS or MURDER
Woman in Ohio Accused of Taking the Lives of Fourteen Persons
Four of Them Being Her Husbands and Five
Her Children.

Dayton, o.. Oct. Mrs. ]. A. Wit
mer. a widow, residing in this city, has
been arrested by the police at the in
stigation of the coroner and is held a
prisoner at Central station pending an
investigation into very serious charges
Mrs. Wilmer, the police say, is sus-
pected of fourteen murders, the list
including four husbands, five children,
one sister and four members of differ
ent families in which she was en-
ployed as housekeeper.
The last supposed victim was her
sister, Mrs. Anna Pugh, who died a
week ago under mysterious circum-
stances. An autopsy performed at the
request of Mrs. Winners mother, who
came here from Detroit, is said to have
disclosed the presence of arsenic and
copperas in the stomach.
Following closely upon the death of
her first husband, Fred Schweger,
came, according to police department
data, the death of two children. The
second husband died suddenly several
years after the marriage. and three
children of this marriage died in rapid
succession. The third husband of Mrs
Wilmer was William Stowe, who died
at Middletown under symptoms, it is
stated, of arsenic poisoning. Mr..
Stoves death at that time created q
sensation and was the subject of an
investigation by the coroner. Her last
husband, A. j. Wilmer, died last April.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. IA new. Edo
RADIO is reported near the shores of
Good Hope bay. the most southerly ex-
tension of Kotzebue sound and the
northern boundary of Sumner PENN
sula. The center of attraction is Can
die creek. tributary of the Kewaulik
river. This location is almost directly
north of Nome and to go there from
the latter place necessitates a voyage
of 300 miles around the coast to Ber-
ing straits and through into the Arc
tic ocean.
There has been a regularly formed
mining district there. with a United
States commissioner since the early
spring. 1t is known as the Fair Haven
district and is established there to pro-
vide the necessary government for all
that territory touching upon the shores
of Good Hope bay.
Late last fall a number of prospect
ors came out from that country which
lies to the westward OF the Kewaulik
river and reported finding face pay on
a number of creeks These creeks have
been worked during the presept sea

been found, yet the result of the year $
work will be gratifying.

In each instance death was somewhat
sudden and all were strangely alike
1t was shortly after Mr.. Stoves
death that Mrs. Wilmer came to Day
ton. She afterward assumed the duties
of housekeeper for Charles K Keller,
widower. Keller died suddenly, and the
information since gained by the coroner
concerning Kellers death is that his
ailment was similar to that of a per
son affected by poison.
She next acted as housekeeper for
John A. Wenz, an east end druggist.
Wenz died in September one year ago.
The doctors attributed his death tC
blood poisoning, but now tell the cOrO-
ner that they were dissatisfied with
their diagnosis at the time. Two
months before Mr.. Wenz'S death his
4-yeaC-old son died suddenly.
Mrs. Stowe next resided with a Mr.
and Mrs. Gabler on Best street, River
dale. These two persons died sudden
ly. and the coroner now says that their
sickness was of the nature of arsenical
poisoning
The prisoner is At years of age and
formerly lived in Middletown, this
state She has two sons in the Phil
ippines and a sister it is stated. in
New York asylum. No conceivable mo-
tive for the suspected crimes has been
disclosed. Drugs which were found in
the house occupied by Mrs. Wilmer
are in possession of the police and will
be examined.

BLOODY FEUD IN TENNESSEE
Chadwe and Mogans Clash at Church Meeting and Four Are
Killed and Two MortaIy Wounded-More
Trouble Looked For.

The feud between the Morgans and
Chadwells has existed since the civil
war. Last Christmas they met at Wal
nut Hills, Va, when a pitched battle
ensued, in which several were killed.
Eighteen months ago they met near
the Hancock line. Fighting followed,
and one was killed.
Both the Chadwells and Morgans are
prosperous and influential and have
large families and all their members
are fearless.
Middlesboro. Ky. Oct. IA report
reached here tonight by way of Taze-
well, Tenn. that a second clash be-
tween the Caldwell and Morgan fac
tions had occurred late this afternoon,
but the story is unconfirmed. At noon,
when a horseman arrived here from
Ewing. Va. five miles from Big
Springs, no more trouble had occurred,
although the feeling was at tension.
Both factions were bar1icaded in their
homes and were armed to the teeth
Many believe that they were waiting
for darkness to renew the trouble.
Two members of each faction came to
cumberland Gap today and secured a
4arge supply of ammunition.

ANOTHER BIG GOLD DISTRICT
is DISCOVERED IN ALASKA

Kewaulik flows into Good Hope
bay; CandTNcreek flows into the Ke-
waulik about twelve miles from the
latter's mouth. Candle creek is about
twenty miles long and has many trib-
utaries- Here forty big strikes have
been made.
H. Q. BlankenShip.. one of the dis
coverers, is in this city on his way
home TO Tennessee A bond was taken
by Captain William n. Armstrong on
sixteen of Blankenship's claims for the
sum of S160000. The latest phase of
the deal removes the story entirely
from the realm of romance.
Charles D. Lane, the multi-unllllion-
ARE mining man. who controls the
largest mining interests at Nome. has
offered Captain Armstrong 500. COO
bonus on the BlaRkenship property
This offer was made. subject to approv-
al, by Lane about ten days ago. when
he left Nome for the new diggings in
a special chartered ocean tug. At that
time the Pioneer Mining company was
paying out Anvil creek gold literally
for shOrt-tine options On Candle creek.
The place is not difficult of access.
The Northern Commercial company has
taken the Sadie off the St. Michael run
and was sending her TO the mouth of
the kewaulik river for her first trip
during the last week of September.

CONDITION OF THE
CONWCTS IN MOORISH PRISONS

of them consist of small. high walled
yards, with no shade, no shelter, no
water supply and no sanitation.
To add to the horror, the prisoners
are chained by their necks to a long,
heavy iron chain. sometimes as many
as fifty to one chain, without a yard
between each. Heavy shackles are
also riveted to their legs. The condi-
tions in the subterranean dungeons are
even more awful.

He will overhaul the prisoners. sending

ton The prisoners are 20 tive suffi-
cient rations, supplied to them by the
