Murderer Thought
In Hiding Here

A hand bill Offering reward of
5000 for the apprehension OF Charles
alias Coli Brannon. who on April

William on his farm six miles from
Urbana. o., was received yesterday
by City Marshal Hudgens. 1t is be-
lieyed that the hunted man has been
in this district within the last 50
days.
Brannon. according to the state
ment of the hand bill. became inyoly-
ed in a quarrel with his brother on
the date mentioned over check for
$3.50. and as his brother stepped into
the sitting room of their home to
greet relatives who had arrived that
day from Cleveland. the murderer
emptied the charge from one barrel
of shot gun in his breast.
He then escaped from the house
and made his way across the fields %
the nearest railway. He Is supposed
to have come west.
Brannon Ia described as being II
years OF age. about 5 feet I or .
inches in height. dark complexion,
weight about 100 pounds. He leans
forward from the hips when he
walks. His habits are described as
dissipated and he Is thought to be the
companion of tramps and hoboes
wherever he Is.
The marshal at once put his force
to work on the case and the district
is being secured for a man answering
the description.
