thrilled the entire State Two years and a haif ago this man arrived In Ouray claiming to be John Jacob Astor Powell late of Cape Town Africa His previous residence was at Fredericksburg Va He procured

of this city has been missing since June 29tb and much ahklety Is felt by his friends who fear that some mishap has befallen hltri He left here saying that he was going to Chicago and since that time no authentic news has been received as to his Whereabouts Major John Abbott of this city cashier during the past year for Tewksbury makes the following statement Mr Tewksbury left the offlce to go to Chicago on Friday June 29th on business connected with a gold mine in Southern California in which he Is Interested and to establish an offlce for his business In that city He intended to return on Monday and so ndttfled his partner It is certain to my mind that some untoward event has occurred to keep the banker from New York and his business and 1 believe that when the mystery surrounding his disappearance has been cleared away my theory will be verified His course In this matter nas oeen so foreign to his character that I am confident he has met with trouble As to stories that he is believed to be in New York or has been there since he left this offlce 1 take no stock In them because I know he secured a sleeping car ticket to Chicago and If he had been In New York all the time as stated he could not have escaped recognition He Is too well known In all parts of the city for that Ills heaviest creditor who had an Interest in Mr Tewksbury beyond the mere business transactions between them assured me If Mr Tewksbury had been lh need of money he could have had all he wanted by asking At one time the banker was known to be worth a million and a half dollars He had hard luck two years ago but he made arrangements with his creditors and 1 know It to be a fact that last year returned over 50000 of the Indebtedness then incurred I also know It to be a fact that outside of the claims of the heaviest creditors mentioned above he did not owe more than 625000 It is ab surd to say Mr Tewksbury got away I with 400000 or any such sum of his customers money nt lETiifcFIEN

married her in August 1899 Powell came to Denver on January 18th last with Judge Theron Stevens of Ouray for the avowed purpose of securing the position of counsel for the Rio Grande Railway at Ouray Powell wrote his wife at Pueblo that he was going to Boulder but this proved false On January 22d he bought a dress suit case and suit of clothes checked out 1200 from the Ouray Bank and the same morning he left the Albany Hotel With his valise and disappeared The first theory was that he had started for the Aleutian Islands to Join a friend in mining This friend was alleged to have been washed ashore from a wreck and come across fabulously rich gold deposits After being rescued he was supposed to have written Powell to Join him Another report was that Powell had been waylaid and still another that while of unsound mind he had wan dered away His financial accounts were said be in excellent shape His lodge of the Woodmen of the World Issued 50000 circulars giving a picture of the missing man and requesting members at Honolulu and Alaska to keep a sharp lookout Last March James Barhett confirmed his belief that Powell had bunkoed the Supreme Court He had knowledge that John Jacob Astor Powell was at that time In Virginia and that he was not the Ouray roan by any means The Story of how Powell secured his license was told and It convinced him that Powell was an impos tor of the smoothest type Finally the search was given up Powell is 40 years old 6 feet high weighs 160 pounds and has or had hemp colored whiskers which he parted English fashion COLORADO MAN ESCAPES

Gibson Woolner recites desertion willful neglect and habitual Intemperance as the grounds on which the actress seeks a legal separation The Mothersoles according to the complaint were married In this city on November 30 1892 Mothersole was at that time a theatrical manager At one time hehad charge of the Oakland Theater now the Dewey Opera house and later he was manager of the Mac dohough Theater but he became unpopular here and lost Its management It Is understood that he is now In Portland Or Mrs Mothersole alleges that for more than a year her husband has willfully neglected to provide for her and their four year old son Frank Mothersole that although quite able to support them he has failed te do so on account of his idleness profligacy and dissipation She avers that she has on numerous occasions tried to cause her erring husband to reform and abstain from the use of Intoxicating liquors but all to no avail and that now she can live with him no longer In her prayer she asks the Court for a decree of divorce and that she be made custodian of the minor child Mrs Mothersole is at present a member of the Holden stock company playing at the Mac donough Theater In this city Suit for a divorce was also filed today by Christina Peters of Liyermore against George Peters In the complaint drawn up by Attorney Langan desertion is named as the ground for action It is recited that the couple were married about five years ago Mrs Peters at the time being a widow named Lassen and that shortly after her marriage to Peters the latter left her dependent for support upon the charity of her friends Sheriff Lackmann has completed his annual report to the Mayor Pbrtlona of ityairyibtViptiut ilut there is interesting new matter relailng to thecpmmissaryde has been si reform inthe methodjiof supplying ood foiVpriabuers and aW though the Supervisors thought 1 wise to compromise with thajcbntractorts a large saving has been effected The Sheriff saya This department seems to have been carried on a verys peculiar manner to say the least When assumed office In January there wasnotascrap of paper or any entry of any kind found any where to show what good had been re ceived what th jails had been entitled to how many inmates had been paid for etc In fact no record whatever was left to show any of the transactions of that branch of the office I had to Inaugurate a avatm nf hitnlrk ncrkf nr fnr th CnRthlll Sry at considerable trouble during the first month but at the end that time it was In perfecrirunnliigorder jand has worked very satisfactorily ver since In January I Informed the contractors who furnished supplies to tha Jails that 1 Intended to live strictly up to the contract and that I expected them to da the same When the month was over we made out certificates for the actual number of ra tiofis they were entitled to charge for and sent them to the contractors but found that that was not at all satisfactory to them They claimed that they had always been allowed to charge extra rations for officers trusties and united States nrisoners on account of them eat ing three meals each day while the urdi nary prisoners only ate two and on that account they wanted me to certify to 3S10 rations more for January than they were entitled to Under the contract I could not see how the contract could be construed thai way and refused They then brought the matter oip bstore the Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors and it was finally submitted to you and my position was sustained but they showed pretty clearly that they had entered Into a losing contract if it was to be construed literally and I was requested by all concerned not to draw any more supplies than we absolutely needed which request has beert observed However th matter was not finally settled there They made numerous showings before the Police Committee that their method of being paid for rations had been the custom for years and that nobody had ever construed the contract literally before so the Supervisors finally allowed them 1S04 more for the last six months than they had received on my certificates and through our economy the underdraft that Is to say what we saved them in not drawing the full amount of supplies we were entitled to amounted to 11962 50 whlehj under the contract could have been deducted from their regular bills so that they were actually paid 3462 90 morij than they were entitled to Under a strict construction of the contract Nevertheless we have jtUl effected a large saving Dy stopping tae extra ration pusiness The Sheriff gives figures to show the saving effected The number of extra meals that would have been charged for during the first half of this calendar year under the old arrangement amounted to 30190
