HIRED TO ADMIT MURDER
Young Texas Girl Says She Was
Given $500 for Her "con-
fession."

Fort Worth, TcX-NIiss Callie Lee
Meadows, charged with the murder Of
u. L. McAdamS of this city has been
released under $1,000 bond. She has
charged Mrs. V. +. Plummcr with the
crime, and says that her confession
was made after Mrs. Plummer had
promised her $500 to take RESPONSIBLE
ity for the killing.
After her arrest Miss Meadows told
the authorities that She went 10 Fort
Worth from her home IN Parker coun-
~. seeking work. She said that Me
Adams lured her to his rooming house
and later gave her employment there.
She shot the man after he had wronged
her, according to her first story.
On the witness stand Miss Meadows
created Il sensation when she told that
her original story was false. She said
that Mrs. Plummer first urged her to

Level Enough for Purpose.

The SLOGAN is the name given to the
picturesque mining district of south
western Canada. that has known the
romance of 4 big boom. the slow trag-
cdy of decline and desertion. and the
pulse Of renewed prosperity and ac-
tivity, all within the memory Of men
still young enough for military serv-
ice. Twenty years ago the rush was
on, and all the mad scramble and Law
iSh spending of Leadville and the Klon-
dixie were being re-enacted in Kaslo
and Nelson and Sandon and the rest
Of the little mining camps. In Sandon
they boarded over the river to make
the single city street, because the can
yen walls were too steep to lay 1t any.
where else. Kaslo grew overnight into
a budding metropolis.
The drop in silver spelled temporary
disaster to the SLOGAN, and men WHO
were too impatient to do with less
than the hope OF q fortune week
poured out as fast as they had rushed
in. They left many deep-buried low
grade ore vein behind them for the
patient and methodical work of some
powerful syndicate to open up and ex-
plot. They threw aside as not worth
botkering with the zinc ores that the
war has almost classed among the pre-
cious metals. So the future of the
SLOGAN district may vet be as pros
porous and q good deal more solidly
founded than its past.
