COW TAKEN FOR YEGG.
Grassville Has Nothing on Sleuths in
Sheridan, Pa,

The good people of Sheridan, Pa,
have been troubled for months by a
gang of safe crackers. Extra police
men have been appointed and 80 odd
citizens have been deputized to re-
spond at the call Of an alarm bell,
Jump into their boots and shoot to
kill the first prowler they see. Last
week an officer saw dark object
walking toward the door Of the First
National bank.
"Safe blowers, by heck!" he solilo-
quized.
The dark figure tried to force
open the bank door.
Halt" demanded the bluecoat.
There was no reply. Without wasting
another moment, the police ran to a
fire, engine house and rang the bell.
Thirty deputized citizens and police
responded to the signal.
There he is, trying to get Into the
bank" shouted the policemen who
gave the alarm.
Thirty shots rang out simultan-
eously, and the robber at the bank
door fell under the shower of bull
lets. The sleuths had killed Pete
Shaughnessy's Jersey cow.

HER THROAT CUT
FEMALE DOCTOR FOUND DEAD
IN HER APARTMENT.
Her Body Was Found by Her As
(
sistans, Who Delayed Reporting
1t For An Hour.

At Indianapolis, Ind, Dr.. Helen
Knake was found dead, her body
cut and bruised, in a bed room of
ler apartment Tuesday. The police
are satisfied she was murdered. DR..
Kna.be's body was found when her
assistant, Miss Katherine McPher-
son, entered the apartment.
The body and the bed upon which
it lay were covered with blood but
no weapon was found in any of the
rooms nor was 1t apparent a robbery
had been committed. All the win
dows were closed, though the physf-
clan, who was devoted to physical
culture, habitually slept with the
windows open:
DR.. Knabe was last seen alive by
Miss Mcpherson, to whom she had
said late Monday that she intended
spending the IIevening in studying.
She lived andthad her Office on the
ground floor OF an apartment house
in a prosperous and quiet neighbor-
rood. No persons, so far as has been
learned. heard. sounds of struggle
in DR.. Knabe's apartment Monday
night.
Augusta Knabe the physicians s
cousin, and the latters stepfather,
Franc Kropp, told the police that
DR.. Knabe had no enemy SO far as
they knew. She was 35 years Of age
and a graduate of the Indiana Col
lege of Medicine.
The police put aside the theory of
suicide when they examined Dr..
Knabe's body and saw that though
the throat had been slashed, there
was no blood on the dead woman's
hands and when no knife was found
in her rooms. She was in her night
gown.
Reports of Dr. Knabe's death were
not made to the police for an hour
after her body was discovered. DR..
Knabe, though she had wide ac-
quaintance, is said not to have had
an intimate friend among the men
she knew.
Jefferson Haynes, the negro jani-
tof of the apartment houst in which
DR.. Knabe lived, was taken to po-
lice headquarters to be Questioned
as to his whereabouts at different
hours Monday night and whether
or not he saw any one about the
Knaba aDartment other than DR..
Knabe. - - y -

HOW JONES CAME OUT
HE BLOCKED MOVEMENT TO DE-
FEAT GOV. BLEAsE.
Being Gotten Up by Tilms1ites and
Anti Tillmanites in Every County
i'm the State.

The Spartanourg Herald says it
learned Sunday from an authoritative
source that the announcement last
month of the candidacy of Chief JUS
tice Ira 3. Jones, of the supreme
court, for the governorship suddenly
called halt on elaborately formed
plans for conference of leading men
from all counties of the state, at
which a candidate was to be chosen
to oppose Governor Blease who would
be acceptable to all elements of the
opposition.
There had been much correspond
ence in regard to the matter, and ar
rangements had been made for a
meeting of delegates from nearly ev-
cry county in Columbia during the
Red Shirt reunion. At this meeting
it was proposed to discuss the situ-
alton and make an attempt to con-
centrate on one man. 1t was then pro-
posed to build up an anti-Blease or
ganization in order to be ready for
an effectual campaign next summer.
The Herald's information was
verse to the publication of his mat
ter, saying Il would do no isood and
might injure Justice Jones. He de-
clared, however, that a Eumber of
prominent men who hr.I previously
been on opposite sides Of the polit-
ical fence became disgusted with the
administration of Governor Blease
and agreed to forget their differences
and work in harmony to accomplish
his defeat.
The Herald's informant mentioned
the names of number of those who
we're in the agreement. There were
in the number Tillmanites and anti
Tillmanites, prohibitionists and local
optionists.
The leader of the movement,
man prominent in state politics in
former years, found that it was look
ed upon with favor in all parts of
the state. It was thought TO be the
only way possible to defeat Bease.
Just as the plans were maturing,
The Her wasdni6umn (fu mmbl
The Herald was informed, a certain
element became suspicious that it
was plot to put forward former
Governor John Gary Evans, of this
city, as the champion of the oppo-
nents Of Blease. This suspicion was
unfounded, according to the Herald's
information, who said that sentiment
had favored Mai. John G.. Richards
Jr., as the candidate above anybody
else.
The suspicious element urged Chief
Justice Jones to take the field at
once and thus gain the advantage
and ward off oppos:' on. There was
a conference with Senator B. r. Till
man. Justice Jones forwarded his
resignation to Governor BIease. An
emissary was hurriedly sent to him,
begging him to do nothing further
until the meeting during the Red
Shirt reunion was held. But the
next day Justice Jones announced
his candidacy and the we'll laid plans
went agley.
