Logan. Monday morning he went TO the
house of Orange Logan, brother of the
defendant, and he was there when George
Logan and his wife drove up IN buggy
George Logan supposed that he had gone
to Greensburg. As Logan alighted, For
tune walked toward him. saying there was
a difference which must be settled, and he
pulled of his coat. Logan alighted from
the opposite side of the buggy and, as For
tune came around toward him he fired.
The first OF second bullet struck Fortune
in the groin. Fortune then turned to run
toward the barn, and third shot passed
through his left arm into his heart. For
tune entered the barn. and, as he fell, a
horse kicked him in the temple. Logan
surrendered to the authorities and was re-
leased on $4,000 bail. Logan will have a
preliminary examination Wednesday,
June 10.

Evans shot and killed E. r. Adams, bet
ter known as "Dick Adams" at Roach
dale this morning. About four weeks
ago, at midnight, Adams, who then re-
sided near Roachdale, was shot at several
times while in bed Two shots took effect,
one in the lung and the other in the arm.
Other shots lodged in the bedding. Search
for the guilty one proved fruitless, but a
number of circumstances pointed toward
Evans, and there was some talk of his ar
rest at that time. As soon as Adams re-
covered from the effects of those two shots
he removed to Roachdale. Noah Evans.
the slayer, is a brother of Harper Evans,
who killed Tighlman Hanna and wife at
Groveland, this county. in the spring OF
1860. He was tried here and sentenced to
the states prison for life, from which
place he made his escape and has not
been heard from since.
Evans and his wife drove into Roach
dale early this morning and Adams was
occupying a chair in front of Rice's drug
store. Evans made inquiries for him and
he was pointed out. Evans and his wife
then descended from the carriage and
walked over to the drug store. When
within few feet of Adams, Evans turned
to his wife and said:
us that the man who drugged you with
morphine and then violated your persona"
She answered, Yes, that is the man."
Evans then drew his revolver and poured
seven bullets into Adams The latter fell
dead instantly. No attempt was made to
stop Evans and he and his wife quickly
got into their vehicle and drove out of
town. The sheriff gathered a posse soon
afterward and followed them.

Three CorPses Unearthed.

Crown POINT, June Especial. lin
digging q well here yesterday workmen
unearthed the bodies of a man, woman
and child. Decomposition had removed
any possibility of Identification. The
skulls of the three victims had been
crushed in with some blunt instrument.
The murder is enveloped in the greatest
mystery.
1t is thought, however, they were emf
grants on their way West. The bodies
had been dumped head foremost in a
quickly constructed ditch. The only pos
sible clew to the dark deed is the sudden
and mysterious disappearance of two men
who had hut in a stretch of timber land
near by and followed the occupation of
wood chopping. The bodies were close
together and not a vestage of garment
remained to conceal their nakedness.
After foully numbering the entire family
every bit of clothing had been removed.
Other bodies have been found in the i'm

scene in the case of Thomas Kerins of this

his capacity of treasurer of the lodge of
catholic knights of America, in this city,
was enacted in the circuit court today, re-
sulting in fine of SO and costs. and
sentence of thirty days in Jail. He was
first indicted on a charge OF embezzlement
and sent to Jail in default of bond. He
broke Jail and escaped, and was afterward
located in Chicago, whence he was
brought back to this city. There was
disposition on the part of the prosecution
TO relent, and the charge of embezzlement
was withdrawn and charge of larceny OF
the sum OF 81 substituted, to which the
defendant pleaded guilty and was SEN
fenced as above stated. There was a
strong feeling against Kerins among the
members of the order, as his conduct in
the premises resulted in defrauding the
families of members who supposed them
selves to be insured, one OF whom has
since died.
