THE LOCUS MURDERER CASE

THE LOCUS MURDERER CASE
Two depositions which the police
believe will have an important part
in solving the murder of Joseph II.
Logue, diamond broker, were
brought back from St. Louis today by
Detective SIoier of Assistant Chief
Schuettler's Office.
In one Of them Ethel Miller,
sister of Louise RohIfng, John
Faiths sweetheart, substantiates
the story told to the police by
Faith in describing the murder. It
was naturally the. same story, as she
had heard it second hand. A gold
ring, set with two diamonds and a
garnet, was also secured from Ethel
Miller. II is said to be part Of the
loot obtained from LOgue.
The other disposition, said to have
been made by the wife of Harold
Schneider, the second suspect arrest
ed, is believed to charge Faith with
the murder of Jehiel Jenner, who was
killed on the lake front at the foot
Of Chicago avenue.

dent of Northwestern Fruit Co., who
says that 100000 bushels of the
apple crop will be exported, leaving
just enough apples to make 1884
535, 900 pies for home consumption.
This means 100 pieces of pie for
every man, woman and child in the
U. S., a little less than a piece of pie

SUMNER FICTION

BY Berton Braley.
Away with the fiction
That's touted so much
For breathless depletion
Of action and SUCH;
Away with the novel
OF sadness and signs,
Of gloom in a howell
Where everyone dies.
Away with the story
OF problems and sex,
Of love transitOry
And homes that. are wrecks
It's time for rOmances
OF summer again,
OF shy maiden glances .
And manly young men.
We don't want excitement
Or any such thing
But books that are light, meant
For hammock and swing;
So love stories gentle
We read as we laze;
We're all sentimental .
