a i a FACE TOMBSTONE Profile of the Murderer Appeared Therson. CHEROKER, Ia, April 1%—A real or fancted similarity between his features and those shown tn the veining of the marble slab over the Staves of Mr. and Mra Martin Schults, of thie place, has landed Oscar Nellis, of Lodi, § D., in the county jail here with a charge of murder hanging over him. The case ts one of the most remarkable tn the criminal history of the state. | Mr. and Mra. Schults were an aged couple Uving on a farm near Cher- okee, They were supposed to have Detween $2000 and $8000 concealed tn their house. Though frequently ad- vised that it was unsafe to keep so large a sum by them, they persist~ ently refused to bank it. On the night of August 16, 1593, both were brutally murdered and about $500 taken from their horde. In his haste the slayer had evident ly overlooked the balance of the money. Shults's head had been al- most sawed off with what must have been an exceedingly dull knife. One of his wrists was also deeply gashed as if his assailant had slashed across it to compel him to relax his grip on the latter. Mre. Schulta’s body lay just out- side of the front door, The suppost- tion ts that she started to run out was slain with an ax. ‘Suspects invariably succeeded tn se~ curtog their acquittal. Finally all hope of ever apprehending the crim- inal was abandoned—dy all but one man.

Nellis ciatms to be able to prove an alibi. He is an industrious farm- er, 2 age, and has a wife Advices received from Republic state that Allan R. Blackburn has jumped the Gold Ledge. He would not state his reasons for #0 doing, except to say that the shaft of the Gold Ledge was sunk on vacant ground, and was not claimed by any one, and he had simply exercised his undoubted right. The {mpression prevails that it was done for the purpose of tying up the property in a law suit, Manager Lilienthail has left on the Grand Forks stage for home. He was communicated with at Cascade and advised of the Jump- ine. The Insurgent mine at Republic t# Said to be the feature of the market and most of the brokers are hunt- ing up this stock. One frm, who fold short some dave back, has pocketed a loss of $200 and started In again to pick up all the loome stock they could with the hope that be- fore many days the shares will have Teached a figure to pull them even. Supt. Rosenthal, of the Gold Ledge | at Republic, has shipped « thousand pounds of ore from that claim to Spokane. He will have it treated by mill process, and thereby ascertain the values to a nicety. Nothing but assays have been made so far, and therefore the amount of ore will ac tually mill f# unknown. The tert will set at rest the question of the value of the ore In the Gold Ledge If it proves as rich by actual teat fas the assays have shown the claim ‘will at once take a front rank among the properties of the camp, Assays made recently of samples of ore from the %-foot shaft on the | Sullivan mine in Kast Kootenay, B C., give a value of $59 per ton. The ore came from one side of the ledge, and as it contained considerable fron, the officers of the company | 1 thought little value would be ob tained. Much to their astonishment the above high assay resulta were | given ‘The shaft on the Gold Ledge at| Austin Mullins shot and killed Geo. Republic i# down 62 feet. Only one shift is employed as it would be in- convenient for a night shift to work there without suitable buildings. ,an argument, Mullins escaped, After the property has been shown to be suificlently valuable to war- rant the erection of machinery, a PUMP and steam holat will be put In position, News from Northport, Wash, says that mechantos’ liens have been fied against the Coyote mine, owned by the Scottiah American Mining & Milling company, and foreelo suits have been instituted in the eu pertor court to foreclose the len which aggregate about $1000, Parti holding th claims againat the company are of the opinion that the Scottish stockholders have made ar rangements for thelr payment, but that the money has been misapplied in some way, The parties holding the lens believe that the company will satiafy them before allowing the property to be eokd, ax it le the gea- eral opinion that the mine will prove | on further development to be a val- | uable property. Assayer Armstrong stated tast | evening that the ore on the Sally Ann tunnel near Republic, one of the properties of the company, gave | assays ranging: from $19 to $46 por | ton. The tunnel i# belng driven on the ledge and Its face ts nearly 250 feet below the surface. At the point | where last crossuct the ledge was | 12 feet wide, j From the Lake Shore mine, at Fort Steele, B.C. they are ship: ping two carloads of ore per month, with a net return of from 830 to $93 per ton. Tiis gives the owners $1200 per month to distribute between | them, They have also about $10,000 | worth of concentrating ore on the | dumps. Work has also started with 4 force of four men on the Mamileck claim, adjoining the Lake Shore mine, One hundred and fifty pounds of rich ore were taken recently from/has had many distinguished mem- | the mines of the Gold Mountain | group, located 12 miles from Kellar on the west branch of Nine Mile | creek, six miles east from the San Jotl river.

FALSE CHARGES CAUSE INSANITY in Loses His Reason When Charged With Crime, OAKLAND, Cal, April 18.—An ill- founded charge that he had default- ed the petty sum of $1.3 has wreck- ed the mind of Joseph Turner, jr.. and almost resulted tn the brutal murder of his defenseless mother. Turner ts 18 years old and resid- ed with his parents and sister in Alameda. Until a few days ago he waa a trusted employe at Le Count Bros.’ wholesale stationery house in San Francisco. According to the story given by the father at the amination of his son today, the ta ter was recently accused of being short $1.35 in his accounts. The books were inspected and all was found correct. Then the young man gave his accuser, another employe, sound trouncing, whereupon the firm dismissed him from their service. His discharge so worrted him that sickness came and with it mental derangement. For sevoral nights the older Turner sat up watching his son but yesterday the exhaustion result- e4 in « fainting spell. While the father was in this condition the tr sane son secured a baseball bat, de claring that he intended killing his mother and sister. But for the time- ly reviving of the father, who inter- coded the women would have met death. ‘Then the young man's another turn and he throw furniture an4 glassware out of the windows. Finally he attempt- ed to set fire to the house. He was brought to the receiving hompital today in a tightly closed carriage had to be strapped down.
