er sweetheart. She was waylaid as
she was returning home from choir
practice. The assailant dragged her
to a lonely spot and crushed her skull
with sharp stone. A desperate
struggle was shown in the sand.
Signs show that she fought the man
from the time he grasped her in the
street until she fell unconscious at
the point to which the murderer
dragged her. Her skull was crushed
in two place and score Of cruel
blows were found on her bruised
and torn body. At the spot where
the body lay was passed and repassed
many times during the night by the
searchers,

Oskaloosa giving the name Of John
Martin of St Louis, who said he is a
teamster, He had blood on his
clothing and admitted that he had
just come from ottumwa. AT Abba a
man giving the name of William
Travers was arrested on suspicion.
Governor Carroll is considering the
offering Of large reward for the
murderer's apprehension. The mayor
of Ottumwa has offered $500 and the
citizesn $400 more.

State Health officer Brumby is max
ing a rigid investigation into the re-

developed cases of leprosy here
County Judge Phil Shook went to

Dr.. Brumby concerning the matter.
The cases are reported among
some of the prominent people OF the
city, and difficulty has arisen as
to quarantining these cases.
DR., Brrmby said that some OF the
cases had been isolated, but there
were some of those afflicted who
were not yet isolated. He informed
Judge Shook that Bexar county
must at once take the matter III
hand and have the patients SO az
flicted quarantined.
Unless this is done some rigid
measures may have to be taken.
''The great difficulty" said Dr.
Brumby, lis that we are not certain
of the method to combat this dis
ease, or how to check 1t, conse-
ouently those affected must be quar-
antined and kept from coming IN
