great interest is taken in local events
Of moment. Abilene has given TIC
week to the mystery. The county
commissioners offered $500 reward
the brother Of the slain girl added
500 more. The state is expected
to offer another $500. With this
handsome prize hung up efforts were
redoubled.
Aided by Earl Livingston, fiance of
the dead girl, the officers are con-
tinuing the search. These are the
things they seek: The knife from
which the blade Is broken; the
source Of the red bandanna hand
kerchief; the authorship Of the
note. It may be that an autopsy
viii be held, the body being exhumed
for the purpose. but It Is not likely.
The tracing Of anyone Of the three
inquiries named win solve the mys-
tery. Tonight It seems improbable
that the real story win ever be
known.
