Some Sailguinary. Theories.


5 What could have become Of Sher-
lin and McAllister is a puzzle. The
police feel confident that the two, men
were on the train when Dare was
killed. If they were killed and fell
from TIL lneving train, their bodies
would have been found by the railroad
men who searched the tracks yester-
day There are only two other ways
Of explaining their disappearance.
Either they were seriously wounded
and, falling from the train, crawled
into the woods, Or they were killed by
the robbers and their bodies remained
in the car which was loaded with APP
pies and was transferred to another
road without the icebox being opened.
Detective Nick Smith advances the
last theory and has asked the railway
officials to trace the car and learn
If the bodies can be found. In the
meantime the right of way will be
searched for the bodies. ~
The remains Of Dare will be shipped
| to Walkedton, Ind, tonight, accom-
panied by Cronk. The news of his
murder came as a dreadful shock to
| his invalid mother and it is said thai
she is in a serious condition.

The Mystery Surrounding Leonard
Dare's Murder Intensified BY
To-day's Revelations.
Dare's Cousin Says He Had Two
Companions and Both
Are Missing.
Police Fear Their Bodies Were
Carried On in the Re-

Mystery surrounding the murder of
Leonard e. Dare, the harvest hand
Shot on, a Northern Pacific freight
train near North Town Junction
when his cousin, Albert Cronk, Of
Walkerton, Ind, arrived. Cronk told
the officers that Dare was with Pat
Sherlin of Walkerton, Ind, and young
man named McAllister. The three
are supposed to have started home
from North, Dakota together and it is
thought that Sherlin and McAllister
were murdered by the holdup men and
their bodies disposed of.
Frank Bennett, Edward Mcfarland
and G.. g. Burcham, who were on the
train coming from North Dakota, were
given a description Of Sherlin and Nc
Allister. All remember Sherlin. They
say that Sherlin and Dare were to-
gether in lunch room at Staples and
Cloud. They do not remember Nc
Allister, but Sol and Chris Erickson,
two other stowaways, gave the police
a description Of Dare's partner yester-
day. They said he was older and
much larger than Dare and was dark
complexioned. This corresponds to
said to be about "a years old, s feet 10
inches tall and weighs about ITO. ,
4: The Three We're Pals.
sCronk says that the three boys have
been together nearly all their lives at
5Walkerton and that, a year ago the
three went to North Dakota together.
They made good money and this year
determined to return to the harvest
field. They left home late in July
and went directly to Cooperstown, N
d., where Dare and McAlIister secured
work on the South Cooper ranch, four
miles from town, and Sherlin found
work on an adjoining farm. The
three were together last week and a
letter written to their people at Walk
erton explained that they were work
ing hard, but We're getting $2.50 a day
and board. They did not speak of re-
turning home, but the recent rains
have driven many harvest hands from
Dakota and it is thought they started

The senatorial candidates are more
fortunate. Almost invariably they
attract good audiences. Governor Lon
gino is especially well pleased with
large crowds that greet him and the
enthusiasm displayed. Senator Money
has made but few speeches during
the past ten days.
The candidates of the minor offices
continue to trail along in the wake of
the larger satellites, and their cam
paigns are more on the handshaking
order, with but little indulgence in
speeches.
The aspirant for high honors who
can devise some means of getting rid
of the cut worms in the delta or who
can carry bounteous rainfalls in his
path will be assured of election, but
until material troubles and worries
are disposed of the masses cannot be

fear is prevalent that the second pri-
mary Will be between Critz and Noel.
They are sure that Critz will lead in
the first primary, but would prefer to
have the second race run with Var
daman.
In the Vardaman camp feeling of
absolute confidence prevails that he
will be an easy winner, and some
claim that he will defeat both of his
opponents in the first primary.
Any how, we can't elect but one of
them. !" was the consoling remark
made by an old farmer the other day

subject of making his choice between
the three candidates. Absolute un-

committee was appointed to confer
with the officials of the Illinois Cen.
trail road on the subject of branch
line from Dockery to Indianola via
Flaosnia, and to run from Indianola
down to Woodburn. The length of
the proposed road is twenty EIGHT
miles and, if built, will traverse one
of the richest and most highly culti-
waited sections of agricultural lands in
the world. 1t is believed that the
railroad officials will be favorably in
clined to the scheme.
Indianola is rapidly pushing to the
front in an industrial way. A cotton
compress, new oil mill, and number
of lesser enterprises are being built,
and the new railroad would un-
doubtedly be given liberal support.

SLIGHT REVIVAL OF INTEREST
In INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Many Voters Have Not Yet Made Up Their
Minds and to These the Candidates Are
Devoting Their Attention Sena-
torial Aspirants Attracting
Good Audiences

jackson, June S.-A slight revival
of interest is being shown in the
gubernatorial campaign, in contrast
to the marked apathy prevalent during
the two weeks in May, and the active
supporters of the three candidates. are
energetically engaged in the endeavor
to quicken enthusiasm among those
who apparently don't care how the
fight viii result.
There are thousands of voters in
the state who have not yet made up
their minds how to cast their ballots in
August, and it is to this class that
the three candidates are devoting their
attention. Illustrative of the apathy
of the decided lack of enthusiasm, a
vresifier of some local repute has
perpetrated bit of doggeral conclud
ing with the following lines:
Whether it will be the Noel bald,
Or Critz so fair,
Or Greenwood jim with his wav-
ing nalr,
I'll be Id if l know or care. -
- This sentiment finds more respon-
sive echo than one would believe
who is not familiar with the voting
element more than the chances of the
politicians, aud until it becomes ap-
parent what the seasons prospects will
be the public mind cannot be conclu-
sively diverted to politics.
The political prophets say that Noel
is the coming man, and that he has
made more than any other candidate;
that he is entitled to consideration as
an entry in the second primary.

jackson, June S.-The truck farm
ing season in Mississippi is having an
end in diametric opposition to its be-
ginning. During the early weeks
season the prospects were very
gloomy for the truck farmres at
Crystal Springs, Gallman, Magnolia,
Ridgeland and other places, but it
now seems that the outcome will be
promising and inspiring. The
prices paid for products have been in
excess of the expectation of the truck
farmers and nearly all shipments TO
distant markets have reached their
destination in good shape.

But It Led Straight to a
 FieRdiSh Murderer
WAS VERY QUICK WORK
New York Police Capture by the And
 of a Purchase Check Issued From Another City the PerpetratOr of an
 Atrocious Crime on Saturday Night.

New York, December 21.- By the arrest today of Emil Totter- man. a Swedish tailor, the police be- lieve they have cleared up the mystery of the murder of Sarah Martin, whose mutilated bcdy was found yesterday afternoon in Kelly's hotel a low sail ors' resort on the East river front.
 The arrest. which was made in the Sailors Union headque rters, following information received from detectives who were sent to Bridgeport, Conn.,. to follow a clue furnished by a purchase check of Meigs (; Company. If Bridge port, for pair of shoes and a sweater, which was left in the room in which the crime was committed. On the wrapper of a parcel left in the room by the murderer, was written in pencil. the name ot Fred C. Belano." and underneath the name "E. Totterman." 2"
 The detectives reported from Bridge port that the schooner Fred C. Belano was lying at that poll and that d sailor named Totterman had been discharged from her on Saturday. They also ob- tained a good description of the man who on Saturday purchased the shoes and sweater from Meigs & Company. Furnished with this description, the detectives in this case picked out Tot terman from among a crowd of seamen at the Sailors Union. When searched there was found on him a sailors knife the blade of which appeared to bear blood stains.
 At police headquarters the prisoner was fully identified by James Kelly the proprietor of the hotel, his wife and other persons. as the man who. or Saturday night. accompanied the wo- man to the room in which her body was found. TCtterman declared that he had never been at the hotel, although he admitted that he had come from Bridge 1 port on Saturday.

THE DREYfUS CASE
Will be a Meeting of ReviS-
 ion Committee Tomorrow
It is Predicted That a Report Favor able to the Prisoner of Devils Island Will be Adopted.

Paris, Dec. 21.-It has been learned by the Associated Press that at a meeting of the Dreyfus commission next Wed-t nesday, Victor Mercer, reporter for the commission and one of the directors of the ministry of justice will submit a report recommending a revision of the case of Captain Dreyfus. It is not yet positively known whether Mercer's re port will recommend revision by the court of cessation or by the court mar tial, but there is every reason to believe that the court of cassation will now re- considr the case in the light of the facts gathered by Mercer, at the same time passing upon the other documents submitted.
 While it is impossible at this stage to predict what view will be taken by the commission it is expected that it will adopt at least by a majority Mefcer's recommendations. If the re- vicion of the case should be favorable to Dreyfus. he will be restored to the army no matter what protests may be made. but it is not expected that he will assume active service.
 MT. Mercer's report, it is believed, not only establishes that Dreyfus is in nocent Of writing the bordereau, but dwells with emphasis on the modified ton by Gribelin, keeper of the war office records, of his testimony before the council at Rennes
 Cfribelin then swore that Dreyfus was guilty, while the modification of his testimony now indicates that the alleg- ed treason was committee by Capt. Henry, who was at that time head of the intelligence department of the min istry of war.

PICKETING THE DEAD
May NOt Assemble About
 Houses of Mourning
Order From Chicago Police Depart ment to Enforce DeCency in the Per- formance of the Last Rites.

Chicago, Dec 21-PicketinS of hous- es from which funerals are to start, whether peaceful Or violent by union livery drivers, who went or strike a few days ago, and which has seriously interferred with the burial of the dead in Chicago, is to be prevented by the police under direct orders issued to- night by Chief O'Neil
 J. F. Wadsworth. secretary, and Charles Stevens, business agent of the LiVerymen's union. were summoned before Chief O'Neil tonight and told in decidedly plain language that any differences the union might have are to be settled away from the houses of mourning.
 Chief O'Neil tonight issued a general order to all inspectors of police. He instructed the commanding officers to accompany funerals in carriages. ii circumstances seem to require it, 70 see that the last rites of the dead were in no way interferred with.
 While the courts have inclined to permit peaceful picketing, Chief O'Neils order tends to prohibit picket ing of any kind around houses oi mourning. He declared tonight that in his opinion no court would be found which would fail to sustain an act il. such evident necessity and propriety as that contemplated by the police de- pertinent. On top of Chief O'Neil's or der came an announcement tonight that peace plans looking to a settle ment Of the strike had been launched Through the efforts of the Chicago | board of arbitration. which was largely ] instrumental in the settlement of tht { laundry strike last summer a commit ! tee of four was appointed at a meeting . of the four liVerymen and undertak- ling associations to- meet a commit.
