Town'Marshal Jack Wallace is posi
tive iat Thompson Was murdered.
Tho ripglstrato will continue his ex
amination of witnesses Tuesday
.moroljg at 8 o'clock. Marshal Wal
lace p-hlght talked of getting blood
hounds, but It is now believed that
no tia.ll could be' followed because so
mani people have visited tho spot.
Tie mystery in tho murder Is its
envfonraent. The wooded bluff
wlvfe Thompson's body wbb found
is ! lonely spot, hard of access. Why
heohduld have gone there, or for
wltt purpose, is a puzzle. The hlll
sIJ Is steep and overgrown with un
dJibrush. There is no road at its
bfje. The only easy way to get there
vbuld be by passing through the
cmetery. Why Thompson went
81 ere, or whether he was persuaded
p go there to keep an appointment
it some secret nature, are things tho
ho, officials are trying to And out.
So far as can bo learned to-night,
.thero was no sane reason for his
going to the place. That ho inlgnt
(have been murdered at some other
place and his body carried into the
woods, Is, a theory now advanced.
The discovery of the body is to
night the sole theme of talk in the
city. No crime in a score of years
has been surrounded with such a
blanket of mystery. Tho officials

A Nickel Towards It,
In a New York streot car a young
man attracted the attention of the
other passengers by leaping from his
seat and picking up something from
between the slats of the floor. Then
he asked, "Did anybody lose a $5
gold piece?" A ministerial looking
man got up from his seat at tho oth
er end of the car and started toward
the young man with outstretched
hand.
"Yes." he said, "I dropped a $5
gold piece when I got on, but owing
to the crush I couldn't find it"
"Very well," said the young man
glee(ully, "here's a nickel towards
It." Youngstown Telegram.

IKY MILLIONS
Says He Owes His Success
to His wife.
HER GRIT USD PEBSMCE
Encouraged Him to Continue
Until Great Wealth
Was Attained.
THE STOltV OP AN Olli ICING
Pittsburg, PenH., Dec. 31. Asked
by a newspaper for an expression as
to what porson, incident or combina
tion of circumstances he considered
he owed his success, Joseph C. Trees,
head of the oil company which has
Just sold its Louisiana oil holdings
alone for $90,000,000, answered
without hesitation: "To my wife Is
due my success."
And then the Oil King, football
player, &c, who has Just given his
old school, the University of Pitts
burg, a $200,000 stadium, unfolded
a remarkable story of the grit and
foresight of his wife. Fourteen years
ago she picked him up when he was
down and out and by her grit in
sisted that he go on groping for oil,
aBuring him that he was sure to
make a success, that he could not
fall, &c. And ho went on and made
the success.
According to Tree's own state
ment, 14 years ago ho had already
drilled eight wells, all of them dry,
and had decided to work as a laborer
for the rest of his life, as it would
take him all that time to pay the
debts he had Incurred in sinking the
eight dry holes, but the little wife
would not let him give up. Trees
says:
"I went home that day and said to
my wife, 'It's all over, little girl.
She's come in a duster. We're done
for. We'll go back home and I'll
get work and do just as I used to.'
Ulut she said, "No, no, wo can't stop
now. Wo are not beaten yet. Try
again, Joe, Just once more.' "
It was in vain, according to the
Oil King, that he tried to argue
with his wife that all the money he
had in tho world was gone, that he
was in debt, &c. She Insisted that
he make arrangements to drill one
-He-went but next morn.
ing and managed to secure a work
ing interest in what was known as
tjho Proxy lease. Ho located and
drilled a well on It which came in
strong. It did not make a fortune
for himself and his partners, but It
was enough to get him back on his
feet. Once started upward, "Joe"
Trees could not be stopped with such
a wife.
