The Report of Bateman's Arrest I'm
founded-The Search Continues.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, September 4.--The
report that young Bateman had been ar
rested on good evidence pointing to him
as the assailant aud murderer Of the two
little Mclaughlin girls, of Flagg Springs,
proves to be canard. He Is at large,
and no suspicion rests upon him, but Is
entertained of several other men.
No evidence can be brought forward to
fasten the guilt upon any one, and the
popular conviction is that tramps COM
mitted the outrage. The country Tor
twenty-five miles around Flag Springs Is
aroused, and the search continues, bst
so far without success.

had been racing for considerable time
he had never taken the trouble to even
read the rules of racing. lie stated that
he had been offered $500 in Chicago to
pull the mare there, and declared him

his guilt from the evidence Of the outside
