County, Think They Have a
Strong Clue.
The Blood Hounds BafIled.

In the pursuit of the assailant of
Mrs. Chas Taylor, and the investiga.
ton of all clues leading thereto, the
officers Of the law and citizens gener-
ely are as active and energetic as on
the morning following the perpetra-
ton of the terrible deed. The feel
ing is Just as intense and the determi-
nation to run down the villain just as
strong. The peace Of Sedalia has
been grossly outraged, and while 1t
cannot directly reflect on the fair
name of the city, at the same time it
is the universal desire of all law
abiding citizens that everything In
the bounds of human possibilities
should be done to apprehend the per-
petrator of 90 dastardly a
deed. No energy and no money has
been spared, nor will any be. Of
course there are all kinds Of rumors
afloat, but in . time Of such intense
excitement this is to be expected.
Thorough investigation and calm, cool
after thought will develop matters
and correctly form honest and un-
biased public opinion.
Suffice it to say that there ia q vigi-
lance never before exercised and while
no conclusive results have been
reached, there is . spirit of hopeful.
ness on the part of those who should
know best that that almost at any mo
ment the guilty party will be arrested
