SAVES THE FAMOUS MINE FOR THE DESTITUTE WIDOW OF A MAN WHO HELPED HIM IN HIS TIME OF POVERTY Millionaire Winfield Stratton of Cripple Creek Romantically Returns a Kindness Rendered Years Ago. June 9.—Winfield millionaire mineowner of ADVILLE, Colo., th ple Creek, has redeemed the Match- Jess mine, in Leadville, for the widow of the late Benator Tabor in fulfiliment of the promise he was reported to have x 1 days ago. The story of this action of the Cripple Creek magnate is fraught with an abund- of ce. Years ago Senator abor advanced some money to Stratton when Stratton was a poor struggling miner, and he never forgot it. When Tabor died he had lost almost everything and he was vainly endeavoring to save the Matchless mine, which he always in- sisted still contained millions in its lower contacts never explored. The property e rom: was sold some months ago at Sheriff's sale, and final title would pass on July 4 to the new owners. For a year past Mrs. Tabor has been endeavoring to save the mine, but despite the fact that there are hundreds of people in Colorado that Tabor helped when he was rich, she could not raise the money. Stratton heard of her trouble and as- sured her that if the title to the property was all right he would assist her. The title is clear, and a check for $15,000 will be paid over to-morrow and the title will revert to Stratton, who will on July 4 turn the mine over to Mrs, Tabor. It was on July 4 that Stratton discovered the Independence mine, which made him that on that day he will return a kindness to the widow and family of the man who helped him when he was poor. Senator Tabor was one of the best known characters of the West. He spent his millions freely and died a poor man. It was he who gave the city of Denver its first start. —_— Rockefeller Will Contribute. TUSKEGEE, Ala., June 9.—Principal Booker T.

ORDER GIVEN FOR ARREST OF JACKSON May Know Something of Robbie Hislop Murder. Captain Seymour Has Him Detained After Ques- tioning Him. Chief of Detectives Will Make No Direct Accusations, but Says Prisoner’s Statements Are Contradictory. A Harry Jackson, assistant janitor at the Page-street Armory, whose name was | mentioned in connection with the brutal murder of Robbie Hislop, was arrested | yesterday by order of Captain Seymour and locked up In the tanks pending a thorough investigation into his move- ments on the night of the awful tragedy. For several hours yesterday afternoon Edward Linehan, who lives at Octavia and Oak streets, and Jackson were in the | office of the Chief of Detectives undergo- ing what is known {n police parlance as the “sweating” process. Notwithstand- | ing the reticence of Seymour and his men it is known that the two men were sub- jected to the most rigid examination. After it was over Seymour released Line- han but ordered Jackson locked up. On the evening of the murder Jackson and Linehan engaged in a fight in the | armory, the last named getting the worst of the encounter. After leaving the scene | of the battle Linehan went to his home | and securing a hatchet started to return | to the armory. On the way he met an attorney named Ed Shortall, who upon | learning that Linehan intended to kil | | Jackson took the hatchet from him. Linehan wads seen by several persons walking along the street with his face bathed in his own blood. Thinking that he might have had something to do with | the murder of young Hislop those who noticed his condition lost no time in no- tifying the police. He was closely ques- tioned at the time, but as it was evident that he was innocent of any connection with the murder he was not “rrested. Just what evidence the solice. tha: against Jackson, Captain Sdymour re- | fuses to state. When questioned last night the head of the 'detective depart- ment laughingly remarked that he was justified in arresting Jackson, as he was a deserter from the cruiser Philadelphia. “Do you suspect him of having any- thing to do with the murder?” was asked. “I have nothing to say at the present | time,” he answered. “I have seen fit to detain Mr. Jackson, and that is all there is to it.” Jackson prior to jolning the navy was | a member of Company A, First Californfa | Infantry. He returned from Manila with his health greatly impaired, but soon re- covered. ‘While admitting that he and Linehan had a fight on the evening of the killing of little Robbie Hislop, Jackson denies | any knowledge of the murder. “Linehan and T had a wordy -argu- ment.” he said last night, “and blows fol- | lowed. T soon convinced him that T was | far cleverer with my fists, and he quit. | Some time afterward I heard that he had | a hatchet which he intended to use on me, but T religiously kept out of his way. 1 was greatly pleased when I was told about an hour later that the hatchet had been taken away from him, as T was afraid that he would hurt me with it. “I know absolutely nothing about the murder of young Hislop, and am at a loss to understand why the police see fit to detain me."” “He will have to explain some contra- dictory statements,” is the only deelara- tlon of fmportance that Seymour will make in regard to the arrest of Jackson. CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW WILL WED A WIDOW New Mistress W]Fl’reside in Corco- ran House Bzfore Winter Comes. WASHINGTON, June 9.—It is under- stood in Washington that orcoran House,” which has been the residence of Senator Depew for the last two years, will have a new mistress at the opening of the social season next winter. Senator De- pew, it is said, will be married during the summer to a widow who is now abroad. His niece, Miss Paulding, who has pre- sided over his Washington home, is now owner of the residence at Nineteenth and N streets which Mr. Depew présented to her at the time her engagement to Licu- tenant Edie was announced last winter, The house has since been generally over- hauled and improved. Justice Brewer, who was married a day or two ago, was a classmate of Mr. De- pew at Yale, and this fact adds interest to the report of the Senator’s engagement.

Tuttle achieved notoriety in December, 1899, when he was written up by a morn- ing newspaper as having committed sui- cide on the night of December 10 by jump- ing from the ferryboat San Rafael. The paper that published the “ghastly de- tails” declared that Tuttle was a man of wealth and that his father was a rich man, but that unrequited love had caused young Tuttle to plunge into the waters of the bay. While sorrow was being poured out at the fate of the alleged suicide and sentimental girls were weeping over the “cruel father” who had “blighted two young lives; while school girls were gaz- ing at the picture of Tuttle jumping from the ferryboat, with his sweetheart's photo clasped to” his heart, the man ‘“supposed to be dead” turned up very much alive and declared that the whole story was the tabrication of a “yellow sheet.” If Tuttle has committed suicide in the last forty-eight hours he took good care to make known his intentfons. Followed Many Callings. Tuttle has followed various occupations . in the last few years. When not engaged as a cook he has earned a living as a disciple of fistic sport, a ball player and a foot racer. A month ago he went into the restaurant business with his father, T. T. Tuttle, at 482 Geary street. Tuttle senior was not around the place very often, and his son attended to the wants of the hun- gry customers.. Two girls were employed to wait on the patrons and a female cook assisted the proprietor. On Saturday afternbon young Tuttle told Etta Hoover, one of the waitresses, that he would not be seen again after he had léft the place. “I am going to Kill myself,” he said, “and by to-morrow I will be food for the fishes."” Tuttle started to write a letter to his sister, commencing, “My dear sister, you will never see me again,” and then threw the sheet of paper away. He, however, was seen writing a long letter, and told Etta Hoover that it was for his sister and that she would get it by mail on .fonday morning. 'tuttle went to the Chutes and had his photos taken. He gave one to Etta Hoover on Saturday - night, and is supposed to have mailed the other to his sister. Tuttle was last seen on Saturday night by his father. Posted His Own Death Notice. Yesterday morning when Tuttle senior and the employes of the restaurant ar- rived at 452 Geary street to prepare for work: they found the restaurant closed. A notice was pasted inside one of the glass windows of the door, reading: This place Is closed in consequence of tha death of Howard Tuttle: Tuttle senior says the death notice was not in his son’s handwriting. The father of the missing man opened up the restau- rant, but did not find his son inside. He found an envelope in which was his son's opal scarfpin and two unmounted opals. No letter from young Tuttle was found. Tuttle senior did not seem concerned at his son's disappearance. He did not re- port the matter to the police or to the Coroner, but told the employes of the res- taurant to report for work this morning. Mrs. Theresa Vohs, residing at 152 Clara street, reported the disappearance of Howard Tuttle to the Coroner’s office. Mrs. Vohs is’employed as the cook of the restaurant. Howard Tuttle roomed at the corner of Fifth and Market streets, and an exam- ination of his room yesterday showed that he had not occupied his apartment on Saturday night. The news of Tuttle's disappearance and threats to end his life were reported to the police by the Cor- oner’s office. - . BULLOCK'S COLUMN TAKES MANY PRISONERS IN NIGHT ATTACKS UPON COMM ANDANT GENERAL BOTHA'S FORCES Report .of Recent Engagement in Which Many Boers Were Killed Is Officially Denied by Kitchener. DURBAN, June 9.—News of Bullock’s column, which is operating in the east- ern part ‘of the Transvaal, show that dur- ing the past three weeks the British have made frequent successful night attacks while in pursuit of Commandant General Botha’s forces. They have captured a number of Boers and large quantities of stock. Quantities of foodstuffs have been destroyed. Efferts to discover the loca- tion of the Long Tom in possession of the Boers have been futile. It is persistently rumored here that a general surrender of the Boers will take place at an early date. LONDON, June 9.—A dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Company on June 5 re- ported that Colonel Wilson had surprised Beyer’'s commando and killed thirty-seven Boers, besides capturing 8000 cattle and all the burghers’ supplies. As the War Office ‘received no report of the engage- ment a dispatch was sent to General Kitchener asking him about it. He has now replied, stating the report was with- out foundation. NEW YORK, June 9.—Rev. von Bruick- huison of Pretoria, South Africa, the min- ister who closed the Volksraad with prayer after President Kruger's ultimas tum had been read to that body, is in this city. His brother, Dr. H. J. von Bruickhuison of the Orange Free State, who served in the Boer armies, accompa- nies him. Their mission in this country is to raise money for the Boer women and children now in refuge camps. Rev. von Bruickhulson said in an Interview: “Our women and children, who are at present concentrated in camps established by the British, are in a horrible condi- tion. It was bad enough when I left South Africa, but I know from letters that I have recelved—one only the other day from my sister—that it is a hundred times worse now." ‘When the doctor left South Africa, he sald, he was virtually banished by order of General Maxwell, military Governor of Pretoria. Dr. von Bruickhuison said fur- ther of the camps: “In an official report made by Dr. Don- jald P. McKenzie of the British army, on February 18 of this year, the British Gov- ernment is notified that the conditions are horrible, the death rate appalling and the food furnished wholly unilt to -t_.:
