An Old Man Suicides
San Francisco, California, NO. 28—Strange developments have followed the fact that an old man knows as AUGUSTUS M. SCRIBA committed suicide in poor lodgings here. .. Among his effects was found a letter in which the deceased declared himself as a lineal descendant of Alfred the Great, Edmund Ironside, Charlesmagne, Otho the Great, Malcolm Canmore and St. Margaret. But little was paid to the letter. Further investigation revealed a recorded lineage, elegantly printed and bound, running over 300 years and undoubtedly established the old man’s claims. Other papers prove that he was well known in New York, practicing aw and that he came here from Portland, Oregon where he was in 1892 the vice-president of the NATIONAL GUARNTEE & TRUST CO. He was an examiner of national banks in New York in 1886. He was A letter from JOHN T. AGNEW to ABRAM S.

Man Found Murdered
Wednesday afternoon of last week, Nov. 22, a mile west of Briar Creek bridge, near No. 6, the body of an unknown man was found badly mutilated, under a pecan tree on the creek. He had evidently been murdered, then robbed, as his skull had been crushed in with a club and his neck and throat cut with a knife. The man had been killed previous to the rain early this week and the body was removed to Lehigh for interment. From papers found in the creek near where the corpse was found, it was surmised that his named was C. J. NELSON, as the day before Nelson was missed, a man by that name applied to MR. WILLIAMSON, boss of the strip mine, for work and was told by the latter to call another time as he had nothing for him to do that day. Among these papers is a letter from a Kansas niece and a bank book showing $140 deposited at the state bank in Arkansas City. There was a letter from Germany… On his person was only a buckskin string such as are used in the vest as watch guard and it was cut. There were papers showing that he had acquired a claim in the strip. He was light complected, probably of Swedish descent, 5’6’ in height, weighed about 165 pounds, inclined to heavy set, and sandy moustache. We understand that one or two persons have been arrested on suspicion, but on examination, nothing was developed against them and they were discharged. Later Monday of this week, deputy marshals, JIM CALE and JOE SELF, arrested a man named BURCH at the Half-Way House, who is suspected of the crime and he has been taken to Paris, Texas for examination.

Immediately Turner became violently enraged and began denouncing his host in the most vehement. Afton resented the insult and producing his knife, he made Turner get his knife, whereupon a bloody duel was fought. Turner’s family having become alarmed, ran to a neighbor to notify them of the murderous proceedings…

Much indignation and excitement prevails among the miners and citizens, owing to the general opinion of the engineer being unpardonably careless, though he had the credit of staying at his post until the downward cage had struck the bottom and the other had shot up through the roof of the shaft and through the heavy timbers.
