CLAIMED BY DEATH
WHILE TRAVELLING IN
FAR SOUTHWEST
MISS MAMIE JACKSON DIES IN
MEXICO, AFTER LONG
ILLNESS.
LEFT HERE A MONTH Ago
Was a Member Of One Of The
county's WeaIthiest Families And
Had Much Property of Her
Own.

Miss Mamie Jackson. a member OF
one of the wealthiest families in
Maury county, and possessing large
property holdings in her own right
died Wednesday in Mexico, where she
had gone for her health. The re-
mains will be shipped to Mt. Pleasant
for interment, the date of the funeral
for interment.
: At the death of the late Rufus c.
Jackson he left an estate valued at
81 ,000,0 900 and probably worth consid-
erably in excess of that amount
There were four heirs Chas. S. Jack
son, James Cranberry Jackson Rufus
G. Jackson, Jr., and Miss Mamie Jack
son. The estate was involved in liti-
cation and is yet tied up in court.
Deputy Circuit Clerk Frank Smith
has this week filed his report, which
is a voluminous document of some
seventy pages, and which will come
before the chancellor on next Monday.
Whether or not the death OF one of
the heirs subsequent to the filing of
the report, and prior to its confirma
ton, will renew the litigation is a |
question that now presents itself. |
George T. Hughes, ST., is the executor
OF the Jackson estate
About one month ago Miss Jackson,
who has been in delicate health for a
number of years, left for Mexico, &C.
by Miss Lucille Irvine as
companion. 1t was hoped
that she would be materially benefit
ted by the trip, but this hope was
vain one, and she grew gradually
worse until death came. Mrs. Rufus

hours.

 SLUM WORKER

By the United Press.
 NEW YORK, June 19-Friends and relatives of Miss Elizabeth Sigel were overioyed when the police located the young lady who has been missing since the 10th of this month, and for wnom the entire force has been searching.
 Her relatives were mortified, how ever, to learn the conditions under which she was found, and although efforts were made to keep the matter secret it leaked out today and as a result the whole of Chinatown wa raided.
 Miss Sigel, who is a granddaughter of an ilustrious German warrior whose name has gone down to fame, has been engaged in slum work and the first night of her disappearance her rela- tiyes thought that she had remained at the bedside of some sick or unfor- tunate person in the tenement dis tricts
 When the third and fourth .day passed with no word from her search was instituted and yesterday evening the police found her in a drunken stupor drugged, and nearly naked, above one of the most notorious noo- dle restaurants in Chinatown.
 It was necessary for the police to force an entrance to the room where Miss Sigel was detained, and after seeing that she was not injured in any way, the inmates of the place were gathered up and placed under arrest.
 The evivdence against three promi- nent Orientals is strong, and it was learned that Miss Sigel has been re- ceiving serious attentions from Chinaman and it is believed that she reciprocated his affection.

 WASHINGTON, June 1S--It was learned this afternoon that Colonel James Strickland, a southern politician whose nome is in Arkansas ran amuck this morning near the White House and was arrested, charged with car rying a concealed weapon and acting in a suspicious manner.
 The colonel was laboring under in- t/nse mental excitement, and when Inc approached the White House he was stopped by the special police who de- handed to know his business. He r1lied that he desired an interview with the president, and when he in- sisted so emphatically the officers de- cided to arrest him.
 He seriously objected to detention and attempted to draw his revolver. II was 'onliscated by the officers, and the southerner was hustled away tc the police headquarters in a patro wagon. The weapon taken by the po- lice is a forty-fve Colts and was loaded.
 It is the belief that Col. Strickland was laboring under great mental stress or that he has lost his mind. He be- came tractable when taken to the sta ton house but has not been released An Investigation of his mental condi- ton will be made.
