 covered by a watchman. The latter, b. M. Hudson, ordered the men away and sent a messenger to summon a deputy sheriff from La Porte. The intruders dis appeared before the officers arrived, aud efforts to discover their identity failed.
 It is thought, however, that the men were lesi by mere curiosity to desire close view of the gruesome skeletons.
 Lacking the excitement which attended the discovery of bodies yesterday and Tuesday, the rumormongers of the town today made use of their opportunity to start stories about the streets. These false sensations followed each other at inter vals all day, but none of them bore the test of investigation. One report had it that Dr. c. S. Mack, coroner of the county, has expressed an official opinion as to the identity of the body found in the ruined house and since identified as that of Mrs. McGuinness. A second story de- cared that Chicago relatives of the wom- an had decided to contest the will by which her estate was bequeathed to an orphan asylum in Chicago. The report stated further that an officer of the orphanage association had arrived here to defend the institutions rights. This rumor, however, was exploded when the suspected stranger denied that he had ever heard of the institution in question.

Whether this opens the way for kindred branches to come in under the main plan was not made clear. al- though it was explained that the con- ference had outgrown the expectations and purposes of the original founders.

 At the public health meeting, Dr. Charles s. Grandy of Norfolk read pa per on the "Consumptive Negro, in which he showed that the death rate had large ly increased. Pointing out the fact that this case was practically unknown in the days of slavery. he held that the spread was due to lacK of nourishment, poor accommodations and an unwilling ness to use precautionary methods for prevention. Dr. Grandy declared that racial prejudice was not responsible, quoting records to show that the col ored death rate from tuberculosis for 1907 was lower in Norfolk than in Bos- ton.

 Soon and More Mysteries
 Will Be Solved.
MANS BODY IS IDEN TlFlED

La Porte. Ind, May 7.-The Identification of another of the bodies dug up on the Guinness farm near here as that of Ole B. Budsberg of lola, Wis, and evidence that he, like Andrew Helgelein of Mans field, s. D., had been brought into Mrs. Bella Guinness net through matrimonial advertisements, was one of the classi- flying features of todays developments in the complication of the case. The iden- tification of the bundle of bones and flesh as the remains of Budsberg was made by the mans sons, Mat Budsberg, aged 29, and Oscar H., two years his junior. The young men arrived here this after noon.
 A soaking rain which fell continuously for 24 hours prevented further excavation about the farm, and Sheriff Smutzer de- voted his day to unearthing possible evil dence which may be used in the trial of Ray Lamphere on the charge of having caused the deaths of Mrs. Guinness and her three children The results of his in- vestigations were such that Ralph N. Smith. prosecuting attorney for the dis trict. announced that he will seek the im- mediate indictment of Lamphere and will endeavor to have the case called for trial at the next term of court, which is sched- uled to start May H..
 'Lamphere will be on trial within three weeks" said MT. Smith. "So far as the state is concerned, the case is complete, and | am ready to present the evidence to the court and jury. I am satisfied that we have collected testimony of such a character that Lamphere's responsibility for the deaths in the fire will be estab- lished beyond a reasonable doubt.
 During the sherif's absense this after noon two men, thought to be from Michi- gan City, caused considerable apprehen- sion by breaking into the carriage house on the Guinness farm, where the nine cadavers have been kept since their ex- humation. The men raised window of the building and one of them had already made his way into the morgue when dis

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND
 ROBBED IN YOLANDE
Man Who Committed Deed
 Started Toward BeSSemer
BAD NEGRO LODGED IN JAIL
Sam Jackson Is Believed To Be Want ed For Crimes In Various Parts of District-Peanut Roaster
 Takes Fire.

Bessemer May 7-(Special)-A mes sage was received in the city this even ing by Detective Patton from Yolande, stating that negro had been murdered and robbed. owing to the fact that the telephonic service from Yolande was very poor, MT. Patton was unable to get d definite description of the negro, who is supposed to have continued the deed, but the following was obtained: He is about 5 feet inches high, copper colored, and the most noticeable feature about him is his teeth. They are described as being very bad. He wore a white hat and a suit of blue overals
 It is understood that the supposed mur- derer left Yolande on the mixed train which arrives in this city late in the afternoon. The train came in just about the time MT. Patton was taking the mes sage from Yolande and for that reason the negro, il he was on that train, had a good start on the officers.
 The officers are working on the case, but up to the present time they have no clue that can be counted on.

Bad Negro Caught.

Sam Jackson, the negro who has trav- eled under more aliases than any other negro arrested in this city in some time, is in the city jail charged with a num- Der of crimes. From the best evidence obtained it appears that he has travelled under about ten names and in each case he happened to make good until he ran up against the Bessemer detective force. When heg ot here and commenced opera tions his luck seems to have deserted him, anyway, he was landed in jail and it is believed he will prove to be a good road hand, as he is willing to work any time, any place or anybody and the matter of changing his name was only matter of circumstances He was arrested and lodged in jail some few days ago, charged with stealing harness from Dr. c. L.. Stansbury and on that charge he was fined S17.50 and costs.
 After the conclusion Uf the case it was discovered that there were about ten other eases against him aon for that req son he is still doing business at the local jail house.

Peanut Waoon On Fire.

It is not often the case that a peanut man allows his machine to catch on fire, but it happened this evening and J. F.. Judge came very near losing a valuable roaster. Mr Judge conducts his busi- ness on the corner of Nineteenth street and Second avenue and after his day work is over he has the machine rolled around to Eighteenth street and First alley where he has a little barn, or as the automobile people would call it, a garage.
 Evidently he failed to cut off the steam when he put the little car up for the night Officer Partridge was passing along Eighteenth street thS< evening and he heard sort of a bdzzing sound. He thought at first it was buzz wagon, but after looking around awhile he discovered that the peanut busines- was still going on and he could not understand it from the fact that every one in the city knows that MT. Judge refuses to do business after dark
 MT. Partridge broke in the door and suppressed the fireworks, but he was unable to reduce the gasoline bill.
