TROUBLE PROMISED
Dredging of West River IN
Three Townships Not
Universally Liked.
EXPENSES TOO HEAVY.

Residents of the northwest corner Of
the county are circulating a petition
which will be presented to the county
commissioners. 1t asks that West
River be dredged for a distance of
about five miles as it passes through
Perry Dalton and jefferson townships.
A remonstrance Is being circulated by
opponents Of the measure. 1t has been
stated the cost of dredging the river
will be from 81 $50 10 5000 per mile.
The land owners Of the vicinity of the
river would be taxed TO pay for the
improvement according to Law.
II is claimed that West River over
flows with the heavy rains and the re-
suit is damage to crops and a wasting
away Of the lands adjacent to the
stream. The stream flows into Wayne
from Randolph county and arrange
ments have been made in Randolph
county to dredge that part Of the
stream.

BAND CONCERTS
At GLEN MILLER
Board of Public Works Making
Arrangements for This
Feature.
PARK OPENS SUNDAY.
ALL IMPROVEMENT ON THE
POPULAR PLACE WILL BE CON-
PLETED BY THAT TIME-NO
AMUSEMENT PARK LIKELY.

Band concerts will be furnished at
Glen Miller park this year the same as
last Arrangements are now under
way by the board of public works and
the concerts will begin as soon as the
weather is regarded as settled" When
the board offered the public free con-
certs at the park last summer, the
move was one that met with universal
approval The crowds that attended
were large and as the band is the only
attraction other than the natural re-
sources and the lake it was deemed ad-
visabIe to offer concerts again this
year.
There is little probability of an
amusement park being opened in the
vicinity Of this city this year. Local
private capital does not seem suffi-
ciently interested to assume the risk.
The only body of water near the city
suitable for boating is the lake at the
Glen. The city constructed the lake
as a part of the park, but it has been
turned over to individuals ever since
as one of the '1-rivileges." This con-
stitutes a monopoly on a small scale as
no boating can be done unless the
boats of the privilege people are used.
The formal opening of the park will
be next Sunday. There will be no
concert at this time nor speech MAX
ing. The lights about the roadways
and grounds all will have been in
stalled, the flowers set out and every
thing put in readiness by the close of
this week. At present the park is in
darkness after nightfall, but the wiring
/ is being repaired and the arcs in
stalled. The fact that the park has
remained dark so late in the year has
been a subject for comment but owing
! to weather conditions there have been
! but few visitors remaining after the
evening meal. Picnic parties will be
/ gin to arrive from without the city in
a few weeks and from then on the park
will prove its value as resort.

Laporte. Ind. May 15,-It was as
serted this morning that the Death
Agent employed by Mrs. Guinness to
lure her victims has been located in
Warsaw and an arrest will be made
soon. 1t is believed this man and the
alleged murderess escaped in an auto
mobile after the fire. Deputy Gil
saw the supposed couple pass through
Hobart. driving rapidly shortly after
the fire. Since the woman's gold
teeth have not been found ii leads
many TO believe that Mrs. Guinness is
in hiding. The sluicing process contin-
ues under the directions of Sheriff
Shutter.
Portions of human jaw bones and
a piece of skin on which traces OF
prove to be a part of human scalp
was found late yesterday in the cell
lar of the Guinness farm house. With
one accord, the prosecuting officers
of the country declared that these are
the most valuable To their case that
have yet been discovered. Even r.
\. Smith, the prosecuting attorney
broke silence on this occasion. ex-'
claiming. well this case is certainly
getting stronger"
The bones were found by the men
who have been sitting the ashes in
the cellar of the house under the di-
rection of Sheriff Shutter.
There was hurried call for ply
sicians who have been assisting the
coroner when the remains were
brought 10 town.
The meeting was held in the office
of DR.. J. II. William Meyers.
The pieces of bone are from the
upper jaw of II human being" said
DR.. Meyers. One seems to have been
from the right jaw and the other from
the left, although this point has not

determine the nature of the skin or
hair. 1t may have come from some
animal or 1t may have been a portion

the bones said:
