BODIES FOUND ON FARM
MAY BE HOLMES VICTIMS

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 12.-For more
than 20 years the disappearance of
Minnie Williams was a mystery. She
was believed to have been one of the
victims of Herman Webster Mudgett,
alias II. II. Holmes, whose castle" at
Sixty-frst and Wallace streets was be-
lieved to have contained the bodies of
several of Holmes victims.
William Raetz, while plowing on
his farm near Momence, Ill, uncover
ed a human body. The body is be-
Iieved by the police at Momence to
have been that of Minnie Williams,
Holmes third bigamous wife, whom
he had hired as a stenographer and
was alleged to have slain.
Two oSler bodies were also un-
earthed. At the time of the Holmes
investigation he was believed to have
had a private graveyard near Mo-
mence. Holmes was hanged in 1896
in Philadelphia for the murder of
William Pietzal and two children.

CLIFFORD LEADS
TREASURER RACE
Champaign Democratic Candi-
date Runs Well in Down
State Districts.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 12.-Belated re-
turns from downstate apparently es-
tablished beyond dispute that w. c.
Clifford OF Champaign is democratic
nominee for state treasurer. From the
start he was the indicated winner but
the plurality of 6.622 rolled up by Pc
ter Bartzen in Cook county made the
politicians regard the outcome as du-
bious.
The late returns, however, establish
Clifford as leading in the field in nine
congressional districts downstate by
margins large enough to place him in
first place by a comfortable plurality.
For the republicans. the returns
when more nearly complete increased
the lead OF Andrew Russell for state
treasurer. He led in Cook with 10000
votes and is leading in twelve down
state CONGREGATIONAL distEicts.
over clerk OF the supreme court
there Is still some democratic doubt
A w. Crawford of Hillsboro, on the
early returns was the indicated win
ner, but Dennis y. Horan OF Chicago,
"H.-H." candidate, has not given up
hope. Horan ran first in Cook with
-usla- votes anu OEdNIOTO ran ulnln
with 4,S70.
Horan leads in one downstate dis
trict and Crawford in six. w. p. Ryan,
who ran third in Cook with 1854
votes, is leader in two downstate dis
tricts. and George Self. who ran eighth
in Cook, leads in three outside dis
tricts. With 16 candidates splitting up
the vote the result may be doubtful
until final figures are compiled.
Charles w. Vail of Chicago won the
republican nomination for the supreme
cIerkship.
Caroline Grote is apparently demo-
cratic nominee for superintendent of
public instruction, although here. too,
the returns are too incomplete to scat
ter all uncertainty. She ran sixth in
Cook county with 1925 votes and is
leader in nine outside districts. Robert
G.. Moore OF Carlinville, who ran
fourth in Cook with IL, ,534 votes, leads
in four districts downstate. while w.
p. Murphy of Chicago. who was first
in Cook with 23,750 votes, leads in
two districts outside.
For the republicans Francis p. Blair.
the incumbent, is increasing a major
ity already overwhelming. He leads
in thirteen of the fifteen downstate dis |
tricts and in Cook rolled up a major
ity of 37.25S.
