HE MURDERED HIS MOTHER

AND THEN CUT HIS OWN THROAT. A Community Shocked Other State Xiwt Another Cat Fnk Th GraT Robbing Case Thrown from a Car liroke Jail Struck Oil. TJloomingtox, April 3. Special. This community was shocked this afternoon between 0 and 4 o'clock by the announcement that Ward Demaree, a younjr man about twenty-five years of acre, who lives with hia father in this city, had murdered his mother and killed himself. A visit to the scene cf the tragedy revealed a horriblo eight. On the bed lay the mother with her throat cat from car to ear, while on the iloor in two pools of blood lay the lifeless body of the murderer and suicide with Lia own throat cut. Mr. Demaree wa3 of a melancholy and retiring disposition and was 'regarded as slightly unbalanced mentally. His mother was upon a bed of aicknes3 and had been there confined for about a week. Xo one was present, except a little daughter and sister, who was unable to tell how the tragedy occurred. It is supposed that while the mother was sleeping, the eon, in a fit of insanity, cut her throat and then used tho razor on his own. The mother seemed to have died without a strui'tfie. When neighbors arrived at the house soon after the little girl g3e the alarm both were dead. A Mr. Taylor committed suicide in this same fatal house about thirteen years ago. XT W AS AN liRROR. The Estate of th Lte A brier FI. Brown 'ot ao Large as Generally Keported. Delphi, March 31. Special. A special in The Sentinel recently from this place in reference to the estate of Abner 11. Eowen conveyed an improper impression ot the facta. There has been no evidence leading to the conclusion that the deceased left a fortune, mostly in personal property, of $.", 000,000. The deceased left a larpe amount of real property, the value of which has net been given to the public. Nor has an inventory been taken ly the administrator showing a large amount of personal estate. The figures jriyen in the dispatch were imaginary. The mortgage records show a lare amount of money at interest, very much cf which has been paid, but the mortgage records were not satisfied by tho decoaned, hence & large number of suits are heinx brought Dy the administrator on the face of the mortgages as recorded. Notes which have been fully paid more than ten years ago are now being sued upon, the facts of which were well known to the administrator before suit was brought, but the fact of the mortgage records bein unsatiflied and a c-oud resang on the title to the lands, justifies the proceedings. But at this point the Leirs of the estate claim to be the owners of all the notes and mortgages owned by Mr. Eowen at the time of his death; by grift a few days before his death, and they claim that a division among them has been made, hence they are resisting the collection by the administrator in his euits and the question of the ownership of the notes has not been determined. About two years ago the county commiseioners entered with a contract with three attorneys (who are also attorneys of the administrator) to ferret out property which had not been lifted, and ior their cervices to receive a tutu equal to 25 per cent, of the amount collected. Pursuant to raid contract they have lodged with the county auditor a statement of unlisted property running back to 1881, alleged not not to have been given in to the assessor by Mr. Bowen aggregating S2.0OJ.000 and the administrator notified to show cause why the same should not be placed on the duplicate. The writer of the dispatch referred to may have avenues of information which will justify the statement that the heirs packed up their possessions in trunks, boxes, etc., and fled into other ctatee, but if he ha.-, he is the onlv person outside of the family eo favored. A thousand rumors have been alloat ever fince the doath of Mr. Bowen, but nothing reliable came out of them. The amount of money taken away, if any, is unknown except to the heirs, ami as to the changing of their residence this is a mere presumption. If the heirs are the the owners of the property in dispute, it is theirs to do with as they like. If the property belongs to the estate, especially the evidences of debt, the administrator iu entitled to it. If tho tax claim is a just and legal one, the administrator of the eame can resort to real property to raise funds, if not sulficient if personality comes into bis hands. OutBide of tho tax claim tho debts are small against the estate, and if the tax claim is unfounded and uncollectable at law, the duties of the administrator are about at an end. When the question of the ownerchip of the notes and mortgages is eettled, the real amount of unpaid notes will be ehown an 1 a little idea of the value of tho estate will be known. It can safely bo aid that tho proceedings of administra tion will never reveal tho worth of the estate. Con.1 lenco ia the financial abili ty of the bank is unlimited. A FEMALE VETERAN. pn Went to the tar la Male Attire and Now Want a Tension. Elkhart, April 2. Special. It was announced in The esti:f.l recently that lira. Hooker had applied for a pension on the ground that she had enlisted early in the late war and had continued in the army until tho war closed. Her story aa told by herself is as follows: "I was about twenty yeara old and living in Tiffin, O., at the time I entered the eervice. and was induced to become a soldier so that I could be with my huihand. When President Lincoln made his first call for three-years troops in 1S01 my husband en listed in company F of tho Fourth Ohio regiment, while he was at work at Findlay. At that time they were recruiting for the eame company in Tiffin and hearing that a man named Charles Dewey, who had enlisted, wanted a substitute I dreseed myself in man's clothes and r.ered to go in his place. He promised to pay me $.'X.O, but never gave me but $100, end as he died while I w as in the army I could not collect the balance. That is the way 1 became known as Charles Dewey and I did not have to pass an examination because Dewey had already been exam ined. My husband s real name was Jen lamin II. Drown, but he enlisted as Rich ard II. Ireland and was known by that name m the army. We went to the first battle of Dab's Dun. I remained with the regiment until I was wounded just above the right foot at the battle of Antietam, when I went into the hospital corps, as I could not inarch any more. My husband was wounded at the same battle and we were together most of the time until he died from the effects of his wound. Vfe were both wounded again at Mission ridcre by the bursting of a 6hell, A piece ci which struck ine on the breast

bone. My husband's wound was worse

than mine, a large piece of fle-h. beinT torn oil" from his thiph by a fragment of the ehell. After the war, while I was living at Tiflin, Gen. Gibson, my old com mander, obtained a widow a pension tor me, which was taken away after I married Mr. Hooker. He did not know that I perved in bin rep-iment an Charles Dewey, because 1 drew the pension as r.Sizabcth Ireland the widow of Uichard II. Ireland. My maiden name was Mary F.. Clark and I was weli-known in Tiilin. At the timo I served in the war I was slender and had no trouble in passing as a man ; in fact no one ever detected me to my knowledge." A HOCSIER GORILLA. Recent Discoveries Slid In a Car In Jen. nlngs Cunnty. Vesso.v, April 3. Special. This - is one of the oldest towns in Indiana and is surrounded by rock-ribbed hills. Years ago a subterranean cavern was reported to have been discovered by a man residing near here named JJarnes, which ? he claimed to have explored for a short dis tance, discovering a large, tall form, somewhat resembling a human, but appearing to be naked and covered with a tuft, or growth of hair. Barnes was so frightened that he fled from the presence of the image, whatever it was, and was so ridi culed when ho told his Btory that he never revealed the secret of the location of this cave. The story has now been revived by a startling discovery made yesterday by Alexander Shepherd, a real estate dealer, who was showing a farm to a prospective purchaser. doing up a deep ravine, whose bed is covered with 6tone for a long distance, thev accidentally discovered a small en trance, or hole, that went underneath a large hill. Procuring a lantern from a neighbor, they entered the opening, with some difficulty, and soon found themselves inside a large and lotty cavern, the rooms guttering with stalagmites and stalactites, like other caverns of its character abounding in southern Indiana. After passing through numerous chambers, each more elaborate and beautiful than tho one just gone through, they stopped to gaze on the magnificent epertacle tliat preeted tbem on every hand; but suddenly their admi ration turneti to horror, and ineir nair Mood on end, as thev discovered only a few feet from them the huge form of what seemed to them to be a eorilla. or somebein rest-nibling a wild man, naked, and covered appareutly with a rugh coat of brown hair. After jtazing on the intruders for a mo ment, it gave a low. guttural snort, and went ambling off into the deep impenetrable darkness of the cavern. It appeared to be over six feet in hiurht. After this Strang being disappeared, the explorers turned to the right and discovered what appeared to be a store-room, which was found to contain piles oi pota toes, corn and wheat, and bnes of fowls, and in another roin, adjoining this one, was found numerous bones drv with ag . For a lomr time, almost nightlv, strange noises have been heard in the locality of the deep wood surround ng this subterranean cavern, and all attempts to fathom, the mystery proved a fai.ure. No one could ever discover the source of the noigrt and dogs refused to investigate it. tanners in the locality were losiug their products almost nightly, an I no one kuew where thev wt-nt. It seemed that in making its nightly incursions it always followed the stony pathway of the stream leading to ihe cavern, and this accounted for failuro to trace him to bis hidiug place. lears ago, a w ild man, or a similar personage, inhabited Trimble county, Ken-tuckj-, and later, Jefferson countv, this state, adjoining this (Jennings; county. and for some years, now, no trace of mm has been known. This beiug is believed to be the same. A large party is being organized to explore the labyrinth of the mysterious cavern, and discover the character ot its occupant. HE TOOK POISON.

Each man was called upon to eive an account of his movements on the dav of the murder. !Sol Neideller, tho husband of the mur dered woman, was the first to be called. lie stated that he left home oarlv on the day of the 11111 der, Wednesday, March "5, and that bin wife was nil riirht wiien he left. On his return at night no smoke wns to be eeeu coming frotn the chimney, and on entering the house he found hia wife in tl:B south room, lying on the floor with her clothes partly thrown over her head and two buiet ho es m her body, tome blood was on tho wall near by. The bullet in the head had entered at the top of tho ekul! and had come out just above the right eye, tearing away considerable llesh with it. Xeideiler says that he at once notified the neighbors, only toppimr to p ace his wife's dress down in proper position. The neighbors ca i e as quickly as possible ami found that the body bore signs of havinur been criminally assaulted by the brute who had murdered her. Her hand was unnaturally cramped under her bodj-, and there was some indications that ehe had attempted to defend herself from the attack. Her bonnet lay upon the bed a though she had just come in from some work and thrown it down. Mr. Neidefter was clear and straight forward in all his evidence and promptly answered all questions. . Of the twenty-six persons who were ex-amim-d nothing was given agaimt him except the statement made by James True that he had ptepped into Neidelfer' house about Feb. 1, and had seen a revolver lying upon his mantel-piece. This caused considerable excitement, as Keide er had stated that he had had no revolver in his possession since last October. True also said that in the presence of his (True's) son. that NeidefTcr hart told him that he had a revolver at home and that his wife knew how to use it, but when True's son was called to testify he could not substantiate what his f.ither had told, though bis father tried (by speaking to him) to remind him of it. He stoutly affirmed till the last that he had not heard any such conversation. It is the general impression among tho neighbors that Neideltcr and his wife lived peacefully and happily together. On i he day of the sale witnesses stated that ho was natural, cheerful and happy in all that he did. So far, no testimony that would show who the gudty person is has been civen. About three thousand dollars will be raised at once and the most strenuous efforts will be put forth toward detecting the murderer and bringing him to prompt justice.
