FEAR THEIR LOVED ONES ARE
LYING BENEATH THE DEBRIS

pitch of excitement Many think that
the two men were not detectives but "a
pair OF buffers. employed to frighten
Mrs. Cornforth into more peaceful
way of living. The two detectives had
! been stopping at the Sherman house
for week and claimed to be from st.
Paul. a number of insulting, unsigned
letters have been sent through the
mails at Larimore, and some think
that the detectives have been sent out
by the government to trace out the
writed. There are so many conflicting
opinions that it is hard to find out
the circumstances of the strange incl
dent.
Another peculiar feature of the mat
ter is the coarse work of the detectives.
Before going to- the residence of Mr..
Cprpforth the detectives went to the
power house, located in the same
building with the Jail, and left a steel
bar and others tools which some think
were placed there to assist them in
making their escape in case they were
taken to Jail. If the detectives are
caught there is now every indication
that there will be lot of sensational
developments such as will clear up
the now hazy atmosphere.

organization were innocent. Sechoff
then called upon Father Gapon to
declare in the presence of his fellows
whether he, Sechoff, had received a
cent from the government. Father
Gapon exonerated Sechoff, then the
latter said: II will now give you
supreme proof of my honesty" and
