The men deny any connection with the
double murder and the police are
working upon the theory that at least
one of the bandits who killed the two
men and wounded William Muessel,
was a negro.
On the office floor where the shoot
ing took place black mask was found.
The mask was made to entirely cover
the head and this the police believe
wa, done to conceal the color Of the
robber. It was also discovered that
two men tried to steal a buggy at
C-umstown, near here, shortly after
the staying. One OF these men was
negro and the two answered the
description of the bandits.

RUPTURE AVOIDED
BELIEF OF Vienna

VIENNA (via Amsterdam and Lon)
Dec. S1.-Belief 10 expressed In Aus
atrian circles that rupture with the
United States over the sinking of the
Ancona has been avoided by the con.
cessions contained in the Austrian re.
ply to the second American note. But
while the Austrian reply may result
in a continuance Of the cordial rela-
tions between this country and the
United States, it has intensified the
feeling on the part of those who we're
opposed to conciliatory reply.
However, in view of the dangers
which best the central powers, it is
claimed that those who were strongest
in their opposition to any concessions
in the Ancona affair are ready to bury
their differences in the cause Of pa
triotism.
Baron Burian, the foreign minister,
makes 1t plain that Austria Hungary
agrees with the United States that the
laws of humanity must be upheld and
the other pledges given as such. 1t is
believed, as will meet the approval
of President Wilson.

BAVlS ARGUES
FOR ERECTION
OF BOTH SPANS

President Bavis of the board Of pub
lie works today urged that some agree
ment be reached at once ~ to the
location Of the proposed South Rich
mond bridge.
II think it will be great mistake
If the county commissioners do not
decide to build the south end bridge
and the new Main street bridge at the
marked. For the development of
south Of National avenue, the south
end bridge is as important as a new
span across the river at Main street,
and it's construction should no longer
be delayed. The controversy over the
location of the south end bridge has
continued entirely too long"
Mr.. Bavis also asserted that if the
two bridges were constructed at the
same time the cost would be much
less to the county.
There is not enough money in the
special bridge fund to meet the ex-
pense of the proposed south end bridge
span, but Mr.. Bavis expressed the
opinion that the commissioners should
at once arrange to float a bond issue
to provide the deficit, which Is not
great
The county at the present time has
practically no bonded Indebtedness,
the last bonds issued for the building
Of the court house having been retired
last fall Mr.. Bavis said that the levy
which had been maintained by the
county for the retirement of the court
house bonds could be continued to pro-
vide q fund for the construction of the
new Main street bridge.
