BUSINESS MAN MURDER VICTIM
Mystery in Nelson's Tragic Death
CIearing-Pounded With ScantIing.

Mystery in Nelson's Tragic Death
Clearing-Pounded With ScantIing.
An examination of the body Of Ed
Nelson, business man, who was
found dead along the railroad tracks
at Alcester, has convinced the au-
thorities that he was murdered.
1t was first supposed that he was
run down by train, but closer ex-
animation of the body showed marks
of violence, and new clues have point
ed the finger of suspicion at two men.
1t is believed Nelson was killed with
a board or scantling in which there
were several nails.
The case, which had been under in
vestigation since March Is, offers
much of mystery. The Sioux City
police are cooperating with the Off
GERS of Alcester in an effort to appre-
bend the suspects.

The tragic end Of another South
Dakota child is reported, the latest
victim being the two-year-od son of
Mr.. and Mrs. L. den Ouden. who re-
side on farm in the southwestern

body was found in a slop barrel,
which stood in close proximity to a
fence in the yard in the rear Of his
home. When the parents last saw
their child alive he was playing in
the back yard. 1t is supposed he
climbed upon the fence for the pur-
pose of looking into the barrel, which
was partially filled, and while doing
this lost his balance and fell head
first into the barrel. He was not
found until life was extinct.

Boy Kidnapped
$1,000 Demanded.

Sharon, Pa, March 1S.-Ten thou
sand dollars ransom is demanded for
the return of William Whitela, Attor-
ney James P. Whitlea's S-year-old son
who was spirited away from school
here this morning by an unknown man,
furnishing a mystery which the de-
tectives of the country are being asked
to solve. Accompanying the demand
for ransom is a covert threat that the
boy will be killed unless the money is
produced.
Hundl eds of kilograms and telephone
messages have been sent to the police
of various cities asking their assist
ance in the search for the boy and his
abductors. The first fruit of these
came tonight when Chief of Police
Grain of this city received word that
the vehicle in which the lad was taken
away, had been recovered at Warren,
Ohio, with the child's hat on the buggy
seat, and those in charge Of the case
think that the kidnapper has but a

The Whitleas are among the towns
leading residents. At $50 o'clock this
morning a stranger drove up to the
Eastward schoolhouse, where young
Whitlea is a pupil, and told the jani-
tor. Wesley Sloss, the lad was wanted
at once at his fathers Office.
Sloss conveyed the message to Miss

ENGLAND'S NAVAL SCARE
Leads to Renewed Demands for Ships
of Dreadnought Glass.

London. March 1S.-In the House Of
Commons Y tonight the Opposition
speakers made a strong effort to force
the hands of the government into Civ
ing a guarantee that four conditional"
Dreadnoughts should be laid down.
Premier Asquith forthwith declined to
promise anything except that the YES
seis would be built if Germany contin-
ued her active construction of war
slips. He argued that this question OF
Oreadnoughts had nothing to do with
the maintenance of a two-power stand
lrd 1t is believed that the premier's
lon-committal attitude will occasion
renewed agitation on the part of the
,ress and the public.
The naval scare i'll England has beer
revived by rumors that the British
government is considering the. pur-
chase of three warships of the Dread
nought type now being built in Eng
land for Brazil. The government has
the option of taking over these vessels,
but in view of the emphatic statements
of the ministers that the proposed es-
Inmates are sufficient to meet contin-
gencies, it is doubtful if it will exercise
this right unless unexpected develop
ments should occur.
In the course of today's debate on
the naval estimates in the House of
Commons Reginald McKenna, first
lord of the admiralty, asserted that
the full information at his disposal en-
abled him to say that the country
could be congratulated upon not hav-
ing laid down more vessels of the
Dreadnought type, as the ships about
to be commenced would be 30 per cent
better than the present Dreadnought
He said also he believed the new YES
sells would be superior to any ships
afloat in 1912.
