for some time figuring on some plan

oiled canvas $50 feet square, which will

and also outside of the base lines. The
canvas will be high enough in the CEN
ter of the diamond TO throw the water
off into the field. and will be so ar
ranged that it can be placed in position
in five minutes. The expense will be
about $3.50. This amount, Mr.. Traf-
fey says, club would make up on one
Sunday game, IL the weather should
clear UP two or three hours before time
to call the game. He says he will ap-
ply for a patent on his invention.

find, who telephoned Coroner Waddell
at North Judson. The coroner, accom-
panied by the sheriff and others, went
to investigate The matter. On arriving
at the lake it was found that the body
had already been exhumed and laid
beside the grave. 1t bore bullet mark
in one cheek, a cut near one eye, and
the skull was crushed in three places,
as though by a bludgeon. 1t was par
TALLY decompo3ed and had the appear
ance of having lain in the ground for
some time. As it could not be identi-
fed by any of those present it was
placed in a wagon and brought to Knox
for further inquiry.
The feeling of the people of the vi
cinity that Srtherlin had something to
do with the crime decided Sheriff Har-
ter to take no chance by delaying his
arrest, so he at once sent deputy to
Plymouth who. with Sheriff Marshall
of that county, arrested Sutherlin at
his home in that city. Sutherlin man
ifested very little concern, not even
asking for what reason he was arrested
even when he was handcuffed. An in
dex of the mans character can prob
ably be seen in his action when arrest
ed. His wife was away from home,
only Sutherlin and son being at the
house. When he left he did not say
a word to his son or leave any word
of any kind for his wife.
The opinion oftenest heard expressed
by those who have watched the case
closely is that Sutherlin undoubtedly
| was guilty. but that he had accom-
plices. This belief is based on the fact
that Fetters was shot, stabbed and
struck with something like a bludgeon,
and it appears improbable that wounds
would be inflicted by three different
kinds of weapons by one man. The
| case will come up at the January term,
which begins in two weeks, and will
undoubtedly attract the greatest crowd
ever drawn together by legal battle
| in the county.
The solving of the mystery surround
| ing the whereabouts of Edward Fetters
proves a strange verification of a
dream. Three weeks ago Mrs. Isaac
Martin, living near the scene of the
| tragedy. had a dream in which was
vividly depicted the murder of man
and his burial under the carcass, of a
mule. The horror of the dream awak-
ened her, and. thoroughly frightened.
she told her husband of the tragedy
revealed to her. The latter preyed
constantly on her mind, and when Fet-
ters' disappearance began to be inves-
tigated the dream was again brought
wildly to her mind, and to that revela-
ton, SO strangely verified, is attributed
the finding of the body of Fetters.
search having been made for many
newly made graves in which might
have been buried murderer's victim.

of lonely wood, heard quarrel and
several shots, but in that region a pru-
dent man does not go out after night
to investigate or prevent other peoples
auarrels. The following morning as
they went to school two little boys
found pool of blood and mans cap
a few rods from the schoolhouse, where
a short cut road leads diagonally
through the woods. Within few min
utes after the cap was found William
L. Suthsclin drove up to where the
boys were standing and when he saw
the cap asked to examine 1t more close
ly. The boy handed it to him and
Sutherlin put it on his head. threw the
hat he was wearing down in his buggy,
remarked that the cap fitted him and
drove away.
The little boy pointed his finger at
Sutherlin at the coroner's inquest and
said. That's the man who took the
cap" Sutherlin's eyes shifted uneasily
from point to point, but he showed no
other sign of nervousness. Evidence is
in the hands of the state showing that
Sutherlin was seen the next morning,
Tuesday, with blood on his shoes and
clothes and with mule hide in his
buggy. He went to Knox after taking

the cap from the boys at the school
bouse, and was in and about the town
the greater part of the day. He told
a man who asked him that day where
Fetters was that he had gone to Ply
mouth. So far as is known Tuesday,
Nov. IL, is the last time Sutherlin was
in Knox until he was brought there to
answer to the charge of murder.
After the quarrel was heard near the
schoolhouse, the pool of blood and the
cap found and the cap taken by Suth-
erlin, many residents of the vicinity
felt confident that crime had been
committed and that Sutherlin was i'm
plicated In it.
One day recently, while looking for
some traps they had out on the shore
OF Eagle lake, two men found newly
made grave that no apparent effort had
been made to conceal near the south
west shore of the lake, which is three
miles east of the election schoolhouse.
In that vicinity, which is very sparsely
settled, it is unusual to bury a dead
animal. 1t is merely hauled off to the
woods far away from any dwelling and
allowed TIC decay. The finding of the
grave was talked of for day or two,
and it was finally determined to inves-
tigate the matter, and party Of five
or six went to the grave for that pur-
pose. They dug down at one side Of
the grave and found the skinned car
cass of mule about three feet under
the surface. They quickly observed
that there was surface dirt still under
the carcass and that it was loose, as
though recently moved. They con-
tinued the investigation, and foot or
so below the carcass of the mule found
the body Of man.
One of the party at once went to
Knox and notified Sheriff Harter of the

jail without bail. Thus terminates the
preliminary investigation into a crime
the most grewsome, both from its bru-
tality, its singularity and the dreary
character of it's surroundings, in the
history of northern Indiana. Sutherlin
is about As years old and has gone
through the trying ordeal of viewing
the partly decomposed body of his sup
posed victim with the stoicism OF an
Indian. Except for slight nervous
ness and restless motions of his hands
he has not eyinced particle of weak
ness.
The mans past record is against him,
as he has been in trouble a number of
times. Sixteen years ago he and a
companion were tried for the murder
of man named Hull, whose head was
crushed with fence picket and his
body afterward placed on the railroad
track in the outskirts of Warsaw, Ind.
The victim, Edward William Fetters,
was AZ years old, small in stature, only
S feet inches tall, and of slight build.
He was the son of respectable German
shall county for many years before
their death. His father has been dead
about ten years, his mother only a
short time. Fifteen years ago Ed mar
ried Eta Duff, daughter of w. w. Duff, ,
who now conducts a flour and feed ex-
change at Monterey, Pulaski county,
Ind. They have five children living,
four girls and boy, but separated four
years ago, chiefly because of Fetters'
drinking and general shiftlessness. Mrs.
Fetters returned to her fathers, where
she still makes her home when not
working to support herself. The chill
dren are scattered. While trifiing, Fet-
ters was entirely inoffensive and harm
less. He squandered his share of his
fathers estate in short order when it
came into his hands.
For the past year Fetters had made
his home with Sutherlin at Plymouth
On the death of his mother some time
ago he inherited about sixty acres of
land, which was considerably incum-
! bered. Soon after the death of his
mother Fetters sold his equity in this
land TO Sutherlin, the consideration be-
ing some horses and vehicles and an
agreement that Sutherlin was to board
him for specified time, said to be two
years. The two men have spent a
portion of the time travelling over the
country trading horses, buying horse
hides and conducting various small
barters. They were in Knox on that
kind of trip Monday, Nov. 16, and
left town together that evening near
dark, saying they were going home. 1t
was not shown at the preliminary trial
that Ed Fetters was ever seen alive
after leaving Knox that evening. 1t
will be in evidence at the trial in court,
however that the two men were still
together at s o'clock that night several
miles east of town, where they tried to
trade horses with man. That is the
last time he was seen alive, so far as
any evidence shows.
An hour later, at about o'clock, that
same Monday evening, two or three
persons who live near the election
schoolhouse. which stands in the edge

The Cincinnati Times-Star is in er
ror when 1t says that Manager Selee
is alone in his opposition to sacrifice
hitting. Joyce, Arson and other league
managers are opposed to it. and even
so conspicuous manager as Hanlon
thinks 1t should be stopped in Difference
to the wishes Of the majority of the
patrons. and in the interest of base
running. which sacrifice hitting has
very much curtailed. The hit-and-run
game is the only scientific point of play
worthy of attention and practice. Sac

and libel on that style of play. To
all of which we say amen.

A Twice Told Tale.

ated Press, copying from a local paper.
gave the snap away, and told the reason
of the dissatisfaction with Mr.. McGun-
nigle, OF Louisville. The Colonies
leader has been his own enemy. There
is no disputing the right to take a
drink when he wants to, and possibly
the story of his habits is exaggerated.
but 1t has been common talk for long
time that his habits were not such as
to set a good example to club of ball
players. 1t is not said of him that he
