WAS THERE A MURDER?
Bloody Weapons and Other Things Found
Near Hammond, Ind.

Bloody Weapons and Other Things Found
Near Hammond, Ind.
HAMMOND, Ind, Dec. 13.-Further
evidence that a murder was committed
near the spot where the bloody relics
were found Dec. came to light Thurs
day. In the reeds along the Calumet
river was found rusty Ratchet with a
broken handle, butcher knife covered
with blood and a package containing a
vest.
The vest was of good quality, and evil
IDENTIFY tailor made. The pockets on the
right side and part of the back were
burned as if by acid. In the left-hand
pockets were found a small bottle of
sticky substance, a few revolver car
tridges and a letter addressed: Dear
darling;;" and signed: Your loving
May. 1920"
The letter was evidently written by
woman. 1t expresses pleasure at the re-
ceipt of a letter from Kansas City, a de
sire TO see the addressed, and says: "No-
body believes you done it. In another
pocket was found a small key, card
photograph of young woman, on the
back Of which is written: From May,
March 8, 1899" The handwriting of the
letter is exactly like that of the letter
found with other articles on Dec. 4.

An interesting anecdote is related by
the ''Yugend Freunde" Of King Alphonso
X, surnamed sThe Wise, who succeeded
to the throne Of Leon and Castillo in
1852. On learning that his pages neg
lected to ask the divine blessing before
partaking Of their daily meals, he was
deeply grieved and sought diligently to
point out to them the evil of this omis-
sion. At length he succeeded in finding
a plan. He invited the pages of his court
to dine with him. A bountiful repast
was spread, and when they were all as
sembled around the table the king gave
a signal that all was in readiness for
them to begin. They all enjoyed the
rich feast, but not one remembered to
ask Gods blessing on his food.
Just then, Unexpectedly to the thought
less guests, entered a poor, ragged beg
gar, who unceremOniously seated him
self at the royal table, and ate and drank
undisturbed, to his hearts content. Sur
prise and establishment were depicted on
every cOuntenance.
The pages looked first at the king,
then gazed upon the audacious intruder,
expecting momentarily that his majesty
would give orders to have him removed
from the table. Alphonso, however, kept
silence; while the beggar, unabashed by
the presence Of royalty, ate all be de-
sired. When his hunger and thirst were
appeased he rose and without word Of
thanks departed from the palace
ssWhat a despicable. mean fellowl"
cried the boys Calmly the good king
rose, and, with much earnestness, said:
Boys, holder and moro audacious than
this beggar have you all been. Every
day you sit down to a table supplied by
the bounty Of your heavenly father, yet
you ask not his blessing, and leave it
without expressing to him your gratitude.
Yes, each and all Of you should be
heartily ashamed of your conduct. which
was far worse than was the poor beg

The other WAY.

A well known Chicago attorney tells a
good one anent the quick wit and ready
tongue Of that brilliant lawyer, the late
Emery A. Storrs. 1t was after the ven
cradle Justice Skates had left the Illinois
supreme bench. The justice had specu-
lated a good deal and had been unfor-
tunate. He had been sued to recover
certain claims, judgment had been en-
tered against him, and attachments
against his property had been taken out.
But none of his property could be found
and the attachments remained unsatis-
fed. On account of the prominence of
the justice, the case was well known
among lawyers. Not long afterward
Mr.. Storrs was defending a heavy at
tachment suit, and the lawyer on the
other side took occasion to cite a certain
decision Of the Illinois supreme court in
support of his position. Storrs was on
his feet in a moment. "Whose decision
Is thatS he asked. at was written by
Justice Skates" replied the other attor-
ney. WELL" said the witty Storrs,

right, but attachments on Skates amt

special says: AT 9:15 o'clock yesterday
morning Butler was shaken from center
to circumstance by nitro-glycerine ex-
plOsiOn at the Butler Torpedo cOmpany's
magazine, two miles south of town. The
explosion occurred when cans were be-

James o. Woods and William Medill and
their wagon and team were blown into
unacceptable fragments.
The factory was crushed down, and
only the smoke stack remains intact.
The rafters of the magazine fell down
over the glycerine there, but it did not
explode. Woods shoulder and right
arm have been found twenty rods away.
A small part of Medill's trunk was taken
from the top of a tree. The theory is
that Woods let can of the explosive

was in the wagon. A great hole was
made in the ground where the wagon

Rain continued to fall Thursday, and
the damage to counties in the central

many small places are flooded, and the
destruction on ranches is very great.
San Francisco losses are merely nomi-

suburbs have suffered much.
The Sacramento Raging.
The advices from Woodland on the
Sacramento river are sensational. A dis
patch from there SAYS:
The river is a roaring, seething BODY
of water, and residents of the entire val
ley are seriously alarmed. Steamers are
constantly running up and down the
river conveying large droves of live
stock to points of safety.
