Montour Developments.

HSpeClal TO I1neS- -RepuDuCan.
Montour, April 15.-Further develop
ments in the case of the Indian girl.
Ma-Sha-Che, whose dead body was
found near here yesterday, are as fol-
lows:
DR.. William Corns, of this place, was
summoned td where the body lay, to
hold post mortem examination. He
removed the scalp and found several
blood elots at different places on the
head, showing that the girl had been
dealt number of severe blows, and
the bone at the base of the skull was
crushed. A severe blow on that part
of the head would have caused death
and would have caused also the excess
sive bleeding from the mouth, nose,
and eyes, which was apparent, because
of the dry blood clots found on the face
of the corpse.
A jury was impaneled consisting Of
Messrs Cory, the Indian farmer; NAH
lin, the Indian agent, and Guernsey,
a Tama lawyer. They examined the
body, the lay of the ground. and decided
on further meeting, which will be
held some time today, at Tama, when
all the evidence possible from all avail
able sources will be gathered and the
bland fixed if possible.
The corpse was turned over to the
Indians who had gathered around and
near the body in large numbers. Many
of them We're perfectly silent, Others
exhibited signs of emotion, but they
talked but very little about the mat
ter.
Other theories are afloat today as to
how the girl came to her death, soma
thinking that perhaps she was murder
ed by tramps along the railroad and
the body carried to where it lay.

Sun Spots Are Bio Rinqs.

Philadelphia, Pa. April 15.-ProA
fessor Monroe B. Snyder has enuncio
ated 6. new theory of solar spots. HE
said that the solar spots are immense
vortex rings with motion downward
at the inner rim and upward at the
outer. These vortices are not neees<
sarily generated in the depths Of tho
photosphere, but above it. But ALL
spots sink toward and become involvs
ed in the photosphere and are finally
destroyed by it. The radio active outo
bursts in the neigborhood of the spotl
provide the materials whose suddes
cooling and downward precipitation
produce the spots.

Talna, April 15.-Deputy United
States Marshal Healy arrived from
Cedar Rapids today to take charge Of
the investigation of the murder Of the
Indian girl Ma Sha-Che, whose dead
body was found in ravine on a farm
near Montour Friday. An autopsy held
on the remains last evening confirmed
the fact of murder. The girls skull
was fractured at the base and blood
clots, probably the result OF the blows
on the side of the head were found on
the brain. DR.. Corns, of Montour, who
performed the autopsy, said the
wounds would also account for the
profuse bleeding at the mouth. The
inquest is proceeding this afternoon
and an effort will be made to shed fur
ther light on the crime. George Sol
dier, who was the last person seen
with the girl while she was alive, has
not yet been arrested, but is under sur
veillance. His arrest will depend
somewhat upon the developments at
the inquest.
There has been some controversy
among the Indians as to who is the
rightful chief, faction opposing the
claims of Push Ton Qua. For this
reason an effort is being made to con-
meet the crime with plot to get rid of
might lay claim to the chieftainship
~ TJyl.
mystery of the murder of John Sepo
a year ago and the unaccountable
death of one of the women Of the
tribe some time ago, gives color to the
theory that some sort of conspiracy
exists. The Indians are very reticent,
but there is an undercurrent of excite
ment noticeable beneath their stoical
countenances. 1t is claimed the au-
thorities have some tangible clues, but
their nature is not made public.
At the inquest this afternoon Mar
shall Healy excluded all reporters and
the public from the hearing. S. C. HUI
ber of this place was present as guar
dian of the murdered girl. Frank and
Jim Balicheck We're two of the wit
nesses before the coroners jury and it
is learned they testified that they saw
George Soldier, and Ma Sha-Che pass
their place on the road a mile east Of
Potter and about a mile from the scene
of the crime on the evening the mur-
der is supposed to have been commit
ted. The inquest will probably ba
completed tonight. 1t is practically
certain that a verdict of murder by an
unknown person will be returned.
George Soldier has been arrested and
held pending further developments.
