SEARCHING FOR
THE MURDERER
BRUTE WHO KILLED DILLON MAN
WILL HAVE TROUBLE IN
ESCAPING.

Helena, Oct. 11.-A portion of the
outfit with which w. J. Oliver of Dill
Ion, was travelling at the time he was
murdered near Wolf creek on the
night of Sept. 20 has been recovered
in Helena, and the officers are follow
ing clue that seems to promise the
apprehension Of the murderer.
For two or three days there have
been reports to Sheriff Peter Schar-
renbroich's office to the effect that
several of the horses mentioned in the
sheriffs' reward circular have been
seen in the vicinity of Helena, and the
officers have been making diligent
search for them. The animals were
first seen in the vicinity of the Kess-
Ter works and the sheriff made trip
to that section, but without result
Last evening he went to Scratch Grav-
ell on the search, but again without
success.
Find the Horses.
This morning, however, the hunt for
the strays ended, for they were found
by William F. Bossler and his son,
Joseph Bossler. Mr.. Bossler late last
night saw three horses feeding in DAY.
is street near Thirteenth avenue, but
was doubtful as to the animals being
the ones for which search was being
made, because of the fact that there
was no colt with them, whereas there
was an unbranded sOrrel colt among
the animals owned by young Oliver.
Early this morning Mr.. BOssler and
his son went to the spot where the
horses had been seen, and found the
animals that had been wanted, sOr-
rel mare and colt. bay gelding and
gray mare. They were turned over
to Sheriff Schrrenbroich. who has mott
fed young divers father of their re-
covery and will hold them for further
orders.
The theory of the sheriff is that the
murderer headed west in his flight,
and that the three horses and colt were
released on Seven Mile, from which
point they made their way to Helena.
Having cast off this much Of the out
fit. the murderer had only platform
spring wagon. drawn by a pair of
large mares and was followed by young
divers stag hound and two shepherd
dogs.
Acting upon this theory. an effort
is being made to pick up the trail of
the murderer to the west of the city.
Deputy Sheriff Joseph Spurzem start
ed out with fast team this morning
and will follow the trail over the
range so long as there is the slight
est clew 1t is believed that at some
point on the route the hunt will bring
the officer to the house OF some per.
son who has seen the fleeing French
man and his outfit. If the man held
onto the wagon and horses for sew
eral days. there should be little diff
ficulty in picking up and Following
the trail but the fear is that ne grew
fearful of the result II he kept 10 the
travelled roads and abandoneu OF sold
the outfit and resorted to the railroad
in order to get out of the country in
which latter event the difficulties con
fronting the pursuers would DE ma
terially increased
The recovery of the three norses
and colt made it advisable FOR the
sheriff to change the reward circulars
sent out, as the original nOtices nlish

psychology.
The important point is that. alto
gether apart from the speculations into
which it ultimately led him, Mr. Ny
ers' conception of the "subliminal
SELF furnished an excellent working
hypothesis for explaining on a natur-
alistic basis facts which it was I'M
possible to ignore. AS elaborated by
some of his colleagues and by certain
investigators not identified with the
Society for Psychical Research, the
'telepathists' soon seemed likely to
secure complete victory over the
"spiritists." That they did not do so
may fairly be attributed in chief part
to the rise of two new mediums"

Letter From Rev. Edwards.

Saltwater, Okla, Jan. 5, 1905.
To readers of THE RBPoRTRR:-I am
now in the territory Of Oklahoma the
first time in my life. am not a land
agent neither am paid by any agent to
write in behalf of Oklahoma lands, but
write only to state facts SO far as l
understand them. l am near Saltwater,
this city Of about $500 population. 1t
is the county seat of Payne county, has
both water and electric light plant, also
a fine Touring mill with an ice plant and
three cotton gins. A branch of the. A. T..
q Santa Fe r. r. comes through from
the main line at Kowton to Oklahoma
City. Tho city is we'll furnished with
regard to schools, having three wards
with good public school buildings which
seem to be under good management.
There is also an Agricultural college
here with four large buildings, well son-
sstsactsd Mith brick and stone material
with good heating plant sufficient for all
the buildings. This property / would
suppose would cost from 100000 to
$150,000. 1t was constructed both by
school appropriation from the govern
ment and school land set apart by the
territory.
There is fine registered stock here
including horses, cattle, sheep and hogs,
oil n nian cn11nofinp Of hnp tt 1fr,r
stock including trees, vines, plants and
a beautiful greenhouse all under wise
and judicious management. This college
gives quite broad and impressive in
fluence to the city and surrounding
country. 1t will have quite an effect in
giving shape and influence to the future
of the city. The business interests of
the county seem to be fairly well repre-
sented, even the saloon, the DEVILS re-
ceiving station, is here to share in the
spoils of the wrecked and ruined. There
are, j believe 10 churches here. Almost
all the leading denominations repre-
sented here. The people have come
from almost all parts of the country.
From the yankee Of New England to the
red skins of the forest and the colored
people of Africa.
The soil here is strange mix ture of
substances, some places it looks red al
most like brick dust, in other places
gray or like chocolate. The strongest
land is found on the bottom lands on the
streams which overflow occasionally.
Tho principal cereal products here
seems to be wheat, and cotton. The
wheat is not looking we'll this winter on
accounts of dry weather. The cotton
crop was good but a drop in prices from
3scts to cts has caused stagnation in
the market just now, which will require
a reaction to bring activity in the
market again. The weather is nice
here now but it was windy and blustry
ut the time of the storm in Iowa and
places. More anon,
REV. +. EDWARDS.
