ened-Tireless workers pulled the drags
carefully over the bottom of Rock Creek, ex-
pectlng, with pale and mournful faces, at any
moment to drag into sight the clothing or re.
mains of Mrs. Harley. But their dread an.
ticipations were not realized, and after long,
weary hours Of toll, they gave up the idea
that the demented lady had sought refuge
from her misery In death. They had dragged
the creek from the railroad to Its mouth,
Meantime brave and earnest men had set out
on a systematic search of the region lying be.
tween the Wabash railway and the Wabash
river. Large forces Of men deployed in
skirmish line and searched woods, fields and
farmhouses, but completed their task Ia
Rockheld without finding any trace of her,
At neon to-day a telegraph message to Del.

Of the searchers had given up In despair.
Some were now looking around nearer home

Several friends of the Harleys are still in,

position Of some of the searchers that certain
villains were holding the woman III the hop,
of getting ransom, but 1t Is not probable.
