BLOODY FORK
Found Broken in G. uthrie's
Barn in Overly

Some more evidence has been found
in the Guthrie murder trial, but too
late to be of any use to the state.
Last Monday while some men were
engaged in removing a feed box from
Guthrie's barn in Overly a six. tined
pitchfork was found embedded in the
debris. The handle was broken off
close to the fork. It was freely
smeared with blood. It is the belief
of all the Overly people that this is
the fork with which Frank Guthrie
killed his brother Ed. Ira Travis,
the Overly livery man, who was over
here on Monday, says that the fork
found is a very heavy one, and that
it would be an easy matter to fracture
human skull with it in such fear
full manner as Ed Guthrie's skull was
found to be fractured. The finding of
the fork created some excitement at
Overly and renewed interest in the
case.
Guthrie is still staying around
Overly and vicinity.

His work In New Orleans for the

wide attention in that section of the
country. On the streets, in hotels and
other public places Cooper's cures are
the sole topic of conversation, He is
discussed everywhere, and the news
papers contain daily reports of his
cures. A number Of startling cases
have been cited and the names Of the
most prominent citizens have ap-
peared in connection, which fact
seems to verify the truth of the re-
ports.
