NOT “WANTED” IN OHIO

Buckeye Authorities Send Out No invitation for the Return of Kuhns. SO THEY ASSERT AT FORT WAYNE Long Strike in an Evansville MillStandard Oil Company Leasing Lauds In Clinton. Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 13. —The local officers place no credence in the theory that the Logansport desperado was Marvin Kuhns. The latter, they claim, Js still at his brother's house near Albion. No effort has been or will be made to arrest him by the local officers, who are firmly convinced that for some reason the Ohio prison management is willing that he should go fret* and will take no steps to have him returned. Neither the local police nor sheriff have even been notified of Kuhns’ escape, or asked to keep a lookout for him; as is invariably done in such cases, and consequently they are making no attempt to apprehend the escaped convict. Washaah People Think Differently. Wabash, Ind., Dec. 13. —(Sheriff Stewart, of this county, has been scouring the vicinity of Wabash for the last twenty-four hours in quest of the would-be murderer of Patrolman Dean at Ix>gansport. Little credence Is given to the story from Auburn and Fort Wayne that Kuhns is hiding at his brother’s home near Albion. Tom Wilkinson, the policeman who captured Kuhns several years ago, after a running fight with the desperado, wounding him as he fled, says he does not expect to encounter Kuhns in Ind iatia. ;: —* — l — Kuhn- Hettsr Look a Litt'e Out When Kuhns was sentenced he expressed the sincere wish that he might live to serve out his sentence and return to kill Wilkinson on sight. But for him, Kuhns said, he would have been at liberty. When Wilkinson was asked if he did not fear assassination, at Kuhns’ hands, he replied In the negative. ‘“But," said Wilkinson, “If I ever get my eye on him 1 will shoot him as quickly as I can draw a bead; that is. unless he gets the drop on me. I exj>ect to take no chnnces with Kuhns, who is a thoroughly bad man.” Trial of the Dehl* I» at Hand* Muncie, Ind., Dec. 13. —Judge Barnard, of Newcastle, was in Muncie yesterday and was informed by the state attorneys that they would be ready for the calling of the case of the state vs. the Dehl brothers, of Anderson, on the charge of murder. In the Henry county circuit court Monday next, and the case will likely begin, after many postponements.
