.REDDING MYSTERY
IS REVIVED AGAIN

DETROIT, Mich, April 14.-Mrs.
Mary LaPorte brought Mrs. NJ. Red
ding's $500 worth of personal proper
ty to Amherstburg, Ont, yesterday
and the Ontario authorities are in
vestigating at the request OF the New
Mexico authorities, Mrs. Redding
having been found dead under pecul-
lar circumstances at Deming, N NJ.
The above telegram came to the
FL Paso Herald yesterday from the
Detroit Journal and has reference to
the death of Mrs. NJ. Redding at Dem
ing on the night of April 2. In view
of the fact that the announcement
comes from Deming that the case IS
considered settled there and that
there is no mystery surrounding it
the Detroit dispatch deepens the mys-
terry. The woman under surveillance
is said in Deming to be a niece of
the dead woman. The Deming Head
light declares that no mystery sur
rounds the death Of Mrs. Reddlng
and that she died a natural death.
The Headlight In a long article de-
clares that the two young women
that were with her in Douglas were
her nieces who had accompanied her
from Canada and that she was not
accompanied by q Deming man, but
had merely been assisted from the
Bisbee daily review., 1908-04-16

train by a man she met while en-
route to Deming from e Paso. The
Headlight says:
Mrs. Redding had recently re-
turned to this country from Canada
and was accompanied on her return
by her two nieces, Mrs. Frances
Claire and Mrs. Mary LaPorte, both
of Ontario, Canada They remained
in Ell Paso, while Mrs. Redding came
on here to prepare for their coming a
day or two later.
Mrs. Redding, when she left FL
Paso, was sick or in some kind o. a
stupor that prevented her from know
ing anything that was going on and
the conductor had to open her satchel
and get her ticket, as she was unable
to understand what was wanted She
seemed to revive somewhat before
raching Deming and asked a man on
the train, j. w. Irwin, to help her in
getting off here. This he did, as he
was getting OF himself, and as they
were proceeding along the platform
toward the waiting room the woman
fell and was assisted to arise by Mr..
Irwin and DR.. Glaze, who is well
known here. She was taken to the
waiting room and left there, and Mr..
Irwin, after, finding that he could not
obtain a roo.: - s--o Harvey house,
came up town and took a room at the
Victoria. After sitting in the waiting
room a few moments, Mrs. Redding
started, as she said, to a house of
friend who lived near the depot, and
was found the next morning dead,
face downward in a small puddle of
water, into which she had presumably
fallen becoming unconscious, and
drowned.
"A coroner's jury was at once en-
pannelled, and after careful inyesti-
cation of the facts, rendered verdict
OF accidental drowning
MIR. Irwin in the mean time had
arisen early and gone some miles into
the country on the business that
brought him to Deming and had not
learned that the woman was dead.
Search being made for him and he
not being found at once the rumor
started that he had taken the wo-
mans money, and thrown her into the
mud hole. Mr.. Irwin returned that
evening and as soon as he learned
that he was wanted he went at once
to Justice of the Peace Cooke Chap
man and stated what he knew of the
woman and showed papers of refer
ences that at once precluded any
thought of his having any connection
with the matter other than as stated.
AS a matter Of fact the voman's
purse and watch were found on her
body by the officers.
CAS- soon as the nieces of the de-
ceased heard of the death of their
aunt, they came on from FL Paso and
stated that Mrs. Redding was in the
habit of using morphine and other
medicines Of like character, and that
this had probably caused her to fall
as she did. For when she was stimu-
lated with the dope she was in "a
very nervous and shaky condition.

RECORD
PROVES 1T.

All men who have taken the trouble
to make a careful, impartial investiga-
tion have become convinced that the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Compa-
ny Is in a class all by itself when the
matter OF caring for the interests of
its members or policy holders are con-
ord Of all life insurance companies can
be obtained by any who desire the In
formation, and a comparison Of any or
all Of them with the Mutual Benefit
shows that none have furnished as
much for the money paid as has the
Mutual Benefit. 1t has always been
conservative, economical and at the
same time more liberal than others In
the matter of guarantees. Its new pol
cies have caused would-be competitors
everywhere to sit up and take notice.
The new contract Is so liberal that even
experienced insurance men are amazed,
and had company without so long and
clean a record-63 years-for carrying
out every agreement 1t ever made to
the letter, offered such contracts they
would have been inclined to doubt its
ability, but they all know that the Mu-
tual Benefit never leaps before 1t looks.
You have perfect right to buy life in
but there Is not q shadow Of doubt OF
the fact that IL you look into the Mu-
tual Benefit and compare 1t with others
that you will enlist in its army Of 187,-
500 members.

Lenoir Topic: Mr.. T. S. Setter,
of Edgemont, was here attending court
last week and related to the Topic man
an incident which is indeed marvel
Gus and it seems utterly incapable of
explanation. Messrs. Jack Caldwell
and Lee Pierce. also of Edgemont,
were present and bore witness to the
accuracy of Mr.. Setzer's statement.
During the night of February Is there
fell a seven-inch snow. In the early
morning, within an hour after the
snow ceased to fall, a ten-acre field,
three-quarters of mile northeast of
Edgemont, was found to be literally
covered with worms They were ly
ing on the surface of the snow and
were alive and were all of same spe-
cies, being from one-quarter to one
and ne-quarter inches long, and haV-
ing the appearance of ordinary cut
worms, with which all farmers are
familiar. During the day there were
from twenty to twenty-five people
from the neighborhood who came to
witness the remarkable scene. Birds
came in large flocks to partake of the
food that was so marvelously provided
for them. Where the worms came
from is still mystery. They could not
have come from the ground as it was
frozen several inches deep. 1t is not
possible that they were blown there by
a wind because there had not been
even a slight breeze from the time
the snow ceased falling till the worms
were discovered. Where did the
worm, come from? Will any one
venture an explanation?

- Columbia, March Z: The supreme
court today affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the case Of Daniel Zim
norman, and the defendant will now
have to go to the penitentiary for the
term Of three years. The case is IA
miliar to the public and is one of the
Saddest that has been recorded in
South Carolina courts. For years a
trusted clerk in the office of the state
treasurer, under three treaSurers, Mr.
Zimmerman, man Of excellent family
q gallant Confederate soldier and
prominent member Of the church, was
accused of purloining from the state
treasury certain state bonds and max
ing false entries on the books to cover
up the theft. This was discovered
about four years ago. Last March he
was arraigned IN the court Of general
sessions for Richland county on the
charge of forgery and pleaded guilty,
and in the case against his alleged con-
spirator T. j. Gibson, was a voluntary
witness for the state, explaining in de-
tail the manner in which the bonds
were stolen by himself and put on the
market through Gibson. On his plea of
guilty Mr.. Zimmerman was sentenced
by Judge Prince to three years in the
penitentiary at such labor as he can
reasonably perform" but an appeal was
taken to the supreme court and since
that time Mr. Zimmerman has remain
ed at his home in Columbia.
