sylvania railroad to commence work
oh its proposed elevated tracks in Will
mington is February 1st, engineers

SELECTION OF URYIN
DUNLAP CASE SLOW WORK

of Miss iona Dunlap, charged with
poisoning Miss Allie Doo1, resulted in
the selection of four jurors out of 81
men examined. These four are Paul
Rich, of North Henderson, n farmer;
\. y. Hays, of Sherrard, a laborer;
Frank Ogle. of Keithsburg, a retired
farmer, and James Myers, of New
Boston, a laborer. All four of the
jurors accepted are from distant
parts of the county. OF 1872 men orig
inally drawn 73 are left to be eXamin-
ed. Judging from the rapidity with
which the jury list is being exhausted
it will be necessary to bring in ano-
ther large special venire before the
jury can be secured.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE:
300 REWARD rs OFFERED

The disappearance of John Hull
from Marblehead, Ohio, Nov. IA, 1902,
still remains Il mystery. He had been
low spirited for some time and had
expressed Encouragement about his
studies. In much dependency over
failure in recitations, he suddenly left
school and in a few hour disappeared
from the community.
n goodbye note to a school friend
awakened the gravest fears but most
careful inquiry and search make it
more than probable that he recovered
himself and went away. Good clues
were followed in neighboring towns
and cities. but finally lost. He had
but little money and may be working
somewhere or making his way west,
where he has friends.
He is described as nearly IS years of
age, height about feet. 10 inches,
weight about 135 pounds. smooth
face, light complexion, blush eyes,
heavy straight brown hair, promi-
nent eyebrows and features. and in
manner was kind, intelligent and gen
tlemanly. He carried a silver hunting
ease watch and was dressed i'm n
dark striped suit of mixed goods and
wore blue cap, negligee shirt and
celluloid collar.
In character and life he WAS above
reproach and universally loved. No
one finds fault with him and his dis
tresscd parents and hundreds of
friends longin9ly watch and wait for
any tidings OF his whereabouts and
condition. Their one thought is that
of sympathy and desire to help him in
any way possible, and to this end a
reward of Sl00 is offered by his faith
er, Rev. J. II. HUH. for any informa-
ton leading to his discovery.

The trunk contained $50 in cash
with souvenirs and books valued at
$25. 1t also contained a bank book
calling for $500 belonging 10 the own
er of the trunk and one for $50 be-
longing to his brother, Julius Joye.
OF course the bank books are of no
value to the thief The trunk was

found it necessary to break it in or

CORDOVA RESIDENT DIES
SUDDENLY IN IOWA

Milton S. Purdy, whose home was
at Cordova, H., was found dead by
the roadside about six miles south
east of Melville. Iowa. last Sunday.
Purdy was n carpenter by trade, and
an exceptionally good mechanic, too.
He had been employed at his trade in
the northern part of the state of Iowa
the greater part of last summer, but
about two months ago went to Gut
tenberg, where he had since made his
home up to the time of his death.
Last week he took the contract to
move building for a farmer about
six miles from Millville, and after ar
irving at the place found he had not
all the necessary tools to work with
and accordingly started back to
town to get what was lacking.
Having gone about mile and half
from his place of employment, he sat
down to rest, and Il short time later
two boys came down the road and no.
ticed that he did not appear to be
feeling well. They Immediately start
cd back to the nearest farm house
and reported the matter. When the
farmer arrived on the spot he found
Purdy lying on the ground with his
right hand pressed over his heart.
The body was then taken to Millville
and the coroner summoned. An in
quest was held and the verdict rem
dered was to the effect that the I'M
fortunate's death was caused by
heart failure. The body was taken TO
Gutenberg Monday morning and re-
MANNED in Jenkins undertaking rooms
until Tuesday afternoon, when it was
shipped to Cordova for burial. His
mother and other relatives reside
there.

day.

When Henry Joyc, an employee of
the Rock Island Sash & Door works,
who boards at Van Hecke's boarding
house, corner of Twenty-second
street and Fourth avenue, returned
from work last evening he found that
his trunk containing nearly all his
valuables was gone from his room.
An inquiry among the members of
the family elected the fact that the
son of his landlord had seen Il man
walking through the back yard to
the alley just before noon with the
trunk on his shoulder.
The work of the thief was exceed
ingly bold and he evidently was thor
oughly acquainted with the lay of the
land before he ventured after his
plumber. 1t is also more than likely
that he knew what was in the trunk.
No other member of the family saw
him and so far the police have been
unable to uncover anything to show
what direction he took. The descrip-
