BIZARRE MURDER
MYSTERY TALE OF
1913 is UNFOLDED
Dying Man Confesses Paying
$4,000 to Get Rid of
Unwanted Wife.

VISALIA, CALIF.-Miles of desert
and mountain country between Visa
liza and Los Angeles are being
searched by authorities who hope to
find the body of Mrs. Lucinda Jane
West and the complete solution of a
battling 25-year-old murder mys-
terry.
1t was in 1918 Mrs. West and her
husband, Jacob Clinton West, set out
from Los Angeles for the lonely trip
to their Tulare county ranch 200
miles to the north. Their friends
and members of their family never
saw them again.
During the intervening quarter
century Tulare county peace of
ficers made sporadic but unsuccess-
full efforts to determine what hap
pened to the couple. The two daugh-
tiers of the Vests, Mrs. Elizabeth
Antony and Mrs Mamie Higgins of
Los Angeles, despaired of learning
the fate of their parents and became
reconciled to a simple theory of
disappearance.
Found Father Changed Name.
Then in 1886 they heard that
rancher named Jacob Clinton had
died in little mountain community
south of San Francisco. They sus-
pected and finally learned definite
ly that Jacob Clinton and their IA
ther-Jacob Clinton West-were the
same person.
From that one fact, officials un-
wound one of the most bizarre
stories in the history of crime in
California. They learned that less
than year after the disappearance,
West assumed the name of Jacob
Clinton and married his wife's sis
ter, Mrs. Hattie Downtown.
They learned that West constantly
treasured Mrs. Downtown there was
no danger of bigamy because they
would never again hear from Luz
cinda"-the first Mrs. West. West
explained his assumed name by say
ing he was fugitive from Los An
geles authorities who wanted him
on forgery charge.
Then, Mrs. Downtown told the au-
thorities, when West was dying two
years ago he called her to his bed
side.
Hattie" he told her, 81 have
something to tell you, something
about Lucinda. l swear by my God
I paid $500 to a man to get rid of
her."
jealousy Guarded Secret.
Mrs. Downtown said that was her
first inkling she had that her sister
had met with foul play at the hands
of the man who then was her hus-
band. From that dying statement,
Mrs. Downtown said, she understood
why West refused to be given OPT
ates when he suffered violent heart
attacks-because he feared that in
the resulting delirium he might utter
self-incriminating words.
With this evidence, officials have
established that Mrs. West was muir
dered either by her husband or by
a hired assassin. They now want
to learn where the body was hidden.
They are faced with two possibili-
ties. First, the body of a woman
found in the Kings river near Visa
liza the year after the disappearance
may have been Mrs. West. Second,
the murdered woman may have
been buried somewhere beside the
lonely road between Visalia and Los
Angeles. Since there are no records
to reveal the identity OF the body
found in the river, they are working
on the second theory.

Recreation.

of schools; Mr.. John K. Claxton,
Butte attorney; and Mr.. E. K. Dun
can of the electricians union will

LEARY MAKES A
SPLENDID REPORT

Delegate Leary of the Miners
made a long and comprehensive re-
port for the legislative committee
and also gave his comments upon
the legislative session at Helena. Mr..
Leary described the present House
and Senate as one of the most re-
dictionary in the history of Montana.
He referred to the efforts of the
unions to get the collar-to-collar
bill passed. He c%austically rebuked
the members of the committee to
whom this piece of proposed legisla-
ton was submitted and said that he
did not see how the people of Mon
tana could hope to get anything out
of this legislature when an i'm
portant hearing On a piece of legis-
lation was postponed in order that
the members of the committee could
be entertained as guests of a ban
quet given by the Montana Mining
Association. Leary also mentioned
that typical of the reactionary char
acter of the present legislature, were
bills introduced to make it a mis-
demeanor for anyone to attempt to
organize government employees. It
would appear that such a bill would
be entirely unconstitutional.
1t was reported that Sam White,
the undertaken, was opposed to the
Wage and Hour measure; by the
way, it was also reported at union
headquarters that Sam White was
opposed to the establishment of a
housing authority too because he
said the Building Trades would get
too much money out of it.
In his legislative report he recon-
mended that the Trades and Labor
Council go on record for greater
appropriations to take care of the
teachers retirement fund.

Liquor
Prices Aim OF Assn.

The Silver Bow Liquor Dealers
Association is making fine progress
in the sterilization of liquor prices
throughout this county. In the past
many places have been literally
giving their liquor away and as a
consequence Butte has seen a great
deal of drunkenness resulting from
easy liquor. Realizing these condi-
tons, the association is attempting
to bring about a fair price under
which all members will be able to
operate at a profit, thus insuring
them their payroll and license fees.
It also puts their establishments in
the class of business houses properly
run and a credit to the city instead
of a nuisance.
Approaching the enormous reve-
nue. the state obtains from liquor
sales, the association feels it their
duty to keep the business under the
best possible regulations, thus pro-
noting public favor and a continu-
ance of income to the state and cities.
Thanks to the cooperation of most
men in the trade, the association
hopes to have a complete agreement
by the first of February.
