GIRLS MURDERER

Lover in Wisconsin
Case.

BIZ United Press
PRAIRIE DU CHEN, Wis. Dec.
7.-Erdman Olson, 1S-year-old college
student, was sought today through
out the land, formally accused by a
coroner's jury of the murder Of his
sweetheart, Clara Olson.
The coroner's jury, composed of
farmers, reached their verdict five
minutes after evidence had been pre-
sented to them showing that Clara
Olson came to her death the evening
Of Sept. 8, when she disappeared
with Erdman. Her body had been
taken from a knoll a quarter Of q
mile from Erdman's fathers farm
house last Thursday. A physician

of her head had been crushed by

The evidence which jurymen said
led them to the conclusion that Erd-
man had killed Clara Olson, was a
letter found tucked in her bosom, af-
ter the body had been found. The
letter was unsigned, but was identi-
fled by Clara's sister as having been
written by Erdman, son of a wealthy
tobacco planter. The sister said she

NIGHT PATROLS,
PLAN TO CHECK
HOLD-UP WAVE
Grocery and Filling Station
Robbed-$1, 200 Fur
Theft Reported.

With the hold-up of a grocery
store and a filling station and a
$1,000 burglary added to the list of
bandit activities today, Police Chief
Claude F. Johnson planned extra
measures to check the crime wave in
Indianapolis.
= There were seven hold-ups here
over the weekend.
Johnson said he was organizing
additional police squads to patrol
filing stations and grocerys during
the night and early morning hours.
Grocery Robbed
The new grocery hold-up occurred
early today shortly after John Dick
erson, manager, opened the Stand
ard Grocery at Leota and Bates SITS.
Two men, one carrying an auto
matte pistol; staged the hold-up and
escaped with $25 from the cash reg
lister.
Lieut.. o. D. Thomas reported that
he was unable to obtain many facts
regarding the robbery from Dicker-
son, the manager keeping busy wait
ing on customers, evidently seeking,
to make up the loss by an increase in
sales.
Only meager descriptions and de-
tails concerning the men were
secured by police. The armed man
covered Dickerson, while the other
took the money.
Cleaners Looted
Sidney Bernstein, proprietor OF a
cleaning establishment at 9O6 S. Me-
ridian ST., reported ladies' fur coats.
valued at $1,000, stolen from his
shop during the night.
The rear door had been broken
open. The loot included one Per-
sian lamb coat, $500; one black Hud-
son seal coat, $3.50, and several less
expensive garments.
Theater HOld-Up
The barrel Of a revolver didn't
look so bad to Miss Edith Davies,
617 Highland Dr., in charge Of the
box office at the Uptown Theater,
4217 College Ave, who was mostly
concerned in saving the cash. She
told Lieut.. Fred Winkler and squad
that the bandit, about %, wearing a
tan overcoat and cap, with collar
turned up, walked up to the window
and thrust the gun through. AT
the same time he reached in and
seized a stack Of money, but she
also seized it and all the bandit OBJ
tanned was one $40 bill that slipped
her fingers. Miss Davies said she
then screamed, stepped on a burglar
alarm and the bandit ran south on
College Ave.
Another filing station was added
to the hold-up list, Monday night,
when two bandits secured between
$55 and $50 at the Standard Oil
station at Davidson and Michigan
SITS.
Looked Like Twins
Paul McBorton, IS S. Butler Ave-,
attendant, said the mel, looking like
twins stepped into the station, ask
ing to warm themselves.
He was busy, getting ready to
close for the night. and suddenly he
heard one of the men say, I'VE
want all your damn money"
Looking around he saw one bandit
holding a revolver and the other
about to pull gun from his pocket.
They made him open the safe, took,
the money and left. They started
to steal an auto in the driveway, but
gave up the idea, when they were
told 1t had lock on it.

things in the automobile world.
It might be an excellent thing
if the lords of organized baseball
would permit a third team in
New York and Chicago, cities
capable of supporting at least
that number.
Detroit, with more than a
million Inhabitants, should have
two teams alternating every year.
It is barely possible that Pitts
burgh might support another
team, though that is a problem.
But, with the present majors
securing the country in vain for
the necessary players to make up
their own teams, where in the
world will this "third major
league" find the performers?
Coaxing them from the Amer:
lean and National leagues will
only weaken all three and the
fans won't take long to sicken OF
the whole warfare, just as they
did when the Federal League,
starting with great beating OF
drums, staggered to a sorry end.
According to the announcement:
the proposed "third major" will
include Buffalo and Baltimore.
Neither city is capable of sup
porting a major league club.
Both have had major league base
ball only to quit.
Baltimore has howled for major
league baseball for years, ever
since John McGraw pulled his
stars out of the American League
and took them to New York, yet
today Baltimore fans are not sup
porting Jack Dunn, who claims
that his team is fully the equal
of any major league club in the
country. Baltimore is pennant-
weary right now. Give that city
weak "third major league"
team and all the automobile stock
gamblers in creation could not
force Baltimoreans into the ball
park. They would be bowling for
return to the better balanced
races in the international League.

beautiful dream born of jealousy

fortunes are made annually by

I hate to leave Lake Pleasant.

Spectator is loath to have Tun-

no fighter ever gained greater pop
ularity in a community than Tun-
ney gained here. Everyone VINO
met Tunney is sold on him and Is
roofing for him to win the cham

We had a glimpse Of the real

the world that a sweeter looking
fighter never stepped into the
ring. There was something OF
