ole ways out. The boarding house is
kept by Mrs. White. The police
learned that there was a wounded man
IN the house who claimed to have been

Of his friends. But the police suspected
That this man, who calls himself Dick

says that Reed was not the man he

The sheriff Will not dIvulge the nature
of the circumstances which point to the
guilt of Reel. The reason for this
secrecy is that there are TWO more men
wanted for the same crime, and 1t is
feared that they will escape it too much
Is revealed.
The Harris murder was committed
last June at the house of James R.
ing is located at 623 Fifteenth avenue
southeast. About O'Clock in the moru-
ing two burglars entered the house,
while one stood guard outside. Just
as they were leaving the room
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Harris. the
latter awoke and Immediately aroused
her husband. Both followed the bur
glars out into the next room. Mr.. Har-
rIS, who was Il large and strong man,
grappled with one man. Whereupun the
other came to his assistance. Mr.. Har-
ris then let 90 of the first one and seized
the other, who instantly fired two shots,
one of which went through Mr.. Harris
hand, and the other entered his chest,
just over the heart. The burglars
then ran out of the house. Mr..
Harris started to follow them, and had
got as far as the front door when he
stopped and held onto the door for sup
port. Mrs. Harris asked him if
he was hurt, and he said he
thought not, but moment
afterwards he felt the blood tricklIng
been shot Mr.. Harris lived until
about Z a. m. that morning,
and was conscious a large por-
ton of the time. The burglars.
SO Mrs. Harris says, and she
saw all three of them, although indIs-
tinctly, as it was dark. appeared to be
very young fellows. One of them had
a handkerchief tied aIound his face, but
it dropped off in the scuff1e. They also
left dark lantern behind them.
Until the present time the police had
discovered no clue to the burglars, so
far as was known. The arrest of Reed,
it is believed, will be soon followed by
the apprehension of the other two. If
Reed knows anything of the matter it
is possible that he may be induced to
inform on the others.
