DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT,

Hift Exact Whereabout* Not Revealed. Supposed to He Dangerously III at the Home of a Relative—South Dakota Officials on Their Way Here to Appre-

hend Him.

Crawfordsvn.i.R, Ind., Jan. 25.—It is probable that William W. Taylor, the defaulting treasurer of South Dakota, has been located near this city. TIk authorities of that state are now on their way to Crawfordsville at the instance of John G. Overton, justice of the peace, and ex-county superintendent and a prominent citizen. Overton claims that he has Taylor located beyond a doubt, and is in no way troubled about his escape. He is dangerously ill. Overton first notified the South Dakota authorities last Sunday, and yesterday received word that the attorney and a United States marshal would arrive here tonight. Overton’s alleged knowledge did not leak out here until last evening, when official and press telegrams began to pour iu. Overton has two others associated with him in the find, but refuses to give their names. He asserts that he learned of Taylor's whereabouts by the merest accident, and that he is absolutely sure of his game. Beyond explaining that lie is ill at the home of a relative, he will say

nothing.

Taylor was raised in Lafayette, 20 miles from here and has scores of relatives in Montgomery county. If in this vicinity it is likely ho is near Almo, a
