MURDERER IS STILL AT LARGE

Lloyd Schuler, who murdered VIM.
G.. Matusch on Sunday evening, March
20, is still at large. After considerable
time had passed the Supervisors of
the county posted the magnificent
sum Of $3.50 for the arrest of the flee
ing murderer. Delaware county can
afford to pay more for the arrest of
man who deliberately and in cold
blood takes the life of his brother
in-law. We believe that there are not
very many men who would risk their
own life in attempting to apprehend
and arrest man of Schuler's type
without suitable compensation. The
sheriff's office has appealed to the
governor for an additional reward for
the arrest of this man Schuler. A
man who takes the life of another
should be run down and brought to
justice as speedily as possible, and at
all costs. According to card received
from the Warden of the nenitentiary
at Sioux Falls, South Dakots. Schuler
served one year in that institLsssJn for
forging check. He was sentenced
on February 21st, 1919, for term of
one year.
In the absence Of Sheriff Pride,
Deputy Sheriff Dutton has worked
diligently on the case, and has Sc
cured some valuable information
which will aid materially in running
down the murderer.

NEW STEAM ENGINE FOR AUTO
MOBILE .f -.
Cedar Rapids GaZette)

(Cedar Rapids GaZette)
I. Crabb of Independence, Iowa, has
been working on an experiment for
the last few months in the form of
steam engine for automobiles. The
work has been done for the Mercury
Motors corporations, of Pittsburg, Pa,
and at the present time he has 1t
finished so it has been tried out. Mr..
Crabb has built the complete engine.
The test can was steamed up many
times from cold boiler in 60 seconds
and an accurate test of the water
showed that the auto can travel 500
miles on one filling of the gallon
water tank. ~~
The high cost of gasoline one OF
the most interesting claims is that
the engine uses any low grade oil
such, as kerosene, fuel oil, or any Of
these combinations. They claim
that 5000 pound car should give
fuel mileage of IL to ii miles on
gallon. The boiler is, practically in
destructible and has steaming ca
pacity sufficient to maintain steam
pressure of 70 miles an hour on Or
dinary roads or to be able to climb
mountains at the rate of 35 to As
miles an hour.

he realized for the first time that she

like her, for this was the age of
woman's development, and yet to him
she stood alone. she was unique; he
was giving her more of his thoughts
than he had ever devoted to a woman
in all his life.
