Hawk, Miss DeJong completed
an internship at the Women's IN

mand most of her attention in her
new work, DIR. DeJong said that
trachoma, hook worm and pelleg-
ra are most prevalent The hook
worm is due to lack Of hygenie
living, while pellegra is nutri-I
tional disease.
THE people there eat too much
corn bread and mo!asses and they
have too little idea Of preparing
vegetable food" said DR.. De Jon2.
Their idea of a hospital is &
place to die instead Of a place to-
be cured. We will interest the

police announced today that a
Police announced today that a
witness had found in the person
Of Mrs. II. r. Prather, who saw
an automobile with two men
leaving the neighborhood Of the
Renaker home the night Leon
Renaker, prominent Winchester
man. was murdered. She was
awakened by rays from automo-
bile headlight She heard one
man say, Il have finished him, p
or 1T" she could not determine
which. Automobile tracks have
been found leading from the
street up an alley to a thicket
near the rear OF the Renaker
residence.
The theory is Renaker was
slain by the handle from an au-
tomobile jack. The person who
is supposed to own the automo-
bile in question was asked to
produce his jack handle. He
said he had loaned it to young
man. \ pair Of trousers were
also found in the thicket. They
are being examined to determine
whether there are blood or oil
stains on them.
An additional $1,000 reward
was offered today for the appre-
hension Of the murderer. Mrs.
Renaler subscribed $1,000 and
Renaker's brother, Barry, OF
Cynthiana, $1,000. The Vim
chester Sun started the subscrip-
tion list with an offer Of $50. It
is expected an additional raise Of
1000 which with the $1,000 al
ready offered by citizens OF the
county and state viii make the
total $4,000.
Every clue that has been Sc
cured by the officers ana detcc-
tives is being siftcd to the bot
tom and with the information
that has been secured and add
tional evidence that is thought
available, the dectives and Off
GERS hope to throw some light
On the mystery within the next
ten days. j
The detectives who have been
in this city since last Wednesday
night left the city Sunday after
noon, stating that they would
return within few days as soon
as the evidence which they had
secured had been woven together
and they had had time to study
the matter over thoroughly.
1t is the suppostion that the
murdered man was struck with
the handle, which is detachable
from jack that was in the car
which visited the premises The
suspected driver of the car is the
son. Of a prominent farmer of the
county. He was queried in re-
gard to the jack i'll his car and
stated that he had loaned the
jack out to two boys.
The detectives and officers are
confident that the blow which
killed Renaker was struck with
the handle Of an auto jack.
The party who drove the ma
chine, the detectives feel at pre-
sent, remained on the outside of
the home and kept watch while
the other man entered the house
and committed the murder. |
That it was premeditated murder
the detectives and officers are
now confident, since the finding
of the stained trousers and that
robbery was not the motive, but
that after the victim had been
slain, what money he had was
taken.
The theory is also advanced
that the acoomplice who was
driving the machine did not
know the purpose of his partner,
but was of the opinion that he
was going to rob the murdered
