JACOB LANDES
Sep 6, 1896

Tucsons: Word was received in this city last night of the killing 
and robbery of Jacob Landes, a rancher who lived twenty miles 
west of here.

Wakefield  Brothers, his nearest neighbors were notified today 
by some Mexicans that something appeared to be wrong on the 
Landes homestead and upon investigation they were horrifed to 
find Landes body in the well, whee it had evidently been three 
or four days.

Landes was about 60 years old, lived alone and it is believed he 
had some money. The only clue to the murderer was a roll of 
strange blankets found in the house on the floor.
