The St. Louis Boodle Cases
Two Checks Aggregating $47,500

Contract.
St. I.ouis, Sept. 26. ? Development*
in the "Hoodie" investigation
were sensational today, mi b poena*
having been issued at the
iostanco of Circuit Attorney Folk
CDiumanding Broker dames C.
Campbell and Win. Herd, his
cashier, to appear in court with
two checks a??sjroiratin?r $47,500.
dated November 2S, 1S09, and
payable to Etl Butler, r. prominent
losal politician, and to explain
the purposes for which the
checks were drawn. It was found
on investigation by the grand jury
that both checks had been cashed
and returned to Hroker Campbell.
The date of these checks,
was the same as the day on which
the ton year lightning bill pasted
the house of delegates, for which
nineteen members are said to have
received $2,500 each for their
votes. Up to a late hour deputy
sheriffs wero unable to serve the
subpoenas. At Broker Campbell's
office it was stated that Reed had
not been there since yesterday
and that his employer was in the
east.
Another session of the grand
jury was hold to-day, several witnesses
being examined. The last
session before the final meeting
and report of Monday will be
held tomorrow. An additional
ffort to secure the release on
writs of habeas corpus, of the
four former members of the house
of delegates, who are now in jail
awaiting trial on charges of bribery
and perjury, failed. Judge
Valiant, of the supremo court,
before whom this petition was
taken denied the application, d?o
claring lie had no jurisdiction.
Hard On The Jews.
Washington, Sept. 20.?The
report that the goverraent of
Roumania has discontinued the
issuunce of passports to Jews intending
to emigrate to America,
though not officially confirmed,
is regarded by tho Washington
authorities as an immediate and
direct recognition by Roumania
of tho accuracy of the statements
made by Secretary Hay in the
note respecting the evils of this
Jewish immigration and the underlying
cause. Tho reported
suspension of emigration would
be regarded as removing the only
direct issue between tho United
States and Roumania and while
we may continue to have a deep
concern in the betterment of tho
condition of Roumanian Jews,
the United States government
must, for tho time, rest content
with what it has done in tho issue
of the note to the powers. 1

A Wealthy Patron Slaughtered
by the Waiters Head Hack- i
od Oil With Cleaver and
Put in Furnace?
Kobbery ttie Objeet.
New Voik, Sept. 27.?dames
l?. Craft, a wealthy resident of
Glen Cove, L. I., was murdered
today, and his body decapitated
in a tenderloin resort known as
the Empire Garden cafe in West
Twenty-ninth street, within a few
doors of Broadway. All the
evidence goes to show, say the
police, that Craft, who had been
making the rounds of the tenderloin,
incautiously displayed a
large amount ot money in the
Empire and was killed by one of
the waiters known as Thomas
Tobin for the purpose of robbery.
The police also say that knockout
drops were first administered
and that then the victim was
dragged into the basement and
killed with a cleaver.
The odor of tunning flesh at
traded the attention of the occupant
of the upper part if the
house early this morning and led
to the discovery by detectives of
Lho nude and headless holy of a |
man iu the basement. The chur- i
red head was discovered a few ]
minutes later in the furnace, in <
which a tire had been recently I
made with the evident intention "
>f destroying all possibility of <
dent ideation of the remains. '
Later the body was identified by i
SValter Craft of Glen Cove as t
hat of his father. The murder- 1
id man was about 51 yoars of i
ige and was a manufacturer of i
efrigerating machinery in Cort- '
andt street, this city. t
Tobin, who is charged w ith i
he murder, was caught hiding in i
he house. l ho polico also ar- t
ested Alexander McAnernoy, I
he bartender, Hubert Kelly, a t
loiter in a Chinese restaurant in i
he building, and several women 1
vho were known to lie frerjuoncrs
of the plucc. The police ?
aid tonight th;it Tohin's real (
lame is Thomas Kelly and that K
ic is a brother of the porter 11
velly. They also learned that 1
'raft attempted to get a check '
or $1,250 cashed before lie went t
o the Empire. c
a. woman nameu Mamie Moore, ^
vho is known to have been in the 1
>lace with Craft and who is held i
is a witness, made an important '
tatement tonight which the po- i
ice declined to make public. She 1
s suid to have implicated Mc- '
Vnerney as an accomplice of (
robin.
There arc now 2t) homicide 1
:ases in the tombs, including ^

nordered of Mrs, Pulitzer. 1
At the examination at the coro- 1
ier'? oflice the police declared 1
hat they found on Tobin, Me* 1
Vnerney and Kelly letters and 1
lapers belonging to tho doad man. 1
n his s'%ry to tho coroner Mc- *
Vnerney said the man who was 1
;illed exhibited a big roll of bills, *
ml Tobin suddenly told him he *
ied and struck him over the A
mad. Ho drn<rcred him down (

mo of the lower floors he picked ."

"I fallowed him to the eellor " *
dcAnerncy continued, watch- f

As McAnernoy related the
tory Tobin jumped to his feet a
nd said it was Me. \norncy who *
nurdered the man and not he. i
[For The Ledger
Observations m the Kocky Moun
tains.
Mr. Editor: A*ill you pleas
allow mo space in your column
in order that 1 may present to tli
people wf my native county som
observations in the Kocky Moun
tains. Just two years ago I lei
old Lancaster and after travelin
over a large part of the Unite
States and Canada, spont nearl
two years in the Fan Handle o
Texas. 1 came to Colorado dm
iug the latter part of June, an
after spending a two months vaca
turn visiting Denver, Doublet
Manitou, Colorudo Springs, Pue
bio, Trinidad and mnny othc
points of interest in the state
canto out to Grand Junction.
Leaving Denver at 8 p. m. ove
the D. & It. G. It. It., sun vis
tinds you near Lcadville at an al
titudoof 1100 feet. The trai
there is just about us high as th
timber line. It is only a shot
ride until you are swiftly tnoviu
over the famous Tennessee Past
and in a moment more, you ar
on the great Western Slope of th
I'nited States, or in western lan
guage "over the range," at th
source of the Grand River. T
the right is the famous Mount c
the 11 oly Cross. The cross beinj
plainly discernible. Numerou
mining camps and small towns ar
passed before you enter the Cano
M the Grand river, whore durin,
the ages past, the water has grad
tally worn its way down throng
lie rocks until there is scarcel
room for the train and river, wit
mountains of rock towering sev
iral thousand feet uhove. It is
wonderful scone and is awe inspir
ng. Another hour has passei
ind you are at Glenwood Springs
'The Saratoga of the Wosttri
Slope." This place is famous fo
ts hot and vapor cave baths, also
ts very tine hotel. The water o
lie hot springs is 127 deg. Fahren
leit. After passing a few mon
owns of lesser note, noon tindi
is at Grand Junction, our nev
tome.
The town is beautifully situatec
t the junction of the Grand ami
Tiinnison rivers; is a little city o
ome live thousand people, 45<
niles west of Denver and 281
i iles cast of Salt Lake. Th<
dttle Rock CliU mountains lie t<
he north, the Grand Mesa to th*
>nst and the Book Cliffs to th
vest. Ages ago what is no\
mown as Grand Valley, was i
peat lake nearly 2000 ft. deep
The outlet of this great inland se
,vas Grand river, which has grad
uilly drained what I will tern
'Grand Lake" preparing a nei
;ountry for man's abode.
This is one of the most famon
fruit growing valleys in Ari
\merica and not excelled by Cal
fornia. One of the (irst.things
loticcd in the town was a cub bag
c?
weighing twenty pounds, an<
light a]>j)les placed in u row
lioasuring one yard in length,- a
iverage of sixteen and one-hal
ounces euch. Grapes, peaches
dums and pears grow in propor
ion to the ahoye cabbage. Cal
my of our Lancaster farmers bea
his? Possibly in another year o
wo the growing of sugar beet
vill ho the chief industry, as i
jccupics no inferior position a
he present -time. Almost urn
icrc of land will produce fort1
nishols of wheat without bcin<
crtilizod. Improved fruit farms
vith water rights, range in prici
rom $100.00 to $300.00 per acre
Joal is cheap, #2.50 per ton, de
