VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 16.—Mrs. Flem- ing of 3¢ North Chatham street, while violgntly insane, killed her daughter, Miss Pearl W. Fleming, with an ax this morn- ing. The deed was committed while the young woman was in bed, probably asleep. he died shortly afterward. Mrs. Flem- ing is the widow of the late John W. Fieming, who committed suicide last De- cember while brooding over financial troubles. Shortly before 6 o'clock the family of D. Graham, residing in an adjoining house, were disturbed by a loud noise in the rear, as though some one were try- ing to break in the door. Graham went out to investigate and found Mrs. Flem- ing wandering around the yard, flourish- ing an ax that was covered by blood. Mrs. Graham also went out and the insane woman was seeured and the weapon taken from her. Seeing the unfortunate woman in such a condition and the blood on the 2x the neighbors at once thought of the daughter, the only other occupant of the hous: Pearl?” Mrs. Graham fear- Oh, I've killed Pearl,” was the reply. “Her father wanted her in heaven, so I killed her. I want to bury her now,” and she broke into maniacal laughter. The neighbors rushed into the Fleming house and to the daughter’s room. On the bed, with several frightful gashes on her forehead, was the victim of a parent's insane fury.’ She died within a few min- ute HUNAN HOUNDS THAL THNDALL TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 16.—George Tyn- dall, one of the most notorious outlaws of the Blue River district north of St. Johns, Ariz., has been captured in the Mogollon Mountains by Fred Barfoot and Pollard Pearson, two daring Arizona rangers. Tyndall learned some time ago that the rangers were on his track and left the Blue River for New Mexico, tak- ing a roundabout course and following unfrequented trails. Barfoot and Pollard, who are veteran cowhoys, kept close to Tyndall's heels, following about twenty- four hours behind him. At ranches where the outlaw had friends and had stopped the cowboys used every possible means to mislead the rangers and put them on a wrong trail, but they succeeded in fol- lowing Tyndall's tracks until within about fifty miles of the place where he was finally captured. There they lost the trail audkwxndcrcd about the mountains for a weelk. This accident finally led to Tyndall's capture. The outlaw was informed by friends that his pursuers had given up the chase. He therefore felt safe from capture and stopped at a ranch in the Mogollon Mountains, where he engaged in sheep herding under an assumed name. After roaming about for a week and stopping at different ranches . without finding any trace of the fugitive Pearson and Barfoot accidentally came upon Tyn- dall where he was herding sheep. The outlaw, who was armed, was unaware of their approach and was covered with two rifles before he could offer any resistance. He was taken into custody and the rang- ers are now on the road to Globe with him. " There he will be tried on a charge of horsestealing, unless - some. - graver charge preferred against him. GRAPE-NUTS. White Bread and Appendicitis Now for a few Solid Facts Don’t let any one scare you about food and don’t be a fool the other way: Your food either makes or breaks you. That’s easily understood. to it. The way you now feed yourself is RIGHT (FOR YOU) if you are perfectly well. Stick But you can wager your last dollar your food IS WRONG IF YOU ARE AILING IN ANY WAY. Perhaps 2 word from a food expert might help you. APPENDICITIS suddenly sets in after the bowels can no longer stand the abuse of too nuch starchy food like white bread, potatoes, pasty wheat or oats, sago, tapioca, etc. These are nearly solid starch and starch is required by the body, but when white bread, for instance, is eaten in quantity, a part of the starch sours, ferments, and makes gas that inflames and irritates the bowels, producing constipation and peritonitis, or appendicitis. Dop‘t think you can leave off all starchy food—that’s being a fool the other way. Starch helps furnish the energy for the body, PROVIDED that starch is digested and does not ferment in the bowels. A practical knowledge of these facts led to the invention of (rape-Nuts. In this food the starch is changed into Grape Sugar in exactly the same way it is in the digestive organs of the human body, so when you eat Gra pe-Nuts you get the needed starchy food, already passed through the first form of digestion, safe and ready for immediate assimila- tion by nature; it is thereupon quickly taken up by the ‘blood and carried to the parts of the body for nutrition and strength. No gas, no overtaxing of the digestive organs, no consti cither peritonitis or appendicitis. pation and no danger from Remember the wheat and barley in Grape-Nuts are not predigested-by any sort of treat- ment except moisture, heat and time to let the diastase in the grains grow and thus change the starch. It’s only in the “know how” and you can have the good of it by using Grape-Nuts, Another and most important thing is that white flour, in order to be white, must have the for ored part.

Wat- kins, the notorious false check manipulator, certainly located for two days and an officer will un- doubtedly have the clever rascal under arrest this morning. The chase has last- ed for several weeks and has extended over the greatér part of California, Ore- gon and Washington. Watkins has gone by his own name throughout the whole of his wanderings. His wife has been with him all the time, and knew nothing of his criminal acts. 'W. B. Sayers, su. perintendent of the Pinkerton Detective Bureau in this city, stated last night that there could be no doubt that the young man was in the hands of the officers of the law and that there was no possiblity of his escape from punishment. ‘Watkins left Seattle three days ago for the sulphur springs in the Green River district. He went to a little village fif- tcen miles from the nearest station_on the Northern Pacific Railroad. His ‘whereabouts was discovered by the man hunters and local officers were instructed by wire to arrest him. A Pinkerton de- tective and, a deputy Sheriff went after him and were expected to return to Se- attle with their prisoner last night. The latest telegram received by Superintend- ent Sayers was as follows: ‘“Have Wat- kins certainly located. Escape impossible, ‘Will return to Seattle Saturday night.” Watkins' .career since he left San Francisco on July 18 has been marked by numerous fraudulent check transactions. He went first to Santa Cruz, where he left an unpaid board bill at a leading ho- tel. At Samta Monica and Santa Barbara he passed worthless checks for $400. At Los Angeles ‘he passed another for $200, and forgot to pay his hotel bill. He was next heard from at Portland, Or., where he passed another fictitious check for $400. His last transaction was the secur-— ing of $100 on a worthless check at the Naticnal Bank of Commerce in Seattle. It i{s surmised by the police officlals that he learned there how badly he was want- ed and concluded to seek some secluded spot where he and his wife might remain until the worst of the storm had passed. Superintendent Sayers made the follow- ing statement to a Call representative last night: “Watkins is a fool, It is a mys- tery to me how he got as far away as he did. His capture was inevitable. {Ie had h}lls wife with him all the time and never changed his name. I am positive that she never suspected that he was not all right. He undoubtedly made the fatal mistake of retaining his own name for the pur- ose of decelyving her. If her father gets old of him, I am sorry for him. “No, even if his relatives make his checks good, he cannot escape the penalty for his crimes. The American Bankers’ Association has takenjup the case in earn- est and it is an absolute certainty that he will be convicted in whatever court he may be tried. If he only got away with $100 in_Seattlq, he will be brought back here. Warrants from half a dozen citles in this State are on their way to Seattle, “I would bet all I have that he won't get less than fifteen years, and he ought to get more. The American Bankers' As. sociation has never dropped a case ye? and I have assurances that Watkins’ vic- tims here will not do so either. cinch, he's a ‘goner’ this time.” —————— GOES AT RAPID PACE. Philip Watkins Chooses the Wrong Course in Life. Philip D. Watkins, who, it is believed, was run to earth by the Pinkerton detect- ives In a suburb of Seattle last night, has distinguished himself since April 17 of this year by passing numerous bad checks for large amounts in various cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific and by making a sensational runaway marriage with a beautiful soclety young lady of Omaha, T. %ga.lk(nu halls from Montclair, Y. J. He is the unworthy scion of a 1thy and respected family of that city. His father, who is a millionaire, is president of the National Dental Association and Vice president of the international organi- zation. The young man’s grandfather, Philip Doremus, is president of the Mont.. clair Savings Bank, which is rated at $2,000,000. Edwin B. Goodell, an uncle, is a prominent corporation lawwer of New York City. The much-sought swindler was brought uglxn luxury and is splendid- ly educated. is manner would stama him as a gentleman anywhere. As close acquaintance has proved to the satisfac- tion of many eople, however, his appearance belies his character, In January of last year Watkins went to Boston and secured employment in a Chauncey-street brokerage house, After borrowing a sum of money from the pro- prictor the young man went tp Ames- SON OF WEALTHY PARENTS WHO HAS BEEN LOCATED NEAR SE- ATTLE AFTER A STRENUOUS CAREER WHICH WAS CAPPED BY HIS ELOPEMENT WITH AN OM-AHA SOCIETY GIRL.

Moore of Lowell, the owner. Watkins made a great impres- sion on the social set of the little city and was much sought after. He was ac- counted the ‘original shirt waist man” and displayed considerable prowess in va- rious athletic contests and games. His engagement to Ethel Boardman, the daughter of a millionaire tugboat owner of Newburyport, was finally announced. One day Mr. Moore discovered that the employes of the fille works were very short of salary money as a result of Wat- kins’ manipulations and the man was dis- charged. His engagement to Miss Board- man was, of course, canceled and Wat- kins sought other flelds. He was next heard from in Chicago, where he passed bad checks. At Omaha he represented himself as a millionaire fruit buyer and secured more money by his smooth pre- tenses, On a Pullman car bound West Watkins met Miss Maude Shonfeld, the daughter of a wealthy stationer of and after a few hours’ acquaintance induced her to marry him. She had intended to visit a sister in Ogden, Utah,but the couple stopped there only long enough for the marriage ceremony and for the happy groom to pass a bad check. On their way to this city they fell in with the members of the Berkeley track team, to whom Watkins represented himself as the nephew of Thomas W. Lawson, the copper king. Captain Hussey of the team indorsed two checks for. Watkins for $200 each. They were returned marked ‘no funds.” A warrant for the arrest of the young man was_sworn to, but he could not be located. He had stopped a week in Oak- land at a leading hotel, and departed without paying his bill. He then went to Santa Cruz, where he and his wife re- ined for a few days, after which he réturned to San Francisco. On July 18 Watkins met T. Wesley Wright, a young commission merchant who formerly lived in Montclair, N. J., and who was well acquaiinted with Wat- king' family. Watkins represented him- self as slightly embarrassed financlally, and requested that Wright indorse a check for him. The worthless paper was assed on the San Francisco Natlonal Quk, with which Wright had an ac- count. A few days later word came back that the check was valueless, except for evidence. The young rascal's relatives in New Jersey were communicated with, but stated that they could do nothing until Watkins was arrested. It {is expected, from the tone of their letters, that they will_be willing to make the bad checks good. The American Bankers' Assocla- tion, however, will not make settlements, ttxn(}‘fi?atk.lns ‘will undoubtedly have to go o jail. e — Fortune Too Late for Hermit. DENVER, Aug. 16.—A special to the Republican from Florence says the un- dertaker who had charge of the funeral of Thomas Whaley, who died recently in a “dug out” near Williamsburg, two miles from Florence, where he had lived for twenty vears as a hermit, has discovered that Whaley was the heir to a vast for- tune in England, On account of a love affair Whaley left his home in northwest Durham twenty years ago and since that time his sister, Mrs. R. Wilson, of Annes- field, Durham. England. has made con- stant though fruitless efforts to find him.

T LOCATES THE DESTROYED BOUNDARY MONUMENT Lieutenant Emmons’ Mission on the Frontier of Alaska Proves | Successful. VANCOUVER, B: C., Aug. 18.—Accord- ing to a_story brought to-night by the steamer Dolphin the remains of the old Russian boundary monument destroyed last year by Surveyor George White ser have been found by Lieutenant Em- mons, who was sent north from Wash- ington to make an investigation. Two monuments were found Intact, according to the statement of a man named Weise- man, who has just arrived .at Skagway from the interior. The site of the de- stroyed monument was near the Dalton trall. Skagway papers claim that the lo- cation of the broken-down monument shows that the Russlans occupled the now disputed territory and that the correct boundary line is where the Americans claim it to be.
