B Special Dispatch to The Call. NEVADA CITY, April 6.—For nearly a week Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tilley of this city have been living in dread of assassination. Mr. Tilley, who is 60 years of age, is one of Nevada City's Wealthiest men, having made his for- tune in the California mines in the early days. The couple reside in a pretty cot- tage at the corner of Winter and May streets. Last Monday Mr. Tilley found/| on his doorstep a letter contained in an unaddressed envelope. It warned him that if he did not at once obey the com- mand of the writer and his confeder- ates by depositing $500 in gold coin in a spot they would be mur- dered and their home destroyed. The letter, which was typewriten, the type being of a large size, was as follows: will be murdered and, your property destroyed 000 000 || by fire. Remember, if you tell this to any 000 Yflu GAN BUY A Gnnn 000 |/ one at all you will not be spared under any 000 000 [ | consideration.

BUTTE, Mont., April 6—Evelyn Blewitt. aged 9 years, daughter of Mrs. Blewitt, a y widow of Walkerville, was murdered this afternoon in the cabin of the watchman | &t the Walkerville reservoir and the place 14 then believed to have been set on fire with the evident purpose of concealing the | evidence of the crime. John Warne, the | watchman, who is 71 years old, Is under | arrest, charged with the murder, and in | the excited state of feeling in Walkerville to-night there might be a lynching if the| prisoner could be got at. Warne's cabin ‘ is somewhat isolated and on numerous oc | casions he has been known to induce the children who came near to enter the place. Yesterday he told the little Blew- itt child that if she would come around to-day he would give her a nickel. This much is known and is admitted by the prisoner. At 2:30 this afternon the cabin of Warne was seen to be in flames, and the Walker- ville fire Gepartment was called out. When the apparatus arrived, accompanied by a large crowd of citizens, Warne was stand- ing outside the cabin, apparently uncon- cerned. He had not even raised an alarm. By the time the fire department could get water on the cabin it was practically in ruins. It was not until ten minutes after the arrival of the department that Warne told the firemen there was a little girl in- side. Some of those present made a rush for the door, and wichin on a bed they found the body of the girl. It was badly burned, one foot falling off as the rescuers picked the child from the bed. Upon get- ting the body outside it was seen that the ave their die Miller ‘When they were ar- child’s neck w: brok child's neck was broken and her skull Marshal Kenned\' of Walkerville was The three boys arrested names as Harry Goldstein, and John Sullivan.

While the Judge was questioning one of the others Goldstein remarked sotto voce to one of his_companions: “I don’t want no blood head in a Friscc paper about a tough «id for the old man’s benefit.”” The Judge threatened to send him to the reform school if he aid not answer and | the boy did so.

THREATENS WIFE WITH REVOLVER A Rancher’s Plucky Wife Wrests the Weapon From Him. Special Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, April 6.—J. Wiley Wal- lace,,a farmer of Shorb, was arrested this afternoon on complaint of his wife, who .| charges him with having threatened to LITTLE GIRL MURDERED BY AN AGED WATCHMAN kill her. Mrs. Wallace is employed as a copyist with County Recorder Wade. She parted from her husband some months ago and has since then been living with her moth- er in East Los Angeles. Wallace went to the office at noon to-day and called her-to the door. He asked that she ac- company him to lpncheon and threatened to kill her if she should refuse. To quiet the man she went with him. After luncheon he commanded her to go with him. She refused to go and he then drew a revolver and declared he would kill her on the spot. A struggle ensued, in the course of which the weapon was wrenched by his wife from the hands of the_desperate man. ““You can have me arrested, if you like,” he is alleged to have declared, ‘but 1 will finish you when I am out.” Notwithstanding the threats, Mrs. Wal- lace took the pistol to Sheriff Hammell's office and the Sheriff escorted her to the District Attorney, where she swore to a complaint on which a warrant was is- sued by Justice James for Wallace's ar- Test. Mrs. Wallace has always borne an ex- cellent reputation and her friends declare that the estrangement is not due to her acts, but to the dissipation of her hus- band. Wallace was in considerable trou- ble a year or two ago. He was charged with issuing bogus checks, and while the case was pending it was supposed he had gone East. Instead he had gone to San Diego’ County, where he waited until the storm swept by. He accumulated num- erous debts, which have caused him mu trouble. Until he became involved he wis regarded as a man of standing among the foremost ranchers of the county. Justice James fixed the bond of Mr. ‘Wallace at $1000.

Hankins, who is past 60 years of age, owns some valuable property here. His bride {s a comely widow and just past 30. They had been ’?Ianning their marriage many months.
