visited her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Levi
Addison. OF Carthage. Ind. II has
been suspicioned that possibly some
one In this vicinity might have been
connected with the affair. but the
authorities do not give the story Gre

Saw Negro Running.
At about o'clock. the fire bell at
Cambridge City was sounded. to form
a posse, an alarm having been given
by Mrs. Joseph Clevenger OF Milton.
Mrs. Clevenger was driving about q
half mile southeast of Milton yester-
day morning about IL o'clock and mo-
ticed a negro jump over fence and
run rapidly across field. She
thought little of this incident until
at noon when her husband told her OF
the murder She then told of seeing
the fleeing negro.
Two posses. each with an automo-
bile, hurried to the scene. Marshal
Drischell of Cambridge City headed
one party and went to Connersville,
without discovering any further de-
velopments, to this clue. The other
party went southeast and its mission
was likewise fruitless. A negro from
Philadelphia was suspicioned, but on
apprehension gave satisfactory ac-
count of himself. Mrs. Joseph Cope

from the place. also furnished clue
of two strangers who visited their
place about II o'clock. but this also
proved OF no consequence.
sloodhounds Are Used.
The Indianapolis bloodhounds we're
brought to the scene about o'clock.
They were not placed upon any scent
at the house but taken to the point
where Mrs. Clevenger saw the negro
jump the fence. A large posse was
with the dogs and during the night,
reports were received of the hounds
having a rather warm scent. below
Feeder dam and south Of Lockport
until late at night. The dogs seemed
lost for part Of the time. continual
ly circling.
However the dogs started early this
morning and went due east to the riv-
er, which runs west Of Centerville,
but at point several miles to the
south, where the scent was lost at
S o'clock this morning. The dogs
were rested and the scent taken up on
the other side, early this morning
The dogs were to be taken back to
the Allison homestead today and an
effort made to run down another clue,
which seems as good as that Of the
negro.
Another Warm Clue.

found q handkerchief. about one hun
dred feet west of the house. and in q
clump Of trees. The handkerchief was
torn and was identified by the ALI
son children as being one In which
their mother sometimes tied her god
watch and also kept her loose change.
It is the intention OF starting the dogs
at the tracks which are nearby and
the creek bottom. I. A. Gormon, SUI
perintendent of Richmond police, is
confident that this will result in a
discovery Of Importance.
A rather good description of the
soles of the shoes worn by the party
which took this trail has been secur-
ed. The soles were filled with hob
nails. The imprint In the soft mud
Is like that of man running. The
track is lost at point where the man
jumped the ditch and took out over
the grass. The owner of the dogs
says that the scent will still be in
the tracks and believes that the dogs
can follow this very easily.
