(Palladium Special) i NEWCASTLE, Ind., March 28. ! Rumors after rumors are being run down to secure a trace of little Kath-'. erln Winters, the nine-year-old daughter of Dr. W. A. Winters. Frantic searches have been made of the en-; tire city and smaller towns near here but all hare been to no avail. Some believe the child was murder- j ed by a degenerate. Some say that ! she was taken by gypsies, and to this j Dr. W. A. Winters, the father, holds1 fast. Others believe the child was 1 taken away by relatives from another j state, a theory in which the father takes no stock. j Mayor Barnard and his chief of! polioe, James Bosloug, and Sheriff: Kirk, who are working most industriously to solve the mystery, accept j every theory as a possibility and are

trying to run it down. No one knows who employed Harry C. Webster, the Indianapolis detective. He has disappeared from the city, and is expected to send word to Newcastle at any time now. Dr. Winters was married to a young

woman named Whlsler and this wife ' was the mother of Catherine, the missing girl, and her brother Frank. At the death of his wife, Miss Ida Chalpant, a half-sister, and Mrs. Eliza Whlsler, the mother of Mrs. Winters, i kept honse ,for the" doctor. One of the visitors to the home occasskmaily was I Ivan C. Whlsler, a brother of the dead wife, a half-brother of Ida Chalpant 1 and son of Mrs. Eliza Whlsler. All of ' them were fond of the children. Later Dr. Winters married Miss Birdie Rlt-j ter, an estimable young woman of this city. I Mrs. Eliza Whisler and her daugh-! ter, Miss Chalpant, moved to Platts- j Tille, Wis. Mrs. Eliza Whisler has an estate valued at between $7,000 and $3,000. By the terms of a will Mrs. Eliza Whisler has a life interest In ! this property and at her death it goes to her daughter, the first Mrs. Winters. Mrs. Winters being dead, her two children, Catherine and Frankie,

inherit this property, along with Evan C. Whisler. Based on these facts, the detectives are working on the theory that the little girl has gone to Wisconsin and that she will be found there. The last seen of Catherine was at

the spot not far from the Pennsylvania railway station, a few minutes before

the passenger train for Chicago was

due. Five minutes before the arrival of the train, James Peed, a veterinary

surgeon, saw at the station a child that resembled the Winters girl. "I saw a child," said Dr. Peed, "that I thought was the little daughter of Walter S. Chambers and was about to speak to her when I saw my mistake.

QUITE DULL

Business in Richmond is at a standstill as a result of the complete demoralization of railroad service. The Starr Piano company has been closed several days and today the Westcott

Motor car company shut down. Other factories are laying off their men for lack of storage space. Big Inroads are being made into the supplies of the local wholesale groceries to supply the wants of this city md the flood victims in neighboring towns, and the local bakeries report their supply of yeast has about been exhausted. However there is no danger of a food stuff famine, for the dealers In all kinds of products have large enough supplies to meet local and foreign demands for a number of days. Refugees from Dayton and . other flood stricken towns have begun to arrive in Richmond and they are seeking work, but for the time being there is no employment for them. They are being fed and clothed. Superintendent Johnson of the Municipal plant says there is not the slightest danger of the plant suspending service because of . lack of coal. He says he has 1,500 tons on hand, enough to keep the plant In operation for two weeks. The Light, Heat & Power company is not quite so well supplied but can operate for several days.

BROOKS AT HEAD OF COMMITTEE

The meeting of the Progressive committee-men held in the Court House last night resulted in the elec

tion of the following officers: Howard Brooks chairman. Charles Potter, ricechairman. Roy Fry secretary and R. L. Moore, treasurer. ' The question before the members for discussion was the primary election of government and the nomination of city candidates. Last night's meeting was to determine what plan

the committee will pursue. An executire committee consisting of the four officers and eight memfbers at the meeting was appointed by the presiding chairman to delve into the intricacies of the situation. The general trend of sentiment of ' the Progressives was in favor of a primary election law so that all parties concerned might meet on election date and choose their candidates. ; The next meeting will be held in two j weeks from last Thursday.

The Winters child and Mr. Chamber's little daughter look very much alike, but when I saw that It was not Walter's daughter I passed on. The girl I saw had on a little hat with flowers on it, and wore a red sweater, I don't mean to say that It was the Winters child, but it answered the description of her very much. The conductor of the train was John Rallsback. He does not remember the woman and litle girl seen by Mr. Pickering as among his passengers, though they may have been. Dr. W. A. Winters is making a hard light to find his little one. Night and day he is following every possible clew and working out every suggestion. "I am thoroughly satisfied," said Dr. Winters, "that Catherine was stolen by the gypsies and if she Is aver found that will be the solution of her disappearance. While I am not overlooking any other theory, I am using special efforts in the direction of the gypsies. It is said there were only four gypsy wagons, but many people tell me that there were Sve. I have a description of this fifth wagon, and that is the wagon I am trying to find, and when I do I ' believe I will either find Catherine or learn her fate."
