Wheeling has at last scraped enough
money together to put up guarantee fund
of $780, and they have forwarded their
bond. If there had been a League meet

helped to vote Wheeling out for be-
ing behind time-ITmes7 Recorder. That
would have indeed been uDkind, for
Wheeling has none but the kindliest
feelings toward Zsnesville, and only looked
to the good of the League in urging To-
ledo's admission to the League when
Zanesyille was thought to be unable to
make the riffls. Wheeling would es ief
see Zanesyille in the League as Toledo,
and perhaps rather for several reasons
GAINESVILLE should not want to treat Wheel

AFTER A MURDERER.
Interesting Story of the Pursuit OF william
e. TasCott

Interesting Story of the Pursuit OF william
r.. Tascott.
CHICAGO, February 20.-There is a
strong probability that VIM. B. Tsscott,
the alleged murderer of millionaire Amos
J. Smell, will be captured to-day. Yester-
day afternoon, as Chief of Police Hubbard,
Inspector Ronfeld, Lieutenants Ross and
Backus and A. J. Stone were cOnterring TO-
gether, a messenger boy arrived with dis
patch for Chief Hubbard and Inspector
Bonfeld. II was read, and the conference
was broken up instantly. 1t conveyed in
formation that male quick action an
urgent necessity. Inspector Bonfeld tele-
phoned for a carriage, and as soon as it
arrived, he and the chief entered and drove
away. They Immediately summoned De-
tectiye Hanly and another officer, who
boarded train over the Chicago & Omaha
Short Line OF the Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, and departed for the West. The
story which induced the sudden departure
is this:
w. B. Tascott was seen and spoken 10 by
one who knew him at the little way sta.
tion Of Leaf River, situated ninety-seyen
miles from Chicago on the above road,
Saturday afternoon. The murderer drove
into Leaf River in q buggy. The horses
we're covered with foam. Tascott was
recognized by an old schOol-mste residing
there, who inquired what brought him out
there. Tascott replied that he
was travelling for Chicago concern and
tried to turn the conversation of from
himself and his actions. Almost the first
question he put to his friends was whether
OF not there was anything new in regard
to the Smell tragedy. He then drove out
of town. An hour later the Chicago pa.
psrs arrived with full description of Tas-
cott and proof that he was The man. Tas-
colts friend yesterday sent dispatch to
Chicago communicating all the facts TO In
spector Bonfeld. Leaf River is a mere
watering station, so far as the actual depot
is concerned, but is in the center Of 3 fine
farming country, where it is supposed TaS-
Cott intended TO look for quiet farm
house, where he could rest until the hue
and cry after him had su5qided. Inspector
Bonfeld is inclined to believe that Tascott
will keep away from the railroads and the
big towns, and make his way across the
country, seeking refuge in the woods, bat
it would be almost impossible for him to
elude the officers, as he has but few hours
start of them. The officers reached Leaf
River at 1890 o'clock last night, and they
were under instructions to at once secure
conveyance and follow after Tascott with
out stopping for rest. Chief Hubbard, last
night, expressed himselfas being confident
that Tascott would be arrested inside of
forty-sipht hours

THE TALLY SHEET CASE.

Some Very Contradictory Evidence Taken
Yesterday.
Special 7depdm 10 he ReO:SeT.
COLUMBUS, o, February 20.-In the
tally sheet eass this morning the testi-
mony Of Hon. b. ]. Booth and Attorney
Thomas J. Keating, exReprssentative Ed
ward Young. ex Deputy Warden Hill Mar
lott, all contradicted Granville's statement
concerning the blank tally sheets which he
said hecarried to Montgomery's house.
The blanks were locked up, and Mr.. Keat-
ing corroborates Mr.. Booth by saying that
he found them in his desk on Monday
morning in the ssme blank form as when
locked up. These witnesses contradict
GranVille's testimony about Blackburn,
DR.. Montgomery, Robert Montgomery and
others being at his (Mariott's) house,
where Robert Montgomery hid on the night
that be says he (Granville) and DR.. Mont
gomery did the forging mo one," says
Mr.. Marriott, was in Mortgomery's room
that night except its regular occupant. l
heard Montgomery come in and heard him
unloosethe folding bed and retire at once"
Ii was Sehysical impossibility for Gran
Vile to look into Montgomery's room from
where he stood and see Blackburn or any
one else. Granville's statement that there
was a meeting at Myers house on Sun
day, the day of the alleged forgery, was
also contradictsd.
Joseph Hamburger aud DR.. Alex. A.
Neil testified that they saw prosecutor
Huling pay Breitinger, and witness for the
State, large sum OF money out on the
sidewalk while it was raining, ard Brett
inger handed the prosecutor prepared re-
ceipt corroborating contract between the
two. This was at the same place, where
Breitinger in his examination admitted
that the prosecutor had paid him money to
testify.
At the afternoon session William Simon
ton, Deputy clerk, contradicted Granville
as to the presence Of OmyTs at the Grand
Jury room. John Dorgsn, a water works
enploye, with whom Granville said he
had engagements, at certain times and
places impeached him by saying that he
never had an engagement with him, never
paid him any money nor never owed him
anything.
Michael Kennedy testified that G an
vile was at his place when he swore that
be was elsewhere.
William Gothke, testified that Granville
come to him and solicited his aid in work
ing Prosecutor Hulling for money, that
Huling could get all the money he wanted
from the Citizens Committee; that he
(Gothke) could make $50, if he would
help to work Huliug up to theright point,
Cross examination followed. Adjourned.
