OF mystery about the death OF seventy-four year
old Theodore Wagonheiser. the village cobpier OF
Jordantown, near Merchantviile He was found
propped UP against the wall OF his little house TINS
afternoon. Between his legs rested a doubie-bar-
relied shotgun and In his face between his eyes
was a great, gaping hole The wound was fresh
one and was probably inflicted some time this
morning yet in Jordantown heard any
shot In the old cobbers shop That Is. no one
will admit having heard any. There were no
marks OF powder the old mans face. and his
peculiar position against the wall looked much as
though he had been placed there.
Below stairs there were marked evidences OF a
struggle, for the meagre furnishings were scat
tered promiscuously about. while number OF
dishes which had been used doubtless at break
fast, were lying broken upon the floor. The old
man was reported 10 have considerable money
about the place yet the officials. who made "a
vigorous search. could find no trace OF any.
Wagonheser formerly had AS housekeeper Caro-
line Winkweiler, but they had quarrel a few
weeks ago and parted. after each had the other
arrested on q charge Of assault. The woman Is
said 10 be living In Homestesdve. Robert
Jordan and Howard Anderson, two negroes who
discovered the old cobbler's body, were arrested
merely as witnesses, and along with them Henry
Jordan. Job Polk and Jerry Hany. all eolorsd we're
held by the Coroner.

Through the medium Of his paper DR.. Moore
wields large political influence throughout Great

Dr. Moore's wide knowledge Of British political af-

are OF especial interest just at this time. In the
