ATcHISoN WOMAN TAKES STEPS
TO SECURE MONEY.
Mrs. Partlow Says She Is Only Sur
viving Sister Of the Murdered
New Yorker.

Atchison, Kan.-Mrs. Ann Rice Part

Waggener, in her effort to prove her
claim to the estate of William Marsh
Rice, murdered in New York in 1900,
and for whose murder Albert T. Pat
rick, lately pardoned, was sentenced
to death. Mrs. Partlow claims Rice
was her brother, and her attorney will
look up the antecedents of the MUIR
dered man. If further investigation
indicates their relationship he Will go
to New York himself, and try to win
for her and other relatives the $1O,-
100000 estate Rice is said to have
possessed at the time of his death.
Mrs. Partlow. who lives here with
her daughter Mrs. Jacob Martin. tells
this story:
my father. Peter Rice, who died
many years ago, lived in Crawford
county, Pa, where l was born. There
were six children in the family, the
eldest being William Marsh Rice. My
mother died when the children were
young, and father was very severe
with the children, When William
Rice was nearly 21 years of age he
had a quarrel with his father and left
home He never was heard of again
by a member of his family
Twelve years ago. when William
Marsh Rice, the New York million
aire, was murdered, his pictures ap-
peared in the papers and neigabor
of Mrs. Schuster in Des M zines, Ia,
a sister of Mrs Partlow, noticed the
resemblance between Mrs. Schuster
and the murdered man. The neighbor
did not know that Mrs, Schuster's
maiden name was Rice. AS Mrs.
Schuster, who since has died, could
never read nor write, she did not
know the picture shown her by the
neighbor was that of man named
Rice.

ANOTHER SCANDAL IN NAVY
INJURY TO A WOMAN GUEST Is
BEING INVESTIGATED.
Californian's Wife Taken Ashore From
Gunboat Vicksburg With
Fractured Skull.

Vallejo GAIA naval board has
been convened at the Mare Island navy
yard to investigate an affair on board
the United States gunboat Vicksburg,
which resulted in the removal of Mrs,
Andrew Muller, wife of a Vallejo sa-
loon man, in an unconscious condi-
ton from the gunboat.
1t was reported that Mrs. Muller
had fallen down the gangway of the
Vicksburg. The session of the naval
board was held behind closed doors,
with Commander Richard Douglass OF
the supply ship Glacier presiding. All
of the officers of the Vicksburg were
questioned, and report of the find
ing of the board was forwarded to
the department in Washington.
1t is alleged by the police of Val
lejo, who conducted separate investi-
CATION, that they have evidence to
show that Mrs. Muller did not fall
down the gangway, as at first report
ed, but that she was struck on the
head by a beer bottle, hurled by the
wife of an officer with whom she had
been dining. A second woman, in
cluded in the midnight dinner party,
it is understood by the police, is an
employe of candy store in San Fran
cisco. The identity of the two Of
ficers alleged to have entertained the
woman on the gunboat has not been
made public.

to look for land, have returned after
putting in about two weeks looking
over the country. They saw great
deal of land and figured on the ad-

but finally decided that it was not
worth while and came back without
having filed. Mr.. McKeen says that
he saw no half section of vacant land
that he would trade for his quarter
here, but says that the earlier comers
have some very good land.
In reaching this conclusion they
took into consideration the cost Of
moving and the higher cost of horses,
implements and other necessaries
They are well satisfied with the trip
