MYSTERY MAY
 BE SOLVED IN TRIAL IN TODAY
Mrs. Augusta Dietz, Widow of George Dietz, and Her Friend, George Nurnberg, to Face Jury Today on Charge of Murder
Especial to Republican.D

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-Mysteries of an unusual character remain to be solved in the case of the murder of George Dietz, for whose death Mrs Augusta Dietz widow of the slain man. and her friend, George Murnberg, will be plac- ed on trial before Judge Kersten on Monday.
 Dietz. fifty-nine years old, owner of a womans tailoring establishment and reputed to be a man of wealth, was found murdered in his home at 733 Aldine avenue, on April If, 1913. Fol lowing the discovery of the murder a mass of beWildering facts was brought to light from day to day. Some of the coniectures raised seemed almost be- yond belief, so melodramatic, so out of the ordinary were they.
 The skull of the murdered man had been crushed and he is believed to have been beaten to death with a mason's hammer, which was found in the room. The handle of the hammer had been wrapped with a red handkerchief loop ed in such a way that the murderer 1 could keep a firm grasp. In addition i to the hammer a letter was found in { the room indicating that revenge was ! the motive for the crime.
 ! On the night of the crime Mrs. Dietz occupied a bedroom adjoining that of ! her husband. When questioned by the i police she said the first she knew of 1 the murder was when she went to Waken her husband
 The letter found in the room was un- signed, written on typewriter on vel low paper and was ungrammatical tc a degree tha led the police to suspect that this feature of the crime had been planned to confuse investigators. Ii read in part, as follows:
 T feel like a man that do right kill him like we kill beast. Gerly telt me all gerly when she was sick. work hard and he is rich man. He stea my little girl Poor gerly she is no' bad she is foolish and like good clothes he gave her. He not think she tele me These 1 Wriht if l get killed young friend not done it. 1 not give name. | l get chance to keel old pig we al saved"
 The police at first worked on tn, theory that revenge was the motive fo the crime and that either the father O.
 the sweetheart of some girl committed
 the murder. Mrs, Dietz was taken int
 custody and questioned, but was no

Rescue Party, With Aid of Oxygen Helmets, Succeed in Penetrating from the South Portal to Wrecked Locomotive and Cars
TIMERS ARE
 STILL BURNING
Fears Are Expressed for Safety of Rescuing Par
 ties as Earth and Rocks Are Still Falling-Lis of
 Americans Who Perished
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHl


 CUMBRE, CHIHUAHUA, Feb. S.- Nothing but charred bones, and but tons were found by the rescue party which with the aid of oxygen helmets, and pulmotors succeeded today in pen etrating Cumbre tunnel from the south portal as far as the locomotive, and the first two cars of the passenger tram. These are supposed to be the remains of the engineer and fireman of the ill., fated train They were probably killed when the locomotive crashed into the burning freight train, which had been pushed into the tunnel by Castillo s bandits several hours before.
 It is now believed every one of the fifty or more persons including the crew aboard the train when it dashed into the tunnel last Wednesday night, are dead and whether the train hur- ried into the tunnel to escape being captured by Castillo's bandits or was sent headlong to it's destruction may never be known.
 The entrance at the north portal will not be possible until tomorrow night possibly not until next day, as heavy timbering burning fiercely, earth and rock are still falling, making the work of rescue extremely dangerous. and there is constant fear that other lives may be lost while the rescue work is in progress.
 A complete list of Americans who lost their lives is as follows:
 Mrs. Lee Carruth and five children wife of an engineer employed at Ma edra, M.

Accordingly he has printed that number of ballots all alike and then showed the name from the top to the bottom, printing 333 more. But they are put into the pads in rotation so that no two ballots given out to suc- cessive voters are alike.
 It is stated that the accompanying ballot is a copy of the sample ballot: that is not quite the case for this one has the "X'' marks after the names of Lewis for mayor and Cope, Dameron,
 Diehl and Goodrich for commissioners,
 to show how easy it will be for the voters to make sure of good clean
 government.
 Now there is something else. It will
 be possible to settle this whole contro- versy on Wednesday without waiting
 for the general election a month later.
 If one candidate for mayor should re-
 ceive a majority of all the votes cast he will be declared elected at the pri- mary. And if four of the candidates SnOQlQ edcn receive majority or all the votes cast on Wednesday they will be declared elected. If one of them should receive majority and the others should not three of those fall- ing next below a majority would have to contest at the general election with three next highest.

VERA CRUZ. Feb S.-The straits to which the Mexican government is reduced for fuel with which to con tinue the operation of the national railway lines were shown by the communicating today of virtually the whole fuel oil supply of Vera Cruz, thus threatening a speedy suspen sion of all traffic between this city and the capital. The government sent last night a train of eighteen oil cars with a capacity of 12,000 gallons each to Vera Cruz. Today an officer at the head of a squad of troops made formal demand on the agent of the Aguila Oil company to surrender all oil in it's possession. The agent replied the oil had been
