minution of revenues due to the repeal
of war taxes, the reduction of expendi-
lures, and the changes in the compsf-

SENSATION in LOGAN.
Assault and Murder of a Young
Girl Near Homer.
Dead Body of the rlurderer
Found Where lie Had
"COmmitted Suicide"

Miss Zada Wick, a young sixteen
year-old daughter of Mr.. Chas. M.
Wick, farmer residing near
Homer, in Logan county, was muir.
dered Wednesday about noon. She
went alone to a spring in a valley
some distance from the house to get
a bucket of milk for dinner. Not
returning, a search was made and
her dead body was found about
4 o'clock near by, hidden behind a
large stone in a fence corner and
covered with leaves. Her skull
was crushed in with stone lying
not far away. A post-mortem ex-
animation showed that she had
been outraged previous to her MUIR
der. Tracks of the muI derer showed
that he wore heelplates on his
shoes. Bloodhounds were put to
work, but proved of no service.
Hundreds of people continued the
search Thursday arl it soon be-
came known from series of suspl-
cious circumstances that Hugh
Marshall, a white man living a
mile or two away, Of low order of
intelligence, was the probable
murderer. His family was away
from home. His house was found
deserted with a FIRE in the stove,
showing that Marshall had not
been gone long. Thursday and
Friday were days of excitement,
but Friday afternoon one of the
searching parties reported that
they had found the dead body Of
Marshall hanging in a lonely barn
two miles from the scene of the
murder, where he had "suiclded. -
On his feet were found shoes with
the tell-tale heelplates. A Jury was
empaneled and the suicide theory
promptly backed up by a verdicr.
