eve since. a short time ago they dis
covered o clue which led them to believe
he had come to Dakota, and was work
ing in the neighborhood of Grandin
under the name OF Il. Ell. Hook. Jester
morning Sheriff Wright of Kokomo ar
rived here, and made known his mission
to Sheriff Benton, who sent Deputy
Barnes to essis. him in his search at
drandin. They learned that a man
by the name Of Hook had been working
there, but had recently moved to Hills
boro. With this clue they proceeded
to Hillsboro, where they found the man
III the employ OF o. o. Sarles, who had
employed him to lock after horses. It
was then late at night and Ruse was
asleep in the barn. Knowing him to be
a desperate character the officers sent o
veterinary enrgeon to nrouse him and
get him in the stable on a pretext of
giving medicine to q sick horse. While
the two men were in the stall Deputy
Barnes and the town marshal suddenly
entered and seized and hspdcuffed him .
When he saw Sheriff Wright he imms-
dIately recognized him and he confessed
che murder. He is now in the Cass
county jail, and will be taken back to
Indiana as soon as q requisition can be
secured. Ruse suspected Perkins OF
being criminally intimate with his wife,
and last April he found them together
in q wood and shot Perkins five times
killing him instantly.

GUSHING CARLISLE.

Alleged Piece of Republican Returning
Board Business in Kentucky.
CINCINNATI, November 8.-The story is
in circulation in Covpgton, KY, that
Speaker Carlisle Is to be deprived of his
certificate of election. The ground of this
action is alleged illegality of ballots cast
for him in Campbell and Kenton coun-
ties. tits asserted that if these are thrown
out his majority in the district will be
overcome. The Kentucky law req uires
that the ballots shall be on plain, white
paper, with no distinguishing features,
but the Carlisle ballots were printed on
large sheets of perforated paper, so that
when the tickets were torn apart the per-
foratIons appeared on the edges and made
them easily distinguishable from other
tickets. Color is given to the story by
the fact that the canvassing board in
Campbell county is republican.

No cause given for the origin of the fire,
which was fist discovered in the livery
