THE MISSING PAPERS.

Considerable local excitement was
caused the past week by the announce.
ment that the State evidence in the
recent express robbery case had been
stolen. Inquiry developed the fact
that the mayor, after hearing the case
on Tuesday of last week, gathered the
papers referring to the same together
in his docket Ind carried them down
to his store, and placed them on desk
in the rear end of the same as had
always been his custom, and paid no
further attention to them until Friday
evening when he again referred to
them for the purpose of making out his
transcript, when he discovered. to his
astonishment, that the evidence of the
State witnesses, which had been taken
down upon paper by the court reporter
were missing. 1t is believed that they
have been stolen, for had the mayor
lost them through ordinary careless
ness, it seems hardly possible that just
the particular part of the history bear
ing against the prisoners would have
been missing, as the other papers were
left intact. Mayor Campbell was com
pletely dumbfounded by the strange
disappearance of the papers and does
not even have a suspicion of who the
guilty parties are. He went over Sat-
urday and laid the matter before the
court to the best of his ability, under
the circumstances, and was informed
that the parties concerned in the theft
had simply their trouble for their
pains, as the loss of the evidence would
make no difference in the case-simply
necessitating the calling of the wit
nesaes before the grand jury and re-
| hearing their testimony. Manila Re

Three Boys Meet Death.

accident, resulting in the loss of three
lives, occurred yesterday at the
Elba mine, six miles from here. Five
boys were riding car which is used in

the switch the wrong way and the car
descended rapidly from the top of the
shaft house towards the shaft open

down the shaft opening, hurling the
three young boys to the bottom of the

Indictments Returned.

The grand jury did not indict Gus
Wles. In fact. the evidence in the
case was not considered by them This
was due to ''The Boys" making state
ment that they had concluded not to
prosecute and that the goods had been
made good in part. The grand jury
was DISPOSED to go ahead with the case,
but it was not thought that anything
could be done without the cooperation
of the prosecuting witnesses.
In our opinion this is most unsatis
factory ending of the case. If Mr..
Wies was guilty, he should have been
punished whether restitution was made
or not. Such otfenses are not against
the individual alone but are offenses
against the public and should be pun
ished. Again, if Mr.. Wiess was inno-
cent, the grand jury should have taken
such action as would have allowed him
to go free, not only in person but freed
from any suspicion of guilt.
The grand jury failed to indict John

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Under capias,
issued on new Indictment by the
Cook county grand jury, Liant *. SAILS
bury was formally placed under arrest
on charge of embezzling $4,000
placed in escrow some two weeks ago
as part of an alleged fund to be used
in securing a S4,00O,OO0 contract for
the construction OF municipal water
works at Grand Rapids, Mich, where
he is city attorney. He was released
on bonds of $4,000.
A statement was issued by Attorney
Crofoot, the representative Of Guy G.
Barton, the Omaha millionaire, from
whom the $4,000 had been obtained.
In this statement, Crofoot refers to the
$4,000 as portion of fund needed
in the water works deal ''for legal and
promotion expenses"
He asserts that under the circum-
stances Mr.. Barton would personally
much prefer not to be Instrumental in
continuing the prosecution, but that
the case is in the hands of States At
torney Deneen and will have TO take
the usual course.
| What is regarded as a loophole for
i the defense of Salisbury is outlined in
reference in the CrOfoot statement
setting forth that E. E. Loss, the Chi
cago promoter, who negotiated the
water works deal with Salisbury, as
serted that the money was to be held
| in common ownership" after it had
passed out of the hands of Mr.. Bar
tons son and had found its way into
the safety deposit vault, from which
it is alleged Salisbury afterward sur
reptitiously removed it,
All speculation as to whether the
/ $4,000 had really been returned to the
Bartons was set at rest by Attorney
( Crofoot's written declaration that il
was restored to representative Of the
rightful owners by Salisbury wher
the latter arrived in this city from

/ Case Over to Mch 7
Many Witnesses We're Exam
ined-- But Decision is De
layed.

| The grand jury spent one day in con-
sidering the case of Jackson and Sto-
vail charged with robbing the express
safe at Manila. In the hope that
something new might turn up the pros
ecution was not anxious to try the case
at this term of court and in order to
avoid this we are informed that the
grand jury adjourned until March
| when it is probable that an Indictment
will be returned
/ From the report of the preliminary
examination and from conversation
with various parties we gather that the
| testimony of the defense is something
along this line.
One witness testities that he was in
a saloon in Manila with Jackson and
i Stoyall when the train whistled in and
] that Jackson remarked, 'There is the
4 train, and that he left the saloon with
Stovall going toward the depot. An
other witness saw them on the way to
the station and states that Jackson
i lodged into an alley when he passed
4 Another witness will testify that he
1 heard Jackson say to another man on
the platform, Don't hurry the east
bound train is two hours late anyway.
About three blocks east of the depot
the tracks were found in the fresh
snow of two men evidently carrying a
safe. The strap hung down and this
left a track in the snow. The prosecu-
4 tion witnesses claim that the foot
prints correspond exactly to the di-
mensions of overshoes identified as be-
longing to Stovall and Jackson. even to
a diamond shaped trademark on one of
the men. These tracked were traced
to hollow where the safe was opened
and sledge and crowbar were found
which witnesses claim were owned by
Jackson and were seenin his possession
about two weeks before the robbery.
J, The tracks led in a round abou. way
to the vicinity of Jackson's IS home. 1t
! is further stated that witnesses testi-
fed to calling at Jackson's home about
10 p. m. and being informed that Jack
son was not at home. watch was kept
upon the house until 5 a. M, and it is
stated that Jackson was not seen tc
enter up to that time. 1t is also stated
that Jackson and Stovall were gone
from Manila all of the day following

TEST OF KOCH THEORY.
Chicago Physicians Find Method
That Will Not Endanqer Life.

Chicago Physicians Ftho Mes"ou
That Will Not Endanser Life.
Chicago. Aug. ia test of Dr..
Koch's theory that bovine tuberculosis
cannot be communicated to human be-
ings is proposed under the direction of
the Chicago health department.
Two Chicago physcians-Dr. Llolph
Gehrmann. director of the city labora-
tory and Dr. w. A. Evans of the Colum-
bus medical laboratory-havee evolved a
plan for this test which uses method
apparently overlooked by other scien-
lists as we'll as by Prof. Koch himself.
This plan is to make the experiment
with skin Observation-Disclosures form
of the disease which is durable and con-
trollable. Just as satisfactory a test,
it is asserted, can be secured by in
noculating the skin of the human being
with the bacillus from the animal as
could be obtained from experiments
with pulmonary tuberculosis. The one
is feasible because it does not endanger
life. Because the other does it Is re-
garded as impracticable.
The method of putting the theory to
the test and establishing as a fact
whether or not, attempts to protect hui
manity from beef tainted with tuber-
culosis is waste of money was
evolved after several suggestions for
experiment with pulmonary tubercu-
| losis had been considered.
