The officers at both the sherif's Of
fee and police department stated last
evening that there were absolutely no
developments with regard to the search
for the murderer of Regain. although
there was a rumor last evening that
he had been captured at Granite, but
il could not be verified. Sheriff Regain
left for that point night before last,
as stated in yesterdays Standard, and
the fact thai no word came nom him
up TO A late hour last night led some
of the officers to incline toward the be-
lief that he was either IN hot pursuit
or had captured his man.
One circumstance transpiied yester-
day which may throw some light on
the identity Of the particular sullivan
wanted. A South Main street saloon
keeper who claims to "a known Re-
gan well sent for Acting Chief of Po-
lice Dawson and told him Regan came
into his place Friday evening, evident
ly at the time he was on his way TO
the station, and bought a drink. An
other man was with him, who carried
a grip, and whom Regain addressed as
Sullivan. The saloonkeeper in dsscrib-
ing this man gave an accurate descrip-
ton of John Sullivan. the man who has
been mentioned as having attempted to
swindle the Hennessy Mercantile com
pany last winter, and who was at first
suspected by Detective Murphy at the
time a different description was going
the rounds. All the officers are now
convinced the description they got at
first was wrong, and that this particu-
lar Sullivan is the one wanted Also
lutely nothing. as far as could be
learned. developed yesterday with ref
