The funeral will be attended by all
of the policemen of the city with the
exception OF few held on reserve
at the station and on the crossings.
Six officers will act as pallbearers
and members of the fire department
and city officials will attend.
AS yet no clew to the identity of
the burglars and assassin has been
discovered by the police, although
every effort is .being made to run
down the murderous band.
The detectives are handicapped
through not possessing any descript-
ion or other clew to the burglars.
All that the dead officer could tell,
in his ante-mortem statement, was
the gang. each apparently well dress

The dramatic feature Of the identi-
fication of her picture by Captain
Coverly and Detective McPhee today
is the fact that the chief witness
against her here was the murdered
policeman, Heny Stotko..
Stotko lived next to the Antrim
house and was persistent in working
up the case which proved Mrs. An
trim to be guilty of arson and
swindling, he having established the
fact that there were no valuable furs
in the house.
Prosecuting Attorney Barnhart will

A LEADER

Colonel Ed" Sanders is not chair
man of the republican city central
committee any more. The colonel
resigned last night.
When the hungry faithful ascer-
tanned beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the hoops would remain on the
tightly closed Sanders barrel they
started a campaign against the chair
man and were able to show that
Sanders was using the central COM
mittee to further his own candidacy
for mayor.
This was sufficiently strong to
warrant the resignation of the mayor
atty candidate as chairman and the
faithful are gleefully telling what
the lack of the $3.50 contribution
to the campaign fund did for Colonel
Ed"
A meeting of the central committee
will be held tonight when an effort
will be made to elect Alonzo Muir

believed that being branded thus pub

not. Then she relapsed and was
again arrested. When released, she
stole at the first opportunity. A few
days ago she was again crested,
came before the court and pleaded
guilty The court suspended sentence
and is now trying to devise some
permanent cure.

Mr. Avery is known as a close

One man told the police a day late
that four men had been stopping at
cabin west of the city and the
police rushed there to find no one.
Another wild tip was that three men,
with guns strapped to them, were
loafing about the st. Joseph Orphan
age. The men were rounded up but
had no guns.
Chief-ofPolice Waller is sparing
no pains to prosecute the search for
the murderous gang and is busy now
arranging to increase the money offer
ed as reward to sum which will
make it profitable to some one to
betray the burglars.
In addition to the $500 reward of
fered by Acting Mayor Boyd. Chief
Waller will ask the county commits
sioners tomorrow to offer $500 for the
arrest and conviction of the murder
ers.
The chief believes he can raise $500
by subscription among the business
men of the city and he will also ask
Governor Mead to add $500 to the
reward on behalf of the state.
This will make $4,000 reward money
and will spur the officers of other
cities to work on the case.
No hope is entertained of catching
the men In Spokane and the only
chance left is for the police of other
cities to strike the trail.
