An Old Murder Story Revived.

HARLAN, IOWA. May 16-All day
Saturday there was much excite
ment in this city over the. renewed
search for the body of Frank Rich
ardson. Richardson, unique char
acter, who lived in a miserly sort of
a way, while at the same time lend
ing money to the farmers of Shelby
county, disappeared nysteriously
three years agolast August. He is
known to have had many notes and
considerable money on his person
at the time of his disappearance. 1t
is believed by many that the man
was murdered and his body hidden
somewhere near the city.
| On Saturday a woman comm Q.
from Omaha and calling herself
| Young made her appearance. She
claims to be a spiritualist. and in
sists that she knows exactly where
the body of Richardson lies. South
east of this city about half a mile is
an old mill turned by the Nishna-
botna river. Two and one-half rods
above the mill race is the exact spot,
so the Young woman says, where
the body lies, after having been
thrown there in sack loaded with
stones. She induced a number of
|
above the spot, on Saturday. A lit.
tie digging was done and the work
will be continued this week.
The woman declares that the spir-
it of Richardson appeared to her
three times lately. She says he was
murdered by three men, an Ameri-
can, a Dane and a German, just as
darkness came on one August night
and that he was buried until the Sth
day of last May, when the body was
exhumed and thrown into the river.
She actually points out place half
a mile from the mill where a hole
had been dug, and now contains
nothing.
The Sheriff of Shelby county stood
on the bank watching the perform
ance, but apparently took little
stock in it. A great crowd gathered
to watch things.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a deamon within
a man. Anyone who has had an attack
of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infection is demo-
MAC enough to warrant the belief. 1t
has never been claimed that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm would cast out de-
mons, but it will cure rheumatism and
hundreds bear testimony to the truth
of'this statement. One application re-
lieves the pain, and this quick relief
which it affords is alone worth many
times its cost. For sale by G. w. Hous-
ton, at Extra; A. H. Roberts, Audubon.
