ton last evening. He went from there to Brownsville tbls morning and thence to Connersvllle where he no tltted the official! at Cambridge City that be would catch the train out of Connersvllle, which arrived at Cambridge City at 11:18. The train was met but the man failed to arrive and telephone messages were Immediately sent out to Brownsville, Abington and Conneraville In an endeavor to locate the redskin. - While many are of the opinion that tbe Indian is a fake, others maintain confidence In him and declare that cases have been known where murder

ers have been located tnrougn meaiums. An instance of this nature Is cited. A murder, very similar in nature to that of Mrs. Allison, was committed in Rush county last fall. For weeks the authorities were baffled and absolutely no trace of tbe murderer could be learned. A Remarkable Case. As a last hope tbe authorities sought a clairvoyant, who stated that

the woman's husband, whose name

was Wilson, had committed the deed. Tbe man had almost proven an alibi to the complete satisfaction of the authorities when tbe accusation against him was made. He eventually

confessed to the murder and was sen

tenced to serve a long term In prison. The authorities DeTiUi i 1' X.Thund-

er Water may possibly be one of a

troupe of Indians, who perhaps traveled with a wild west show, which recently disbanded. , The IS year old white boy who travels with the Indian, is an orphan, aecording to Thunder Water. The redskin declares that he became attached tq the youngster and as the lad had no relative or anyone on whom he could depend for a living, he adopted the boy and is caring for him like a father.

Gets Half-Million As Settlement

AN INDIAN SUSPECTED. Authorities Get Hot Tip That Looked Good, But Alibi Wrecks It. Cambridge City, Ind., April R Swimming around In a mill pond and grasping at the straws, was the situation of the Wayne county, Cambridge City and Richmond authorities, yesterday and last night, in their efforts to ferret out the mystery of the murder and iWMBihlfl assault of Mrn Ifronlr Al.

llson, Wednesday morning, at her home on the Callaway farm, one mile south of this place. One clue, which up to an early hour this morning, looked to be the best yet formulated, was run down- only to result In the complete exoneration of the party susplcloned. Owing to the fact that a full blooded Indian, giving hla name as Big Black Chief Thunder Water, wore clothes which answered the description of the man which Mrs. Joseph elevenger. of Milton, saw running across a field, south of that place, on Wednesday, tbe Indian's whereabouts and actions on the day of the murder were investigated by the authorities. ' It was found that the man was in Centervllle 1 all day Wednesday, with the exception of about two hours In the afternoon, when he went to Richmond. Where the Indian Was. The Indian had been In Milton on Tuesday morning, delivering an address before the high school pupils. He, with a small Indian child, went to

Cambridge City the same day, whether he walked is not known, but in any

event, he had to pass the Allison home,

unless a very circuitous route was ta

ken. He staid in Centervllle on Tues

day night and lectured at the high

school on Wednesday morning, and

' afterwards went to the town hall and arranged for an entertainment, which he gave that evening. The possibility

that he could have been absent from

Centervllle for a few hours on Wednesday morning, before the fire was diecovered, was eliminated this morning, when Sheriff Meredith and I. A. Oormon, superintendent of police, visited

that place and Inquired of a number of

responsible parties, as to the Indian's

whereabouts. , Moterman Saw Negro. Another clue was furnished the au

thorities yesterday and one which may

result in a better identity of the man

' whom Mrs. Clevenger saw run across

a field. The motorman on the "dinky," which operates, between Milton and

Cambridge City, said that on Wednesday morning, about S o'clock, he saw a negro standing at the bridge which

crosses the canal, near the Allison

home.

At the time the man paid n atten-

uon to in is, ne sua, it being a common

occurrence for strangers to be along

the canal. He says that he can remem

ber that he saw the man. but further

than that he was a negro, he says', he

could not give one additional bit of In

formation, which might be of value for

a description. , The best description that the authorities have of the man, who Mrs. Clevenger saw, was that furnished by Mrs.

Dr. VJfclcITo for years tbe Standard Remedy for acuta and chronlo Bheumstlam.

BOYIIIG SENATORS

HER SPECIALTY

Mississippi Woman States That It Was Just, Her "Regular Busines"

Were Installed Last Evening

at the Home of the Local Lodge.

HER PRICES WERE VARIED

Clevenger herself, yesterday afternoon. She said that at tbe point where she

saw the man, he was at least two hundred and possibly three hundred feet distance. He wore a wide brim light colored hat. She thinks that his coat

was a dark gray. As for his stature and weight, she said that he was medi

um weight and heavy set. To the casual glance which she gave the man, she

believes that he was neither a light nor a dark negro.

What made her take particular no

tice of him was that instead of Jump

ing over the wire fence at the post, as Is the common practice, he climbed

over, or rather fell over, at a section

between the two posta, He would run

and then walk very fast.

She thought then, that he was hur

rying across the fields to head oft some stock. She looked for stock but could see none in any direction. She

says that she believes It was between 12 and 1 o'clock Wednesday, when she

noticed the man.

The common opinion is that someone

living in either Jackson or Washington townships, could tell all about the crime. However, what suspicions the authorities have had against parties living in these townships, has been re

moved by the alibis furnished by the

suspects.

8till Working on Case. The authorities returned to Cam

bridge City this morning. Tbey are

working on an entirely different clue from any publicly advanced as yeet, and while they have not much con

fidence in this new theory, the author

ities are going to find out all that is

possible.

One of the officials anticipated go

ing to Carthage, Ind., today, if nothing developed here, and inquiring into the

frequent visits which v Mrs. Allison

paid her parents. It has been suggested that Mrs. Allison was always rather well supplied with moneys and " that someone in that neighborhood might have known that small sums were kept

in the Allison home.

The matter of a reward, to be offered for the capture, or information which will result in the capture and convic

tion of the murderer, will be considered by the county commissions. . The Cambridge City residents will ask that

the reward be made as large as possible. A sum of f 1,000 is suggested. The

corporation may Itself, offer a reward of large proportions. . That a reward

should be offered Is not questioned, for the safety of every housewife, living in remote sections of the country, is at stake, should the officials be unable to discourage such crimes. - ' Du' Boise Is Thankful. George DuBoise, the farm hand on the Allison place, says that he is one of the moBt thankful men in the country, according to Cambridge City residents. He Is said to have remarked yesterday that had he been unable, by .Mr. Allison's testimony, to have proven his whereabouts at all. times on . Wednesday, morning, he would have been arrested. V, v ..;, . That violence might occur, even at this . date, , seems . probable. . Still, . it can not be said that the citizens have suffered the desire to deprive the law of its victim, in the, event the slayer is arrested. Cambridge City residents are not go

ing around with bowie knives. stuck In

thelr.belts and revolvers in their boots, or carrying repeating rifles and shotguns. ,. The funeral of Mrs. Allison was held today at the Christian church of, this city. Rev. Van Winkle of Milton, conducted the service. Mrs. Allison had been an active member In the church. Burial was at Knightstown, where several relatives reside. Service a Public One. The service being public, was largely attended. No doubt some, who had not the opportunity to see the remains at the undertaking establishment of Neal Wright, came through curiosity. The remains were viewed by hundreds last evening and the sight was most sickening. . Mrs. Allison's face brought home to every visitor the bra-

tallty of the crime and after viewing It

Mrs. Emma Miller, wife of the multi

millionaire Standard Oil man, General

Charles F. Miller, whose picture Is

shown below. Mrs. Miller is said to

be planning to establish a permanent home in the West, following the sepa

ration from her husband and the set

tlement of $500,000 upon her, which

has Just become known. It is under

stood that the settlement was made

with the understanding that she would

drop all legal proceedings against her husband.

AND SHE WAS PAID IN PROPORTION TO THE SIZEjLOF' THE CROP" AS SIDE LINE WOMAN WAS BOOKKEEPER.

Jackson, Miss., April After a nearly 'continuous all day session the senatorial investigation into the bribery scandal was continued until late

last night The star witness was the ''mysterious woman," Mrs. C J. Neil, who swears that she arranged the

meeting between Senator Bilbo and Du-

laney.

When asked her business she re

plied: Bookkeeping, handling real es

tate and selling Mississippi senators."

She described .how she introduced

Bilbo to Dulaney: how the latter told her to feel out "the weak legislators,"

and see if they could "be reached."

She swore that she was to be paid "ill proportion to the crop," and said .... sfc

she naturally desired, a "big crop." Detectives Follow Her.

Mrs. Neil told how she went to New Orleans to confer with those interested

how she was followed by detectives and

declared she believed her life was in

danger.

She was cross-examined during the

entire afternoon. The cross examina

tion consisted of questions tending to attack her credibility as a witness. She denied with much heat all the charges.

She said she did not know it was a crime to bribe an official and declared she did not believe she did wrong, for

the men she sought to bribe were al

ready corrupt.

An attempt to get her to name some

other senators was voted down by the

senate on the ground that the invest!

gatlon was Into the Bilbo charges only,

A recess at G p. m., was followed by a

resumption of the examination at 8 p

m. .. ..

No witnesses were present at the

night session and the Sergeant-at-Arms went on a hunt for them. The quest was unsuccessful and the senate adjourned without taking any further testimony.

every effort should be made to bring
