IMPRINT HAS DISAPPEARED.
Great Western Car on which Was
Print of siurderer's Hand Brought


to the City.
After considerable effort those inter-
ested in the search for the murderers of
the Great Western brakemen have sue
ceeded in having the car on which was
the print of one of the murderer's hands
brought to this city. This car was in
Conductor Fickas train on the night
of the murder and was next to the coal
car on which the encounter took place.
On the end of this car was the bloody
imprint Of a mans hand. supposed to
have been made by one of the murder
ers when he threw one of the bodies
from the train. When the car arrived
Friday, however. it was found that the
marks had disappeared, probably
through the work of the elements. This
is to be regretted, because the print of
the hand would be an important point
in Identifying one of the murderers, if
they should be captured.
The sheriff has received letter from
Mr.. w. B. Hawkins, who is at present
at Parker. s. D., saying that the sheriff
there had been asked by him to send for
a description of the supposed murder
ers, as the men under arrest there We're
being held for assaulting and severely
injuring conductor on one of the lines
entering that city. No further word has
been received from Parker.

SHOT IN THE LEG.

Sherman KraEt Receives a Bullet

Man He is Alleged to Have As.
sauIted-Arrested White Attempt-
ing to Escape.
Sherman Kraft, Fifth ward man,
was shot through his right leg yester-
day afternoon, on Twentieth street, in
the vicinity Of the Baltimore & Ohio
depot, by w. B. McMahOn. The shoot
ing was the result of an alteration be-
tween Mcmahon on the one side, and
Kraft, and James and Charles Coleman
on the other, and 1t created no little
excitement for awhile.
Last week at the Elks' fair, Nc
Alahon raised disturbance at a len-
onade stand conducted by the Cole
man brothers, both of whom are young
men. He threw q. glass at one OF the
brothers, and In return was given q
hook on the Jaw. Realizing he would
get into further trouble from the fair
committee, who ordered Officer Shields
to eject him. McBiHhon left the
grounds. Yesterday afternoon while on
his way to take the Baltimore & Ohio
$50 p. m. train for Taylorstown. Pa, he
encountered the Colemans near the de-
pot and words followed.
Kraft was with the Colemans, and
eye witnesses say that his party cast
the first stone; in fact, threw a great
many at McAiahon. who backed up
against fence and drawing his gun
biazed away. He fired three or four
shots, one bullet passing through
Krnft's right leg above the knee. AS
soon as McMahon started to shoot his
assailants ran for the Wheeling Bak-
cry Company's plant, on the opposite
side of the street, and other points OF
cover.
Mcmahon attempted to escape by
boarding the 500 Baltimore & Ohio
train, but the train was stopped and he
was arrested by j. j. Hamm, Balti-
more & Ohio officer, and taken before
SQUIRE Fitzpatrick, who held him in
$500 bond for his appearance this morn
ing, on the charge Of carrying conceal
ed weapons. Mcmahon is a bartender.
The city ambulance removed Kraft to
his home, and Or. Taylor dressed his
wound. A host Of witnesses will tes-
tify at McAIahon's hearing to-day.

Police May Drop Investigation OF the
Murder Mystery.
There were no new developments yes
terday in the mystery surrounding the
death of Louis Dittmore, and Lieut..
Eddie Michaels and officer Devinney,
sent down the river Wednesday evening
by Chief clemans in search of joe
Drlller, suspected of having murdered
Dittmore in houseboat at West
Wheeling, returned to the city yester-
day morning about o'clock without
their man or any clue as to his where
abouts.
Last night Chief Clemans stated that
he would prosecute the case no further.
What steps had been taken were at his
personal expense, and he didn't feel
Justified In going out OF his Jurisdiction
without some reCompense. The chief
cited other counties which furnished
expenses for officers In travelling about
looking for men wanted on criminal
charges, and he thought the Ohio coun-
ty authorities should shoulder the bur-
den Of trying to catch Drlller. The
chief held consultation with Sherift
Richards, who may decide to go into
the hunt.
Drlller has good start already, and
It would be difficult to ascertain his
whereabouts The last heard of him
was in BenwOod Tuesday night. the
night when Dlttmore met his death. As
stated in yesterdays Intelligencer, he
was accompanied by woman. II was
thought he subsequently went down the
river. Lieutenant MiChaels and officer
Devinney went us far az Belmont Park,
spending nearly all night questioning
the natives on the river front, and they
did an amount Of walking that would
have reflected credit on the most ar
dent street car strike sympathi5er.
