Finding of His Dead Body.

Moline police authorities are con-
WINGED that Carl NJ. Gordon, who was
found dead in the street car tracks
last Saturday morning. was the victim
of a foul murder. yet not the slightest
clew as TO his slayers has been OBJ
tanned. The cOroners jury returned an

TAKES DRINK IN SALOON.

A Moline saloon keeper testified tina
at 1880 Friday night Gordon visited
his place and bought a drink of whis-
ky. but that he took particular notice
that he was sober at that time. All
trace of Gordon was lost after leaving
the saloon. When his clothing was
searched after his death no money was
found. This leads to the theory thai
he was followed after leaving the sa-
loon and slugged near the spot where
his body was found. and that his body
was placed on the car tracks to give
the impression that he was killed by

HERE IS A GOOD CHANCE
FOR THE RIGHT GIRLS

Here is a chance for you girls.
The twin sons of Sir Arthur and
Lady Paget have purchased a
$500 acre fruit ranch in Califor-
MIA. near Los Angles, and declare
that they are going to become
American citizens and marry
American girls. They are %
years OF age, are graduates of
Oxford and are fine stock. On
the fathers side, they are de-
cendents of that Paget, who won
his Marquisate at Waterloo, the
mother was Miss Minnie Stevens.
the daughter of the late Paron
Stevens OF New York.
Their elder brothers. a captain
OF a regiment in India. He and
their father wanted the BOYS to
go into the army; the mother en-
tirely approves of their becoming
American fruit farmers. They
seem to be game boys. They
first tried an oil well in Wyoming
which did not materialize. and
they worked a good while at $50
"a month each on the Northern
Pacific Railroad. OF course they
will inherit great wealth after
a while, but they seem to have
the stuff in them to break even
ii they do not get the wealth.
Naturally the elder brother will
get the title and most Of the es-
tate, but he will be only a mar
quis. The boys when they get
their American citizenship papers
will be sovereigns. -Goodwin's

RICH LEAD OF
ORE OPENED UP
Rancher Dtggins Ditch Makes
Lucky find of Rich Ore
In Grass Roots

A strike was recently made on
Cuddy mountain near Cambridge
that promises to develop into a
paying mine. Thomas Towel, a
rancher living 10 miles from
Cambridge, was digging an ir-
rigating ditch, and struck his
pick into ore at the grass roots.
Having had some experience as
a miner, he recognized the rich
ness Of the ore, and had his iudg-
ment verified by an assay which
gave over $57 of gold and more
than 81 of silver, a total value
OF almost $50 to the ton.
Towel and his associates dug
out the slide and got about FIVE
tons of very rich ore. The lead
has been traced over 1000 feet,
and the miners are confident it is
a ledge. Three men are now at
work developing the property.
Since stalking out the claims
another and larger quantity was
sent for assay. Ii this proves as
good as expected work will be
begun upon the property upon a
larger scale.
Old miners of this district are
confident Cuddy mountain is
rich in gold, silver, copper and
lead. For many years float has
beenpicked up over the noun
tain below this lead that went
over $50 per ton. Thousands of
dollars have been spent in an
effort to find the ledge that Tow
ell and his associates feeel sure
they have discovered, but the
country is badly broken and it
is difficult to find a continuous
ledge.

If the strawberry bed has not yet

terial which can be used. An advan-

most other litter is that it is free
from weed seeds. The plants are
usually injured, if at ALL in the thaw-
