WAS JEALOUS.

Because his wife refused to come
and sleep with him after he had abused
her in a fit of jealous anger, Henry
Bentley cut her throat and then his
own with razor on Sunday night
and both are dead.
Bentley and his wife and four children
have been living on claim in the Tur-
tie mountains, about twenty miles from
st. Johns, which is at the end of the
Rolla branch, and it is said that there
had been bad feeling between the pair
for some time and that the only rea.
son that the woman was living with
Bentley was so that they would be able
to retain their rights to the claim.
On Sunday some neighbors came in
and played cards with the Bentleys
and Bentley got exceedingly jealous
of the man who was playing partner
with his wife. After the guests had
gone Bentley began to abuse his wife
and she finally refused to go to bee
with him making up bed for herself
on some chairs.
Bentley ordered her to come to be6
with him and she refused and he got
his razor and told her that if she did
not come he would cut her throat.
On her still refusing he slashed hel
across the throat severing the jugula1
vein and she expired in a few minutes
Bentley then gashed his own throa
and then running out he threw the
razor into we'll.
Bentley died in about six hours
The whole affair was witnessed by {

Uvalde. Tex, Jan. 81, 'O9.
Owing to the fact that 1 was inter-
rupted and not being able to finish
this letter last evening and as we had
to catch the train this morning for the
west and as we wished to stop here I
will finish this my little story and tell
you what saw here and between here
and San Antonio. There is only one
town between here and San Antonio
that amounts to anything and that is
Sabanal, pronou C ed, Sab-an-al.
There is nice valley around the town
that is good, but most OF the country
between here and San Antonio is
rough and .gravelly.s. This is a beauti-
full place of about three thousand peo-
pie. The land is level and good for
several miles around the town and one
nice thing here, they have excellent
water. They find water here of a fine
quality alta reasonable depth.
It looks peculiar here to see three or
four hundred bee stands sitting right
out in the edge of the woods most any
where. There we're three million
pounds of honey shipped out of this
county last year.
I meet northern people down here
every day who come down to recuper-
ate and they invariably get fat and all
right-of course, I mean people that
have vitality enough left to regain
their health I don't mean people who
are already for the grave. 1 can say
for myself that the climate here has
increased my appetite wonderfully
A northern man can come down here
most anywhere and stay all winter
and be benefited by it. Now as we
leave here on the 1890 train tomorrow
will have to bring my little song to
a close.
believe told you in my last letter
that you wouldn't hear from me until
I got to Deming, New Mexico, but, o.
course, l changed my mind. Now
will bid you good by, promising yo,
that you will hear from me again
Oh! Boys, the sunshine here is fine
and the roads are like boulevard
everywhere.
Remaining respectfully,
! CHAS. E. HICKS.

that Rugby people are now
for anything. Jones victims
are numbered by the score, and they
are from Wall street as we'll as the
country districts. Late information
indicates that Jones decided to make
a grand cleanup, and it is estimated
that he took with him when he left
Rugby from s1OO, 900 to 100000
Bankers, who are usually supposed
to be the shrewdest class of money
handlers, compose the largest share
of the victims OF Jones. Jones brought
in his final shower of gold with a sheep
company which he Incorporated. The
only sheep connected with the deal
were those who invested in the stock.
A ST. Paul banker purchased $4,000
worth of this stock. Scores of others
invested smaller amounts. The extent
of his operations in this class OF worth
less securities will only be know when
the victims report their losses.
Caught Even Wall Street.
A New York national bank, known
all over the country, has $22, 900 worth
of jones' promissory notes which he
negotiated by endorsing them as
cashier of the Rugby National. A
Wisconsin banker arrived in Rugby
yesterday with SIG, ,250 of this class of
notes. This banker stated that he had
sold $20, 900 worth of stock in Jones
sheep company which was to yield big
returns. Jones traded him mill at
Campbell, Mimi, which the banker
never saw, but he plans to look it over
on his return home.
A banker from a Minnesota town
arrived with s25,000 worth of Jones'
securities. In the bunch were notes
which had been signed by men who
had been employed in Jones' stables
and who could not go good for $50.
The notes ranged from $1,000 to
$25, 900.
May Hold Bank for Notes.
There is wide difference of opinion
among lawyers as to whether the notes
signed by Jones as an individual and
endorsed by him as cashier, but not OF
record in the bank, will hold the Rugby
National. It is understood that law
yers arepreparing to attack this ruling
of Receiver Swords in the courts. Il
the courts hold that the bank must make
good the amount of the notes endorsed
and not of record the assets of the bank
will be more than wiped out. The
notes of this character will total hun.
dreds of thousands Of dollars. One o.
the bitterest legal fights in the history
of the state is predicted.

here to open the Gunnison tunnel
he should be given a crowbar and

SEVERAL fellows with bulging
brows have invented guns and
other machines for destroying
airships. These fellows are labor
ing under the hallucination that
airships are to become a danger
Gus war machine. From all that
we have ever read about the oper-
alton of airships, it appears that
they are dangerous enough, but
nobody is menaced except the
lunatic who trusts his carcass to
their tender mercies. The fellow
who keeps his feet on the ground
is in no danger from an airship

where one of them chances to

A DENVER paper INDUCED in

the reason why the government
removed $37O.OOO.OOO in gold
from the mint in San Francisco
to that in Denver. 1t doesn't
matter whether it was fear of Jap
anese invasion or fear OF thieves
because of injury to the building
by the earthquake. The real
question is why should Uncle
Sam keep that amount of money
out of circulation. Whenever the

THE English language is per-

but it is sometimes stretched be-
yond the comprehension of ordi-
nary people. An editorial in a
Denver daily commenting on the
assininity of the mother-in-law
gag perpetrated persistently by a
certain class of actors, says that
the comedian makes his work as
bromidic as possible" Most of
US have had more or less exper-
ience with certain bromides the
next morning, but just what sort
of work an actor could perpetrate
which could be termed "bromidic"
is not dazzling because of its
perspicuity. Our vocabulary may
be limited, doubtless it is but the

AN Englishman who has made

for purposes of investigating says
there are no children in America.
There are small women and large
women small men and large men.
but no girls and boys. Instead
of having nurseries and playrooms
in which young humanity is to
spend a long period of infancy,
we have the youngsters associat-
ing with their elders, imbibing
ideas and assimilating methods of
the elders and thus becoming
mature before their time. There
may be, and doubtless is. some
truth in all this. The average
American kicks loose his swad-
ding cloths pretty early in his
career, but we haven't discovered
any calamity in the fact. The re-
cords fail to show that the aver
age American can't hold his own
with people who attain maturity
latter in life. The complaint has
always been that he is prone to
overreach the other fellow in al
most any deal he makes. 1t is
worth a thought that at least
ninety per cent of the inventions
having world wide utility. brought
out during the last seventy years,
are of American origin. Prema-
ture maturity doesn't seem to be
specially disastrous in this case.

Walford met LINCOLN face to face on
the Bowery in 1854 while the latter
was attending a mission meeting.
Walford, who stood feet 2h inches,
was presiding. When Lincoln walked
in his resemblance to Walford was so
striking that they were taken for
brothers. They were introduced and
remained friends until Lincoln's death.
The great president at one time gave
