Jmorgue at Nagley & Cars, where
they have been viewed by many
friends of the LEAD woman today. A
great many people, friends of Mrs.
Failchild, seemed t know consider
able about her private life, but knew
nothing of any tender relations exist
ing between the young man and her
/ self.
Woman Followed From Denver.
Mrs. F%airchild, upon her and her
husband breaking up housekeeping,
went to room at the Ramona hotel on
the 10th of April. Shortly before re-
moving to the Ramona, Mrs. Fair
child had made a visit to Denver,
where she met Mr.. Peterson. He fol-
lowed her to Ell Paso, reaching here
on the 21st of April, and began DOR
ing at the Ramona. 1t was noticed
that a friendly relation existed be-
tween the two, but Mr.. Borcherding
said he never had a more seemingly
perfect lady about his house than Mrs.
Fairchild. The theory which has
gained way today among friends of the
dead woman that Peterson and she
at Denver became fast friends seems
to be a logical one in view of the
young mans following the woman to
Ell Paso.
The mother of the dead woman is at
present at San Bernardino.
1t is stated by all who knew them
that Mr.. and Mrs. Fairchild were
very affectionate one to the other, and
that no domestic trouble could have
prompted the act.
Spent Evening in ParIor.
Last night the dead couple, in COM
pany with several other guests of the
Romona, spent the evening very pleas
antly in the parlor, and Mr.. Peterson
was in excellent spirits. A few days
ago he drew a draft on his father for
$125 which was honored and last night
in the parlor, when some one accused
him Of being broke he said: Il am
never broke" at the same instant
drawing a $50 bill from his pocket. He
drew frequently upon his father for
money, and did not pretend to want
to work. No other motive is ascribed
for his coming to FL Paso except to
be with the dead woman.
Father is Prominent.

to him, asking him to return home
TO accept a position with the Interna-
tional Harvester company at a good
salary. The letters urged the son to
settle down. From the trend of the
letters one would judge that the son
had promised to go home soon. The
father has served several terms in the
state legislature of Wisconsin and is
a prominent business man of Amherst.
He had enclosed to the son a copy
of a letter received from the Inter-
national Harvester company, Offering
the young man a position at a salary
of sos a month to begin with. 1t is
said that the young man was spending
an average of 5000 a month, and while
the father had not complained, he in
sisted on the boys returning home anC
fitting himself for a business career
Peterson had just placed an ordel
for a suit of clothes with Drummer, the
tailor, and they are ready to be trieC
on today.
