Fire Set by Cotton Battlno

A citizen of Horton bought two
small houses and joined them to-
gether to make one cottage. There
was small open space in the point
OF the roof where the two houses
were fitted together. The carpenters
filled the space with ordinary cotton
batting and the joint of the roof was
made OF tin. The heat of the sun
shining on the tin set fire to the cot

house down.-Cincinnau Enquirer.

County Offers Reward.

county O1erS reward,
The mystery regarding the attack
made on Mrs. John Turner OF this
city last night has not been light
ened by any developments today.
The county commissioners this af-
ternoon announced a reward of $3.50
for the arrest and conviction of her
assailant The bloodhounds brought
from Concordia reached here at noon
bat owing to the rain were unable
to pick up trail Mrs. Turner's
condition remains about the same.
Hundreds of people have packed
the streets OF the business section
today taking about the brutality Of
the attack, and a dozen theories
are being advanced
Feeling against the assailant is
high. The officers refuse admit
tance OF the public to the house,
and, though no arrests have been
made, they say something may be
done shortly. Every train is being
watched.
Owing to the fact that, though
she vas hit in the head eleven times
with a hammer, the skull was only
fractured twice it is the opinion
of many that Mrs. Turner's assall-
ant was a woman. When she was
found her gloves were still on her
hands. covered with blood and held
many hairs
Have Finger Prints as Clue.
Mrs. Turner thinks her assailant a
man. Bloody finger prints are on
the walls and window sill of tha
room wnere the assault took place,
but the officers today will not sav
whether they are those of man
OF woman.
The four months old baby of Mr..
and Mrs. Turner is being cared for
by a neiehbor. But for the fact
that the baby was uninjured, many
would believe it the work Of an as
sassin like the Ellsworth aXman.
