TALE Of STRUGGLED
JEWELS
MEXICAN LANDOWNER, HIS
WIFE AND HIS VALET TROU-
BLED-NEW YORK CUSTOMS
OFFICERS HEAR OF GEMS.

New York, May 5.-In the inner
itance of Senior del Villar, land
owner of Mexico, was mortgage for
$4,000 on an ancient hacienda near
the city of Mexico. Senior del Villar
needed about this amount OF money,
and he called on the mortgagor for
a settlement. The mortgagor had
some fine antique jewelry of Euro
pean make, which he offered to Senior
del Villar in lieu of cash. The an
tiques were accepted by the senior.
Their value in American money is
said to be close to $4,000.
These jewels, in the possession of
their owner and sonora, who gives
the name of Anralia Calderone, arriv-
ed on Saturday from Vera Cruz
aboard the Ward line Moro Castle
and were not declared. Also aboard
the Moro Castle was Joseph NADIA
riaga, who came as the valet Of the
senior, and had expectations of dispos-
ing OF the jewels here for him for
$4,000.
Surveyor Clarkson got a tip on
Monday that the jewels had arrived
and he assigned two men to find them
and the owner. They found the Senior
del Villar and the sonora who had
accompanied him from Mexico had
gone to the Seville. Customs Agent
Sagel met the senior in the lobby on
Tuesday. Sagel asked to see the
jewelry and the senior said the man
who had the best part of them, re-
ferring to Madariaga, was at the Hoff-
man House. He agreed to show the
part he had, and they went into the
ladies' sitting room and the senior
produced half of the combination
necklace bracelet, the whole of which
he said he would part with for $1,000.
Sagel then told del Villar that. he
would have to accompany him to the
custom house Sagel took the jewel
ry. Del Villar was paroled in the GUS
tody of the secretary of the Mexican
consul.
The customs agents then started
out to find Madaraiga. They learned
that he went to the Providence Loan
association and pawnei a bracelt for
$40. On Wednesday evening Sagel
found Sonora Calderon the she
brought forth the bracelet which the
pawned piece fitted. 1t was said that
she had the bracelet concealed in her
stocking. The sonora was much dis
turbed and wept. She was requested
to appear with Senior del Villar and
Madariaga at the customs house this
afternoon and tell all she knew about
the case.
The three were parolei in charge
of the secretary of the Mexican con-
sui for another hearing.

AWAY
WOMACK, GOLD DISCOVERER,
NOW POOR AND HELPLESS
FOUNDER OF CRIPPLE CREEK
SOLD HIS RIGHTS FOR SONG.

Colorado Springs, May 5.-Robert
Womack, ''the father of Cripple
Creek" is helpless with paralysis and
penniless in a cottage in this city.
But there, tossing feverishly under
the restraint of his affliction, Bob
Womack lies day in and day out pray
ing for the day that he shall be made
whole, when he shall be able to Shout
der a miners pick again and go forth
into the rock-ribbed hills to discov-
er another Cripple Creek.
Womack confidently expects the
day to come when he will be able to
tap another stream of gold that will
give to the world millions. He de-
clares, and his friends believe him,
that he knows where there is an
enormous deposit of gold ore in the
Pixies peak region that will rival the
great Cripple Creek district.
Robert Womack's father, now al
most 80 years old, came to Colorado
in the early Cos and engaged in min
ing in small way with varying sue
cess. In the early 70s he came to
Colorado Springs and homesteaded a
tract of government land south of
the city in the Fountain valley. There
the father and sons, William and Rob-
ert, embarked in the cattle raising
business. After a time they transfer
red their small herd to the hills AMI
valleys of the Cripple Creek district;
but 10 years later disposed Of their
stock. Bob, believing that that region
possessed mining possibilities, re-
NAMED and did some prospecting for
mineral on his own account. His
brother and father meanwhile re-
turned to their old home south of
Colorado Springs.
First Traces of Gold.
One day after a few years of I'M
rewarded search Bob found traces of
gold in a piece of flat rock which he
had picked up while riding the range
with his brother-in-law, Theodore
Lowe. Sending Lowe to an assayer in
Denver on a six-day horseback trip to
have the piece of rock tested, Bob
went on about his work, little dream
ing of what was in store for him
when his companion returned.
A few days later Lowe came gal

his opportunity, handed Womack a

VOTE, He SAYS
FORMER SUPERVISOR MAMIOCK
APPEARS AGAINST CALHOUN
FURTHER EFFORTS TO M
PEACH WITNESSES.

San Francisco, May 5.-Attempts
on the part of the defense to impeach
the witnesses brought by the prose-
cution in the Calhoun bribery trial
were resumed today when former
Supervisor Max Mamlock was called
to the stand. During Mamlock's tes-
timony Earl Rogers, who took up
the burden of the defense, periodic
ally arose to allege a difference in
the testimony of the witness and the
transcript of his statements during
the grand jury investigation.
While On the stand Mamlock &C
knowledged that he had received ST.
600 in currency for his vote upon
the trolley franchise. The money,
he said, came from Gallagher, who
took it from a deposit box. He stated
that he had been given to understand
that there would be $4,000 in the
trolley deal.
In reply to a question, MamlOck
admitted that had Gallagher in
structed him to vote against the fran
4chise he would have obeyed the in
struction.
Wilson on the Stand.
Mamlock was followed by Andrew
A. Wilson, who acted as Gallagher
lieutenant on the board of supervis-
ors. Wilson's appearance on the
stand aroused the tagging interest
on both sides, as it was his first sum
mons as a witness since the second
trial of TREY L. Ford. Upon this
occasion, it was said, the district at
| torney's Office declare he had refused
| to repeat important testimony he ha6
previously given and was subsequent
| ly indicted, his immunity contrac
having been revoked Although Will
son has never been tried on the in
dictment it is still in effect and i
was not known positively whethel
or not he would testify as witness
