This, it Is said, will cause the citizens to rise in their might and possibly take extreme measures.

May 31.— There were no new developments today in the Lo gan murder mystery, although when some one started a rumor that a cer tain negro had been arrested for the crime there came near being a stam pede among the colored people of the neighborhood until the rumor was proven false. There is considerable excitement over the case, but the officers of the law insist that they are not going to be driven to make any arrests until they have indisputable proof of some sort. A curious thing came to light today in the absolute disappearance of a handkerchief which was found lying under the head of the murdered man as it lay in the ditch below the Ray mond hotel. This handkerchief was not particularly scrutinized 'at' ,the time, but was placed with Logan's clothing In the natural belief that it must have been his. Today some one desired to examine this handkerchief with a view to learn ing positively, whether It- belonged to the dead man or not. But it could not be found. :■.■;■ ".'?- ' • The presumption is that it has -been spirited away by some ono. interested in destroying all possible clews and that it did not belong to Logan at all. This conclusion indicates how excited the public mind is over the search -for the murderer. . ' .' , GRADUATE CLASS OF GIRLS Special to Tlio Herald.
