WOMAN AN|URD[R[SS
Startling Discoveries Made on a
Farm Near Laporte, Ind.
FIVE BODIES UNEARTHED
Victims Believed to Have Been Slain
for Their Money or Their
Life insurance.

Laporte, Ind, May 6.-With five
bodies already unearthed Sheriff
Shutter and Coroner Mack will con-
tinue their search for other alleged
victims of Mrs. Bella Guinness, who,
to all indications, was one of the most
fiendish murderesses of the century
and who was recently killed with her
three children through the burning of
her country home one mile northeast
of Laporte.
Of the bodies so far unearthed two
have been identified. They are those
of Andrew Helgelein, wealthy bach
ME Olson, eleven years old, STEP
daughter of Mrs. Guinness. The other
three bodies are so badly decomposed
as to make Identification impossible.
The discovery of the bodies was
brought about by the appearance of
A. K. Helgelein of Aberdeen, S. D.,
brother of Andrew Helge]ein, in search
of the missing man. With informa-
ton that his brother Andrew had
come to Lapo1te to we'd Mrs. Gun
ness and that he had turned over his
property to her, he became convinced
that he had been the victim of foul
play.
While questioning Joseph Maxson,
a hired hand on the Guinness farm, he
learned of the mysterious digging of
holes by him, all of them being filed
at a later date by Mrs. Guinness.
Officers Make lnvestg alton.
He led Helgelein and the officers to
the spot where the holes had been
dug about $50 feet from the house
and there after digging a few minutes
there was uncovered the body of
Helgelein The remains were only
four feet under ground and were en-
closed in gunny sack. The legs and
arms were dismemhered but were with
the tgunk
About thirty-five feet further On the
remains of the four other bodies were
found. Lying on top of mattress
wore the skeletons of two men and a
woman. Underneath the mattress
was the body of an eleven-year-old
girl, said to be Jennie Olson. All the
bodies were taken in charge by the
coroner.
1t is recalled that the two husbands
,of Mrs. Guinness died under suspicious
circumstances, both meeting violent
deaths. The first, Max Sorenson, was
insured for $500, and the second,
Guinness, for $4,000. The insurance
was paid over to Mrs. Guinness.
Ray Lamphere, the former hired
man Of Mrs. Guinness, who was arrest
I'D after the Womans house had been
destroyed by fire and the bodies of
Mrs. Guinness and her three children
had been found In the ruins, was
charged with numbering the family.
He will now be accused of being an
accomplice of Mrs. Guinness in the
numbering of alleged victims of the
LapOrte woman.

Says Government Was Cheated,

Washington, May 5--In a speech
in the house Representative Hitchcock
of Nebraska charged that the govern
ment had been cheated out of no less
than $57,000,000 by the sale by the in
terror department of 100000 acres of
timber and stone lands at the mini
mum price. He contended that where
as only $2.58 an acre had been re-
ceived much more could have been OBJ
tanned if the department had not sold
the land for the lowest price fixed by
the law.

EXPRESS COMPANY ROBBED
Reports Loss Of $63,0oD Consigned to
Mexican Bank.

Laredo, Tex, May 2--The loss of
$63 900 in Mexican currency has been
reported by the Wells-Fargo Express
company to the authorities of Torreon,
Mex. The company claims it was
taken from a through safe ON their
City of Mexico train The money was
consigned to one of the banks of Chi
huahua.
Two arrests have been made in Tor
reon, although it is not believed by
the officials that the men who were
arrested have the money
1t appears that one of the agents of
the company boarded the express train
at a station between the City of Mex
leo and Torreon, afterwards leaving
the train. 1t is said that he was the
only man who was in the car who
knew the combination of the safe. He

WHY BOOZE JOINTS THRIVE.
Local Officials are Responsible for
Their Presence.

The last few weeks has seen an
unusual number OF men arrested
Tor the crime of bootlegging
Through numerous complaints from
the temperance people all over the
county, the sheriff has instituted a
vigorous campaign against the of
tenders. All of the men accused
have been brought from territor!
outside the city of Greeley. The
city of Greeley gives the sheriff
very little trouble The city officials
take care of the city criminals.
When Marshal Williams finds a
bootlegger he does not send for the
sheriff to arrest him.
Upon the liquor question the people
of Greeley back up their officials and
many OF the people are Indifferent

BOotlegging is an offense against
the state laws and the authorities
in small towns excuse their own
negligence by placing the burden
upon the sheriff, who must see to
the execution of those laws. Every
village can create and should create
an ordinance bearing a penalty for
the Illegal sale of liquor and then
the constable OF such corporation
would not have to await the action
OF the sheriff BY this method the
town or village would profit by the
fine and the number of booze join,.
would be compatible with the in

sheriff does not care for the ioh

LET US BE SENSIBLE.

The old absurd notion still pre-
walls that no business can be done
with any safety until after election.
The strange part of it is that this
works both ways with people. Many
believe that the country will just go
upon the rocks if Bryan is elected
There are not quite SO many who be-
lieve that Taft will be the ruination
of the country, if elected, but there
are plenty of them, also.
People with good business sense
in every other way are being influ-
enced by this absurd notion and are
simply drifting along with the cur
rent, afraid to buy goods, almost
afraid to sell, until after election, for
fear their favorite candidate shall
not be elected. There is about as
much reason in this position as there
was in the old belief in witchcraft
We have really but very little edge
generations back If we allow our
selves to be swayed by the idea tina,
one man can hold in his hand the
destiny of nearly 100,0OO.00o fairl,
rational beings, with some minds il
