LATEST CLUE FAILS
To Bring to Light Any New Evil
dence in the Wendt Muir
der Mystery.
STILES BROTHERS MODEL PRISONERS
They Have Six Attorneys Re-
tanned to Conduct Their
Defense.

With every investigation of sup
posed clues in the Wendt murder case
the mystery surrounding the affair
grows deeper. The latest report
which has been traced down and
found to have been founded upon air
is that concerning evidence which. it
was claimed, had been discovered i'm
plicating a certain Princeton young
man. All of the dozen or more of the
same kind of clues followed out have
pau ned out in the same manner.
The four Stiles brothers held in the
county all under suspicion of having
committed the awful deed are aPpar-
emily not greatly concerned over the
matter. They spend their time as
other prisoners do. reading and other
wise amusing themselves They are
all possessed of some skill as must
clans, the violin being the instrument
with which thew spend fair portion
of their time. They are well behaved
and give their caPtors no trouble
whatever.
Array of Legal Talent.
The main evidence that the prison
ers are at all wrought mp over the
charge thai hangs above them lies in
the forehandedness they have mani
tested in securing legal assistance
before they are sure there will be any
ne ed for it. Although they are held
alone on the verdict of the coroner's
Jury, and there is q possibility that
the grand Jury will not return an in
dictment against them, there are six
attorneys already employed on the
defense. They are LudolPh q Rey-
nolds. of this city, the three Carroll
brothers, of Davenport. and lawyer
named Greathonse from their native
county. Calhoun.
Good Word From NeIGhbors.
Another thing upon which they ex-
pect to rely for some assistance. in
creating a favorable sentiment at
least. is petition signed by hun
dred or more of the friends and neigh
bors of the Stiles at home, testifying
to their good reputation aud an
nouncjng faith in the brothers limo
ceuce. This document has been in
the possession of the brothers for
several weeks. but knowledge OF it's
existence has been slow about coming
to the surface.

BETTER RIVER LIGHT.
Movement Among Mississippi
Pilots For Improvement,
of Service.
PETITION TO BE SENT TO CONGRESS
Ask Transfer to the United States
Engineers Depart
ment.

A petition has been prepared to be
presented to the senate and house of
representatives by the marine organ
izations of the Mississippi and other
rivers, suggesting changes in toe
river improvement service on the
Mississippi river. A copy of the pc
tition has been sent to a congress
man, who will be asked to champion
the measure, and other copies will be
sent to other members of congress. 1t
is not to BE- signed by individuals. but
it is being prepared by some of the
best kno ~n river pil0ts and masters
operating on the Mississippi, and will
be promulgated in the name of the
marine organizatiO
The chief measure urged is that of
concentrating the appropriations al
lowed for river Improvements, and the
passage of an act transferring the
lighthouse service on the Missis-
sipi river to the United States engin-
GERS department. thus saving to the
government the expense of maintain
ing the lighthouse service. The petit
TONERS claim that the beacon light
service could be greatly improved by
p acing it in charge of the engineers
department. They proceed to show
that bnt two boats are used
in patrolling the Mississippi river
from St. Paul to the gulf,
and, in addition. these boats are re-
qaired 10 patti oil the Illinois and part
of the Red river; therefore they can
not make the trips as often as the
changing channel requires the lights
to be moved. They show that the
river is patrolled almost constantly by
the engineers department., which has
done good service in the past two
gears in ''buoying out" the channels
in difficult places, and would, in addi-
ton, remove the lights when neces-
sary, if allowed to touch them.
Would Render Better Service.
Under this plan, the petitioners
claim. better service could be rem
dered at less expense to the govern
ment. They state, in addition. that
the problem CT improvement of the
Mississippi river has been solved, and
all that is lacking is The necessary
funds to carry on the work. They
show that congress has precedent in
the transfer OF the weather bureau
from the war TO the agricultural de-
partment.
