STILL ON THE TRAIL OF W.H. COHEE

Clarence Fate Failed to Find Him in Indianapolis Ent Got Clew That May Land Him. Clarence Fate, who was deputized as a deputy sheriff with the special mission of locating W. H. Oohee, the land agent charged with embezzlement, did not find his man In Indianapolis, but gained some information that he hopes will aid him in locating the fugitive. Mr. Fate’s Interest is the fact that his mother, Mrs. George Fate, went on Cohee’s bail to secure his release from jail. . : < _ Cohee is a native of Frankfort and is related to a well known family of that name in that city. He is reported, however, to have passed up that city in recent years and to have left behind a reputation that causes considerble doubt as to his honesty. Mr. Fate learned that he deserted a family and that there is grave doubt about the woman that was with, him in Rensselaer being his wife. - Clarence received a tip that the woman that was with him here resides on a farm near Lafayette and that Oohee is at her farm for seclusion. He communicated with police officers at Lafayette and they have been on the lookout for him and this Monday morning Clarence, accompanied by L. A. Harmon, who states that he was defrauded out of a $320 commission by Cohee, went there in search of him. Inasmuch, however, as Cohee seemed so badly frightened when arrested, it is thought probable that he will not be found. s ' The trial of C. P. Wright is set for Wednesday of this week.
