Saturday night. were released from custody to-day. Both men have shown conclusively that they are in-, nocent and the police now are with out clue to the identity of the assai- lant.
 The coroner to-day established that the murderer of Miss Forschner has en- ormous hands as the imprints of his fingers on the throat of his victim extend far around her neck. It has been further determined that the girl was attacked in the shed in which her body was found.
 This must have occurred after her head was beaten in. and after her body had been dragged nearly half a square. The ground at the scene of the assault presents .unmistakable evil dence that the victim made a desperate struggle in defense of her life and honor as the sod and sand were torn and covered with tracks from which the police estimate that the struggle between the girl and the rayisher could have consumed not less than twenty minutes.
 The officers have under survillance a number of negro men,

PEOPLE BUYING EARLY.
Hellhers Says the Early Christmas
Buyinu is Good,

AS usual thing people wait till
the last minute and then come in and
expect 10 get a ring or watch and
have it engraved at once. but this year
people seem 10 have learned from past
experience that it takes time to do
engraving and are buying early so as
to have the engraving done before
making the present.
Engravers are hard to get, that is
good ones, and Hellberg positively will
not do a JOB of engraving unless il is
done right. SO you must buy early if
your engraving is to be done before
Christmas.
If You have not bought your pres
ents and they are TO be engraved, He'll
berg will appreciate it if you come in
this week. so that he can give each
and every person the time that is nee
essary 10 do the work right.
