tuachin to Jacob A. Sciiiff and Gugitrn-
licUn's Sons was found this afternoon
when a letter foretelllnr an attempt ta
arsaElnate rich Jew here was brought
to light.
Thrs letter, breathing throughout a
hatred of the wealthy, was received by
Phlllp Cownt. pubUsher'of the American
Hebrew, laet ApriL He rend it hurried'
ly. saw that it was .probably the work of
a crank, and promptly turned it over to
Police .Commissioner SlcAdoo.
Since that time It has remained In t!:e
latur's office. It was not until to-day
that Mr. Cowen. comparing; the threat
the not? contained with the actual sending
.f the Lolobi. saw a connection between
the infonnation given by the anarchists
and the first move in their campaign.
The envelope bore the post mark of sta

Its reclpSmt that the writers, 'two Rus
sian and one American, had reolved tJ
wage a war against the rich Jewa here
because of their Influence and their wealth.
A for ii!melf. he was warned to take
care of himself. No harm was to come to
him. the letter declared, but he could not
tn too careful. At th bottom were the
three signatures, all ot which were hard
to decipher.
"At the time." said Mr. Cowen. "I paid
lltitrt attention to the remarkable mUMve.
anarchistic as it was. In fact, it had well
nigh slipped my mind when the sending of
the bombs last week set me to thinking."

the. Government.
Mr. O'Connor will receive a Iract of 14
acres, and will so West to lay claim to the
land. This must be done by September 11.
The claim which he received is at Provo.
t'tah. about twenty miles from Grand

large cities cfthat section.
It is necessary that the receiver of the
'claim should work the lands for at least
six months of every year. ar.J Mr. O'Con
nor 1.11 s that he will do this until the ex
piration of the time required to claim

Mr. O'Connor tells a peculiar tale of

Portland.
"Iteturr.tr.g frcm the exposition," said

Au(rut S. at 5 o'clock a. m., part of our
train was wrecked and we were brought
back t Grand Junction. In 'killing time'
about the stAtlon X noticed a large placard
marked -registration.' I asked tha station
ynt if an ejection was to be held, and
he replied that it was to reginer for
claims fcr the land.
"I learned that it would cost only IS
cents for a notary fee and decided to
make an application, little thinking that
more would become of my aignlag."
"I was told that it would be necessary
tn rwear before a notary that I waa an
American citizen. After doing thl I went
to the Department of the Interior office,
and I suddenly became downhearted when
I saw a crowd about three bfock long
lined up along the street awaiting their
turn.
"Not knowing what time th train
wculd be ready to start. I did not go to
the end of the line, but struck up a con
versation 'with a yosng chap about thirl
from the window. He had co objection
to my atepptsc tn front of him in the Una
and I presented my application."
Tat '! had ever expecte tn
com of the application. This morning I
was greatly surpnaea ta receive notice
that I had drawn Xo. UK. and waa allot

EARTHQUAKE SHAKES CITIES
IN THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
Shocks are Felt in St. Louis, Paducah, Ky.,
Cairo. 111., and in Various Towns and
' Settlements Along Central River
Region Last Night
SLEEPING RESIDENTS AWAKENED.
St. tmis and vicinity was visited by an
earthquake lat night shortly after 11
o'clock. Three distinct shocks were felt by
thousands or persona In 8t. Uouis and St.
Louis County, as far east as Indiana,
aa far south as Memphis and as far north
as Springfield. III.
While the tremors Uil'a .scarcly a min
ute, they were distinct enough to awake
sCccpinc; realent of the city, to cause
dogs to bik an alarm and to start sleep
ing children to wake and cry out In alarm.
The shocks, from a comparison af the
time they were felt In the districts visit
ed, scmed ta travel from east to west.
There was but an infinitesimal period be
tween the shocks, but a second interven
ing between the rlrrt and recond spasms,
and about three seconds between the sec
ond and third, or flna! shock.
The trembling of the earth was accom
panied by a dull, rumbling noise, which
sounded like Ihe pissing of a distant
freight train.
It was acrentuatj-il sufficiently to cause
an outpouring of frightened ixrrsons from
their houses to the streetr. iii sev'-rat sec
tions where It wa felt.
In bouses In widely separated pir. of
St. laitils. the timbers creaked audibly.
Ilshes and glasses rattled, and beds and
furniture shook. Immediately after the
third shock ten Hashes of light, accom
panied bj a report of thunder, were seen.
The first shock felt in St. Lou!t
