Indianapolis, Sept. 26-The search

clew as to the mans fight was receiv-

Ind.
Late Tuesday afternoon youth,
apparently nervous, called at the gen.
eral delivery window of the Goshen
postoffice and asked for mail for W.
r. Anderson. The description of the
indianapolis murderer, the clerk de
clared, fitted Anderson. Before leav
ing the postoffice the youth asked
persons standing near the shortest
route to Three Rivers, Mich.
The confusion caused by the arrest
in San Francisco of Fred BrokaW

the murders, was cleared up to GER
tain extent today when Probation OF
ficer Rolan Murphy of the Los An

that the photograph reproduced

yielded another sensation today when
1t was learned that the skeleton of a

Wreckers, tearing down the resi-

stormy history of Colonel Smell, who
died about seven years ago, and for
whose fortune a famous fight was
made in the Courts of Illinois.

bones, when the house wreckers found
it.

two leaves known of the so-called sec

leaves and fragments OF leaves wrap
ped In a leather binding from which
the boards had been removed. On in
vestigation 1t was discovered that the
whole of the printed matter was from
Cations press and the binding itself
was from his workshop. There were
thirty-eight leaves Of the Boethius,
printed about 1478, and there appear
ed to be little doubt that the binding
originally belonged to the Boethius
and that the careful disintegration of
the boards had resulted in the remain

Among these fragments these six
copies of the two leaves before re-
ferred to were discovered One leaf
was still pasted on the binding. The
"Lyf of our Lady" contains ninety-six
leaves and there are eight copies. now
