MYSTERY
Continued from Page ~

ing marriage and threatening to kill
both Cotton and Miss Mason in case
the marriage took place. The letters
received by Cotton and the Mason
girl are written in an almost iilegi-
BILE hand and the composition and
grammar would give the impression
that the writer had but little educa-
ton. On the other hand the letters
received by Mr.. Dilks and Miss Ev-
ans are neatly written and fairly
well worded, but there is no doubt in
the mind Of Superintendent Baily
that all the letters are written by the
same person.
The following is a copy of "no-
tice' pinned on the door Of the
kitchen at the Evans home one day
last week.
Notice
"Nora Mason
tell you to leave this place soon
i say that you must stop going with
that Cotton say 60 mean it if you
don't go you will wish you had i
have been letting you rest up to see
what you would do say leave and
that soon i cannot stand it so take
warming
ga friend to you''
81 tack this on your door,
In letter received by Cotton his
life was threatened if he persisted in
paying attention to the Mason girl
This was received in September. The
writer stated that he was in this
city and that he would disguise him
self and kill both Cotton and Miss
Mason. He added that he would be
safe in doing this as he would never
be discovered.
In a letter to Mr.. Dilks the writer
said that Mr.. Dilks was considered to
be a friend to the colored race and
that he would prove himself to be if
he separated the Mason girl from
Cotton. He then declared that he
was passionately in love with Miss
Mason and said that all he wanted
in this life was his "sweet little
girl" In another part he referred
to her as his "baby."
To add to the mystery of the af-
fair the letters are written in a feni-
nine hand, even the "notice,' - which
gives the impression that it was writ
ten purposely careless and with the
left hand. The Mason girl was for
merly married to Joe Burrell and is
considered one of the handsomest
colored women in this vicinity. She is
"A years of age, ) feet 6 inches in
height and weighs about 135 pounds.
When last seen she wore a black
walking skirt black jacket, black
hat and furs.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. James Drew are
ignorant of her whereabouts. Wheth-
er she Is party to conspiracy to
get away from Cotton or whether She
has fallen a victim to the autaor of
the anonymous letters Is the mystery
the police will have to solve. She
has always borne an excellent repu-
tation.

COMES FROM THE TICKS.
Alleged Origin of Spotted Fever of
the Rockies,

Several surgeons of the marine hos
pital service claim to have practically
demonstrated as fact that the terri
bic spotted fever Of the Rocky Noun
tains is caused by the infections OF
ticks says the Washington Star. The
discovery, If further experiments show
1t to be positive, is most important
one, and the marine hospital service is
awaiting results with deep interest.
The spotted fever is especially viru-
lent In the Montana mountains, al
though it is we'll known in many other
sections. The victims become fearfully
and wonderfully spotted during the
course Of the disease, which is fatal
in large number Of instances.
There has been a widespread belief
for years that the fever was caused by
the piroplasma carried by ticks, as the
fever always appeared during the tick
season. Physicians have disputed this
view, however.
In April last Surgeon General Wy
man Of the marine hospital service de-
tailed DR.. King and DR.. Ricketts, to
conduct a most careful examination.
They have reported that their expert
ments indicate that the tick is at the
bottom Of the disease. In their report
they state that the fatality from the
disease was too great to Justify expert
ments with human subjects and they
were compelled to resort to animals
They found that guinea pigs and mon
keys were susceptible to the disease to
direct incubation with the blood Of
fever patients. The typically fatal dis
ease was frequently produced in ami
mails in this way
TO test the tick Infection theory DR..
W. w. King procured four ticks-one
male and three females-and sent
them to Washington. The male tick
dled in transit. The three ticks that
were left alive We're placed upon
guinea pig suffering with spotted
fever. They remained until the animal
died, two days and a half later. The |
ticks showed some enlargement. Nine |
days after removal from the guinea |
pig the ticks We're placed upon a I
healthy guinea pig. One was killed |
by the pig, but the others remained /
until they dropped off in five days.
Three days after this the guinea
pig began to show symptoms of fever,
all being Of the nature of a spotted
Fever patient The pig died. The pig
vas kept in a separate cage from other
Digs. Another pig was inoculated from
he hearts blood of the tick infected
Dig and sickened and died.
