CONTINUATION OF the MUIR =
DER CASE,
TOM ROSS DELIVERS HIMSELF
TO SHERIFF PERKINS.
And is Ready to tell his lie, the same as
the others.

Since the murder of Officer Rosenfeld
the police of this city and Davenport and
Sheriff Perkins have been diligently
searching for Tom Ross, found guilty by
the coroner's jury of completely in. the
murder. It was supposed that he was
secreted in Davenport until the night
after the murder and that he was then
taken in carriage out Of the city, but the
facts do not warrant this story, as he was
seen in Davenport about seven o'clock
Wedsday morning, going towards home. At
the same hour the Davenport police were
waiting at his residence. He must have
been informed of this fact and, instead OF
going home, gone directly out to some OF
his relatives, near Duck Creek, where he
has been ever since. Officers Tilebein
and Mcguire of the Davenport force
heard that he was there and went out to
arrest him, about O'Clock last, Sunday,
night. When they arrived at the place
they were told that Ross had gone to Rock
Island to give himself up. There is no
doubt but there is some design in this
move as his previous actions do not point
very strongly to his entire innocence IN
the murderous affair. At about s o'clock
he appeared at the Jail and surrendered
to the Sheriff He stated that he feared
that his cousins had been swearing him
into trouble, and that he had a story to
tell himself. He was afraid that if
caught in daylight he would be killed,
and therefore be came to the Jail, volun-
tarily in the dark, to give himself up.
He further claims that he has not seen
any of the papers and knows nothing about
the evidence given. All of which is not at all
likely in view of the fact that he feared
This cousins had been swearing him into
trouble" 1t is altogether mora likely that
be is here to help Cavanaugh, as he is pos
tive in his assertion that Bernard Heeney
is the murderer. The story that he has
surrendered because he was afraid of his
life is too improbable. II he has been ad,
vised to come over and surrender, by any
attorney of Cavanaugh, believing that
there is no evidence to connect him with
the murder and that he can lie Cavanaugh
out of the scrape, he will be terribly dis
appointed There is some evidence that
has not yet been published which will
probably show that they were all present
and know all about it and all had hand il
the attack. He has very beautifully run
his neck into noose from which he may
have some difficulty 10 extricating it.
The report that the coroner jury would
be summoned and all the witnesses re-
called is all nonsense. The coroner's jury
is not the court OF trial. Ross is held under
the mlttimus of the jury and further than
this the coroner and his jury have no bust
ness with the case, however anxious Ross
may be to begin his lying, and, from what
he has already said, he is as fully accom-
plished in this art as any of the others

& Woman'S Name.

Guinare means the blossom of the pomegranate,
Nearly all female names signify birds. flowers
abound in their hyperbOlical poetry. During these
modern times ideas have been caught from the
orient and the same significance is given to the
name English Female Bitters. It implies o restor-
alton to health, radical of all those chronic
arrangements and irregularities that aiict the fe
male sex. 1t implies quick and powerful action
over female troubles. 1t implies regulating and
restoring aid and young females to their natural
condition, and no lady should fail to use them.
