WASHINGTON CLUE +.
|N.EvAROYCASE.
Authorities Run 1t Down, But
Investigation Produces
No Results.
GRINDST0NE NOW FIGURES

Detectives working on the murder
of little Eva Roy. at Burke station.
Fairfax county. Va, ten days ago. last
night ran down q clue that led to this
city. The tip given in one of many
letters received by the authorities at
first gave promise Of producing re-
suits. but the investigation proved it
worthless.
Sheriff Allison and Commonwealth
Attorney c. Vernon Ford. it is stated,
have not the slightest idea of releas-
ing Lou Hall, held as a suspect in the
case. before the grand jury convenes
the third Monday in September. un-
less the crime should be fastened on
some other person before that time.
It is admitted that Hall is held wholly
upon a chain of circumstantial evil
dence gathered by county authorities
and private detectives from this city.
The chain. it is claimed. has been
materially strengthened during the
past two or three days. Much i'm
portance is attached to the visit paid
the Hall house Wednesday by Sheriff
Allison, Detective Morgan Bradford
ana OtneES participating la ehS AAt

Grindstone Mystery.
There has been no explanation as
to why the small hole was dug in
the ground near one end Of the Hall
home and covered with a grindstone,
and the subsequent removal Of the
stone. 1t is believed. for the purpose
of removing something that had been
hidden in the ground.
That the stone was removed Mon
day or Tuesday is made certain by
statements Of persons interested in
the investigation who were at the
Hall home Sunday. They declare the
grindstone was over the spot where
the hole was dug when they were
there that day. and that it was re-
moved between that time and We'd
nesday, when the sheriff and others
visited there and made complete
search.
Detective Morgan Bradford's theory
that the body of the girl was fasten-
ed to the tree to make it appear that
she committed suicide is shared by
county officials. The act of leaving
the body in such a position convinces
them that the crime was committed
| by a person residing in the neighbor-
| hood.

FARMERS TAKE WATER 9 MILES
Snow Does Not Furnish Water to
Drink, Farmers Say.

The lack of rain late in the sum-
mer is now causing much distress
among the farmers. At first it was
thought that the snow would melt
and furnish some water for the els
terms, but fate is against all. This
morning small boy drove a large
S00-gallon water wagon to town
from farm six miles south and fill
ed it with Sand Springs water.
dad says the snow will help the
wheat all right" the little fellow
said, but we haven't any water to
drink. My horses had a hard time
coming to town. / bet it'll be mighty
hard pullin' for them to take this
back. One load of water doesn't
make much of a showing in a L.
foot cistern, either"
The city clerk said this morning
that he had not sold any water Sat
urday because the weather was such
that the farmers could not come to
town. Starting with today, however,
the business will pick up again.
