BLOODY AXE IS FOUND
MAN DECLARES He USED THE
TOOL IN KILLING CHICKEN
SUNDAY.
BLADE CAREFULLY WASHED.
ACTION IN TRYING TO REMOVE
STAINS LEADS TO GRAVE
SUSPICION.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 1S.-Tracing the
movements Of John Featherstone, a
negro, was the work undertaken by
the police in an effort to fix respon-
sibility for the murder of Miss Signe
A. Carlson, music teacher on a
lonely road in Montclair last Friday
night. Featherstone, whose name was
last night given as FL ]. Jones, lived
with his son in a small shack mile
from the scene of the crime, and was
employed in a brick yard in Mont
clair In the. shack was found a
small axe which had been washed re-
Gently but to which traces Of blood
still adhered Featherstone explain
ed the blood stains were caused by
having killed a chicken Sunday.
The police expressed the belief that
they have further clue by the dis
covery in the Featherstone house OF
a small musical dictionary Steps
we're to be taken today to determine
whether this volume belonged to Miss
Carlson. and was carried BY her the
night Of the murder
Fetherstone told the police today
that he had been in Denver Friday
but this was contradicted by his s.
year-old son, who declared that neith-
er he nor his father had been in
Denver for ten days. Letters from
Featherstone's wife in Cheyenne were
found in the shack and caused the POI
lice, to inquire into his record. One
of the letters made demand for
money and promised that, if it was
not forthcoming at once, there would
be trouble" According to Chief,
O'Neil the investigation had dis
closed that Featherstone was arrest
ed about four years ago for attacking
his 1S-year-old stepdaughter, Beatrice
Ransome, but never was brought to-
trial because Of the refusal Of his
wife to prosecute
It was admitted by the police this
afternoon that their investigation to.
day tended to show that Featherstone
was not connected with the Carlsen
murder However, he was held pend.
ing further inquiries.
It developed that the small axe
found in the brick yard where Feath-
erstone worked and not in his cabin
as at first stated, and that the alleg-
ed blood stains were caused by kill
ing chicken several days ago.
Information tending to show that
had been In Denver the
afternoon before the murder, had been
drinking heavily and returned home
before O'Clock was secured by the
police. 1t was also stated that the
boy had admitted that
he was mistaken about the time his
father was absent from their home.
From Greeley Colo, where Feath-
erstone formerly lived. the authorities
secured information to indicate that
he had been hard working man
while there and had been known for
his devotion to his son
Additional facts obtained from
Cheyenne we're to the effect that the
charges Of assaulting his stepdaugh-
ter several years ago had been trump
ed up BY his wife and that upon In
vestigation the Cheyenne authorities
had released him.

WHY ]. MID PERRY
GAVE UP HIS RUN
Interesting Incident Told By
Popular Engineer Who
Tested Plant Juice.

It was the state of his health that
caused J. Mid Perry, one of the best
known engineers on the Rock Island
system in Texas, to give up his regu-
lar run and take a switch engine Mr..
Perry lives at Fort Worth, Texas, r T.
D. No. 8, box l. He said;
ct had to give up my regular run
I could not stand the strain due to my
weak kidneys and stomach trouble
Both had run me down until / was IN
bad shape and getting very respondent
when began taking Plant Juice, which
has been a Godsend to so many Of the
railroad boys here. It has done more
for me than I ever thought possible
Had known of Plant Juice three years
ago I would never have given up my
main line run. 1t has built me up
stopped my stomach and kidney trOu-
bles. and I feel fine I think Plant
Juice does even more than is claimed
for it."
For deranged stomach and kidneys
there is nothing in the world to equal
Plant Juice It is taken into the ctrcu-
Iation and dissolves uric acid which es-
caped from diseased kidneys, and en-
tireIy removes it. 1t clears the blood,
cleanses the liver and puts new life and
energy into the user. 1t viii do you

borrowed from the North Western and
after making a number of false starts,
finally succeeded in dragging a string
OF other cars away from the hiring line
and out of the danger zone 1t then
returned to a neighbOring siding and
pumped water through a leaky hose
onto the fire with some success IN
saving the metal parts. The burned
cars were empty and were part OF the
equipment OrOzCO did not burn when
he evacuated Juarez a few hours in ad-
vance of the federals.
A fire alarm was turned in at the
FL Paso central station and all Of the
apparatus was chased down to South
Santa Fe street and back to the en-
CINE house. Then the chief and a
hose wagon trelzed across the bridge
and failed TO stop at the Mexican
custom house.
According to adviees received in
Juarez some small bridges have been
burned between Summit and Coyote,
two stations Immediately south OF
san Pedro on the Juarez division OF
the road The two bridges destroyed
on the chihuahua division are located
between Las Vegas and Rincon- Their
reconstruction will require much time
and expert engineering. In view OF
the latest destruction Of the road
after the first week. Of reconstr uctiOn,
railway officials have abandoned any
attempt TO continue the work All
that the federal government has done
is to give a troop guard to the work
train operating below Juarez- No pa
troll of the road has been undertaken.
A train left Juarez Tuesday morn
ing for points on the Mexican Cen
trail What supplies were not burned

sent to the federal garrisOns at villa

PLATFORM COLBAPSES, But
ROOSEVELT ESCAPEs INJLRl

Oyster Bay, Il. y, Nov. 5--As ne be
gan his campaign in Chicago last June,
when it had become apparent that he
probably would take the lead in form
ing a new party, so Col Roosevelt with
the same words brought the campaign
to a close.
I'VE stand at Armegeddon and we
battle for the Lord" he said to his
neighbors here in the village playhouse.
Col Roosevelt narrowly escaped in
juries when a platform on which he
was seated at MineOla gave way With
the cracking of timber and cries OF
frightened women and children the 100
persons on the platform were dropped
two feet until the center Of the plat
form touched the ground. Col RoOse-
welt was splashed by the contents of a
pitcher of water. No one was injured.
Once he had removed the drops of
water on his spectacles, he was ready
for his speech.
'I assure you" he said, that the Pro-
eressive platform won't give way
In his Mineola speech Col Roosevelt
devoted much time to a defence Of his
proposal for the recall of judicial de-
cisiOns.

BURNING BOX CARS
ENTERTAIN JUAREZ

soldiers and Citizens Turn Out to See
COnfIagratIOn; Fire Chief and
E'iremen Go From FL PasO.
Juarez gets a holiday out Of any
thing, from a dog fight 10 revolu~
ton.
Monday evening pleasant time was
mad by the entire population, barring
the invalids and those temporarily re-
tired from circulation in the federal
Jail Ten burning box cars on the
-.Lc-ican Central track furnished the
motif for a little get together affair
which was given official sanction by
the presence OF Gen. Trucy ALBERT and
his official staff in street suits. Cause
was never a strong factor IN the mental
makeup of Mexican, and no one
stopped to ask the reason why. Each
took the occasion as an event ar
ranged N his individual honor and at
tended en- masse and in haste.
Four carloads OF provisions intended
for the federal soldiers south OF
.Iuarez, loaded and ready to be sent
out on Tuesday mornings train We're
burned in the fire which also de-
strOyed other railway equipment Lo-
cation Of the origin Of the blaze and
a report OF the Mexican secret ser
vice tends to the belief that the fire
was inceudiary. 1t is believed that
Salazar and Roias, the two rebel lead
ers who control the railway at various
points between JUareZ and Chihuahua,
until Gen. Pascual OrOzco with the
main group of rebels has arrived In
his old stamping ground from Goa
hula
The cars, when were consumed TO
make a Latin holiday, were set out
on a siding below the Mexican Cen
tral station. They furnished a fine
illumination for the surrounding hills
and the tree grown acequia, and a
SPLENDID setting for the gathering OF
civilian and martial folk who sur
refunded the martyred box cars on
three sides and an end To add TO the
occasion the FL PasO fire chief in au-
tCmobile and a white cap and IRE
WAGON with six red HATED fire fight
erg on the hurricane deck scoOted over
She river and made an official inspec-
ton of the fi-e-
A detachment of the 18th battalion
was shufned down from the garrison
and stationed in an irregular hollow
square around the burning cars Gen.
Aubert occupied the center Of the
square and mounted gendarmes gallop-
ed around the ragged edge, as If there
was anything that really could be done
except to watch the cars burn TO the
running gears The soIolers olo not ooI
trouble themselves even so much as
10 watch the fire, preterrlng the Gin

on in their sullenness- The gem
f~--7es did not take the loss OF the
box cars so seriously, and they gal
Ioped around the fire with enough
arsenal Junk attached to their persons
ond saddles to equip a small army.
Vhe reserves arrived after the fire
was half over and charged the specta-
tors with much bravery driving them
hack to the side lines so they could
baslz in the warmth from the fire.
An asthmatic switch engine was
