Circulation Over 4,800.-—Largest in TWO ARRESTS MADE FOR KACHICK MURDER Andrew Kachick and Harry watson Charged with Serious Crime. THE HEARING ON SATURDAY Arrests Cause Much Excitement at Snow Shoe--Prominent Men De- clare Prisoners are Innocent--De- tectives Must Prove Their Case. Wednesday morning, September 12th, 1906, the mangled body of John Kachick was found along the railroad tracks at] Clarence, near Snow Shoe. At first the impression prevailed that he had been run over by a train during the night but a later examination of the body re vealed the fact that the man had received | several severe thrusts from a koife or stilletto about the neck which in them- selves would have produced death Other incidents clearly supported this theory and it was conclusive that the man had been murdered, the body thrown on the R.R. tracks hop ng thereby to conceal the deed Since that time the public has demanded that this murder be investigated as well as other untimely deaths elsewhere in this coanty Last Friday evening, Constable McCartney, of Snow Shoe, accompanied by detectives A.

Whether true or pot, we will not vouch for it, but give what we were told by what we considered reliable authority Andrew and John Kachick had worked together in the mines, but of late they had several serious quarrels, and just a pight or so prior to the murder they had aren in IROL was us he gained coun secured he vidence is to De a personal encounter in which Andrew | should have beaten John fiercely in the | face, and had not other parties interfered might have seriously injured the man A’ other times he should have made threats to take John's life. The night that John met his death Andrew and he were at the hotel of Geo. Kachick at Clarence, and with Harry Watson they started for home at about the same time and that is the last that anyone else Saw | John Kachick alive That night Harry Watson slept at the home of Kachick, Watson is an easy-going, in- offensive fellow who would hardly plan such a deed, but at the same time when under the influence of liquor could easily | be pursuaded, Since the murder of John Kachick many people claim that Andrew had been restless and uneas Just as positive, on the other hand, are the claims of friends of these men that they are innocent and the victims of un- scrupulous detectives, whom they de. nounce in the worst of terms, It is im. prudent for us to argue the merits of these claims, as the men are under ar rest and the matter is now in the hands of the proper authorities, where the evi: dence will have to be produced.
