County superintendent Case.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHOALS, Ind, Sept. 11-Judge d. j. Hef-
from, in the Martin Circuit Court to-day
decided the question involving the legality
of the election of county superintendent
in this county in June The trustees met
and organized by electing one of their num-
Der chairman, and proceeded to ballot for
superintendent After 1913 ballots and no
election, a motion was made to change the
mode of election from one "by ballot to
one ''by motion to appoint" A vote was
taken on this and resulted in tie, when
the auditor cast the deciding vote. in favor
of the motion. There was then a motion
made to appoint Eliza Mcfarland superin-
tendent for the ensuing two years. A mo-
ton was made to amend by inserting the
name of John T. Morris instead. When a
vote was taken on the amendment it stood
five for and five against whereupon the
auditor decided against the amendment
Then vote was taken on the previous
question, resulting in a tie and was de-
cid'ed by the auditor in favor of the motion
Morris was the incumbent and he refused
to gave up the Office on the ground that
there was no legal election, holding that
the audltor had no right to vote except
when two candidates were being voted for
and there being a tie, Judge Hebron holds
that the auditor did exactly right.

that a cold-blooded double murder had
been committed in the western portion of
Warrick county about fifteen miles south
west of Huntingburg, yesterday evening
George Slaughter, negro shot and killed
William Jones and wife, both colored, and
escaped. He is being hunted by officers

marshal, found out yesterday morning that
Slaughter had returned to Warrick county.
He went to BOonville, got a warrant, and
arrested Slaughter, taking him to the Jones

cused he whipped out a revolver and shot
both Jones and his wife before Deputy
Robinson could interfere. He then escaped
from Robinson and struck out towards
Princeton. kilograms were at once sent to
various points, but up to a late hour no
definite information concerning the course
of the murderer has been received. The
people of the neighborhood where the deed
was committed are worked up to a high
pitch of excitement, and if the murderer
be caught in the neighborhood short work

ANOTHER BODY FOUND
ELEVEN VICTIMS OFF THE COLORADO
WRECK NOW IDENTIFIED.
Charred Remains of Engineer Ostran-
der Taken from the Debrfs-Ver-
dict of the Coroner.

NEWCASTLE, Col, Sept. 1.-THE body
of Robert Ostrander, engineer of the Colo
RADIO Midland stock train which collided
with the Rio Grande passenger yesterday.
was found to-day in the debris OF the
wreck. The head and one arm were burned
off. Rev. Alex. Hartman, of Hersher ILL.,,
whose wife and two children were killed in
the accident, died in the hospital at Salida
this morning.
Frank Burbank, conductor, and Engineer
Ostrander, deceased, are charged by the
coroner's jury with being responsible for
the frightful wreck. The inquest was held
this morning. The jury decided from the
evidence that the conductor and engineer
attempted to arrive at New Castle siding
on the time allotted by order of the train dis
patcher to the Rio Grande passenger west
bound. Conductor Burbank was released on
his own recognizance this morning, and aft
er the verdict was announced he was rear
rested The verdict was received without
any surprise. The known dead now number
eleven. The coroner's research among the
ruins have convinced him that from six to
ten more persons met death in the awful
accident. This materially reduces the origl-
nal estimate
