Sheriff Gets Fresh Clew at An
dalusia Yesterday-Pursuit
Is Stiil on.

AS yet the authorities have been
unable to locate Alfonso Vens. the
Belgian who is believed to have muir
dered Basil Martens, the South Rock
Island dairyman, although they are
practically certain, from information
CLEANED yesterday. that the fugitive is
hiding either in Rock Island, Moline
or East Moline, and has not fled the
country as was the supposition.
Sheriff o. l. Bruner. together with
Deputies Hughes and Dunlap, invaded
Andaluiia yesterday and there obtain
ed the first real clew as to Vens
whereabouts. AT the Tom Dyer sa-
loon, the proprietor turned over to the
sheriff suitcase, which had been
eft there by the supposed murderer.
Vens was in the saloon a few days
ago, just previous to the murder, and
borrowed a dollar. leaving his vaiu-
ables as security. In the suit case
were found shot gun shells, a number
of .38 calibre cartridges and some
clothing. A number Of Belgians in
the Andalusia colony informed the
sheriff that Vens was a bad actor and
was 'in bad" throughout that entire
vicinity. He was always in need of
money, they said, and had borrowed
promiscuously. In their opinion, Veins
was still hiding in the tri-cities.

Berlin. Oct 1O.-Although ex-King
Manuel has announced that his bride,
Princess Victoria of Hohenzollern,
will join him soon in England, rumors
are rife throughout Germany that she
has left her blue-blooded husband for

Princess Victoria is now i'll at her
fathers palace at Sigmaringen. Some
German papers broadly hint that the
real nature of her illness is not I'M

Another royal couple now in Ger
many seems also TO be having some
trouble. Princess Victoria Luise. tbs
kaiser's only daughter, and her hus-
band Of four months, Prince Ernst
OF Cumberland, are reported to have
had a quarrel not long ago. This
bride also has been i'll, and as a re-
suit of her illness it is now said that
hopes of visit by the stork will have
to be given up for some time. She is
with her parents at Potsdam.

destination of last night.
Shortly before o'clock last night
Deputy Sheriff Charles Dunlap, who
resides in Taylor Ridge, was notified
that two couples whose actions had
aroused suspicion we're on the Joe
Huber farm, a mile and half north
of the Ridge Dunlap Immediately
started out and found the members of
the open Air Cult" sleeping at the
top of a high straw stack. They had
burrowed two holes in the stack TO a
depth of three feet and were curled
up fast asleep. The deputy quickly
aroused them and brought them to
Rock Island.
WEEP IN COURT.
The girls departed from their homes
in such haste that they were not af-
forded an opportunity TO secure extra
clothing, and they presented a decid-
eddy rough appearance this morning.
Their dresses were dirty, ragged and
torn, and their hair had not been
combed since their flight was begun.
The girls first told the police that they
had slept every night in farm house,
but when the men were brought into
court it was learned that they had
slept in the open air for the last 10
nights.
The girls were laughing at first and
seemed 70 regard the matter as a joke,
but when their male companions were
led away to Jail, the Fifield girl broke
down and wept, moaning. q wish

sale, conducted each year by the Asso-
ciated Clarifies, the date of which is
set for the week of Oct 90 In other
years the rummage sale has been one
of the most prolific sources of. rev
enue for the carrying on of the work
at the Association house and unless
the general public assists in making
this the usual success, the work will
be greatly hampered. So far the
association has been unable to pro-
cure place for holding the sale and
the board is very much at sea as to
the proper course to pursue. Commit
tees have searched the city for a suit
able place and so far have been un-
successful. In case, however, that no
building can be procured, an effort will
be made to hold the sale on the Asso-
citation grounds. Collection of articles
for the sale will begin Oct. 20, and
any one having articles they wish to
donate should send a card with the
address to the Association house or
telephone and the wagons will make
the collection. The public is so famiI-
lar with the articles that can be dis
posed of, which include nearly every
thing imaginable, that the association
has decided to issue no hand bills
this year. Announcements will be
made in all the churches and house
to house canvass will probably be
made before the sale. Mrs. w. OAR
ling is chairman of the rummage sale
committee and she will be assisted by
members of the advisory committee,
and Mrs. Writ Taylor. who will re-
main in the city till after the sale,
and w. S. Parks.
WORK AT ASSOCIATION HOUSE,
The work being done at the Asso-
citation house is not fully appreciated
by the general public, which is ignor-
ant of its workings to large extent.
! The house Is maintained primarily as
an emergency home for children and
stranded women and those in need OF
immediate relief Recently a Jewish
family, stranded on the streets, was
given accommodation at the home and
is still there. Each case is thorough
| ly investigated before being accepted
at the home. The membership dues
of the association assist in carrying
on the work. but as stated before
much depends upon the outcome of
the rummage sale as to the future
maintenance of the association.

FREE LOVE CULT
IN STRAW STACK
Two Eloping Couples, Tramping
From Cedar Rapids, Ar
rested Last Night.
ON FARM SOUTH OF CITY
Girls Run Away From Home When
Parents Object TO Attentions
Of Men.

A vision Of bliss was rudely shatter-
ed for two clipping couples following a
long, weary tramp Of over 100 miles,
when the loye-lorn ones were routed
out OF a straw stack near Taylor Ridge
late last night and lodged in the Rock
Island city jail This morning they
were arraigned on disorderly conduct
charges and held under $500 bonds
each, their cases being continued for
a week. The principals In the free
love elopement are May Fiheld, aged
IS. daughter of Mrs. Anna Fifield, 1922
Eighteenth avenue, Cedar Rapids;
Emma Cooper. also aged IS, daughter
Of Mrs. Jennie Cooper. APO Seventh
avenue, east Cedar Rapids; Carl
Long, formerly Of Rock Island, and
Charles Radner. formerly a resident
OF Davenport. The girls parents and
the Cedar Rapids authorities have been
communicated with. Meanwhile, the
local police are making an investiga-
ticn into the highly colored life which
the young folks have been living since
their fight from Cedar Rapids ten
days ago.
MEET At CHURCH.
The romance began in Cedar Rapids
several months ago. The young men
left the trl-cities and secured employ
ment at Cedar Rapids hotel. Being of
a religious turn Of mind. they ofttimes
attended divine services at the Sun
shine Mission and there they met the
two girls. The acquaintance ripened
into a close friendship. The girls were
chums and were repeatedly in the com
pany of the tri-city young men. Final
ly Long resigned his position at the
hotel and moved to the Fifeld girls
home in order to be close TO the idol
of his heart.
Mrs. Fheld objected to the young
mans attentions towards her daugh-
ter and there were several stormy
scenes. The mother. so the girl al
leges. threatened to put her out of the
house. unless she ceased keeping COM
pany with Long. Then the elopement
PLOT was Matched. and last Tuesday af-
ternoon the girls stole away from home,
met their respective Lotharios, and
started on the journey to Rock Island,
where their husbands-to-be expected
20 land work. The plan was to marry
in this city.
SLEEP UNDER STARS.
AS the young men were without
funds. IL was decided 70 walk the en-
tire distance. The travellers walked all
day. and at night slept out in the open
