LITTLE CHJLD THE LAST
Kutle Prltechlcr's Body Found With
in Mock of Placard Announc
ing Disappearance.
New York, Aug. 1. "The Grave
yard," as the foreign populated
neighborhood on First avenue, be
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets Is known locally, gave up to
day a fresh crime rivaling In atrocity
the mysterious butcheries of last
week. The latest discovered victim
was an eight-year-old girl and like
the two young women vho were
Hurdered last week, she had been
shockingly mistreated before death
and the body mutilated when life
was extinct. The three murders are
strikingly similar. Last Thursday a
woman was strangled in i Twenty
second street boarding house. Next
morning the body of an unidentified
womfln, who had been choked to
death, was found in an areaway in
East Nineteenth street. Katie
Pritechler is the name of the latest
victim found. She Is the daughter
of the restaurant waiter who disap
peared a week ago today and was
killed that night. A ribbon was
placed about her throat and drawn so
tightly that it cut the ilesh, and
showed how she died.
If the brutality of the murders can
he graded that of the Pritechler girl
ranks first. She was assaulted, mur
dered and then her lifeless form hor
ribly mutilated. Her body was dis
covered today within a block of her
homo and scarcely 100 yards from
the location of the placaid placed by
her father calling attention to the
lact that the child was lost. How
the body could have remained undis
covered for a week is not explained.
The body lay on a berry crate with
seemingly no effort at concealment.
Coroner Harburger declared the
crimes in Berlin are not in one
thousandth part as bad as the mur
der of this girl. At the coroner's di
rection, Gateno Rlppolano, whose
cobbler shop adjoins the girl's home
was arrested and asked to' explain his
absence from the shop last Friday.
He established the fact he had spent
the day at Bristol, Conn.
The girl is known to have fre
quented the Rlppolano place and a
search of the shop brought to light
a man's shirt which bore red stains.
The cobbler was arrested, and re
manded to the coroner. The police
also began a search for' a woman
who is said to have formerly roomed
at the Pritschler home, but who left
there after a quarrel and took lodg
ing in tho house- ffhero the girl's
body was found. When the news of
tho finding of the llttlo one's body
spread through the neighborhood the
excitement rose to such a pitch that
the removal of the body and arrest
of Rippalano caused almost a riot.
Many thousands persons were in the
nearby streets When the wagon from
tho morgue arrived. At sight of the
covered body tho crowd gave vent to
Its grief and rage in a babel of
tongues.
Tho police were compelled to use
force to get through the street Soon
afterward tho arrest of tho cobbler
became known and tho crowd
charged tho prisoner's shop. Rlppo
lano had been safely removed to a
station house but his shop windows
were smashed and only the determin
ed front of the -police reserves pre
vented greater damage. John Kusk
micho, tho Russian watchman, un
der arrest as a suspicious person and
who is said to have been seen in
company of the girl, whose body was
found in the areaway on East Ninth
street, was today remanded without
hail until Saturday. No clew to the
murder In Twenty-second street was
secured today.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TO MEET TONIGHT
, Port vominission and Other Matters
of hitcrc-st Will Be Brought
Before Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce will be held tonight
i
' in the headquai ters on Front street.
j There are many items of importance
to be discussed at this meeting, and
it will likely take up a great part
of the evening. Among the inter
esting till :tj-s to be heard will be an
address by a Marshfleld citizen upon
a topic which has never been dis
cussed before tho Chamber of Com
merce and one1 which is certain to
create interest among the farmers
in the county, as well as among
others who are anxious for the pro
gress of the country.
Tho report of the committee ap
pointed to confer with a similar com
mittee from North Bend regarding
the proposal to obtain a port com
mission for Coos Bay will also be
heard.
The Hon. J. W. Bennett has been
given the choice of making an ad
dress or subscribing the small
amount yet needed for tho hotel
stock, and while the amount is not
large, with the improvements and
new buildings Mr. Bennett and his
associates have on hand, it is a safe
guess that he will c-me through with
an address and leave tho subscrip
tion to somebody else.
Tho meetings are becoming more
and more absorbing, and every mem
ber should make it a point to be out
every Friday night and learn what
Is going on. The North Bend Cham
ber of Commerce also meets tonight
and there are many questions to be
discussed there.

CALL OF COOS BAY
' AND ITS ANSWER
The Chamber of Commerce has
several thousand neat llttlo folders
for general distribution which are
appropriate things to send to a
friend in some other part of the
country, or to people inquiring about
tho Coos Bay country. Tho "Call
of Coos Bay" as originally published
in the Coos Bay Magazine, and the
answer to tho poem are printed on
the folder. The former was written
by Francis H. Clarke, of Coos Bay,
and the answer by J. E. Johnson, of
Oakes, North Dakota. There is some
apprehension as to Mr. Johnson's
safety since he wrote such a stirring
and earnest poem, promising to
come, and ho has not been seen yet.
Perhaps ho remained to harvest one
more crop before deserting old Da
kota for good.

MT SWINDLER
ARRESTED
Howard Clover of Alcohol Plant
Fame Falls Into Law's
Clutches.
MISREPRESENTED HIMSELF
Masqueraded Under the Guise
of a Capitalist,
DISPLAYED GREAT FINESSE
In the Role of ir-Wealthy Shipowner
He Separated Local Poeple
From Their Money.
Howard K. Clover has been found.
He has arisen from the grave as it
were and resumed work in other
pastures, far from the quiet inlets
and pretty farms of Coos Bay. It
was surmised at the time his obitu
ary was published In tho Coos Bay
Harbor that the fleeting Clover was
not fatally dead and would likely
turn up In some other portion of tho
continent, or would be turned up by
some officer of the law. He has been
deeply mourned by the lntlmato
friends ho made while on Coos Bay
and separated from various Bums of
cold cash by one and another pre
tense. It will be vividly recalled by at
least a few, that this Clover blossom
was a flower while ho operated on
Coos Bay. He was representative
and owner of the Clover Leaf line of
steamboats; he was captain of this
or the other boat; he was suave to
a nicety and could peddle Death Val
ley atmosphere with the best. Ho
made a great hit with many C003
Bay people and some have not yet
recovered. Coos Bay advertised her
promised alcohol plant far and wide.
Clover was going to build It. Ho
looked like the goods. Ho was a man
of fine physique and woro a hand
some Van Dyke beard. Ho was a man
to inspire, confidence, and It seems
he knew it. Anyway, ho worked
along lines that cause such a conclu
sion. He was wined and dined and
then ho went away to complete his
plans.
Tho next heard of him was
through the Harbor. Poor Clover
had been killed in u railroad wreck
in Illinois, and sorrowing friends had
attended the last sad rites. That was
thought to bo tho last of Clover. But
those who had parted company with
him while he was still indebted to
them had other views than belief in
the story of his being killed in a
railroad wreck and from the follow
ing despatch, it is quite evident somo
body has been Interested enough in
his whereabouts to get In touch with
him if possible. The result will
probably be extradition from Cali
fornia and a grand reception for him
by Sheriff Gago at his Coquille ro
sort. His return will be Incomplete with
tho absence of Editor Salu, who
found so much amusement in
Clover's vagaries. Tho following
clipping from the Oregonian Is solf
oxplanatory: "Los Angoles, Cai., July 29.
'Captain' Howard C. Clovor, who to
day pleaded not guilty In the United
States District Court to an indict
ment charging him with Impersonat
ing a naval ofllcer, Is said to have
Imposed upon a lot of farmers in tho
Coos Bay, Or., region. Ho wont
there, it Is stated, as a retired naval
ofllcer, and said ho would erect a
factory for manufacturing alcohol
from pqtatoes. Ho told the farmers,
according to tho story, to plant all
the 'spuds' they could and he would
handh them, also that If they needed
seed tho governmont would provide
it. It is claimed that before tho fac
et ry scheme matured Clover got a
draft for $350 cashed and decamped.
The draft was returned, it is alleged,
as worthless, and Clover never wont
back to Coos Bay,
