"HOT OUE GLUE." SAYS MOO; ALLIS0I1 MUHDER i ll (Continued FronvFngs Ob.)

possibly discovered the man, who, according to one of the clues, was known by Mrs. Allison. , - This man, it la thought, to protect himself from discovery, murdered the woman. - It is believed that he tried to choke her, possibly both fighting- as hard as they could, for Mrs. Allison's clothing is badly torn and there are two black and blue places on her neck, also several scratches. It Is said that if this supposition Is true, It accounts for the assault theory. The bouse is located several hundred rods from the roads which pass to the north and east, and Is even more dlsantly removed from the neighboring residences. '.. It is easily seen from the road, but from the fields In when men were working, and the nearby houses, it is almost Impossible to obtain a clear view, because of the .trees. Clesr View Obscured. Mr. Allison and his hired man were plowing' In the field, due east of the house and across the canal. With the exception of a view ' of , the house, which can be obtained from the northern corner of the field, the trees and outbuildings practically hide the house from any other point which may be token In the field. There were parties working In the field to the southeast of the house, but their view was even more completely hidden. Grant Clark and family, and Neil Boyer and family, live north of the Allison home, but the orchards situated around the house, prevent a clear view. The house, Itself, was an old frame building of seven rooms. On the south side was a porch by which the kitchen was entered. A log cabin, used as a summer kitchen and store room, is lo cated at the west end of the ruined house. Mr. Allison said that he had a sum of money of about $50 In an old box in one of the west rooms. It would have been a very easy matter for the fiend, or fiends to enter the house from the southwest or west, without Mrs. Allison's notice., Was Coal Oil Used? On the porch of the house, there was located a two gallon coal oil can, prac tically filled, and an old hatchet, two things which are thought to have figured In the affair. That the oil was used in setting the house on fire Is not doubted, yet no one says positively that the odor of coal oil was detected. What portion of the house was first set on fire Is not known, but It Is believed that the fire was started In one of the -west rooms. .,";,--"-. The coal oil can cannot be found, but the hatchet was found, in the ruins, near where it was always kept As a weapon for murder, Mr. Allison thought that possibly an iron pin might have been used, but the three answering the description of those which the Allison's bad In their home, were found. , ' Mr. Allison said that when he entered the house, he pushed In the kitchen door and stumbled over his wife's body. Her head was near the door In a pool of blood. Her feet were close to an old couch. V A Peculiar Discovery. Over her, was a home made woven door mat. This protected her from the fire to a considerable extent, but one of the mysterious things connected with the affair is that Mr. Allison found the mat and sections of his wife's clothing on fire, when the fire In the house was some distance away, and burning along the walls. Unless the mat was soaked with coal oil and lighted, the authorities can not account for this circumstance. 1. Allison said before both coroner 'Bramkamp and others that at the time he discovered the. house. was on fire. the horses had been unhitched and that he hastened to the house, calling to his hired man to follow him. Allison was the first to reach the house, but was .followed a few minutes later by DuBoise. The husband said that DuBoise was reluctant about helping In the matter and Was greatly excited. . Statement by Du Boise. DuBoise, when asked about this, said that he put the horses away and when asked why ho stopped to put the horses away In a matter so urgent as saving the house, replied, "What would be done with the horses; allow them to run away?" The man began working . for Allison the second week in March, receiving a small, competence weekly. HUH UIB uwu U HUH (WUk OHWUU that he had known Da Boise tor about two years. , Du Boise did help about the house, after being urged, assisting in the removal of the newly purchased piano and other articles. , Mr. Allison said that after he realis ed his wife was dead and he had taken her into the yard, placing a blanket over her, he rushed Into the house and saved his trunk with valuable papers and his best coat. Very little was saved, however, as the fire rapidly gained headway and prevented entrance into the rooms. '-, '-'V-:-' The authorities state that they were told that a can in which a small amount of money was kept by Mrs. Al lison, was taken from Its hiding place. Sir. Allison said to a reporter that his wife took money to bed with her. Hidden Mousy Known Of. He said that he and his wife had never disclosed the fact that sums of money were kept about the house, but people generally, who visited the place. yesterday afternoon, seemed cognisant Cf this fact. On Friday, Mrs. Allison and the youngest child went to Carthage, Ind., to Ytstt her ':, parents. On Saturday evening. Mr. Allison and his eldest son went to Cambridge City, where he at tended the lodge session. Before their leaving. Da Boise said that he was go ing away, but would return early Saturday night When Mr. Allison and his son returned. Da Boise had not re turned and did not do so until Sunday. Mr. ATXsooi said that Du Boise had tsM he rti vlsittex friends In Milton. Ttm rt-tatkra horns by lira. Alii-

son was the best , She had on a number of occasions, this winter, always In company with one of her children, visited her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Levi Addison, of Carthage. Ind. It has been susplcioned that possibly someone in this vicinity might have been connected with the affair, but the authorities do not give the story credence. She returned from her last visit to Carthage on Monday and had expected to celebrate ber forty-fifth birthday anniversary next Friday by a gathering of friends. Z :sw s Negro Running. At about 1 o'clock, the fire bell at Cambridge City was sounded, to form a posse, an alarm having been given by Mrs. Joseph Clevenger of Milton.

Mrs. Clevenger was driving about a half mile southeast of Milton yesterday morning about 11 o'clock and noticed a negro jump over a fence and run rapidly across . a field. She thought little of this incident until at noon when her husband told her of the murder. She then told of seeing the fleeing negro. Two posses, each with an automo bile, hurried to the scene. Marshal Drischell of Cambridge City headed one party , and went to Connersville, without discovering any further developments' to this clue, v The other party went southeast and its mission was likewise fruitless.. A negro from Philadelphia was susplcioned, but on apprehension gave a satisfactory account of himself. Mrs. Joseph Copeland, living three-quarters of a . mile from the place, also furnished a clue of two strangers who visited , their place about 11 o'clock, but this also proved of no consequence. Bloodhounds Are Used. The Indianapolis bloodhounds were brought to the scene about S o'clock. They were not placed upon any scent at the house but taken to the point where Mrs. Clevenger saw the negro jump the fence. A large posse was with the dogs and during the night reports were received of the hounds having a rather warm scent, below Feeder dam and south of Lockport, until late at night The dogs seemed lost for a part of the time, continually circling. However the dogs started early this morning and went due east to the river, which runs west of Centerville, but at a point several miles to the south, where the scent was lost . at 5 o'clock this morning.. The dogs were rested and the scent taken up on the other side, early this morning. The dogs were to be taken back to the Allison homestead today and an effort made to run down another clue, which seems as good as that of the negro. . Another Wsrm Clue. Jesse Mustin. a resident of Cam bridge City, while searching the premises for tracks, soon after the fire, found a handkerchief, about one hundred feet west of the house, and in a clump of trees. The handkerchief was torn and was identified by the Alli son children as being one In which their mother sometimes tied her gd.d watch and also kept her loose change. It Is the Intention ot starting the dogs at the tracks which are nearby and which strike out to the southwest for the creek bottom. I.' A. Gormon, superintendent of Richmond police, is confident that this will result in a difMVWArv of imnortanftA. A rather good description of the soles of the shoes worn by the party which took this trail has been secured. The soles were filled with hob nails. The imprint In the soft mud is like that of a man running. The track is lost at a point where the man jumped the ditch and took out over the grass. The owner of the dogs says that the scent will still be in the tracks and believes that the dogs can follow this very easily. Came From Henry County. Mr. and Airs. Allison came to thi? vicinity about twelve years ago frtfn a farm, below Knigtatstown. - At that time they were in very poor circum stances,' but he has prospered since. He has money on deposit and has some first mortgages, it is said. They were prominent in lodge circles, she being a member of Pocohontas Ladies at Cambridge City, and he Is a mem ber of the Odd Fellows. Red Men and Modern Woodmen. She had been a member of the Christian church for several years and he joined but a few weeks ago. ' Charles Revalee, of Richmond, a young man who was employed on the farm up until last January, was ques tioned by Chief of Police Gormon, yesterday. Revalee stated that the relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Allison was .the most pleasant .'. Imaginable, Never a cross word was had between them. They seemed to be Ideally mated. Mr. Gormon visited Mr. Allison here, last evening and was entire ly satisfied that Revalee's statements were true. DEPENDABLE PROPRIETARY MED ICINES. It must be admitted by every fair; minded. Intelligent person, that a medicine could not live and grow In popu larity for thirty years and today hold a record for thousands upon thous ands of actual cures, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, with out possessing great virtue and actual worth. . Such medicines must be looked upon and termed both standard and dependable by every thinking person. : f).

No fewer than thirty-seven events are Included in the program of the seven days meet and the foremost speed, kings of the country will contest for honors on the saucer-shaped track. It Is on this track that the drivers hope to attain a speed of one mile in thirty seconds, which would establish a new record for a circular course. The track Itself is constructed of wood and shaped like a sauceh. The stretches have been eliminated and the course forms a perfect circle so that all the driver will have to do will be to set his steering wheel at the proper angle and then let the car out as fast as It will turn a wheel. The track is 'one mile long and 45 feet wide at every point in its circumference, and is built at an angle of 18 degrees. Inside this board trade and on a level with the bottom of the "saucer," is a thirty foot dirt track, where a num All AUTO ACCIDENT Results in One Death and Serious Injury of Five Persons.

The match between these two men will undoubtedly be the greatest automobile race ever seen in this country. The principals are the most daring racers in the country and the cars they expect to drive In the contest are marvels of workmanship. Oldfield carried off the laurels at the recent meet in Floria, including the breaking of the world's record on a one mile straightaway course. He accomplished this feat in. his big Benz car, which develops close to 200 horse power. This car looks more like a torpedo boat than it does an automobile, having a pointed bow and stern to cut down wind resistance. De Palma has a number of cars, but is basing his hopes on. his new 200 horse power Flat, which contains all the latest speed contrivances in its makeup. Both men have unenviable records, .

It Defied the Attack mf the Killing Iguana. Snakes on the pampas of South America have many enemies. Borrow, tag owls feed on them, and so do herons) and storks, which kill them with a blow of their javelin beaks. The tyrant bird picks up the young snake by the toil and, flying to n branch or stone, uses the reptile as a flail until its life is battered out. The large lizard of the pampas, the Iguana, is a fa mous snake killer. It smites the snake to death with its powerful talL Mr. Hudson in his "Naturalist In La Pla ta" tells this story; One jday a friend of mine was riding out looking after his cattle. One end of his lasso was attached to his saddle. and the remainder of the forty foot line was allowed to trail on the ground. The rider noticed a large Iguana lying apparently asleep, and. although he rode within a few inches, it did not stir. But no sooner had the rider pass ed than the trailing lasso attracted the lizard's attention. It dashed after the slowly moving rope and dealt it a succession of violent blows with its tail. When the whole of the . lasso, several yards of which had been pound ed In vain, bad passed by,' the iguana. with uplifted bead, gazed after it with astonishment. Never had such a won derful snake crossed its path before. THE HEDGEHOG. Taeties It Employs. In Making a Msal of an Adder. The hedgehog is , the possessor of tastes which, like Sam Weller's know! edge of London, are 'extensive and peculiar," says the Scotsman."; Scorning fastidiousness, it can make a hearty meal of nearly any insect and is one of the vertebrates which can tackle the cockroach. For ; effectual extermination jpf. beetles and crickets it Is as useful" as a mongoose among the rats, but it is not generally known that it has a partiality toward snakes and adders. . The methods it employs for the at tack are interesting. Hsvlng come upon the sdder. It goads that reptile to the offensive and at the first dart immediately rolls Into n ball. The adder is then left to attack the spines, in which encounter it naturally comes off second best. After awhile, when the hedgehog feels that his antagonist has exhausted his power, it once more opens out and makes a bite at the adder's back, thereby breaking Its spine. It then proceeds to crunch the whole of the reptile's body by means of its powerful jsws, and after that it Is said to start at the tall and devour its prey. . 8ubtle Flattery.

They marveled then, and they marveled still more when at the end of the baldheaded man's dinner the waiter returned with a dollar bill. "Ninety -nine baldheaded men in a hundred can be worked that way," be said. "If the customer doesn't see the hair himself I call his attention to it and make him' think It fell out of his own bead. 'The fact that he had a hair to lose so appeals to his vanity that he loves me for finding it and gives me a tip big enough to cover the cost of a dozen pistes of soup." Chicago Tribune.
