Z. J. Anderson, a farmer, aged about

the operation performed in January
last that made it a steer. that it had
running sore, and in this condition
the owner butchered it June %, and
sold 1t to John Sheets owner of the
meat market of Mt. Sterling, who in
turn sold it to his customers. The
hearing came off before Esquire Giles
Petit i'll Mt. Sterling last Thursday
and was attended by large number
of residents of that locality. County
Attorney e. L. McCoid represented the
plaintiff and E. f. Harlan the defend

meat testified that they had become
sick and they thought the meat did
it. There was testimony both in favor
of the plaintiff and the defendant as
to the condition of the steer before be-

the defendant was guilty and assessed
the fine at $25 and costs, the defend
ant giving notice of appeal to the dis
trict court. The maximum penalty, we
understand, for an offense of this kind,
is fine Of 500 or thirty days in Jail.

OF clews that will lead to the capture
Of Pete Sardine, the Greek, who is be-
lieved to have murdered Kate Ryan
The clues that were found consist
Of several letters that he has re-
ceived, showing that he has some
close friends outside of the city. and
the police are now looking TO see him
arrested in or near one of these
Places
What the details OF the letters are
the police department refuses to give
out but they We're written from
friends In Chicago and from a town
In Michigan and the Davenport Of
ticers are confident that he will try
10 make his way to one of these
places. The theory of the police is
that he will look up his friends Sc
cure money enough to take him
i back to Greece and then leave i'm
+ mediately for his native country. They
hope to secure him, however, before he
reaches his friends and thus shut off
his possibility of return by capturing
him before he secures the necessary
funds. The police department of Chi
cago has been notified as have the Of
ficers In the Michigan city and should
the man turn VI in those places he
will be arrested Immediately.
In the meantime cards giving a

cities where there would me any
probability of his going and every
avenue OF escape has been closed as
Tar as possible.
Another letter showing that the
Greek was madly in love with the
girl and that she could secure what
she wanted from him, was found in
Sardine's room in Moline. The letter
was written by Kate Ryan and in the
epistle she tells him that she wants SIS
to buy a new dress with. The whole
letter indicates that the girl is conf
dent she will get the money, and she
concludes by telling him that she will
meet him in few days, but to hurry
up and send the coin. The letter was
written about two months ago, altllo
the exact date cannot be ascertained.
Has Left City.
The officers are confident that Sar-
dine did not return to Davenport after
the murder, or at least left immedi-
ately and before the remains were
found. According to the landlady
where he roomed the man had not
been to his lodging house since last
Saturday, and they are confident that
he did not return there after the muir
der was committed.
5 BY the time the remains of the wo-
man were discovered he was probably
many miles from Davenport, and his
capture is now looked for in some Of
the places where he has chums and
companions who would be likely to aid
him in escaping.
