HEACY and CIBB ARE HELD
Men Accused Here of Robbing Ex-
Sheriff of Potter County Are Put
Under Bail To-day

Albert Heagy and John E. Gibb, Jr.,
Steelton men, this morning were heard
before Alderman C. E. Murray, in this
city, on charge of attacking and rob-
bing j. F. Higgins, former Sheriff of
Potter county, and each was held for
court under $500 bail. Tom Nelley.
proprietor of the Halfway house. a
Steelton hotel, went Gibbs security
and Heagy was released on a bond fur
nished by his father, who is a mute.
Higgins was on hand and positively
identified Heagy and Glib as the men
who. he said, struck him and then took
all his valuables-jewelry and cash
totaling more than $500. The crime
was committed in the White House lane
below Highspire, on the evening of
January 1s, while Higgins was vis-
itor in this city TO attend the inaugura-
tion of Governor Brumbaugh.
Higgins said he accompanied the
men on trolley trip to the lane upon
their representation that he would be
entertained at an Elks club house. He
said Glib made the first attack and
ordered him TO throw up his hands.
Heagy then finished the job while Gib5
riffied his pockets, the former Sheriff
said.
Higgins denied that his unconscious
body had been rolled onto the trolley
track and left there with the idea he
would be run over by a car. However.
he said he had been beaten into uncon.
seiousness and was in a dazed condition
when picked up by trolley crew.

Anonymous L e t ter
Causes Authorities
toStart Entirely New
Line of Investigation
BRINGS ANOTHER
GIRL INTO CASE
Information Secretly Given to District
Attorney May Lead to Identified
tion of Bones Found in Csllar-Still
Hunt for Bessie Guyer

An anonymous letter received this
morning by District Attorney NJ. E.
Stroup gave the authorities an entirely
new lead in thei- investigation to de-
termine the identity of the murdered
girl whose bones last Friday were
found buried in the cellar of the house
at 1873 South Fourteenth street.
The authorities regard the note,
which is written on piece of scrap
paper, as well worthy of their atten-
tiOn and, although the Investigators
have not entirely abandoned the theory
that the victim may have been Bessie
Guyer, the Meehanicsburg nurse girl
who was. employed by DR.. Charles E.
Ayers, a dentist, while he occupied the
Fourteenth street home, the new clue
points to the probability that it was
another girl who was murdered.
The detectives efforts to locate the
Guyer girl have thus far been in vain.
but they propose to continue the search
for her, but at the same time to fol
low up the new clue which points in an
entirely different direction.
The writer of an unsigned note was
particularly careful to conceal his or
her identity, Notwithstanding the fact
that some intimstion is made that the
writer's name will be given to the
proper authorities sooner or later.
The District Attorney, for the pres
ent, declines TO publish the contents
of the note, which, it is understood.
contains the name of girl other than
Bessie Guyer, and additional specific
information which the sleuths on the
case regard as of sufficient Importance
at least to warrant full inquiry.
There is some evidence that the per
son sending the note attempted to dis.
guise the penmanship. The brief note
is written on piece of scrap paper not
more than three inches square. It had
been folded in large piece of heavy
brown paper and carefully sealed, pre-
sumably to prevent its contents being
read by any one holding it to the light
before it reached the District Attor.

together with a gummed paper seal.

POWELL WITHHOLDS PAY
ON BIC ROAD CONTRACTS
Auditor General Unwilling to Recognize
Charges Alleged to be in Excess, of
Contract Prices Unless Compelled to
% So by Legislature

Auditor General Powell is viewing
with a good deal of eomplacency the
clause to compel him to pay bills Gas
per bill rendered. which was insert.
ed in the deficiency appropriation
measure to apply to payment for adver.
Eslng the Constitutional amendment
and lost in that bill, but which has
been revived in another measure relat.
ing TO payment of other state bills
This is alleged to be a feeler and fore
runner of some very large bills that
are IN excess of the contract prices for
paving, in which certain material was
used, and which the Auditor General
has so far declined to pay.
The story on Capitol Hill to-day was
to the effect that bids were made for
the construction of certain roads in
the state, one of the component parts
OF which was Warrenite. The parties
who obtained the contracts were un-
able TO use Warrenite, it being pat
ented paving material, unless they paid
royalty to the owner of the patent.
and in order to meet the demand for
the royalty it is said they submitted
bills above the contract price and are
now demanding their pay Gas per bill
rendered.
Auditor General Powell saws he has
thus far declined to be party to any
such transaction because he does not
think it is fair to the State. and he
will not pay until compelled to do so.
If the bill providing that the Auditor
General shall pay bills "as per bill rem
dered y goes through, then, it is appre-
hended, the big road bills with their in
crease because of the payment of royal
ties to the owners of Warrenite will be
submitted, and the Auditor General
may, like conditions being presented,
have to pay out the money "as per
bills rendered. -

Decisive Fighting-Much of the
Credit for Victory in Lake District
Is Given to Young Troops

Berlin, by Wireless to London, Feb.
II, 80 A. Nifty thousand pris-
oners, besides many cannon and ma
chine guns, were captured by the Ger
mans when the Russian Tenth army
was defeated in the Mazurian lake dis
trict, East Prussia, according to a state
ment issued at general headquarters
here to-day. The text of the communi-
cation follows:
In nine days battle in the
Mazurian lake district, the Russian
Tenth army, consisting of at least
eleven infantry and several cavalry di-
visions, not only was driven out of
strongly entrenched positions east of
the Mazurian lake plateau but was
forced back across the frontier.
Only Remnants of Army Escape
"Utterly defeated at almost every
point only the remnants of the army
managed to reach the woods east of
Suwalki and Augustowe, where they
are being pursued. The number of pris-
oners taken has not been ascertained
but certainly exceeded $4,000. More
than fifty cannon and sixty machine
guns besides an unknown quantity of
war material were captured.
Emperor William was present dur
ing the decisive fighting in the center
of our line. The victory was won by
veteran East Prussian troops, assisted
by other troops who were young for
such work but proved their worth.
"The achievements of these troops
under fearful weakness. marching by
day and night and fighting against such
a stubborn enemy are beyond all
praise"
