inst, when Keys received a letter
from the postmaster in Warren coun-
ty, that William had arrived at home
and was telling a very mysterious and
improbable story about the disappear
ance OF Fisher, which induced the
community there to suppose he had
been disposed Of unfairly. Keys made
this letter public, which Immediately
set the whole town and adjoining
country agog. And so 1t has contin-
ued until yesterday.
The mass of the people commenced
systematic search for the dead body,
while Wickersham was dispatched to
arrest Henry Traitor at the Grove, and
Jim Maxcy to Warren to arrest vii.
liam On Monday last, Henry was
brought In, and showed an evident In
clination to insinuate that he knew
Fisher to be dead, and that Archibald
and William had killed him, He said
he guessed the body could be found
In Spring creek, between the Boards.

the people swept like herd Of buffa

of the pond. and then went up and
down, and down and up the creek, fish
ing and raking, and raking and duck

after all, no dead body found. In the
meantime a sort of scufiling-ground
had been found In the brush in the
angle, or point, where the road lead
ing into the woods past the brewery,
and the one leading in past the brick
grove met. From the battle-ground
was the sign Of something about the
size of man having been dragged

emily very unwell; that he asked him
how he had come from Springfield:
that Fisher said he had come by Peo-
ria, which showed that he at the time
OF speaking did not know where he
had been wandering about in a state
OF arrangement. He further stated
that In about two hours he received
note from one of Traitors friends ad-
vising him of his arrest and request
ing him to go on to Springfield as a
witness to testify as to the state OF
Fishers health In former times: that
he Immediately set of. calling up two

ton being made as to whether the
Doctors story was not fabrication.
several acquaintances of his (among
whom was the same postmaster who
wrote to Keys as before mentioned)
were introduced as sort Of compurga-
tors, who swore that they knew the
doctor to be a good character for
truth and veracity, and generally of
good character in every way.
Here the testimony ended, and the
Traitors were discharged, Archibald
and William expressing. both in word
and manner, their entire confidence
that Fisher would be found at the doc
tors by Galloway, Mallory and Myers,
who day before had been dispatched
for that purpose; while Henry still
protested that no power on earth could
ever show Fisher alive. Thus stands
this curious affair.
When the Doctors story was first
made public, II was amusing to scan
and contemplate the countenances,
and hear the remarks OF those who
had been actively engaged in the
search for the dead body; some looked
quizzical, some melancholy, and some
furiously angry. Porter, who had
been very active, swore he always
knew the man was not dead, and that
he had not stirred an inch to hunt for
him. Langford, who had taken the
lead In cutting down Hickox's mill
dam, and wanted to hang Hickox for
objecting, looked most awfully woebe-
gone; he seemed the victim of un-
requited affection" as represented In
the comic almanacs we used to laugh
over. And Hart, the little drayman

Springfield, June 10, 1S41.--Dear
Speed: We have had the highest state
of excitement here for a week past
that our community has ever wit
messed; and although the public feel
ing is somewhat allayed, the curious
affair which aroused II Is very far
from being over, yet cleared of mys-
terry. 1t would take quire of paper
to give you anything like full ac-
count of It, and !, therefore, only pro.
pose q brief outline.
The chief personages In the drama
are Archibald Fisher. supposed to be
murdered, and Archibald Traitor Hen
~ Traitor and William Traitor, sup
posed to have murdered him. The
three Traitors are brothers. The first,
Archibald, as you know, lives In town;
the second, Henry, in Clarys Grove;
and the third, William. In Warren
county; and Fisher, the supposed
murdered, being without family, had
made his home with william. On Sat
urday evening, being the 10Th of May,
Fisher and William came to Henry's
in one-horse dearborn, and there
stayed over Sunday; and Monday all
three came to Springfield Henry on
horseback), and Joined Archibald at
Myers, the Dutch carpenter. That
evening at supper Fisher wasmissing,
and so next morning some ineffectual
search was made for him; and on
Tuesday, at 1 o'clock D. m, William
and Henry started home without him.
in a day or two Henry and one or
two of his Clary Grove neighbors
came back for him again, and adyer-
tised his disappearance In the papers.
The knowledge of the matter thus
far had not been general, and here IL

Tended. A great many witnesses were
introduced and examined, but l shall
only mention those whose testimony
seemed most important. The first Of
these was Capt Ransdell. He swore
that, when William and Henry left
Springfield for home on Tuesday be-
fore mentioned, they. did not take the
direct route--which, you know, leads
by the butcher shop; but that they fol-
lowed the street north until they got
opposite, or nearly opposite, Mays
house, after which he could not see
them from where he stood; and 1t was
afterwards proved, that. In about an
hour after they started, they came
into the street by the butchers shop
from towards the brick-yard. DR.. Mer-
ryman and others swore to what Is
stated about the scuffie-ground, drag.
trail. whiskers and carriage tracks.
Henry was then introduced by the
prosecution. He swore that, when they
started for home, they went out north,
as Ransdell stated, and turned down
west by the brick.yard into the woods,
and there met Archibald; that they
proceeded small distance further,
when he was placed as a sentinel to
watch for and announce the approach
of anyone that might happen that
way; that William and Arch. took the
dearborn out OF the road small dis
where they stopped, and he saw them
lift the body of a man into 1t; that
they moved off with the carriage in
the direction of Hiclcox's mill, and he
loitered about for something like an
hour, When William returned with the
carriage, but without Arch, and said
they had put him In a safe place; that
they went somehow. he did not know
exactly how, into the road close to the
brewery, and proceeded on to Clary's
Grove. He also stated that some
time during the day William ted him
that he and Arch. had killed Fisher
the evening before; that the way they
did It was by him (William) knocking
him down with club, and Archibald
then choking him to death.
An old man from Warren. called DR.
Gilmore, was then introduced on the
part OF the defense. He swore that he
had known Fisher for several years
that Fisher had resided at his house
long time at each OF the different

WILL START DRIFT ON ALMA

Drifting is to be commenced
on the last ledge intersected by
the crosscut tunnel of the Alma
Mining property in the Mullan
section. The ledge shows sc
ounces in silver and rs per cent
lead to the ton. The tunnel has
cut two lodges which have been
crosscut for upwards of 100 feet
showing good ledge matter and
some ore all through. It is be-
lieved that comparatively little
drifting will have to be done be-
fore the two lodges unite. A
large amount of development has
been done and the showing is
said to be the most encouraging
ever made in the mine. The
property is under the manage
ment Of AL. Dawson Of Mullan.

TUCKER CO. LETS CONTRACT

Development is to be resumed
at once on the property of the
Tucker Mining company in the
Mullan section. A contract for
200 feet has been let to Julius
Johnson, Pete Oldquist and H.O.
Dahl. The consideration is en-.
tirely in stock. It is the inten-
ton to extend the main tunnel
and it is believed that the main
ledge will be encountered in
about so feet after which the bal
ance Of the contract will be taken
out in drifting. The ledge will
be tapped at a depth of about
400 feet. The tunnel is now in
$40 feet.
During the driving of this
tunnel several leads have been
encountered. At a point about
s. feet from the portal of the
tunnel and at a depth of about
so feet a 4-foot ledge carrying
copper ore which gave an aver
age assay Of 81 in copper, 81 in
lead and 81 in gold to the ton,
was exposed. Practically no
work has been done on this ledge
but it is possible that after the
main lead has been thoroughly
exploited the full value Of this
showing will be ascertained.
About 300 feet from the por-
tai of the tunnel a dozen string
ers Of high grade galena carry
ing crystalized lead and wire
silver were opened up. All these
stringers are close together and
vary from one to several inches
III width.
The face Of the tunnel is at
present in almost q solid iron
formation and although about 50
