I LAPnKTK. Ind.. Dec. 1. Full I investigation of the charze that a

man named James Gibbons committed murder nearly a half century a so, following the allegation made by Mrs. Manraret Carter of this city, will be made by the authorities of Porter county. It was near the village of Tassinon? in that rountv that Mrs. Carter alleges her husband killed a peddler, who had stopped for lodinff at their home, and then buried his body in a hidden away place. The peddler is alleged to have had several hundred dollars In his possession, and it was to obtain possession of this money that Mrs. Carter alleges her husband murdered the stranger. Mrs. Carter not only lays the crime of murder to her husband, but she further alleges that the fate of her son is a mystery, Cibbons alleging that he died, while the mother believes that he may be alive, and that his whereabouts is being conceased from her. According to the story of Mrs. Carter, which is stranger than fiction she became the huskmd of

C.ibbons early in the seventies. It

was in iS7b she says, that a stranger stopped for lodging at their home. The latter made a display of the money which he had with him, and it was then that Gibbons, she alleges, killed him. "It was for the sake of my boy." said Mrs. Carter, "that I did not reveal the crime at the time of its commission, but conscience will not permit, me to longer remain silent, and I now want the mystery of that crime cleared up and to know whether my boy, now mown to manhood, is alive, that I want investigation made." The inornincr the stranger was killed, according to Mrs. Carter, her husband came into the house with blood all

0. Viirn Hp compelled her. she:

says, to remove the bloodstains from his clothing. It was only a short time after the murder, the woman avers, that Gibbons disappeared, taking her child with him. She waited for years for him to return, but nothing was heard from him or the child. It is said that Gibbons went to California, where he was successful in making a 1-irge fortune, later returning to Indiana, and it was comiricr 4ack that caused Mrs. Carter to uncover the dark deed of nearly a half century ago. The authorities of Porter county will make careful search of the farm near Tassinong. where Gibbons lived in the 'TO's. for an unmarked grave. Should the body of an unknown man be found, as Mrs. Carter declares there will be, if search is made, further action will be taken.

The congregation of St. Peter's Catholic church in this city has succeeded in raising $51.000 of the J "0,000 which the pastor Rev. George M. Schramm, will expend in the erection of a new church. It is planned to begin the construction of the new edifice in the early spring and have it ready for dedication before the close of the year. The present church building of St. Peter's church is one of the oldest t-ditices in the city.

leases have been taken of several thousand acres of land near Iaj orte Porter county line for oil explorations. A number of wells will be sunk. Indiana capitalists having become interested in the project, with the beli T that new oil fields will be four.-' in a territory where a number of wells have been 1 reviously sunk and where oil has lien found, though not in paying quantities, for several years.

With democratic and republican candidates already in the held for the March city primaries consider

able interest has been awakened in the coming municipal flection. Republicans being groomed for the

tayoraltv include William IMum-

1 eck. present street commissioner; John II. Harding, superintendent of waterworks, and David II. McGill. present mayor, though the latter declares he is not a caiilidate. In democratic circles the report is well defined that Lemuel Darrow, previously mayor for five successive terms, will again be a candidate, while Herman V. Sallwasser. prominent attorney, has already announced his candidacy. At a rei ent meeting the tnocrats took the preliminary steps for the organization of a permanent democratic club. It is planned to open room, furnish them with pool and billiard tables, and keep them open day and night, paving the way for effective work in the city campaign and election.
