her If she could guide them out of the

up the trail over gulches and mesas on
the south side of the Gunnisou to
Escalante. and pointed the young bandit
to the main road. All along the route he
would study the land, and several times
asked about caves.
Little did this mountain girl dream
she was the companion OF noted bank

manners made the whole party friends
with the Now family. They called in the
evenings and bought vegetables and talk

Ladies of the W. G. I. U. go Through 1t
Under Police Protection.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Seven members OF
the Womans' Christian Temperance
Congress, which closed its sessions Sat-
urday night, will carry away from Chi
cago knowledge of its darker side,
which will, no doubt, become the
foundation Of many addresses in ad-
vocacy OF social purity and temperance.
The experience which the crusaders
gained was found in a series OF "slum-
ming" tours under police protection
through the "evee" district Of Chicago.
The party comprised the following
well known members OF the Indiana
Womans Christian Temperance Union:
Miss Mollie Hay, OF Indianapolis;
Mrs. Z. L. Calkins, Of South Bend Mrs.
Ella Moore, OF Lakeville; Mrs. Emily
Tompkins, Of Elkhart; Mrs. Addie
Fields and Miss Leonara Ayers, of In
dianapolis; Mrs. L. Mendenhall and
Mrs. Gertrude Fulton, OF Richmond.
They were escorted by two detectives
from the Central station, and Charles
L. Stevens, OF the "Levee," and r. S.
Fulton, of Richmond, Ind. The party
mot at Harrison street station at one
o'clock in the morning, and at once
started out to visit the most notorious
dives. At the first place they we're
denied admission, because too many
people were there already, but received
an invitation to come again, and they
would be shown through the place. At
one place all the men save one fled from
the house. This man was drunk and
insisted upon having dance with one
OF the missionaries. He was finally
squelched by one Of the officers The
trip occupied three hours and at its
close Miss Hay, who has done mission
ary work in the slums before, said:
~ have been through every part OF
New York and have seen life in its
worst forms. This does not compare
with what there is there. 1t is bad
enough, however. It was an experience
which the ladies who were with me
will never forget, and from which some
of them will not recover for some time.
Not that they were made i'll, but the
shock they received on beholding such
scenes OF vice was very distressing to
many Of our party. have seen but one
OF the ladies to-day, and on inquiry as
TO how the rest were l received the
answer that few ot them had slept at
all last night. The information re-
ceived will enable them to conduct the
warfare against the evils OF vice and in
temperance.

wnArrlN 01URDEREEs CAUGHT.

Seven NlcR Concerned in the Awful Crime.
one of Them Makes Full Confession.
His Arrest Caused by His Wife.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. GA spe'
cial to tine Sentinel from Washington,
Ind, says: At last the guilty murderers
Of the Wrattan family are in tho tolls OF
the law.
Five OF the suspects arrested and
taken to Jacksonville two weeks ago
were rightly suspected, but it was not
through them that the heinous crimi.
nails were exposed.
Last Saturday the grand jury ordered
the arrest OF James Stone, the man who
came to the Wrattan house early Tues
day morning and first discovered the
terrible tragedy. His arrest was caused
through his own vile, who appeared be-
fore the grand jury and testified that
Stone arose in the night and complained
OF q violent toothache, and that he was
going to a dentist to have it OK
tracted; that he did not return uutil
late hour and then being covered with
blood, he asked for change OF clothes;
that Stone maintained that the blood
on his clothes was caused by the bleed
ing OF his tooth. On inquiry it was
found that no doctor or dentist had eX-
tracted a tooth from Stone. This was
deemed strong evidence, especially
when coming from the man's wife.
AS soon as Stone was brought to
town the grand jury went to work to
obtain a confession from him.
At first he strenuously denied every
thing. but being assured that clemency
would be guaranteed to him if he made
confession, he, at midnight, yielded to
their overtures. lie told his story
about as follows:
Knowing that Mrs. Wrattan kept a
great deal of money about the house,
Grandson Cosby, a notorious Charac-
ter in this country, planned robbery.
A gang of seven persons. that formed
sort OF society for robberies and general
hellishness, was notified OF his plan.
Their names are Grandson Cosby, Lon
Williams, Martin Yarber, OF this city;
William Kaiys, of Pike county; John
W. White, Gipp Clark and James Stone.
The plan was that Yarber and Clark
should get into the house and commit
the robbery while the others we're to
stand guard. At the time when the
robbery was to be committed Cosby
and Stone had not yet arrived. Cosby
was in the city Monday evening, aud
was so drunk that he got past going,
and did not reach the house at all, but
Stone arrived after the murder had
been committed, and because he was
late the other conspirators wallowed
him in tho blood OF the victims, and in
that condition permitted him to 60
home, and that was the nail that fas-
tened down the lids Of their collins.
They could not find cent OF the
money. AS Stone did not arrive until
the six murders were committed, he
does not know why they KILLED the
Wratten family.
All the criminals were arrested and
taken to Jetiersonvile last night. Will
iams and Kaiys were already in Jetfcr-
sonville prison. Brown, another sus-
pect, who was taken to JeiIersonville,
had no connection with the tragedy.
and he will be released. The excite
ment to-day is more intense than ever.

Chief of Police McNichol received a
telegram yesterday, stating that Samuel
W. Dorsey, n colored barber Of Wash
ington, Pa, had been cruelty murdered
and robbed by two colored highway
men early yesterday morning, and ask
ing him to be on the lookout for the
murderers. The Associated Press tele-
gram below gives the details OF the
horrible crime.
According to latest accounts the right
men had not been captured. When the
train from Washington, Pa, pulled into
the B. & 0. depot last evening Officer
Carney noticed two suspicious charac.
ters get of, and Immediately collared
them. They were taken to police head
quarters where they gave their names
rs Charles Jacks and Fred Jones, and
claimed Fairmont W. Va, as their
home. They were searched, but no
evidence OF the crime was found upon
them.
The story telegraphed that one OF the
parties was trying to sell diamond
stud in this city iG without foundation.
Jacks and Jones evidently know moth
ing OF the horrible affair, and will in all
probability be liberated to-day. But
the caution OF Chief McNichols can not
be too highly commended in holding
them until he receives perfect descrip-
ton of the men who committed the
murder
The murdered man was well known
in Wheeling colored circles, and every
one spoken to last night gave him the
highest character as citizen. lie was
quite well off, was councilman from
the Third ward, and was the most in
offensive OF men. The people OF his
race in this city greatly deplore his
tragic death, and win aid to their ut
most in the capture of the villains.
Dorsey carried life insurance policy
for 5000. His father. aged about
eighty years, is still living.

in charge OF Conductor Phipps and
Engineer Day, OF engine 100. The east
bound train was in charge OF Conduc-
tor Guinter and Engineer Cowan, OF
engine l3l. The train was late and was
running at good speed, but owing to
the fog and the engineers inability to
see where he was, Engineer Cowen had
commenced to slow up, as he thought it
was about time for him to reach the
switch. Suddenly there loomed up in
front OF him an engine, and before he
could jump they crashed into each
other and were piled up in a wreck.
Engineer Cowan was frightfuily
scalded and was taken from his engine
by passengers who had escaped injury.
