from Alex Keebler, alias Katy. ex-
convict. who is being held in con-
nection with an attempt Thursday

Following the inquiry by Marshal
Head. Katy is being held under
$4,000 bonds until the preliminary
hearing Thursday morning. His
brother. Andrew. is held as wit
ness. as there is nc proof of his
completely in the plot.
There is practically no doubt Of
Katty's guilt" declared Marshal
Head Though he had no quarrel
with these particular Negroes, he
has been in trouble with several in

valuation OF S1.98O.O00. Under the
state law. stocks in foreign corpora
tions are taxable in Indiana, but IL
