HORRIBLE Crime
STIRS SAVANNAH.
TWO WOMEN SLAIN and ANOTHER
FATALLY WOUNDED NEGRO SUS-
PECTED As The MURDERER.

Savannah, Ga December ~
Victims of Il rcIoltln- crime, Mrs
Eliza GribbIe, a4cI ~ Years, and
her daughter, Mrs Carrie Ohiander,
wer" founG dead ~ Their home, here,
TODAY. while Il third woman, Mrs
Maggie Hunter, aged 32, found
Just inside the front door of the
house, is at the Savannah hospital
dying.
Physicians state that Mrs Oh.
lander was the victim Of a criminal
assault Just before she was killed
The police believe that a negro,
seem 'kng about the premises
styera 5 before the crime was
commit, =, Is The guilty party, and
thai, using an axe taken from the
woodshed in the rear of the Gribble
home, he beat Mrs Gribble to
death, struck down Mrs Hunter,
and after assaulting Mrs Ohlander
in the wide, long hall way, where
the bodies were found, finished his
terrible work by beating in her
skull with the weapon.
Mrs Gribble evidently was at
tackled from behind, as she sat in
an easy chair reading. On the
floor, beside her body, were found
the newspaper she was reading and
her spectacles. One, or possibly
two, blows were dealt her. Her grey
hair, blood matted, shows the
imprint of the blunt axe.
1t is probable that Mrs Hunter
was the first to be struck down;
that she met the murderer. at the
door as he entered and was struck
before she could escape.
Then the murderer, stealthily
approaching aged Mrs Gribble,
killed her. 1t is believed that Mrs
Ohlander was attacked as she left
her room to enter the hall way. and
was assaulted and killed. Mrs
Hunters skull was crushed IN and
her death is matter of but few
hours.
Other theories are entertained
by searchers for the +. rrderer, but
the police are proceed g on the
theory that negro man :, guilty.
Many entertain the and
feeling is intense here Use of
1t.
Bloodhounds have been at work
in an effort to take the trail from
the woodshed where the axe was
found by the murderer, bnt as the
house of murders is almost within
the heart of the city and as the
murders were probably committed
several hours before the discovery
of the bodies, the dogs will be of
little use.
Tonight Mayor Tiedemann. of
Savannah, offered a reward of ST.
600 for the capture with evidence to
convict of the slayer of Mrs Gribble
and Mrs Ohlander, and the as
sailant of Mrs Maggie Hunter,
who was not identified for hours
after the discovery of the murders.

LIBERTY BELL.

Early last fall Fred Crete of this
place became interested in a prospect
at the old town Of Wagon-town, and in
connection with Harry Townsend put
in last fall and this spring in inyesti-
eating the prospect.
The same claim was located over 40
years ago, and shaft sunk to some
depth, aud from some cause afterwards
filled up. Since that time the property
has changed hands several times. The
Mills Hotel formerly stood on the
ground covered by the claim and Mrs
Mills held the ground by having the
assessment work done for the express
purpose of holding the location for the
hotel, not thinking that the ledge car
ried values Of any great extent.
The work done by the present owners,
Crete and Townsend. has shown that
the property is Of immense value being
very rich in silver and of good values
in gold They have not yet been able
to cross cut the vein, but have taken
out several tons of ore aud have sacked
considerable for shipment which will
be taken to the Middleton refinery
works for treatment The assays run
away up in the hundreds of dollars,
and the ore sacked for shipment will
bring about $1OO or more per ton.
Specimens shown US, that have been
burnt in forge show blisters of silver
and gold in great quantities, which is
sure test that the values are in the
rock. Preparations are being made
for extensively working the property
in the near future.

loud in his praises of the Grandview
country which he considers one of the

do well there. Many fruit trees were
planted this spring, however.
The Grandview canal, which is owned
by Iowa people, irrigates about 5000 acres
but is capable Of irrigating $4,000 acres.
The new company recently organized to
operate in that section, viii probably
make use of this canal for part of its pur-
poses though it will put in pumping
plant for the purpose of raising water to
to be sent across the Snake river to lands
on the north side of that stream.

When the train arrived at Mackay
they wanted an undertaken instead
Of witnesses and attorneys.
Nearly two years ago Mr.. Freeman
came to Mackay and posed as q mem
Der Of some family near Houston
whose name we have forgotten. The
lady OF the house had son or two.
and q band of cattle, One .1orning
the woman was III. and Freeman gave
her some medicine. She died in q
few hours, and some time III tersbur.al
the body was exhuned. and an exam

fore Justice Kilgore. The evidence
was not conclusive and Freeman was
acquitted. 50
He was recently arrested on

POTATO KING IN TOWN
1 (Left over from last week.

CLeIL over from last week.
Joe Taylor the man who raises "a
few spuds" was down from his ranch
at Taylor Monday, and OF course we
pried into his business affairs pro
bono publico. & 9s.g
He planted 900 acres OF potatoes
last year and sold $4,000 bushels at
an average price Of ST.U8 per hundred
pounds. The market grew better as
spring advanced, and the last thirteen
cars he sold went AZ $1.85. One OF
his best sellers is the Rural Number
Two. but he has several good variet-
les, and keeps his stock up to stand
ard 80 that he can supply seed to 9TH
ers wanting to get the right start. He
says 1t pays to have well bred seed
potatoes the same as 1t pays to have
well bred horses and attic. That life
Is too short to be spent cultivating q
scrub potato that does not grow to
anything salable in good growing
weather. It costs as much to pillow and
plant q scrub potato as good one,
and the difference in the proceeds of
the field is something enormous.
Mr.. Taylor did not authorize us to
say that he will have seed potatoes
for sale next spring, but If you ad-
dress him at Idaho Falls you can find
out what he has.

HANDLING MAIL RAPIDLY
How it is Accomplished at the Larg.
est Electrical Plant in the
World

I
In all large plants the handling OF
mail matter, blue prints and shop or
ders Is of very great Importance,
speed and safe delivery being essen
tial. Boys cannot be trusted with this
work and for men to carry the mail
from building to building is too labor
ious and slow. Overhead carrier sys-
TENS are out of the question where
the plant is spread over large acre
age.
At the Schenectady plant of the
Electric Company, where tons
and tons of mail are handled every
month and the shop orders and blue
prints for 10000 employees run up in
to the millions, a pneumatic tube sys-
tenn Shoots" the mail from the diff
ferent Offices to the mailing depart
ment and to the various buildings
throughout the works. Large auto
hurry the mail matter to and
from the city post Office.
The steel tubes are laid under
ground and the carriers are shot
through them by compressed air.
Small motors keep continual supply
