Over 20,000 Disappear Every
Year in London.
Little Hope of Discovery—By Moving
Around the Corner One Can Van
ish Completely, Declares a
Veteran Detective.
London.—The disappearance of the
Memphis “millionaire,” Joseph Wilber
force Martin, in the hidden depths of
London has served to remind the
whole world that the British capital
is in many ways the best hiding place
that anybody can utilize.
The city is so vast that the police’
can only investigate any case on well
understood and well defined lines. A
smart man learns these lines. He
does not rush to the railroad depots
to get knocked down by an auto and
conveyed to a hospital. He does not
take too much to drink and secrete
himself in a police cell. - He merely
changes his name, his clothes and his
address, and. if he does not provoke
feminine ‘curiosity he is as safe in
London as he would be in the desert
of the Sahara.
The best proof of this will be found
in the fact that on the day that J. W.
Martin disappeared in London some
where about fifty other persons van
ished. A similar number were lost
the day before, and a similar number
the day after. But no outcry was
raised on the subject.
“London does not boast or shout
about its mysteries. It is only when
something really dramatic happens
and there are shrewd folks like the
Americans congcerned in the solution
OWNER OF LUCKY HORSESHOE
Hurls It at Son-in-Law, Misses, Hits
Another Man and Is
Arrested.
St. Louis.—A good luck horseshoe
which William H. King of No. 5022
Bulwer avenue carried with him in
his wagon for years caused him to
be fined $5 and costs in the Dayton
Street police court. Being unable to
pay his fine, he was sent to the work
liouse. :
It happened this way: Two years
ago Charles Williams of No. 908
Brooklyn street married King's
daughter, and four months later they
separated. Williams had never vis
ited his wife to see their baby, which
was born after he left home.
| King, driving.a dump cart the oth
er day, met Williams, driving an ash
cart, and they had an argument on
{the support of the baby. King threw
a hatchet and some other articles in
‘his cart at Willlams, and, having only
the good luck horseshoe left, he tried
that.
' He missed Williams, but hit anoth-
NUMBER 31.
that a real big stir is made. Then
one realizes with a start of surprise
that somewhere about 20,000 men and
women disappear every vear within
that puzzling conglomieration of towné
and cities to which is given the magic
name of ‘London.””
An outcry was raised over the disap
pearance of Antanas Vedegris, a
wealthy Lithuanian, who came to Lon
don on business in January, and on
the 17th of that month visited a friend,
a priest,,and has not been seen since.
Yet he was a man of forty, could
speak English fairly well, and had a
physique that few “toughs” would care
to tackle in the daylight. He had
about SIO,OOO in his possession and
facilities for obtaining more money if
‘he wished to do so. &
. Some timeé ago two girl students
took rooms together in the west end.
One night they were hanging pictures
and they found they had run short of
nails. “I'll go out and get some,” one
said. She went, just as she was, with
out hat or coat, to a little store round
the corner, while her companion set
about preparing the evening meal
The girl never returned. Inquiries
showed that she did not visit the store,
:and she has not been heard of since.
“London has cloaks enough to hide
us all,” Sherliker contends. “If you
want to disappear all you need do is
to move around the corner. Very few
people in the metropolis are on speak
ing terms with those who live in the
next flat or in the next house. There
have been several cases in recent
years of policemen having resided in
the same block as men who were
wanted for some notorious crime, and
there is an instance on record of a
wealthy ex-convict who vanished, as
sumed a disguise and another name,
became a property owner and actual-
Iy leased a house to the judge who
some years before had sentenced him
to penal servitude.” |
‘er man in the wagon with him. Wil
liams and his companion were pum
meling King with their fists when a
policeman appeared and arrested
them. Williams was also fined $5
and costs, which he could not pay.
King also asked for a warrant for
wife abandonment ‘against him.

JAYHAWKER'S TRIALS
- . .
Survivors Live Again 52 Death
Valley Days.
1
Os the First White Persons to Cross
the Desert in 1849 Only Four Are
Now Living—Boiled Ox
Hide for Soup.
San Francisco.—Of the hardships
endured by the “jayhawkers of '90,”
a8 the survivors of the first band of
white people ever to cross Death val
ley are now called, little has been told.
The memories of 52 days spent in the
sands of the Mojave desert, with boil
ed ox hide for food, and water as an
oceasional luxury, however, are kept
alive by the Jayhawkers' society,
whose four members, one of them a
woman nearly 100 years old, hold year
ly meetings. .
These meetings, preceded by a din
ner, take place on the anniversary of
the day in 1850 when the remnants of
the party left the desert behind them
and wandered, more dead than alive,
into a Mexican rancho in the valley of
the Santa Clara river, near fthe pres
ent site of Newhall, a southern Pa
cific station on the route to Mojave.
At the home of Mrs. Juliet W. Brier,
the only woman of the party, who
brought three children under the age
of ten years with her on the journey,
the remnant was held this year. She
now lives at 94 Myrtle street, Santa
Cruz. Col. John B. Colton of Gales
burg, Ill.; L. Dow Stephens of San
Jose and John Grosscup of Laytonville
now compose the rest of the Jayhawk
ers. Only three were present, as Mr.
Grosscup has been unable to make the
journey for a number of years on ac
count of ill heaith. Absent in body,
he has been present in spirit, sending
a letter each time, which is read at
the dinner.
In 1849, when the party started for
California, Illinois was a frontier
state, and west of there Indianas wera
practically the only inhabitants. By
the time they reached Salt Lake and
the Mormon settlements practically
all their cattle had been stampeded.
The desire of the Mormons to have
some one break a wagon trail to south
ern California led them to advise the
jayhawkers to head for Los Angeles,
says Colonel Colton, and the start
across the desert was made against
the advice of Kit Carson and other
noted plainsmen. Hearing of the
hardships of the Denver party, how
ever, they hesitated at taking the
route over the Sierras, and so, after
waiting for six weeks in Salt Lake for
the desert to cool off, they started
southward. :
Captain Hunt of the Mormon bat
talion of the Mexican war was en
gaged to lead them at a price of SI,OOO
for 100 wagons. Nearly 290 persons
were in the party at the beginning.
They soon found that they could eat
the flesh of their cattle, and so a diet
of oxen was begun, to continue until
they reached California. These poor
animals, scarcely more than skin and
bones, were Kkilled regularly, and the
skin boiled until it was eatable. Pos
sibly a pailful of blood was secured
from each, and this made a blood pud
ding. By boiling the entrails, a dish
on the order of tripe was made.
Three out of five water holes they
reached contained alkali and so had to
be passed by. Men and oxen alike
dropped in their tracks, never to rise
again. According to the account of
Rev. Mr. Brier, husband of the “lit
tle woman,” one man was left behind,
unable to walk, and the party too
weak to assist him. When “Provi
dence Spring” was reached they went
back to look for him—he had crawled
four miles on his hands and knees be
fore he died. A second wandered
away insane, a third fell dead without
a groan, another staggered into one of
the springs on the route, and died
with the first taste of water on his
lips. When his veins were cut open,
a watery fluid bearing a faint resem
blance to blood flowed out.
