Winnebago, ILL.,, May IA mys-
FERROUS murder, which might have baf-
fled even Sherlock Holmes, may be
solved by Mrs. M. E. Holland. If she
succeeds it will require the examining
of finger prints of every man and Wo-
man in Winnebago and may lead to "a
general change in the entire police
system of experimenting criminals over
the United states.
The murder occurred last week and
was the most mysterious and brutal
crime on record in the state. Mrs.
Margaret Grippen, cousin of General
Lew Wallace, author Of ben Hur,"
lived alone in a modest home here.
She was 63 years old.
As Mrs. Grippen is not known to
have had any enemies aud as not q
penny's worth of property was stolen
and no one could have benefited by
her death, all that remains upon
which detectives may work is the
finger print in blood made on a lamp
chimney by the murderer just before
his escape from the house,
Satisfied that the murder can only
be solved by means of the impression
on the blood stained chimney, Mrs.
M. E. Holland, one of the best known
finger print experts in the country,
has been called to Winnebago by
Sheriff Collier to compare the i'm
prints of every one of the 1000 in
habitants of the village. This work
will be commenced tomorrow Should
it prove fruitless every known ac-
quaintance Of Mrs. Grippen. whether
the resident of her home town or or
some other city. will be compelled to
submit to the test
This action was decided upon when
it was learned that for the past Is
years Mrs. Grippen apparently had
lived in fear of her life and that after
$50 every night she exercised great
caution in allowing visitors to enter
her home, questioning them as to who
they were and before unbarring the
door peerlng from a front window in
order to be positive of the identifi-
cation.
Whether or not Mrs. Grippen's prac-
tice of barricading the doors and VIM
doWs before 6 o'clock every night
was really on account of her fear of
bodily violence or Simply on account
of cautious nature owing to the
many years she had lived alone has
not been determined for certainty.
Mrs. Holland left Chicago for Win
nebago yesterday afternoon, taking
with her photogra phc copies of the
finger print expert Of the Chicago DO
lice department.

Compared Prints.

Mr., Evans spent the forenoon with
Mrs. Holland, comparing the thous-
ands OF prints held by the bureau of
identification, in hopes that one of
these imprints might be similar to the
murderer's. Evans furnished Mrs.
Holland all the information he had
secured during the three days he
spent in Winnebago and both he and
the woman declared that they were
convinced the murder was committed
by a person living here who was in
the confidence of Mrs. Grppen.
Whether this person is man or
woman neither detective will say. and
on account of this the finger prints
of women as well as men will be
taken by Mrs. Holland.
The finger print on the lamp CHM
ney was made in the blood of the
victim. This print is of left index
finger After photographs were taken
OF it by Expert Evans, bacteriologists
made an examination and found that
In this sample and In that of blood
taken from the dead Womans body
there were the same number of white
corpuscles, practically proving that
the imprint was made after the
woman had been stabbed, and that
her assailant had covered his hands
with her blood.
The imprint made by the murderer
is about one inch long and half an
inch wide. Under the Scotland yard
classification it is a radical loop inn
print" The lines running around the
crest of the finger tip are plainly
marked, and the experts declare they
will have no difficulty in proving
similarity if the finger marks of the
right man are secured
Very Careful.
So careful are Mayor Emmett Cross
and Sheriff Collier to prevent the es-
cape of the murderer if he is still

MEN URGE
WAR ON COYOTES
MONTHS OF JANUARY AND FEB
RUARY SET ASIDE FOR
THAT PURPOSE.

Dan P. Smythe, secretary of the
Oregon Wool Growers association,
requests that publicity be given the
war on coyotes started by the asso-
citation, and to urge all farmers and
stockmen to join in the crusade. Mr..
Smythe says:
you are no doubt aware of the
enormous loss every year, not only. to
sheepmen but to stockmen and farm
ers generally, by reason of the raw
ages OF coyotes and other predatory
wild animals. These pestiferous ami
mails are increasing so rapidly as to
become an alarming menace to the
raising Of sheep, pigs, poultry, calves
and even colts, not to mention the
wild game, such as deer and elk,
killed by cougar and wolves in the
mountains. Following the successful
killing of coyotes under similar mo
tion and method in January, 1908,
passed at The Dalles convention, the
Oregon Wool Growers association
again at its convention in Heppner,
Nov. 1S, 1908, unanimously adopted
the following:
we, the sheepmen of Oregon,
hereby set aside the month of Janu-
ary, 1909, for the purpose of making
special efforts to destroy coyotes and
other predatory wild animals through
out Oregon; that every possible effort
be made by all she epmen to destroy
coyotes with poison, traps, guns, dogs
and other methods; that we will in
duce our neighbors and everyone pos
sible to assist us in this crusade
against coyotes. That special pre-
caution be taken in putting out pois-
on; that poison be not placed near
dwellings or public highways, so
that dogs passing would not be liza
BILE to reach it; that poison be put
out only on our own premises and
ranges
"A coyote bounty law will be
urged before the coming legislat Ire
You can very materially help us n
securing the passage Of this law by
writing personal letters to each one
of your members of the State Legis-
lature, or any personal friend who
happens to be a member. Get your
neighbors to do likewise. Help us in
this coyote fight. 1t means much to

and the following resolution was sub

their approval and adoption
1--WE, the resolution committee Of
the state of Oregon, respectfully sub
init for your consideration and adop-
ton the following resolution: That
the National association URGE that
proper and suitable legislation be en-
acted at the coming sessions of the
different state legislatures offer such
bounty as will promote the de-
struction of wild animals; also pro-
viding that such proper safeguards
are included as to prevent fraud and
the importation of skulls. And we
further believe that in course or
time when such predatory animals
are fairly well thinned out, the boun
ty should be increased to such fig
ure as to insure their permanent
eradication; and we further suggest
that the national forest officials do
their part and use every effort to
exterminate these animals in the
woods and forests which are the nat
ural lairs and breeding places of
MANY of them. and further we rec
ommend that the president Of the
National association appoint CON-
mittee of three to draw up, or cause
to be drawn up, suitable bill for
the above purpose. Have the same
presented at the proper time and
use every possible means to have
such bill enacted into the law at the
coming legislatures, and we further
recommend that such committee use
what means they can to educate the
public generally as to the Importance
of such legislation and the enormous
losses sustained every year by not
