Man Held Near Eau Claire May Be the
Murderer of Sheriff Harris
Search Continued

Eau Claire, Wis, June 21.-The excit-
ing man hunt for the murder of Sheriff
Harry O. Harris, killed on a North
Western passenger train Saturday night
near Fall Creek, has been pushed vigor-
ously ever since. 1t is possible that the
man wanted is under arrest at Altoona,
a small place three miles east of here.
Gov La Toilette has offered a reward
Of $500 in behalf of the state for the muir
derer st. Croix county has offered 5000.
Co. G. OF Hudson and posses of men
from other localities have been securing
the country in and about Fall Creek, Au-
gusta and other parts of Eau Claire coun-
ty, near the scene of the murder, but
without results.
Dennis Deneen of Hammond, chair
man Of the Democratic county committee,
was in the city and sent request to Gov.
La Toilette that successor be named to
him who would be favorable to the widow
and her family. Possibly this would mean
the choice of one of the deputies to fill
out the term ending January 1, 1905.

chased him to the Kimberly q Clark
office, where he protected himself by
harracadlng the doors. The mob was
later dispersed by the police. All saloons
have been closed by order of the mayor,
but people are thronging the streets, ex
