"Tho richest woman in tho world, the

The report spread quickly among the

in other cheap psents. .Driven by a com

box where the count and countess Hut,
and, pushing, elbowing and fighting, in

GOLD TOOTH FOUND
IN GUINNESS HOME
BY SEARCHERS
Retiows Bolief Murderess May Have
Perished in ttao Flames; Police Are
Searching for Traces of Her Escape,
But Prove Futile Thus Far.
LA POIiTK, lud., May J 2. A gold
crown tooth found among the debris
of the Gunness homo is believed to be
from the head of Mrs. Belle (unities.
This evidence would tend to show that
the first theory, that the alleged mur
deress perished in the flames which de
stroyed her house, were correct. The
police have been scouring the country
in the expectation that she was still
alive and could be apprehended, but
so for they have found no traces.
Louis Schulte, employed by the
sheriff to sluice the ashes of tho dull
ness home and pan for gold, completed
his apparatus today and began tests.
Additional evidence of the methods by
which persons whose corpses were found
in t he ( uuness farm, came to t heir
death were unearthed today, by the
finding of about two dozen pairs of
scissors bent nnd curved in the fash
ion of surgical instruments and three
knives, two of a surgical character and
the third unmistakably a dirk. In the
absence of evidence to the contrary, it
is believed the dirk may have been the
chief weapon employed in the series of
murders. Knives and scissors are
thought to have beeu used in dismem
bering the bodies.
Further mystery in the dullness rase
was revealed by the report of Dr. ,1.
Lucius Gray, who performed the autopsy,
on the body which the authorities have
steadfastly claimed was that of Mrs.
Belle (iunuess.
Dr. dray tells that three rings were
found ou the corpse and reveals the fact
that the right hand hitherto declased
missing is still in existence. Two rings
with the inscriptions "P. S. to .1. 8.,
Aug. 22 '!V "'id the other "I. d.
to J. S., March o, '!.", Mrs. dimness'
husband was Peter dunness, but the
identity of S. is n puzzle which the
authorities have apparently been un
able to explain.
RAILROAD LAND LOCATORS
ARE BEING INVESTIGATED
RoSFIU'ltd, Or., May 12. The in
vestigation by postal inspectors Cle
ment, and Riches of the method used by
C. 1. Leavengooil in inducing people to
lite tin O. & ('. railroad laud, it tran
spires, is not confined to Leaveugood
alone, but to others in this city who
have also beeu in this Hue of busi
ness. The only difference between
Leaveugood ami the others is that the
former did by far tho larger amount of
business in this line. The postal in
spectors will report t heir findings to
tho Pniled Stales attorney, who will
lake such action as the evidence war
rants. The land operators are very careful
to in no way incriminate themselves.
They do Iheir work through agents at
a distance, such as at Seattle, Port
land and even in Idaho. The agents np
prpoach the prospective applicant and
ia glowing terms describe the chances
that will be his to secure KiO acres of
the finest of limber lands for the small
sum of .2.o per acre. The applicant is
then told that a small sum is needed for
attorneys' fee and the expenses of fil
ing I he request with the company offi
cials at Sau Francisco, about $100 be
ing the sum usually secured. When the
operator gels together about f0 of these
applications he goes to San Frum-isco
and presents them to the proper offi
cials, at the same lime tendering $-o(t
for each applicant. The officials
promptly consign tho applications to
the waste basket. The operator's obli
gal ion is t hus discharged, and he re
turns home to await the gathering of
another bunch of applical ions, which
for the pasi six mouths have been flow
ing in in a steady stream. In no way
does the operator promise anything, or
ia no way guarantee that the applicant
is the first to file on this land, nnd in
some caes as many as 2- applicant
have filed on the same Bio acres.
The operator is so very careful in his
work that it i doubtful if any charge
can be brought ante ome of the glow
ing circulars sent out are ia conflict
wit h t he postal taw.

Bursting Dam, Causes Bad
Washout on the Great
Northern-Nearly Causes
Wreck of Overland Train
W K X A TCI I K K, Wash., M ay 1 2.
With a roar that could be heard for
mill's around, the waters of Lily hake
came rolling down t he Steniilt Creek
canyon, about five miles from We
nntchee this morning at 4 o'clock, in a
flow that swept everything that came
in its way. .lust before it found its
way into the Columbia river, it washed
out about (in feet of the dreat Northern
roadbed, just a few minutes before the
dreat Northern overland came speed
ing along, eastward bound.
The engiueer ou the train, seeing a
man waving his arms frantically, "put
on tho air" with such force that the
passengers were thrown from their
seals, but in time to avoid what might
have been one of the worst wrecks
ver on the dreat Northern, nnd the
t rain raiiin to a stop just three rail
lengths from the undermined truck.
The train backed up to Wenatehec,
where it wailed until 2 o'clock this af
ternoon white section men mnde tbe
road passable for traffic. Trainmen
and (he passengers could not find words
sufficient to praise the rancher, Glenn
Young, who saved them.
Idly Lake is located about niuo miles
up in tho mountains. The outlet is
dammed up and the waters of tho Inke
stored for irrigation purposes during
the summer bv fruit ranchers in the
surrounding country. It covers about
100 acres and tho water at this season
of the year stands about Hi foot deep
in the lake. Last evening a hard rain
visited this region. The dam burst nnd
the waters, in a resistless flood, swept
away livestock, barns and everything
in its path. The county bridges are cur
ried out, likewise headgates of irriga
tion ditches. The waters of Steiriilt
creek are usunllv easily carried under
l he tracks through a culvert, but tho
ood tore tho culvert away and under
mined the roadbed for rods on each
side. No human life was lost, as far as
known.

IT WILL BE TAFT,
BUT ALLIES DNEY IT
WASHINGTON, May 12. Despite
the fact that so many republican con
vent ions are declaring for Taft, I hose
ipposed to the secretary s nomination
deny that he will be nominated on Ihe
first ballot. It now seems impossible
that tho republican national convention
nil be stampeded to Roosevelt.
Tim coalition against Taft thus dis
usses the situation:
"The balance of power in the Chi
ago convention will bo held by uu-
instructcd delegates who will be freo
to take such action as may at the time
seem for the best in the party.
"it is for a convention so construct'
d a view nf the unprecedented condi
tions confronting tho republican party
that t he opposit ion to Secretary Taft
has contended.
'The most significant development of
the past week hus been tho revelation
in tho primaries in Texas and Califor
nia, and the state convention in Ctah
that Secretary Taft is only the second
choice of those who havo been identi
fied In those stales with Ihe Taft move
ment. Whilo this phase of tho Taft
movement has been successfully em
ployed to secure tho support of certain
Wall street interests in the eust, it is
vidence of the lack of spontaneity and
lability of the Taft support.1'
