NEGRO RELEASED
FELLOW HELD ON SUSPICION

AUTHORITIES TODAY

The burly negro arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Watson several days ago and
who was at first thought to be the ne.
gro murderer Of Policeman Bruce Pat

was released this morning, but first
he underwent thorough examination
by Watson.
A further and more complete de-

on the body of the man at the time
he was incarcerated in. the Mounds

toned, but two scars that were in
the circular, were found.
These were on the right hand and
the right wrist and tailed exactly
with the description. The others
might have disappeared as the de.
scriptlon was taken in 1892, but as
some Of the marks were birth-marks,
the changes are that the county off:

him as the general opinion is that he
is not the man.

IS IT POSSIBLE?
TWO MURDERS ARE SAID TO HAVE,
BEEN COMMITTED RECENTLY
AT POWELL, THIS COUNTY.

Marion will positively have to install
a county detective bureau or lawless,
ness will not only continue but will
assume huge proportions. Saturday
county authorities were informed that
two foul murders had been committed
and with all this no prosecution can
be made and in fact no investigations
are expected.
An American at Powell told proE.
inent county official that he was rea-
sonably certain that two murders had
occurred at Powell in the past six
weeks, but he had not time nor incl.
nation to confirm his suspicious.
One killing he asserted. was well
known among the inhabitants Of the
smt Il mining village. His story, is to
the effect that in a slavish shanty a
few weeks,ago a row occurred and the
termination was that one Of the partI-
cipants in the quarrel was hit on the
head with some weapon and that death
was almost instantaneous.
The question then was as to what
disposition could be made Of the body.
Finally 1t was decided to throw it in a
coke oven and this, the informant
claims, was done.
In another fight a foreigner was kill.
cd and his body thrown into the river
Ills also was alleged to be true and
to have occurred in the same week as
the aforementioned happening, but
nothing vas reported at the time.
Probably there is nothing in the world
to Justify the rumors and some Of the
officials cling to that theory, but still
there is room for an investigation and
"a letectiy, bureau would fill this want.

HEADACHE SICK

WHO IS SAID TO HAVE DONE
WRONG.

F. NJ. staley, a colored resident Of
this city, came into Squire Amos Of.
fee this morning and desired informa,
ton on two questions. First he stat
ed his troubles. Ia
He soaked a watch to the dago bar.
porter at the Marion and the tneasley
pup had gone and sold the ticker to
a man for 5000. He told that the
watch was worth at least $500 and
wanted to know how he could obtain
satisfaction.
He got but little satisfaction on this
subject and then wanted to find out
how much It would cost him to go
down and take a punch at Mr.. Dago.
A reasonable figure and warning
not to do SO was given him but at
last accounts he had started no bat.
tie. He knew about the famous
headache" stick at the Marion and
this is thought to have had something
to do with his determination to remain
peaceable.

COOLEY GETS PITCHER
Nelson, of Des AIoines, slgned-zear-
foss May Return.

The White Sox have completed negoti-
ations that have been pending for some
time and have signed Nelson, a pitcher,
who has been with Des Moines this sea-
son. Nelson is a big fellow with lots
of steam and a good assortment of
curves. and in addition uses his head to
good advantage. He is right handler
and has done good work with Des
Moines but Des Moines has four other
pitchers who are doing good work and
as they have a good lead over ali the
other teams in the Western League
they decided to cut down their staff of
twirlers Cooley saw him work in the
games which the White Sox played at
Des Moines and is confident of his abil-
ity to win games IN this league. He will
Join the team at Wichita next Monday
and take his turn in the box during the
series with the Jobbers. It is probable
that one Of the other pitchers win be re-
leased at Wichita.
Negotiations are on with Zearfoss and
It is expected that he will join the team
ON their trip around the southern por-
ton of the association. With his addi-
ton and the coming of Nelson, Cooley
thinks he will have a battery that is
better than any other in this league.
Graves who IS still laid up with sore
ankle will leave for his home in Nebras-
ka today and stay until his lameness Is
entirely gone He expects to join the
team again on its return to Topeka,
July 10.
