AN 0CTOGENARlAN'S DEATH.

in Her Room.

Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, aged eighty-three
years, died suddenly yesterday afternoon, at
the home of her daughter, a Mrs. Mackey,
living on Cooper street, Oak Hill. Mrs.
Baker had been in fair health, and ate
hearty dinner yesterday. Immediately after
dinner she went upstairs to her room and
was found there some time afterward, lying
on the floor. She was dead when the fam
lily discovered her. Mrs. Baker was the wife
of Henry Baker, who died about ten years

THIS TIME THE POLICE SEARCH FOR
HIM AT BROAD RIPPLE.
Mrs. BremIn ermann PIuclxiIy Agrees
to Drive the Officers to His
Hiding Place.

yesterday afternoon that Wilder, the col
ored desperado who is wanted for the muir
der of Otto Minger, had been seen mile
north of Broad Ripple, armed with a shot
gun and revolver. bike Cops" STREET. and
Lancaster rode to Broad Ripple, where
they went to the home or Mrs. Bremmer-
man, who drove them to the place A COM
plete search of the woods in which it was
reported Wilder was hiding was made, but
he could not be found.
In the afternoon 81 man came to Mrs.
Bremmerman's house and asked her TO tele-
phone for the police as he had seen Wilder.
The man insisted that he was not mistaken
in the identity, as he had seen circular
with Wilder's picture on it. Mrs. Brem-
norman communicated with Superintend-
ent Quigley, urging him to send officers to
capture Wilder. Mrs. Bremmerman said
the people were nervous at his being in the
neighborhood. The superintendent urged
that she see If the constables at Broad
Ripple could not do something. Mrs. Brem-
norman later telephoned that the con-
stables pleaded that they had no convey
ance to drive to the woods. Meantime Fred
Kissel, at whose saloon Munger worked
when he was killed, telephoned the superin-
tendent that man had just informed him
he saw Wilder and recognized him by
picture Kissel had shown him Superin-
tendent Quigley decided there might be
some truth in the report, and determined
to send Holtz and Lancaster to Broad Rip
pie. Mrs. Bremmerman pluckily agreed to
drive them to the place where Wilder
was reported to be in hiding. The officers
rode to her house at Broad Ripple on their
wheels, where they found Mrs. Bremmer-
man ready to drive them to the woods. 1t
was reported that he was staying in log
hut. The place was searched and the Off
GERS went through the woods carefully, but
found no trace of him. They met a man
who said that he had seen colored man
with a shotgun and dog, evidently hunting.

Hand Composition Only TO BE Employed
in Kansas State Work.
J. s. Sparks, state printer-elect OF
Kansas, announces that the use OF
typesetting machines will be abolished
in the state printing Office with the be-
ginning of his administration.
During the last session Of the legis-
lature the printers made strong effort
to secure the passage of bill prohib-
iting the use OF machines in the state
office. In this they were unsuccessful,
but they did succeed in having attached
to the appropriation bill rider which
provides that the state printer shall
receive but 10 cents per 1000 ems for
machine work.
1t is claimed that at this rate the
machines cannot be operated except at
a loss and as result they will be
thrown out and the state will pay from
80 to 40 cents per 1000 for hand COM
position.

Mortuary Custo ms.

The Guatuso Indians of Central
America live in considerable numbers
in a single hut, and the village visited
comprised about fifteen huts. The
dead are buried in the habitations,
and the earth covering the graves
settles until 1t is about foot below
the surface of the floor. AS time
goes on the graves become less dis
tinct, and finally they are completely
obliterated. When a person dies the
relatives wall aloud, crying I" am dis
tressed." When a warrior is buried
his body is provided with certain
feathers of two currassows, a bunch
being placed in each hand, and for
some time after death cacao is placed
upon the grave, in order that the de-
parted warrior may be supplied with
drink.

THE JURY COULD NOT AGREE.
STOOD TEN TO TWO IN AMERICAN
TOBACCO COMPANY CASE.
EIGHTEEN BALLOTSBUT NO RESULT
Oicott 10 Anxious For . New Trial ~
oncs, while the Matter 10 Frssh
In the Public Mind.

The jury in the conspiracy case Of
the American Tobacco Company,
which has been on trial before Judge
Fitzgerald in tie court Of general ses.
sions, at New York, failed to agree.
Although no verdict for the prose-
cution was rendered, q disagreement
is nevertheless regarded by District
Attorney Olcott as . victory for the
people.
The jury had been out fifteen hours
when they came in and informed the
court that they were unable to agree.
It was decided that it would be useless
to lock them up again and they were
discharged.
It was learned that eighteen ballots
had been taken within twelve hours
and the vote stood ten for conviction
and two for acquittal.
The jurors who held outfor acquittal
were Hobart @. Fash and Foster Milf
ken. During the morning Juror Dinsze
became ill and was permitted to consult
a physician. The doctor declared that
the Juror was in danger Of an apoplec-
tic stroke and advised him TO get out
of the courthouse as soon 30 possible.
The Juror, however, was determined to
fight for a conviction and would not
hurry matters.
District Attorner Olcott said that il
it were not for the fact that oil bail
cases had gone over until the fall he
would have moved for new trial on
Monday next.
"when a jury stands ten for con-
viction and two for scquittal, tho peo-
ple," he said, "are entitled TO deci-
sion on the law while the matter is
still fresh in their minds"

MISSING MAN SHOWS UP.
Four Of His Neighbors We're In Jsi
Charged with His Murder.

Four of His Neishbors Were In Jail
Charged with His Murder.
On April 25th last Morgan Ollif,
who lived near Statesboro, Ga, dissp-
peared, and although . most diligent
search was made by his relatives and
friends, he could not be found.
Some time after Olliff disappeared .
dead body was found in the woods
near the town in bad state OF decom-
position, and at first no one could tell
who it was.
When tho mystery was at its height,
some one suggested that it was Ollif,
and almost as soon as the suggestion
was made, a dozen people quickly
identified it as the missing man.
How the Identification was made, no
one now seems to know, as the same
men who identified it, had seen the
body before without even q thought
that they were looking Mt the remains
1 Of Ollif. 1t was finally accepted as
1.-THE body Of the missing man, and pre-
parations were made for its burial.
But while these preparations we're
going on an anxiety developed to know
how the man had met his death. Some
one suggested that there had been an
old grudge against Olliff by M. O.
Barnes, Conley Barnes, @. I. Howell
! and Wesley Waters. Then il was not
long before some one volunteered the
theory that these four men had killed
Olliff and left the body where 1t was
found.
The theory quickly evolved into a
( declaration, and the four men were
arrested, charged with the murder.
They all denied knowing anything
about Cliffs death, but like every one
about the community, they accepted
the dead body for the one Of the man
they were charged with killing.
Upon the arrest of the quartet the
sheriff placed them in Jail. Warrants
weresworn out against them and they
were given a preliminary trial. The
investigation was thorough and COM
plete, and strong case was made out
against all four of the men, despite
their emphatic denial of the charge.
They were refused bail and sent to
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury, and in Jail they have been await
ing the coming term of court for Q
trial, with everything pointing to a
conviction of murder.
Tuesday morning Morgan Olliff, the
supposed dead man, walked into town
and seeking the sheriff, informed him
that he had Just heard that four men
men whom he had known-were in
Jail charged with numbering him.
1t did not take the people long to
ascertain that it was really Olliff who
was talking to them and quite crowd
gathered about the sheriff asking him
to open the Jail doors and let the four
men out, which was done without de-
lay.
Olliff declined to talk about himself
further than to say he had just heard
in his new home tina the four men
were in Jail, charged with killing him,
and that he merely visited Statesboro
to keep innocent people from being
hanged.
The people are now wondering who
the man was they buried for Olliff.
That man was evidently the victim Of
an assassin's gun and near the body
was heard shots by some people before
the body was found, the time being
fixed near the date upon which Ollif
disappeared.
