TARDY CLAIMANT PUTS IN A PLEA FOR GOLD Iowa Corporation Appears as a Cred- itor of Free Gold Mining Company. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 10.—Something of a | was sprung in the Superior Court this morning ‘when Shirley C. Ward | of Los Angeles appeared, representing the | “ommutation” Credit Company of Sioux | vy, lowa, claiming to be a creditor of | the Free Gold Minicg Company and the | Golden Cross Mining Compan f which Isaac Trumbo of San Francisco was re- ceiver until a short time ago. | Some months ago, in one of the hearings of the case of the Free Gold Mining Com- pany against James Spears and others, it was believed that all of the claims of the Trumbo receivership had been settled by a compromise in which ‘all parties intér- ested were supposed to have participated. Now comes Ward, who claims that his client was not represented at the time. He objects to the compremise and to all other action in the case and all orders made | which preclude his coming in for the $5,- 000 claimed, ahead of some of the other | creditors who were represented in the | compromis | There was strong objection on the part of the other creditors, on the ground that | the Towa corpordtion-had . not properly laid | a fundation for its appearance in the case. The question will be submitted on briefs. e = Called to a Tacoma Pulpit. TACOMA, Oct. }0.—Rev. Arthur H.

OMONA, Oct. 10.—It is now gen- erally believed that the assassin of Lizzie Smith will never be known. Every hint or suspicion 4s to any person who possibly might have desired the death of the pret- ty young girl. has been faithfully fol- lowed and not the least clew has been | found. ¢ It was believed that a clew td the as- assin might be had in certain threaten- ing letters which the dead girl is ‘said to, have received from a jilted voung man in Fresno. Three of the girl's friends say that she told them last week that she had angered a store clerk in Fresno be- cause she had left that town and re- turned to. Pomona without having 'said “‘good-by" to him. It was suspected that he had followed her to Pomona and that he might have been the man who lay In wait for her on Tuesday evening and shot her as she was riding gayly home from Chino with her oldtime Pomona sweet- heart, Andreas Trinkle. But whatever the theories and suspicions along this line they undoubtedly will come to naught. To-day every letter and scrap of .paper left behind by the dead girl was exam- ined by the District Attorney of San Bernardino County and Mrs. Smith, and not a bit of information was foupd. to The detectives ' having abandoned all efforts to get any clew in Chino to. the factory opinion as to why any one should take the life. of a mere schoolgirl, the | people of Chino Valley have ceased their | discussions of this most mysterious case. | “It is a most unusual case and it is as lie in walt among the trees.n .Chino | there and then to shoot at her so care- fully and accurately in.the darkness of- the night is a problem that will' always bother all who have tried .to solve this case.” FIND NO TRAGE OF STRYGHNINE Officers Search Home of Mrs. Wigger in San Mateo.
