thing TO entertain and hold the thou
sands of tourists who Will pass
through here IN 1915 on their way
to the Pan-Amcrican exposition In
California. Trinidad being on the
route OF the transcontineutal auto
mobile highway and on tho line OF
the Santa Fc railroad should receive
its share Of the money that ID spent
by the tourists on the way to the
big fair. It has been suggested that
some kind of a permanent exhibit
be placed here. or some fair or cclc-
bration organized that will advcr-
tisc the city to these thousand OF
tourists and at the same time induce
them to stop off here u day or two
or week and enjoy themselves.

these tourists will take are already

the advertising the town would re-

blurred postmark on the letter
which was written to the sheriff OF
Douglass county telling that the
writer knows the whereabouts of
John Peter Davis. who is accused OF
the murder OF william Atcheson OF
Castle Rock. thirty-si xyears ago
The letter was mailed from Shields,
Oregon. u little town OF 1856 Inhabi-
tants. Sheriff Anderson OF Cas,l.
Rock declares the name signed TO the
letter was DIR. Graham" DIR.
George Atherson OF this city, In
whose possession the letter Is. states
that Graham Is not the name. but
refuses TO disclose the signature.
The letter is written In pencil and
Is exceedingly iiiItcrate. DR.. Athcr-
son believes Il probable that the

An element OF mystery added to the

spring. by the failure to locate n man
aamcd Davis or the informcr whosc
nance was given as DIR. Graham. ut

morning when II was learned tha,
the name of the physician who wrote
Sheriff John Anderson OF Douglas
county Is not Graham. Th. author!-
ties are keeping the real name Of the
!nformcr secret for tn. present.
II Ia possible that the first impress
sion that Davis was on his death bed
also may he erroneous. The letter
Which sn"Tut NEu"iNOU Te'eINeU Nuu
turned over to DR.. George Atchcson
OF D-nycr. brother OF the murdered
man. stated that the writer knew the
whereabouts OF a man named Davis
who committed murder In Douglas
county In 1876. Questions were
asked ms to whether there was n re-
ward standing for Information lead
ing to the arrest Of the murderer. The
writer gave such n clear description
Of the events leading up to the muir
der that Sheriff Anderson is confI-
dent he knew OF what he was writ
ing.
The failure to locate aith.r the
writer or the murderer at Peoria. is
easily explained today. The infor-
nation given out yesterday CAUSED
them to look for n doctor who docs
not cxis, and also It is very unlikely
that Davis is living under his own
name. He may not even be in Poor
