ORIN DAY NOT FOUND.

Watseka Paper Connects His Name With an Illinois Murder.

Harry Arrick, who was at first thought to be mortally wounded by Orin Day; has continued to improve and it is now practically certain that he will recover. He was removed from Dr. Goodwjn’s office Tuesday to his home in East Monticello. Blederwolfs ambulance was used and the transfer was quickly and safely made. Orin Day, his assailant, is still at large. Sheriff Price and Marshal Dobbins made a fruitless trip in search of him last week. They went to Hammond, Black Oak, Ho-

bart, ‘ Liverpool, Gary and South Chicago, at all of Which places He had been reported, but at none of which he was found. He had staid all night at Black Oak, not far from Hammond, the night be-t fore the officers got there. He was

traced thence to South 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 ifamed Mel Bradrick at Crescent City. The Watseka Times-Democrat of Tuesday says 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 Orin Day is the third member of the. gang. A brother ol the murdered, man has had a Pinkerton detective at work on the case and i't was through him that the Wisconsin arrest was made. The Watiseka ■ paper says that the officers there report that Orin Day' had one 32-caliber and two 44caliber revolvers and that the shoot- 1 ing was done with the smaller gun.' —Monticello Herald. . ■■
