MYSTERY CLEARED
AFTER MANY YEARS

Mt. Pleasant, June ST killed him
because I thought he was the police
man who locked me up with a Niger
in the city calaboose."
These words uttered by James A.
Hillard, alias James Gingston, clear
up the mysterious murder of Charles
B. ellis, which was committed in Mt.
Pleasant February %, 1881.
A few days ago James r. ellis, a
prominent insurance man and q
nephew of Charles G. Gillis, was CIV
en- letter, which had been addressed
to the chief of police at Mt. Pleasant.
1t was from DR.. w. l.. Athon, superin-
tendent of the hospital for the insane
at Anna, ILL., The letter stated that q
man named James Gingston, who was
dying of consumption, had made a
statement that on February IS, 1881,
he had killed Charles ellis, mayor of
Mt. Pleasant.
There were some other details which
convinced James r. ellis that the
man was telling the truth, soShe went
to Anna last Friday and thus after
these thirty years he feels that he has
found the man who killed his uncle
and the motive which prompted the
deed.

BOARD F ACES
A LITIGATION
j. A. LAFFERTY SAYS HE WILL
BUILD BRIDGES FOR COUNTY
BECAUSE OF CONTRACT

Served with notice by J. A. Lat.
ferty, contractor for concrete bridges
who insists that he holds contract
with former board of supervisors to
erect a number of bridges for the
county the present board of super
visors is up against a possible suit or
litigation in which Contractor Lafferty
expects to force the building Of the
bridges. The notice was not entirely
unexpected as the board has had some
inkling of trouble from this source.
The outcome of the matter will be
watcft with interest az Chairman A.
J. Fairchild, was a member Of the
board that contracted with Mr.. Laf-
ferty for the bridge work. At the
time the work was ordered, 1t is
claimed by Lafferty that he was given
a list of the bridges to be built. The
two members of the present board, ].
w. Hall and Homer Patterson, who
oppose the measure say that they do
not know of such list and no record
of the list Of work is forthcoming,
so they say, in the minutes of the
board. The board that was In force
when the alleged contract was made
were A. ]. Fairchild, A. l.. Reynolds
and John Reinhard, the latter being
chairman of the board and is said to
have opposed the contract. The serv-
ing of the notice by the contractor
will no doubt develop a suit against
the county for the performance of the
contract as Supervisors Hall and Pat
terson are opposed to considering the
allege action of the former board In
regard to contracting the work SO far
ahead.
