NOTHING BUT CLUES.
Murderer Of Ellingson is Still
at Large.
"ToNy. MILLER CAN'T BE FOUND.
The Barber shop Episode Had Nothing
10 Do with the cass-Pelies
Arrssting Suspects

The murderer Of Oluf EIlingson IL still
at large. but the detectives still "have .
clue" ana are shot upon the trail"
II do not think that the detectives sus-
pect either Of the three fnen who were seen
in front Of the barber shop As being impli-
Gated in the murder of Oluf Ellington"
said Clerk Stevens, Of the West Street
lodging-house, last evening. when Mr..
James Fields iha owner OF the boarding
house in which ElIingson was cook. came
down for the murdered mans baggage
FRIDAY morning. with Detective L. Willard,
heard him say that ne (Fiesds) was one
OF the three men who stood on the side
walk waiting for EllIngson, until Barber
Monroe should finish his shaving. He
two men well, and was confident that they
knew nothing Of the murder.
Fields said to the detective: "While We
three fellows were Warrington Ellington,
on the*sidewalk, some one said: Come
let's have q drink of beer and We all
crossed the street and went into . saloon. !"
1t seems that the police are very anxious
to secure the other two men. however, and
they arrest every suspicious character who
answers the descriptions given OF them
IF the men were Elingson's friends and
are innocent of any connection with the
murder, why don't they come out of hid
ing and by disclosing themselves. relieve
the suspicion that is now fixed upon
them Z" said gentleman interested in the
case, yesterday, and the question is with
out answer.
The whole police force is confident that
T"Tony" Miller Is the man who committed
the murder and that he is the man who.
now in hiding, has the dead mans money
and valuables. Miller. although he is
known to have stolen money and articles
from Ellingson more than once, was ac-
cepted by the murdered man as his friend.
He was seen at Lake Washington on the
morning of the murder and the same night
was seen on Columbia street, near West.
He is missing and the detectives consider
his disappearance as very significant. They
, want him and will do all they can to find
Min.
\Gustave Erickson, Nels Hansen and
Charles Lunding. the three men arrested
in Whitechapel Friday by Officer James
Young. may not be directly connected with
the murder, but they are desperate crooks.
The three mems baggage was located in .
Jackson street saloon by Officer Young
early yesterday morning and search was
made of their effects In q black leather
valise belonging to Nels Hansen was found
several shoe strings exactly like the kind
which were wound around the blood
stained slungshot which was found near
the body on Lake Washington and which
is now in the possession of Chief Monroe.
Since nearly all shoestrings are alike the
circumstance Is not regarded with great
deal of importance. The men will still be
held, however, for the case may develop
more startling evidence.
By letters found in Ellingson's effects,
now in the hands of the detectives, it
was learned that he had brother-in-law
named E. A. Holt, who is in the wholesale
liquor business at Washburn, Wis. I'm
dertakers Bonney & Stewart forwarded
the following dispatch to Mr.. Holt yester-
day at moons;
The body of Olaf Ellingsou, who was muir
dered. IL 1t our rooma What shall We do with
the remains?
The answer is expected this morning.
