Sheppard COOmbS Buys
Prominent Corner i'm
Heart of Wildwood y
Brick Building TO be Erected
Thereon, the First Floor OF
Which is to House the
al wildwood Post Office

Sheppard w. Coombs has bought
the corner plot at Pacific and Oak
e from Howard Coombs and
Albert Coombs, brothers. This is the
site of the big fire a little over a year
ago. The new owner will erect a
number of stores. This valuable piece
of property has a frontage of 100 feet
on Pacific avenue and so feet on Oak
avenue. Since the big Poplars fire a
year ago last month it has lain vacant;
but now a two two-story office building
is soon to be erected thereon. In this
venture Harry s. Dry will be associated
with Mr.. Coombs, this new real estate
firm to engage in business under the
name of the Coon s-Dry~Realty Com
pany. Plans and specifications are
now in course of preparation, and work
on the proposed structure will be COM
menced very soon. There will be forty
communicating office rooms on the
second floor, two of which will be re-
served for the promoters of this enter
prise for their own use. 1t is said ne
gotiatlons are now in progress with the
United States Post Office Department
at Washington looking to the occupa-
ton of the first floor for postal service.
1t is said that the lease for the present
post office quarters Is about to expire.
Another venture of Mr.. CoOmbs will he
the erection shortly Of q one-story brick
building at the corner OF Pine and
Pacific avenues, to be used as a garage.
This fireproof structure will have a
frontage Of 80 feet on Pine avenue and
20 feet on Pacific venue 1t will be
heated by steam or hot water. Mr..
Ceombs expects to start work on this
building very soon. This Pine avenue
corner as well as the Oak avenue corner
is very central, and in the acquisition
of both of these plots Of real estate the
purchaser has displayed evidence OF
wise foresight. The price for the Oak
avenue corner is believed to have been
10 the ~neighborhood Of SIS, 900, just the
price that Howard Coombs paid Tor
the property several years ago with the
original Poplars building on it. The
whole first floor will be devoted 10 the
Wildwood post office, with the excep-
ton of the corner, in which Mr.. CoomDs
Will open an up-to-date meat market
for next season. The rental to be PAID
by the government will be in the nelgn-
borhood Of SIS. 900 per year.

NANDERER HELD SLAYER
BY CHICAGO GRAND JURY

CHICAGO. July 13.-Two true bills
charging Lieut.. Carl Wanderer with
the murder OF his wife and the stran-
ger whom he used as a dupe have
been voted by a grand jury.
The bills will be returned before
Chief Justice Grove later in the week.
1t was decided not to return the
bills Immediately, police said, so as
TO give the States attorneys office
more time to clear up certain details
OF the case.
Chief of these are Identification of
The murdered stranger and the police
theory that Wanderers alleged in
fatuation for a sixteen-year-old girl
may have been the motive for the
crime.
Confronted with the girl in his
cell. Wanderer for the first time since
his arrest, lost composure momen-
tarily, but firmly denied the girl had
had any inflneice on his desire to be
free.
GIRL HE KNEW NOT HELD.
In one of his statements to the
police, Wanderer said he shot his
wife so he could return to the army
and be free from care of his wife
and the baby they expected neXs
month.
MURDERER MAINTAINS CALM.
Wanderer today maintained his
I calm attitude in regard to, the mur-
der and talked of his dead wife with
! out emotion.
The identification of the hired rob
ber" as John ]. Maloney, of River
Point, r. l.. was further supported
today by John Welland, clerk at a
hotel where Maloney had stayed three
days just before he was slain. and
had registered under that name:
The police are working on the
theory today that Wanderer was also
responsible for the death Of his
mother, who was reported at the time
to have committed suicide here sew
eral years ago.
1t is also believed that the eX-army
officer might have ben connected with
the robbery of his fathers butcher
shop in December Of last year.
