,ecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Keokuk, Feb. 2s.-The officers de-
tailed on the case of William Mulliken,
details of whose mysterious assassina-
ton have been previously given, deduce
from the facts at hand the following
theory: They believe that Mulliken
was killed by bullet from 32-caliber
rifle. The man who fired the deadly
shot stood at the outer edge of Multi
ken's porch. rested one foot upon the
porch floor. took deliberate and careful
aim at the back of Mulliken's head as
he. sat quietly in his home, and sped
the bullet on its fatal errand. The man
was close to the window. The bullet
was sped with greater force than is
likely to be developed from a revolver.
as the clean cut hole In the glass and
the penetration into the brain of the
dead man show. There was no crash,
such as revolver makes. Hulliken's
Wife, in the same room with her hus-
band, did not know that he had been
murdered; the good Workmanship de-
notes the use of rife also. as the ball
crashed into the lower part of the skull
in the precise spot to cause instant
death.
The size of the bullet makes 1t a 81
caliber. The same cartrides are used in
revolvers and rifles of 32-caliber. and
the rifle of that size is as common. or
more SO, as the pistol of that caliber.
Everything 50 far points to a DELHI
erately planned, cold FLOODED assassin
alton. The tracks of the murderer have
been covered with great skill and fore
thought. The mystery is as deep as
ever and no real hope of the apprehen-
sion of the assassin may yet be held out
Mulliken's relations with all his neigh
bors We're the best possible. His family
relations were pleasant and the search
for the motive which prompted his taxi
ing off will be a hard one.

was a young girl she was captured by
the Indians and kept by them for some

hope that she will be granted PEN

FROM BOONE 10 AMEs.
Boone Company May Build an Electric
Line to Neishborins Town.


Special to Times Republican.
Boone, Feb. 2S.-How would an cleo
trio line from Boone to Ames suit the
people of Boone This is the latest talk
In this city and from appearances the
line will be built and will be in running
order in two years. While nothing Off
cial can be given yet the rumor which
is considered reliable says that the
Boone Street Railway Company Will
construct the line from Boone to Ames
as soon as possible.
The first time that the talk of this
road was heard on the streets was on
Wednesday but it was only taken as a
rumor. But on Thursday it seemed that
there was something in the story that
the road would be started this coming
summer and that work would be pushed
as rapidly as possible on the new line.
This would be great thing for Boone
and would convenience the people who
go to college at Ames. 1t would also
be of the greatest advantage to the
merchants of this city, as it would tend
to bring trade to Boone that might go
elsewhere

had three men in the police court, all
charged with drunkenness. Two of them
held up two men on the railway
tracks, near Fifteenthi street, while on
their return from work. The robbers
searched the men, threatening to make
it hot for them If they gave an alarm
They did not secure much, however
two jackknives and few cents in
change, but they would have taken all
the men had If there was anything more
TO take. The officers at police head
quarters We're notified, and. having a
description of the men, went down to
the scene of the robbery and arrested
two men, who proved to be the right
ones. Strange as it may appea:, the
men who We're held up did not appear
against the prisoners in the police
court, and they We're sent to Jail for
thirty days each on charge of drunk
.enness. 1t is believed that the working
men did not have time to attend the

The trouble was not so much that the
sausage, which was home made, was in

not cooked sufficiently to kill the larvae
and thus prevent their development and
multiplication. It was Just about a week
ago that the sausage was eaten, and the
six members Of the family rendered i'll.

T IKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip

Most people know this already.

Peruna eradicates every vestige of the

"After giving Peruna fair trial can
