DAY MAY BE A BANDIT; WANTED IN ILLINOIS.

Mun Who Shot Harry Arrlek May Have Bern Implicated In Murder In Illinois. Lji i Monticello Herald. Harry Arrick, who was at first thought to be mortally wounded by Oren Day, has continued to improve and it is now practically certain ihat he will recover. He was removed Jrom Dr. Goodwin's office Tuesday to fair home in East Monticello. Beiderwolf's ambulance was used and the transfer was quickly and safely made. Oren Day, his assailant, is still at large. Sheriff PMce and Marshal Dobbins made a fruitless trip in search of him last week. They went to Hammond, Black Oak, Hobart, Liverpool, Gary and South Chicago, at all of which places he had been reported, but at none of which he was found He had stayed all night at Black Oak, not far from Hammond, the night before the officers got there. He was traced thence to Gary, where all trace of him was lost. It now appears that Day is suspected as a member of a gang of 'three bandit brothers wanted in Illinois for the murder of a man named Mel Bradrick at Crescent City. The Watseka Times-Democrat of Tuesday says that three men named Day are now suspected who were residents of Iroquois county living between Onarga- and .Thawville but who disappeared at the time of the Bradrick murder. One of them named James Day is now held at Marinette, Wis., pending extradition to Illinois, and another is thought to be in that state. From the accounts of the Monticello shooting affray the officers out there are convinced that Oren Day is the third member of the gang. A brother of the murdered man has had a Pinkerton detective at work on the case and it was through him that the Wisconsin arrest Was made. The Watseka paper says that the officers here report that Oren Day -had ond 32-caliber and two 44-caliber reand that th</ shooting was done with the smaller gun.
