for which not even the most profound
rural philosopher can account to his
own satisfaction.
81 never saw an animal move so
slowly before in all my life!" cried an
exasperated traveller in an Essex car
rier's cart, behind which the clouds Of
a rapidly rising storm were growing
blacker every moment. Cant the
horse go any faster? You had an ex-
cellent one fifteen years ago when I
used to spend the summer here"
That's the curious thing about It,"
said the driver, gazing first at his steed
and then at the uneasy passenger in a
mildly speculative way. "This boss

Laporte, Ind, May S.-Three more
bodies, making total of twelve, were
dug up on the murder farm of Mrs.
Belle Guinness today.
One of the corpses was dismem-
.bered and neatly sewn up in a gunny
sack. 1t was recognized as a woman,
but its identity has not been estab-
lished. The other two skeletons wero
evidently those of men.
A singular feature in connection
with the discovery of so many dead
bodies here is that only two of them
have been claimed by relatives.
DR.. White, of Wayne Indiana, made
an inspection of the bodies dug up
today. and it is said that he also ex-
amined those stored in the barn, but
he denied that he was searching for
anyone.
The neighbors say that one of the
victims was a horse trader from Mon
tana, who was seen here recently,
and who suddenly disappeared.
Six more graves are to be opened
tomorrow and the authorities believe
that the number of dead will be
swelled 10 past twenty, not counting
the four victims who are supposed to
have perished in Mrs Guinness home,
which burned on April 30.
