OBITUARY. • After weeks of p tin and suffer-j ’ iug wih a c mplicution of disease Christena Miller the beloved and esteemed auaghter <>f Mr. and Mrs. Michael Miller, departed this life at the home of her parents two and 'undone half miles west of Monroe | January 17, 1904 at the age of I thirteen years 6, months and 23 n days. Her death came uimxpcc*od • to her many friends as the nature " of the disease held her firmly within _ its grasp and prevented her possible recovery. Early in the fall ■ she contracted measles, She never fully recovered from the disease when she was stricken with that .dyeaded disease. Typhoid fever. ! She had sc-iio ly rojoveie 1 when the pangs of pneumonia fastened its death grip on the young invalid and recovery seemed impo sible. Her sickness was about fifteen weeks duration. Everything was dore that loving hands and tender hearts I could render. All to no avail, She i bore her suffering with great pa i tience and was cheerful and bright until the angel of death relieved her suffering. She cotnblete her school work in the common schools and was taking a course of studies in the catholic schools of this city this winter. The future looked bright and a life of usefulness was opened before her; a few short days and all was changed. She was fast becoming one of the most popular young ladies of the country and will be greatly missed by her large circle of friends and the St. Marys church of which she was a member. "To know her was to love her'' she I leaves a lathe, mother and sister, and a large number of friends to mourn her loss. The floral tribute ; were many and beautiful and are but sm;i|l tokens of the high esteem in which she was held. The funeral services were held last Thursday at the St. Marys church Father Wilkens officiated. Grander 35996 Grandor is a sensationally bred ; voting stallion owned by A. N.

lIMMBEMMtf , i.. <• Detective Kuesport at South Bend Dying From His Injuries. — ---- Carl Wenkcvvsky, a Car Thief. Identified as the Mai Who Shot the Detective. A Quantity of Stolen Goods Wks Found in the Wenkowsky Home. South Dend, Ind., Jan 26. —John II , Kuesport, Lake Shore railway detec tfve, who was shot and dangerously wounded some nights ago, has ident! tied Carl Wenkowsky as the car thief who shot him. Committed to jail at the same with Wenkowsky were his two brothers-in-law, John and Peter Shultz, seventeen and twenty-one years old respectively, for supposed complicity in lhe same offense. A quantity of stuff, principally foods, alleged lo have been stolen from the company, were found in Wenkowsky’s home, and also a "billy,” which Is supposed to have been used In knocking out three Lake Shore brakemen in the yards of the company within recant months. Wenkowsky has a prison rec-'i ord. Kuesport’s condition is not satis-1 factory, and there is a probability that i the charge against Wenkowsky will be changed to murder. THE COILS TIGHTENING Bedford Police Gee Light Through Murder Mystery. — Bedford. Tnd.. Jan. 26. —A faint ray of light is breaking through the black clouds that hang like a huge pall over the mystery of Miss Schafer's murder. The police believe that they have at last established a motive for the crime; they are satisfied that a tall man in a long overcoat, who was seen lurking in the vicinity of the murder is the murderer, and that this man is the one who was annoying Miss Schafer. The officers decline to mention the name <-f the "suspect, and also decline to say what has been the resuit of tlic investigation. The theory upon which the police are now beading ail their energies is that the man who killed Miss Schafer was capable of dealing a terrific blow; and that he knew hist where to strike a fata! blow. Further, that this rnan---was enamored of Miss Schafer and that she had repulsed him. The idea of the police is tli-it this man, brooding ou r his passion for the yo mg woman, determined to have an interview with her and watched for her on this par ttcular night as the one best suited for his purpose. That he had made up his mi.ut to kill her if she again re- < seated his advances. The tall man with the long overcoat was scon by. al least thne persons in that locality, I 1 according to lhe testimony before the 11 court of inquiry, and there is no doubt in the minds of the jstlice but that he is the murdorer.
