WHY

do you persist in using
those old Clipped dishes!
You probably never knew
you could buy a ia
piece Haviland & Co.
French China Decorated
Dinner Set for S34.oo,
an open stock pattern at
that. You need not buy
the whole set-.-for a small
family. you could posi-
bly, select what you need
Tor $500 or less. Havi-
land China is cheapest
because it is tough and
when Clipped does not
turn black. There are a
great many people who
are replacing broken
dishes from our open
stock patterns. 1t pays
them, it will pay you.
Try it!

WAS CARROLL MURDERED ?
Verdict of the COrOner's Jury Says lie
Was Victim of FOul PLAY,

Coroner Longstreet had another
hearing at Mahon's hall, Olyphant, last
night in the case of Thomas Carroll, of
Carbondale. who was found uncon-
scious on the streets of Olyphant three
weeks ago and who died five days later.
Nearly two dozen witnesses were ex-
amined and as many more We're heard
at the hearing Tuesday night, but none
of them could throw any light on the
case beyond that they saw Carroll in
an intoxicated and almost helpless con-
dition. Some of the witnesse saw him
fall. and they helped to pick him up.
DR.. Leonard Kelley, Of Olyphant, one
of the jurors, maintained that the
wounds could not have been produced
except by blows, ana he argued that
into the other jurors and they returned
the following verdict:
We, the undersigned Jurors find that
Thomas Carroll came TO his death from
fracture of the base of the skull. which
We believe was caused by a blunt instru-
ment in the hands of party or parties
TO the jury unknown. a. J. Wincbrakc,
NJ. w. Cummings, DIR. Leonard Kelley, A.
Il. Conger, Joseph Iamie and Henry Pray.
So far there is no evidence to fasten
the crime on anybody. The general
opinion is that Carroll was not mur-
dcred.

was almost a miracle that a number Of

started down again. They had come

which about half of their number had
crossed, when they We're startled by
rumbling sound resembling the roar OF
distant thunder Or artillery. The next
instant the earth trembled and smoke
ard steam We're seen issuing from q
cliff directly above them.
Air seemed filed with flying rocks
and an avalanche of powders came
tearing down the mountain side direct
ly toward the point where the little
knot of mountaineers We're staTding.
Orc of the largest powders struck
near Miss Fay Killingsworth and she
was lifted into the air, the body being
twisted into a circle so that her hands
and feet touched, and thrown INTO a
creva.se ten feet deep. She was 5.r-
led under rocks and dirt, but escaped
with serious bruises. Other members
of the party escaped with scratches. In
ten minutes the disturbance was over
and all was quiet again.

OFFER REWARD OF 5000.
County Commissioners Will Pay II for
Arrest and Conviction Of Mrs.
WestcOtt's Murderer.

County Commissioners John Demuth
S. w. Roberts and Giles Roberts decided
yesterday to offer II reward of 5000 for
the capture of George Van Horn, the
murderer of Mrs. Josephine Wescott
and they have published official adver-
tisements in all the city daily newspa-
perS to that effect.
The county commissioners were wait
ing for the action of the coroner's jury.
The verdict rendered Wednesday night,
declaring that Mrs. Wescott was mur-
dered and charging Van Horn with the
crime. brought the case officially to the
notice of the commissioners and they
Immediately agreed upon Offering the
reward to the amount before stated.
Neither the police nor County Detec-
tive Leyshon appear to know more
about the murderer's hiding place now
than they did the day after he stained
his hands with the woman's blood. They
seem to think. though, that 1t Will not
be- long before he is caught.
1T is a most difficult thing said
Chief Robling. ''for d murderer to eS-
capc. no matter what facilities he had
at his command. He may travel across
sooner or later he will run to the end or
his rope" This was eXemplified in the
case of CreZenZo MerolO. the first man
hanged in this county. He got TO Italy
and lived there nearly u year, but after
all he was captured.
WILL START A CHASE.
Van Horn has very little money and
he is we'll known. The 5000 offered by
the county commissioners and the Sao
by Mayor Bailey and Chief of Police
Robling will go good ways toward
starting a chase after him which VIII
hardly fail to result in his capture.
The effect the offer of a reward Is
having was attested in the station
house last night about II o'clock when
two citizens living in the neighhorhood
of the Westcott house, came seeking
Lieutenant Davis to complain of the
verita BILE hordes of amateur detectives
who were securing the back yards, nos
ing through the outhouses and even
prying into the cellars.
Some boy reported during the even-
ing that he saw Van Horn somewhere
in the locality. This brought all the
slcuths who are working on the case to
that immediate vicinity and caused Il
detectives at once. Police We're sent
down To- order the dsturbers to quit
the private premises.
