Startling Developments.
WAurAcA, Wis, Nov. 95.-For the
last eight years the murder OF Banker II
G. Mead has been enveloped in mystery,
There are indications now that the
gailtyparties will be brought 10 justice.
The Waupaca County Board recently
offered d reward OF $1,000 for the arrest
and conviction OF the murderers, and
the $500 reward. offered at the time oil
the murder has been unclaimed.
Tod Myers, who was watchman at the
bank when tho banker met his death,
is now in Jail here. He wasarrested on
a warrant charging him With the emurder
of Mead. Ho IVES suspected at The time
Of the murder, but not enough evidence
TO warrant arrest could be obtained. De
tectives kept close watch on him and
now claim that enough evidence has de.
velopel to insure his conviction.
The murder OF Banker Mead caused g
tremendous sensation, not only in Wa
puca, but throughout the State. Big re-
wards we're offered and private tle.ec
liyes employed, besides the local officers
but the murderers lett not the slishteo,
clue to their identity. After months
work the detective caused the arrest O.
one Vandecar. He was tried and &C
Quilted through lack OF evidence. Later
convict in Waupun made an alleged
confession, but It was found TO be un
true. Then came the trial OF the Cur
rsns, Of Steyess Point, for the murder
of Willis Hsxsltinc. 1t was alleged at
that time that "Buckssin Jack" Riley
killed Mead that Henry Curran wa
connected with the affair; that JohT
Curran got rid OF the stolen bonds a
Wavcrly, Ia., and that Riley was shot tc
death in the Stevens Point jail to covel
up the crime. This story fell fat, ant
now comes the arrest OF Myers.
The attorneys representing the State
do not make public their case, but wha
they Say furnishes come new and start
ling facts. They. claim that three mer
were implicated in the killing, One o
these, it is said, was etatioued outside, i,
the court yard. and two others went in
slue w ket tllc tuuueauua W uOllWs
known to be in the saie. When tht
two men entered Mead was awakened
One Of tho inside men quickly leaped a
him and struck him down. While theil
victim lay insensible. on the floor ths
assaysins went on with their work o
robbery. The banker revived and stag
gered to his feet and was again sho1
down. The States attorneys intimate
that Myers is the man who struck the
blow that rendered the old man uncon
scious, and that Vaudecar, who wa'
formerly tried and acquitted Of tht
crime, is the man who fired the weapon
The identity OF tho third is not madt
known, but it is aaid that aho is unde
