the people had to give the sanction of

with no little care and trouble and
Stewart did his share. These were

lay in the way of his cherished project,
but not all of them did he see.
This first hurdle passed. after all his
work and trouble Stewart found that he
had opened the field for competitors

35 years lease he was only one of
several He had secured the backing
of bank and was all ready to carry
off the bid triumphantly, when the
financial panic swept the country and
his hackers were compelled to desert
him.
He was not expecting this, and he
only had word of it a short time before
the bids must be entered In that
short time he hurriedly canvassed the
field for a daring spirit or two willing
to take long chance for a big stake.
He found real estate man and a Nome
miner who said they would dare it.
Each of the three then put UP third of
the $4,000 deposit required and en-
tered bid of $3.50 month for the
first five years and s7,245 month for
the remaining 80 years. The total adds

The day came for the bids to be

had the lease and a big proposition to

that the banks would not touch it. He
went to every bank in the city and
found they all thought alike Of the

Chicago, Dec. 11.-A honeymoon
delayed three and half years by
the shock OF the San Francisco
earthquake and fire, was resumed
here today when William S. Meyers
told the remarkable story of how he
lost his identity during the earth
quake and how it was suddenly re-
stored recently by the horror of see
ing a man ground to death under
a train at Tama, Iowa.
Meyers who formerly was con-
tractor here, was married in April,
1906, and two days after his mar
riage was forced to take a sudden
trip to San Francisco to attend to
some business. He had worked all
night and was still at work on the
morning of the quake.
Something struck him on the
head. Meyers said today that he be-
lieVed he was sandbagged and rob
bed. When he awoke he was in a
hospital and could not remember his
identity.
Meyers bride became convinced
that he was killed in the 'qhake OF

than three years she has mourned
him as dead.
Now suddenly she has been trans
formed from the widow of three and
half years back to the bride OF
two days. who bade her bridegroom
farewell on the memorable April OF
1906.
Il have only a hazy recollection

of the dictator within a few hours
after the actual fighting begins.
The report that the soldiers will
be permitted free range when the city
is captured has created consterna-
nation in Bluefields. Every effort to
take the women and children to
places of safety is being made. 1t is
thought that zelaya's order permit
ting his men to sack the city, is in
tended to result in the establishment
of horrible example for future rev.
olutionary leaders.
The turn in affairs has ned to the
belief on the part of many persons hI
touch with Central American affairs,
that the recent reports from zelaya
that he was ready to resign, was only
part of his crafty policy and was de-
signed to lead the revolutionists into
over confidence.

known throughout the surrounding
vicinity. He arose as usual this
morning, but while preparing to go
to his place of business the mania to
kill came upon him.
Drawing a revolver from his pock.
ct, he shot his wife through the heart
When his aged mother, attracted by
the sound of the shot rushed to the
room, she was met by a fusillade of
bullets, and fell dying by the side of
her daughter-in-law. Running to his
apartments the maniac seized a razor
that lay on dressing table, and
rushed to the part of the house occu-
pied by his two little daughters and
mis- son.
Grasping the youngest child by the
hair, he drew the razor across her
throat, almost severing her head from
her body. Frantic with terror, the
other children fled from the room,
followed by Bouvier, his face spat-
tered with the blood of the little girl.
Cornering the children in another
part of the house, the crazed father
cut their throats and left them dying
on the floor. Clasping the CORY razor
in one hand, and his revolver in the
other, he rushed from the house and
ran to his Office.
In the counting room stood his eld-
est daughter and the chief clerk.
When he leveled the revolver at the
defenseless girl, the clerk sprung to
ward him, and received a bullet
through his chest.
Leaping over the PROSTATE body or
the man Bouvier shot his daughter
twice through the head, killing her
instantly. He then placed the gun
against his right temple and blew out
his brains.
The bodies of the seven victims
and that of the murderer were taken
in charge by the authorities, and re-
moved to the Marseilles morgue.

New Orleans, Dec. 11.-Zelaya's
army, strengthened by several hun
dred recruits from the interior, are
marching on Bluefelds today, accord
ing to a dispatch from that place.
The city is said to be panic-stricken.
Estrada has thrown out his out
posts to meet the attacking army, but
it is rumored that the revolutionary
force is inferior in numbers to the
army Zelaya has mobiliZed.
Estrada sympathizers apparently
are obessed with fear that the city
is doomed to fall into the possession
of the Zelayans. All that will save
the city, they claim, is the landing Of
marines from the American war
ships.
Reports from the vicinity hereto.

fore have indicated that the reVolu-
tionists were superior in numbers
and equipment to the dictator's
troops. 1t is known, however, that
Zelaya's agents have been exceeding
ly active during the last two weeks,
and many conscripts have been added
to their ranks.
For more than two weeks Zelaya's
army has been lying in the vicinity
of Rama. Estrada's forces, expecting
an attack, had erected fortihcations
and dug trenches about town, which
were interspersed with tangles of
barbed wire. Several minor engage
ments about Rama, in which the rev.
olutionists were signal victorious led
the defenders to believe that the die
tator was planning massed attacked
Ia the near future.
That Zelaya was covering his actu-
al intent to move upon Bluef1elds Is
now evident. The defenders of the
city are said to have been woefully
weakened by the removal of most
of their forces to Rama, where it was
! believed Zelawaya would center his
attack. The cunning of the former
president was Illustrated by his stra-
tegic move upon Bldefields. CourieTs
have been dispatched to Rama bear
ing news of the impending attack IT
is deemed doubtful that they can
break through the line Zelaya is re-
/, ported to have thrown in the van of
his main army.
Zelaya's army, numbering 1000
men, is expected to be within rife
range of Bluefields by tonight, and

! Hundreds or women and children,
including many Americans. have been
rushed aboard the American battle
ships in the harbor for protection.
Runners from the interior brought
the first news of the Zelayan army's
advance upon the threatened city.
Estrada, according to their reports,
was completely outwitted by the un-
expected movement of the Zelayans
and it VIII be several hours before re-
Inducements can be rushed to Blue
Eelds.
/ General Vasquez's negotiations
with the revolutionists yesterday near
Rama, In which ne intfmated that he
might surrender If ne was given gen.
ewOus terms, is now believed to have
been a part OF the strategy the die
tator planned
Senor AItshul. Zelaya's consular
representative here is reported to
have informed his chief of the help
less situation OF the defenders Of
Bluefheids, resulting from an error in
the shipping OF consignment OF
Remington cartridges and Mauser
rifles. This fatal mistake is believed
to have caused Zelaya's determination
to switch the center OF his attack
from Rama to Bluefields.
Zelaya's troops are said to be
primed and eager for thb encounter.

rations.
