SIGuT-GENERAL CLEANING
Up AND LETTING N OF LIGHT
WANTED BY SHAREHOLDERS

District Attorney c. r. Reeves yes
terday announced that his services
had been rendered to the stockhold-
ers of the Dolly Warden Copper Co.
and that he would be in attendance at
the meeting tomorrow afternoon at
the office of Binford & Hulse.
4 telegram from G. l.. Richard has
been received which indicates that
he may be in the city this evening
II he does not arrive then he will
probably be here on Monday. Mr..
Richards presence looks to be de-
sirable, for reports were in eireula-
ton Yesterday that endeayor would
probably be made by certain inter
ests to hold him responsible TO the
stockholders.
by some of the latter the belief
was declared that Mr.. Richard would
very promptly whip Things into line
upon his arrival and that the prop
erty would be retained for the ben
eft of the stockholders through the
upsetting of the transaction by which
il passed to Fulmer & Ives. How
this would be done was not stated.
The sensation made by the affair
has lessened none and the meeting
tomorrow promises to be warm af-
fair. 1t is limited that there may be
sensational developments and that
the vista opened by the Warden af-
fair may broaden TO an extent that
will involve several other transac-
tions covering the organization and
conduct OF other companies.
The Warden stockholders who have
expressed themselves are unanimous
~ In favor OF a general cleaning up
and washing OF linen. Several who
talked about the matter last night
declared the belief that everybody
interested In mining in the district
should be present at the meeting on
Sunday afternoon and hear whatever
may be brought ont. Inasmuch as
the affair has gone to the present
length they feel that for the best in
terests of the district II should be

carried out to the limit and with the
full knowledge of everybody. They
argue that otherwise the district will
receive a black eye, while the way
will be thrown open to repetitions of
the Dolly Warden affair, to the seri-
Gus detriment of every property
owner in the district, by reason of
the increased difficulty which will be
brought about in the securing of
money for the furtherance of legi-
innate propositions.

While bond issues are commanding

with issues during the week, which
they have taken up rapidly Yester-
day they were given new one, the

OTTUMWA WOMAN.
KNEW ASSASSIN.
AcToR-MURDERER OF LINCOLN
WELL KNOWN BY MRS. D. r.
EMERSON so YEARS AGO.
RECALLS QUAR- R E L
Alteration In Hotel in Albany, N. ",
Where Actor Was Stabbed by
Woman of His Company
Father Ran Hosiery.

Now that the name Of the great
emancipation, Abraham Lincoln, Is the
subject on every tongue, and the Incl,
dents of the life of the war president
are being told and retold by the press
of the entire country, it has been
found that an Ottumwa woman, Mrs.
D. F. Emerson, remembers well man,
the bearer of name that will always
be spoken with bitter memory for
the part he played in the history of
the country. The act robbed America
Of it's beloved son, Abraham Lincoln.
The man Is John Wilkes Booth, the
actor assassin, who April IA, 1865,
committed a murder that shocked the
entire world.
The recollection of the famous actor
murderer takes one back over forty
four years to hotel in Albany, N. y,
where Booth and his company when
playing in that city always put up dur
ing their stay. The hotel, known as
Stanwix Hall, was operated by E. A.
Gay, father Of Mrs. Doc Frank Elmer
son, who, with her husband, resides
at 3U3 heOCa street.
Stabbed by Actress.
Mrs. Emerson states that she had
often seen the Booths, both Edwin and
]. Wilkes, and said that both were
very gentlemanly. Edwin the more so
Of the two; that they always played
in the very highest class theatrical
companies and were great attractions
during the days that she knew them.
Her acquaintance with the Booths
was formed while young woman in
Albany, where her father operated
the Stanwix Hall, hosiery patroniz-
ed by the actor folk, for thirty years.
The incident connected with John
Wilkes Booth took place late in the
year 1864 and not a great while before
the assassination of Lincoln, that oc-
Cured the following April. j. Wilkes
Booth and his company were at the
time playing an engagement in Albany
and returning from tho theater one
evening after the performance, num-
Der Of the company were gathered in
one Of the rooms of Stanwix Hall,
where they were having a Bohemian
function In which liquors were among
the things consumed. J. Wilkes Booth
was one of the party and it is thought
that perhaps with some of the other
members of the company he imbibed
too freely Of the liquid refreshments
During the carousal Booth and an &C.
tress of the company whose name
Mrs. Emerson could not recall, became
engaged in an alteration, the cause
of which is not known, and during the

Matter flushed Up.
The proprietor, e. A. Gay, being a
peacefully disposed man, and not
wishing to impair the good name of
the hotel, made no fuss about the af-
fair and the actor-folks did what they
could to hush the affair up, and thus
1t was not made very public at the
time. Mrs. Emerson says that she re-
members the incident quite clearly,
as she was then young lady. She
was born at Lebanon, Conn, Septem-
Der 27, 1S41, and came west from AL
bany, where she spent her girlhood,
to Chicago, in 1872. Leaving Chicago,
she lived for a short time in Burling-

from Baron Maxwell of Edinburgh,
Scotland, through her mother, and is
a well preserved woman for her years.
