HAD MANY VICTIMS.
Large Sums Contributed to Press
Suits for alleged Estates.
Icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUHE.l


Cincinnati, Dec. 5.-No arrest made in years
rv postofflce officials has attracted much at
tention as that of George w. Thatcher. who
is now in Jail in this city on the charge
of using the mails TO defraud. Since the
arrest of Thatcher numerous victims of
his swindling scheme have related the
methods which he used in making them
believe they were heirs to vast estates.
Many Of these victims have mortgaged their
homes to supply him with funds TO recover
property 10 which they were the supposed heirs.
The most notable instance Of this is that of
q man named Burkhart, Of Dayton. Ohio whose
property was recently sold at a foreclosure sale,
it having been mortgaged to secure money for
Thatcher to recover Burkharts interest in what
was known as the Becker estate. which was
supposed to be reasonably worth S70OOOO0O.
Another alleged estate, heirs to which were
among the victims. is located, according TO
Thatcher in New-York City, and consists oil
real estate on Union Square and on Broadway,
near Wall-st. It's alleged value is S1SO0O000.
In addition were some French war bonds, to
the value of 100000 making the total estate
S2OOOOOOO The alleged heirs to this supposed
estate number about three thousand, all Of
whom at different times contributed from 500 to
81 900 to recover their interests.

SNOW SAVES WHEAT.

Kansas City, Dec. 5-A light snow, the first
Of the season. began falling in the west half Of
the State shortly after midnight, and the ground
is now completely covered. The weather is
mild and clearing.
The moisture was much needed. as the ground
had become very dry. At Emporia, Kan,
an inch and a half Of snow fell last night. and
fs the first moisture for several months. There
is more wheat in the State this year than there
has been for years, because many of the farmers
whose crops were washed out last July put the
land in fall wheat last August and September.
Wheat planted late turning yellow. but it
is thought the snow will save it. The early
wheat is in good shape.

About 8 o'clock the hopes were
