MATHESoN LOCATED AGAIN
Latest Place where Man Resembling
Fugitive IL Seen IL sixty
E3i!es East.

A report was current at a late hour last
night that George Matheson. who shot
Deputy Sheriff Baker, had been located
sixty miles east of Council Bluffs. Deputy
Sheriff Knox returned yesterday morning
from Monona county, having been forced
to abandon the pursuit Of the suspect
Thought 10 be Nstheson. ewing ts the
heavy rains having raised the rivers and
creeks out OF their banks. After following
the trail all Tuesday Deputy Knox failed
to catch up with the covered wagon sup
posed to contain the fugitive.
Word was received yesterday morning at
the sheriff's Office that a young man an
swering the description Of Matheson had
been seen at the home Of Eli Jones near
Underwood. AS Jones is a near relative
of the fugitive, there were strong hopes
that the clew might result In something
and Deputy Sheriff Groneweg FASTENED to
Underwood. Jones said he had not seen
young Matheson for two or three years,
although he was an uncle Of the young man
and that under no circumstances would
he harbor him.
Deputy Sheriff Bak took a change for
the worse last evening and his fever In
creased. He had been getting along nicely
but the arrival Of a sister Is thought to
lave excited him and caused a rise In his
temperature.
