IS STILL A MYSTERY.
pe.th Of Mrs. Peter Helm Believed "a
Have Been Case Of Murder.

Death Of Mrs. Peter Helm Believed to
Have Boon . Case Of Murder
Special to Times Republican.
Harlan, Aug. T.. The mystery sur
rounding the death of Mrs. Peter Helm
Of Cass township is apparently as deep
as ever. Coroner Cook and his assist
ants In the case are positive that It
was not a case Of suicide and while
they are not talking much they admit
that they believe murder has been
committed, but they are not yet ready
to name the guilty party.
1t is reported that there is consider
able gossip in the vicinity Of the Helm
home that indicates a belief that the
perpetrator of most dastardly and
wei planned crime was present during
the entire investigation, but there is
not sufficient evidence II this to war
rant an arrest or holding anyone on
suspicion.
Feeling, however is running high in
the community and fund is being
raised to be offered as reward for
the arrest and conviction Of the gull
ty party. The board of supervisors will
probably be asked ito make an appro-
priation to swell this fund. There is a
strong determination to have the en-
tire matter probed and the guilty par
ty brought to Justice. Sensational
developments may be expected at any
time.
