Crockford's
Wife
By SADIE OLCOTT
On* day a man named Crocktord
went to his bank, drew $500 aud was
about to go out when be stopped and
said to the paying teller:
"Look right over my shoulder. You
see tbat young Italian looking fellow
with a striped waistcoat and felt ha!
with a fancy baud? Well, when 1 goi
through counting the money you paid
me I turned suddenly and caught the
fellow looking at the bills with a cov
etous expression on bis face. You
know that there are a lot of robberies
committed by persons seeing some one
draw money from a bank."
"Why don't you call a policeman to
see you home or wherever you are
going?"
"Because 1 don't believe I shall die
till my time conies, and when It does
nothing can save me."
The disappearance of Stephen Crock
ford was one of the great mysteries
of the close of the nineteenth century.
The police had a very strong clew, but
Were unable to follow it A bank
clerk gave them the Incident tbat has
been told above, and they did not
doubt that the Italian bad murdered
Crockford. but when or where oi
what had been done with the body
they failed to discover. The only oth
er clew in the matter was furnished
by Mrs. Crockford. Uer husband
when coming home from the city often
made a short cut over a patb through
a wood. She searched the wood and
In a part so thick that few ever went
into it she found the remains of a Ore.
and some wood corded near bad visi
bly diminished. In the ashes she
found some bits of bone and burned
flesh. She picked up also an unburn
ed piece of a man's cuff. This she took
to a laundry wiiere ber husband was
used to having bis collars and cuffs
laundered, aud the mark on it was
identified as having been put on a cuff
belonging to the missing man. This,
indicating that the body hnd been
burned in the thicket, ended the infor
mation concerning the disposition of
Mr. Crockford's body. The police, get
ting no further clew, gave up the case.
Crockford was financial man for
Englebart & Co., importers of Japa
nese goods. Mrs. Crockford after ber
husband's disappearance went to the
bead of the firm and asked for a posi
tion by which she might support her-
38-42 self. She was taken into bis private
iSOLDEN VALLEY CHRONIC
HENRY PECK'S COUSIN SALLY By Gross
K)
office, where she was informed that a
sum was missing from the firm's cash
and her husband was suspected of hav
ing taken it. He had Iwn seen a day
or two before his disappearance in
company with a blond woman not his
wife. Mr. Englehart believed that
Crockford was not dead, but had fled
with the blond woman.
On hearing this recital Mrs. Crock
ford fell on the floor in a faint. So
great was the sympathy of Mr. Engle
hart that he agreed to employ her on
the books, she having sojue knowledge
of bookkeeping. She became the as
sistant of John Ilardwiek. who had
been her husband's assistant. Since
the latter's disappearance Ilardwiek
had been promoted to be the financial
man of the firm.
A year passed, during which nothing
was heard of Crockford. Mrs. Crock
ford was complained of by Ilardwiek
for inefficiency several times and at
last notified the firm that she must
leave or he would do so himself. Sin
was informed of the fact and told thai
since Hardwick was an excellent ac
countant and willing to work for a
mere tithe of what he was worth they
bad decided tbat she must go. Site
asked to be kept till the end of the
mouth, and her n-quest was granted.
One evening Mrs. Crockford tele
phoned Mr. Englehart that Hardwick
was a.defaulter aiul alnmt to take to
flight. She begged that Hardwick be
arrested or kept in siirht. Englehart
discredited the information, but put a
watch on Ilardwiek.
The next morning who should ap
pear at Englehart & Co.'s office but
Mr. and Mrs. Crockford. They begged
to be admitted to the private room of
the head of the firm, ami there they
let in on his brain a flood of informa
tion.
Shortly before Croclrfnrd disappear
ed he told his wife that Hardwick was
a defaulter, but had trapped him
(Crockford) Into a position wherein
there was excellent evidence that bo
was the thief. He was every day ex
pecting arrest.
Mrs. Crockford arranged for herhus
band's disappearance. S'lie dined with
him at a public restaurant made up
with a blond wig niM enameled com
plexion. She was the Italian who had
watched him at the hank. She had
taken the wood that had disappeared
and burned most of it in her fireplace.
With the rest she burned some pieces
of meat and bone. The cuff she had
partly burned and rulihed the remain
der In ashes. Her fainting when In
formed of her husband's ^villainy and
infidelity was feigned. She had asked
for a position with a view to destroy
ing the evidence Ilardwiek had cooked
up against her husband and getting
evidence in turn against Hardwick.
The lady who had executed this deli
cate work was presented with a hand
some sum by the firm, and her bus
band was put back in his position.
The police, who had been beaten in
their own detective field by a woman,
were incredulous of the explanation
they received. As to the courts, in
which Crockford would have been con
victed if tried—courts do not feel.
WANDERING ISLANDS.
Those of the Rio Grande Mad* Trouble
For Us With Mexico.
The wandering islands of the Rio
Grande in their migrations from side
to side of the water course have caused
years of diplomatic correspondence and
discussion between the United States
and Mexico. The refusal of certain
•mall bodies of land tu remain perma
nently attached to one or the other of
the river's banks deprived them of a
fixed legal status as either Mexican or
American territory ami brought about
their participation in many illegal ad
ventures. which in turn led to misun
derstandings between the two coun
tries.
In no river is spirit more evident
than in the Rio Grande. Along its
sinuous route below I'io Grande City
it pushes Its way through miles of
level sand In Its final reach for the
gulf, twisting and doubling upon itself
like a sea serpent In 1843 it was fix
ed upon as the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico. The
boundary was to be the "middle of the
river, following the deepest channel."
But the river possessed characteristics
tfiat had not Impressed themselves
upon the framers of the convention as
possible causes of friction between the
people living along Its banks. In ad
dition to Its eroding power, exercised
through long months of low and mean
water. It could during flood periods
leap with torrential force across a
narrow neck of land at the base of one
of Its long loops and cut for Its'.lf a
new channel. Through such avulslve
action of the river Texas soil would
sometimes become Mexican, and on oc
casions a plantation occupied by Jacnls
and Mexican citizens would overnight
find Itself a part of Texas.
An example will serve to show both
the extraordinary actions of the river
and the difficulties In the way of any
satisfactory adjustment of conflicting
interests. A certain Josiah Turner be
gan to farm the Galveston ranch, on
the Texas bank. Eight years later be

was surprised wben 221 acres of Mexi
can land came across the river and at
tached itself to his ranch. An arrange
ment was effected by which he became
the owner of this land. Six years later
the river cut off a piece of Mr. Tur
ner's land and took it to Mexico. Twen
ty-one years later the river made up Its
mind to repay the farmer for what it
bad taken from him aud so carried
back into Texas a piece of land far
larger than the tract originally lost.
The Mexican owners claimed posses
sion, and a new convention dealing
with the questions under dispute be
came necessary.
Brigadier General Anson Mills, U.
S. A., appointed to represent the United
States, recommended^that the "cutoffs"
be forever eliminated from the bound
ary line, all those occurring on the
right of the river to pass to the juris
diction of Mexico, those on the left to
that of Texas. The inhabitants, if any,
sbould retain their citizenship in the
country from which they li-id been so
suddenly and violently detached, or
they might acquire the nationality of
the country to which they were now
attached. Any cutoff exceeding 550
acres in area and having a population
of over 200 souls was not to be consid
ered a banco, and the old bed of the
river should remain the boundary. A
convention embodying his recommenda
tions was finally ratitled by both coun
tries. Thus the great turbid, silt bear
ing river is left to pursue its way un
tra'nnieled but the terrors so long syn
onymous with its name have through
the
operation of
this equable arrange­
ment iie orue a part of the storied, ro
