legged man or an individual in a great
hurry got away with five shoes from

Prominent Citizens Arrested Charged
With Serious Grimes.

Guthrie Center, July 29.-Two well

result OF the confessions of a 15year-
old girl, the daughter of one of them.
M. f. Coons is in Jail charged with
having shot thirty-tw'o head of stock
belonging to his neighbors, and Frank
Dudley is charged with criminal as
sauN ON Coons' 15-year daughter,
Retta, whose story brought about the
arrests.
Coons is a farmer living about two
miles south of Panora, and Dudley is a
neighbor. For three years the farmers
OF the community have been in a state
Of excitement over the mysterious kill
ing Of their stock. In all nineteen horses
and fourteen head Of cattle and hogs

ion pointed to Coons, who led a soli-
tary life and was continually quarrel
ing with his neighbors. He allowed no
one on his place, and nobody cared to

against him, and the local authorities
and outside detectives failed to I'M
earth amy clues.

vestigation Of detectives who were
called in.
