Ella Henneger, who was murdered by
Fred StruDle last Saturday right. was
Luried in the little chlrchyard neal

The funeral was tie largest ever seen
In Mason comfy. The manner of the

Lurial services.
Not single trace has been found OF

sent by the sheriff to every point with.

1t seems improbable that a young
man well known in this county, driv'
ing a span Of horses, could make his
way out OF tie country and escape OBJ
servation.
The spot where the tragedy took
place is but few miles from the Hi
nols river. Those who hold to the
theory of Strubbe's suicide suggest that
he may have driven his team over the
river bank into the water. Acting upon
this suggestion, a party Of the young
mans friends are searching along the
stream for traces Of the buggy and
,eam, but so far nothing 10 confirm
t..is theory has been discoSered.
