An OLD MNER And A GHOST
pendIe ton Paper Exposes One Of the
Morning Papers's

The PeniietOn Tribune says:
It's only bad news that travels fast.
Good news must be sent. To have a
father and lose him for 10 years at
the end of which time you read a
notice in newspaper, compiled by
some pie Drained idiot. that a man
answering the description of this long
lost father has found a gold mine in
Oregon where the nuggets grow on the
surface IN abundance only to expert
ence the rule awakening which this
article will bring to John Willis, Of
Marion, Ind. is not supposed to be
the acme Of happiness by several
points.
Some two weeks ago there appeared
in the Walla Walla Union news
paper story bearing the PeniletOn
date line and telling how old John
Willis had been led to d fabulOusly
rich gold mine by a ghost The story
says that Willis found the mines to
support rank growth of pure mug
gets, the like of which had never be-
fore been seen in the Blue Mountain
country. The article also stated that
Mr. Willis would interest the TWO
banks of this city in his mine-for
what reason it did not state unless
to enjoy the wealth.
The story Travelled the rounds of the
papers and yesterday Postmaster Liv-
ermore received a letter from a man
in Marion, Indiana enclosing the
Identical story but clipped from the
Marion Chronicle, with special DO

HORSFALL CASE ENDS.
The Supreme Court SustaIns the
Verdict of the Lower Court.

Olympia supreme court has
affirmed the judgement Of the Pierce
county court in the case Of Kate Hors
fall versus the Pacific Mutual Life In
surance company, appellant, which IN.
vOlved an action for recovery on an
accident policy amounting TO $500.
Kate Horsfall was named as benefic-
larry in the policy taken out by her
husband, John Horsfall. whose death
resulted from an accident in the shops
Of the Puget Sound Iron Works at Ia
coma.
HorsfaIl was So years of age and
strong and robust, weighing about 18d
pounds. On March "a, 1902. while at
work in the Tacoma shops he lifted
one end of an iron bar weighing from
$50 to 400 pounds, STOPPING to the
ground to lift the bar. When he put
the bar down he turned pale, trembled
violently and was compelled to &c
home and consult.a physician. He
died April IS as a result of what the
physicians termed violent dilatiOn OF
the heart brought on by lifting the
heavy bar
Death Was accidental.
The company contested the right
60 recover on the accident policy on
the ground that no accident had been
shown, and if so it did not come with
n the meaning Of the policy. which
provided that the accident must be
shown by some external marks on the
body The higher court claims that
the death was purely accidental and
the fact that the skin turned a blush
gray all over the mans body as a re-
suit was sufficient external evidence.
The company also held that proper
notice was not given but this cOnten-
ton is not upheld either

The story referred to which is a
hot air pipe dream is as follows:

mOre-he has found a gold mine so
itch as 20 place him in the ranks OF
the milli0naires of the country.
Willis has just returned from long
visit to the Blue Mountains and the
tale he tells is remarkable 10 say the
least. With him he brought a sack
full Of nuggets which have been eX-
amined by half the assayers here VINO
pronounced them pure gold running
neaIly $22 to the ounce.
Thg aged pr0spectCr has interested
two Of TIE bankers of this section IN
his find and a party Of WOrkmen Will
proceed at once to the claim OF Willis
on the hills.
Willis has always been man of
mystery He appeared on the streets
here many years ago, but as to his
history he always has been silent.
That there was a romance in his life
he had admitted. but the nature Of it
he never would disclose.
He has been regarded as eccentric
in many ways, and when he an
nounced on his return today that ne
had named his mine the Haunted
Lucy" he was looked upon as men
tally deranged.
1t is the claim Of Willis that he
was led to the mine which he claims
is a world heater by the ghost of a
woman named Lucy. This woman
has been with him in the spirit, he
says for more than twenty-five years,
and to her he lays his good fortune.
This is the first time that gold has
been found in considerable quantity
n the blue mountains.

MAY CALL EXTRA SESSION.
Governor May Reconvene Texas
Legislature Upon Adjournment.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Austin. Tex. March @-The House passed
finally a large number Of local bills yester-
day. while the Senate had only two impor-
tant measures up for consic Grafton. II is
now generally believed that the lawmakers
will be reconvened Immediately upon ad-
journmnnt next Wednesday. and besides
the ensctment Of the general appropriation
bill. the Governor may ask for some taxa
ton measures to increase the revenue of
the State.
The occupation tax bill. which repeats the
occupation tax on merchants dentists. law
yers and private bankers, was submitted to
the Governor for his appfoai. Feelings are
entertained that he will veto this bill. as il.
will take about $25o.oo0 annually from tie
State.
The Williams intagible tax bill, which
seeks to impose a tax on the intangible as
sets OF corporations. was referred to the
Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxa
lion, and as soon as 1t is reported from that
body nv effort will be made to take It up in
the Senate.
The Textbook bill was passed finally in
the Senate. after being disfigured with
amendments. The bill and amendments
were taken over to the House. and that
body promptly refused to concur In the Sem
ate amendments, and free conference
committee resulted.
The Governor vetoed the Senate bill pro-
viding an increase in the salaries of the
convict guards. The Governor gives as his
reasons that neither the necessities of the
Penitent!ary service nor the condition of
the treasury at this time warrant the ap-
proval OF the bill.
