| further investigation of the prem
ises adjoining the sanitarium on the
south has revealed more footprints ap-
parently made by the same man whose
footprints were found at the Semple
place. At the E. G. Weber home, and
the M. Bement home, which are next
south of the sanitarium, the footprints
showed that the man had approached
the windows and looked in.
Mr.. Bement was at the elevator fire
the night of the Job affair, and did
not come home till about midnight
He saw man prowling around the
sanitarium, but did not get a close
enough view of him to know how he
looked 1t was a very dark night and
the street lights were knocked out by
the storm
The Webers were also disturbed
earlier in the evening by somebody
prowling around their house.
1t appears from this new evidence
that the man who assaulted Mrs. Job
had been circulating around in that
ably been about town to some extent.
The CongdOn house where the Slicker
was stolen is in the east part of town !;
the Semple sanitarium is in the west
part
Doctors who are attending Mrs. Caro-
line Job, are astonished at the vitality
shown by the. aged woman, but they are
expecting a change for the worse with
in the next a or 4S hours.
So far Mrs. Job has retained con-
sciousness, and has not had much fe-
Yer. She is cheerful and determined to
DR.. A. Haggart, coroner of Franklin
county, who was the first doctor to ar
rive on the scene, said today:
I anticipate that Mrs Job will not
be able to pull through. She has a
chance. but il is a small one. When
she begins to fail, her temperature will
go up, and she will become unconscious
So far she has been sustained by her
nerve.
when DR.. Wright and myself exam
ined the wound, we found it to be about
the size and shape would be made
by the head of an axe. At the front of
the wound, the skull was depressed into
the brain about an inch and a half L
removed a small piece of bone from the
deepest part of the wound, put my ele-
vators under the depressed portion of
the skull, and raised 1t to its normal
position. We then packed the wound
with gauze. The skull was crushed
down around the circumference of the
wound, and there was also a longitude
nal fracture through the center of the
wound
DR. Haggart is a. former Topeka man,
and his parents still live in this city. He
was educated at the Kansas Medical
college, and then served for some time
on the Santa Fe medical staff.
DR. Wright, who was also called in
the case, is rather more hopeful about
the outcome of the affair. fSome times
1 believe that the woman will get we'll:
other times I think she is likely to give
way. I believe she has a good chance
TO recover. She seems cheerful and con-
fident that she will get well. A few days
will tell the story
Hunting for the Man.
It is believed by the officers that
they are on the track of the Hebrew
degenerate who is suspected of know
ing something about the crime. Addi-
tional Information as to his where
abouts was received yesterday by the
officers. and Sheriff Cody is working
energeticaIIy to locate the man.
The Hebrew is sort of a specialist
in cranky ideas; he dabbles in an
archy, spirituaIism, free love. and a
good many other systems which are
not exactly orthodox. There are Ger
tain people who are interested in his
