DECKER IS mnoan'r.
Yet He Narrowly Escaped Lynching For
Murders \Vhich \Vere Not Committed.
COLUSA, Cal. May 18.—Another chapter
was revealed here today iii one of the
strangest stories in the criminal annals of
California. In Yreka, Siskiyou county,
George Decker is in jail charged with
murder, and so strong is public sentiment
against him that it has been feared he
would be lynched. Decker, who has been
a respected rancher and who is now mar-
ried to his third wife, was arrested‘ two
weeks ago. It is charged that 24 years ago,
in the wilds of northern California, be
murdered his first'wife and her little babe.
Following his arrest the bones of a wom-
an and babe were dug up on his ranch.
This, with other evidence, seemed to sub-
Then
came stories of seeming good proof that
Decker had murdered his second wife by
poisoning in order to gain her lands, and
that he had also poisoned her son, her.
daughter and her granddaughter, all of
whom died suddenly. It was when pub-
lic opinion had laid these six murders at.
his door that lynching was threatened.
Secret preparations were actively. begun.
Now there is good ground for the state-
ment that the crime for which he is being
denounced by the residents of his county
and the press of the state, and for which
he is now a prisoner, that sensational
crime of 2'? years ago, with its dramatic
and long delayed sequel, was never
committed. Margaret E. Decker, the
woman who, as has been supposed an:
charged, was decayed into the mountains
by her husband and murdered, is alive
and awell woman 1' lay. She is living
near Willows as the wife of John Hamil—
ton. To make the story more complicated,
it is to be stated that Nevada Decker, the
babe supposed to have been foully done
to death with its mother, is also among
the living and now gym; to maturity,
a. resident of Colusa county, being em-
ployed at present by Mrs. H. L..\Vilson.
Granting that the identification of the
sometime Mrs. Decker and her child is
complete enough to satisfy the Siskiyou
judge that no murder has been done, it be-
comes of interest to know whose bones
were found among the rocks of Kildeer
ridge. Either the residents who testify to
the fact that John Hamilton’s wife and
Mrs. \Vilson’s employee are Mrs. Decker
and child are utterly mistaken, or George
Decker is a much wronged man and the
victim of circumstantial evidence.
KATIE RUPP’S MURDER.
Altenberger, \Vho Confessed His Crime,
Has Been Indicted For Murder.
JERSEY Crrr, May 18.——County Physi-
cian Converse will make an autopsy of the

Congress to the Rescue.
With increasing gold shipments and
diminishing receipts, and the conse- .
quent diminution of the Treasury re-
serve below ils legal limit again, the
goverment ,becomes' confronted with
the possible necessity of another bond
issue in order to avoid a dangerous de-
plention. The imports of gold since
January 1 have been $4,925,578 and the
exports for the period $20,193,578. The
net exports, therefore, have been $15,
597,650, and the outgo continues at a
threatening pace.
No Good to a Town.
There are nine classes of people who
are no good to a town. First, those
who go out of town to do their trad-
ing; second, those opposing improve-
ment; third, those who prefer a quiet
town to one of push and business;
fourth, those who imagine they own
the town ; fifth, those who think: busi-
ness can be done without advertising ;
sixth, those who deride spirited men;
seventh, those who oppose every move-
ment that does not originate with them-
selves; eighth, those who oppose all
public enterprises that do not benefit
themselves; ninth, those who seek to
injure the credit of a fellow townsman.
GA
What Should be Done.
In our judgment, says the New York
Sun, the first blow of a roused and en-
raged Democracy should be struck at
an infinitely more outrageous feature
of the Tariff bill than any single rate of
duty. the POpnlist income tax. Take
that out forthwith. Unlike the variable
schedules 'of customs duties, the income
tax remains unchangeably abominable
and undemocratic,which the solid body »
of J efi'ersonian Democrats were com-
mended to oppose by the national ver-
dict of 1892, by the tremendous majori-
ty of 276 Democratic electorial votes to
23 for the Populists. Clear the decks of
Populism, for action against the Repub-
licans. .

his muzzle first under the wire. It was
not expected Tuesday that Dr. Rice-

he did, and his owner is $18,000 richer
because of it. The lesson is that horse
racing is just as uncertain as it ever was.
