Several clues have been run down and as many arrests made, but none of the men exactly fill the description given by Night Captain Musser. what from every point of view gives assurance of the first real clue is now engaging the attention of the sheriffs office and the police force, but no hint of what it is has been given to the public.

Two persons are being kept under surveillanse and it is thought the real murderer will be arrested in a few days. Acting Chief of Police Tony Musser is considerably worried over the fact that it has been hinted that he killed John Struble by mistake.Noth-ing could be farther from the truth. The bullet that killed Struble was a 44-caliber, and the revolver carried by Musser that night was a 22. r. Musser had loaned the revolver he usually carried to a citizen of Clinton and it was not returned until after the night of the murder.

FREE SHOW ROT UP TO EXPECTATIONS. The moving picture show given on the streets of Kenney last Thursday evening was far below the standard which the merchants had been led to expect beforehand. The pictures that were given were good enough, but the operator struck a run of bad luck here. His machine was not in the best working order and caused the reproduction of several of the films to be interrupted in the middle of the scene, when he would have to stop and repair the machine. Then before the last film was run entirely through the gas gave Out, owing to a leak in the tanks.

However the crowd (which was a large one) was good natured and realized that the operator was doing his best to overcome the difficulties in his way. LIFE AXO ADVENTURES OF A-RO. 1. A true story of thrilling adventure stranger than fiction. A-No.

For God and souls. The above article, we suppose, was written by the traveling preacher, Rev. Day, who has been visiting Kenney annually for the past eight years and at each visit holding a public meeting on the village street. At least his name was signed to the article. Rev.

Day held his meeting here last Monday evening, and Tuesday morning, when the Gazette office was opened, the note printed above was found slipped under the door. We print it without comment, except to say that while the reverend gentleman has not met with much financial success here, Kenneys citizens as a whole are free-hearted and open-handed when they feel that a worthy cause is brought to their attention, and especially so if the recipient be a local resident.

The elevator men here are paying $1.00 per bushel for new wheat, which has begun coming in this week. The present high price of wheat is quite a contrast with the low price of hay.

Some oats are reported as containing rust. CRATE 60T THERE; BUT 10 HOG.
