POLICE CLAIM TO HAVE CLUE TO
IDENTITY OF SLAYER
OF GRACE TAYLOR

Western Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-An automo-
bile owner, well known along Broad
way, and known as a skillful electri-
clan, is now suspected of the murder
week ago of Mrs. Grace Taylor,
whose body was fearfully muti'Gted
by the explosion of an Internal ma
chine sent to her home.
The man, whose name the police re-
fuse to divulge, harbored grudge
against Mrs. Taylor and had quarrcled
in her flats three nights before the
tragedy. He was intimately acquaint
ed with her and her friends and dur
ing the past year he was a frequent
pressed true affection for the little
Baltimore girl Mary Curle who has
figured as Olivette Leonard in this
case and boasted of his determina-
ton to marry her. During the sum
mer he managed to get the girl away
to seaside resort for three weeks
and brought up on him the eno,ity
of Mrs. Taylor, who objected to the
frequent absences of this girl which
were arranged by her admirer. Clash
es were more frequent as fall ad-
,anced and then came the arrest Of
MIS-. Taylor who conducted an apart
ment as Mrs. Wiiker. The accusation
concerned the reputed harborirg of
tie girl Olivette who was thought to
be minor.

TEN-YEAR-OLD NEBRASKA GIRL

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. o.
The lifeless body of Goldie Williams,
the 1O-year-old girl who disappeared
from her home here, has been found
in a vacant house, with her head bruis-
ed and otherwise mistreated.
Quick lime had been thrown over
the body and over an old door on
which the body had been laid. Upon
the discovery, every man and boy in
Grand Island, and the surrounding
country, has been searching for the
slayer. The officials have practically
notified the people that in case the
perpetrator of the murder is discov-
cred no effort will be made to protect
him from a mob which will undoubt-
edly lynch him.
Goldie Williams, with her school
mates, was skating on a shallow pond
Wednesday afternoon when a stran-
ger appeared and asked her if she
would like a nice pair of skates. The
other children who were present said
the man, told her to come with him
and he would give them to her. Two
hours later Goldie and the same man
were seen to pass through the grounds
of the Soldiers home. The man was
described as being, apparently, about
40 years old and well dressed.
When the child did not come home
to supper the family started an in
quiry and soon learned that she had
been enticed away by the stranger.

Fort Worth Defeats
Athletic Yannigans

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 4.-The
Athletic Eannigans yesterday suffered
defeat at the hands of the Fort Worth
Bronchos by the score of to 3. Rather
than run the risk of injury. Manager
Mack, on account of the slippery and
heavy condition of the diamond, retired
Strunk after the first inning and later
took Russell out of the game. Despite
a patched-up team, the Yannigans
played good ball, outhitting and out
fielding tho Texans. The deciding fac
tors in the result were two hCme runs,
one by Metz, San Antonio's first-sacker,
in the first inning and another by Belts
In the fifth.
Bonner, the Spokane twirleT, started
the game for the Athletics, and oper-
ated five innings. He was hit hard, as
he used little speed and did not throw a
curve. On the other hand, Brown, the
Jerseyite, who succeeded him, was a
different proposition. But three hits
were made off his delivery, two OF
which were scratches.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark. March 4.-For

really hard TO beat. During the time the
people of the North, East, and West

part. He has contracted to make three
or more Nights daily, and ii is expected

aYiators entered in the events.
The baseball colony has been increased
to such proportions that almost every
other man one meets on the streets may
be baseball player. There are almost
100 leading lights in the baseball pro-
fessiOns now in the city and next week
will witness the arrival of three clubs
for their annual spring training season.
Among the more important players
now in the city are the following: Cy
