Mason City. Dec. 20-Word reached
here today of the suspected murder or
Miss Katherine Kelley, known TO
homesteaders here, a young woman
who was living on claim near Fort
Pierre. S. ID. That it was murder is NOT
certain, but suspicion points to young
man living on an adjoining claim,
who is said to be a rejected sutton.
Miss Kelley was found by her BROTH
err, with q bullet hole in the back OF
her head, lying just inside the door
of her cabin, Monday morning, as he
entered her home to make the fire. that
being his custom. The afternoon be-
fore that, a party of young people in
Guiding Miss Kelley and her brother,
had been out for a picnic party, and
on their return stopped at Miss KEEL
ley's cabin, where refreshments were
served All left in a short time but
young man who is said to have been
an accepted sutton of the girl, and who
succeeded in her favor a young fellow
named Clegg. This young man re-
mained, 1t is thought, about an hour
after the rest of the party left.
1t was then thought that the re-
jected sutton appeared, and that prob
ably a quarrel ensued, followed by the
shooting. He had been heard to make
threats, and his actions since have led
to his arrest. He is now held at Fort
Pierre. Miss Kelley and her brother
have relatives living at Bever Creek,

Davenport.
County Attorney A. w. Hamann Is
in receipt of word from the House of
Good Shepherd at Peoria, to the eff
feet that Mary Kuhni, an inmate
there, has come out with a denial
that her father, H. Kuhni, was guilty
Of the terrible crime with which she
charged him at the time he was SEN
fenced to serve a life term at the
state penitentiary. One Of the most
appalling cases in the annals of Scott
county criminality, was aired in the
district court here when H. Kuhni was
tried on the charge Of rape, the COM
plainant being his daughter, mere
child. Kuhni was convicted and SEN.
fenced for life. Soon after his inn
prisonment, he went totally blind. The
case was appealed to the supreme
court and Kuhni granted new trial.
He was again convicted but by reason
of his blindness, was given a lighter
sentence, this time ten years. With ar
allowance of good behavior, he still
has one year and eight months to
serve. He was convicted solely upon
the testimony Of his infant daughter.
Now this daughter has grown into
quite good sized girl and has come
out with denial of her fathers guilt
and blames another party for the story
which she told and upon which her
father was convicted. Whether the
girls denial will influence the board OF
control to grant the prisoner a par
don, is not known at the present time.
The matter is now being investigated
by the county attorney

the first words the prisoner turned his
eyes slowly toward the clerk, but there
