Strange Coincidence.

CHICAGO, H., Jan. ga remark
able coincidence in the discovery of
two headless and nude women in
Chicago on January 20 in the last
two years prompts Coroner Hoffman
to start an investigation tonight in
the hope that the circumstances at
tending each of these two murders
might lead to the discovery of the
perpetrator of the first crime as well
as the slayer of Mrs. Jennie Cleghorn,
whose decapitated body was found
last Thursday in fat on the south
side.
The coroner discovered in looking
over his records tonight that the
headless and nude body of woman
never identified, was found in Lake
Michigan off Jackson park on Ian
90, 1908, exactly two years almost tc
the hour before Thursdays crime was
discovered. The fact that both wom
en- were killed in substantially the
same way and on the same day of the
month furnishes the theory that the
murders may have been committed by
some secret organization similar tt
those in Russia which mark their vic
tins for death on the anniversary O
some happening that seemed to cal
for revenge.

Salina, Kan, Aug. 20.-'"The Rock
Island is working on a new time table
and which If carried out, and railroad
men say there is no doubt about it,
will change the Rock Island service In
Salina to a great extent.
According to the plans the after

Off These trains run only from Her

arrives at 2:45 p. M, and leaves fifteen
minutes later on its return.
''In it's stead a Salina to Wichita
service is to be inaugurated. The Sa-

in Salina over night.
1.-THE train will leave Salina at 6

Wichita at o'clock p. m. and will ar

will enable Salinaites who have bust

the entire day in Wichita. It will be
the finest service Salina has ever had
with Wichita.
