The twins. 43 years of a*-e. are the

"Mother love lias triumphed over
sisterly affection In this case," Dr.
Breakstone said.
Dr. Breakstone, Dr. ICdwnrd Cn

death of Josefs would mean Roea's
death 'also.
Surgeons have not (riven up hope
for Josefa, who Is suffering from

The most promising clue y«l
brought to light by the man-hunters
was being followed by a group of
e*|>erienccd trackers today. Yester
day afternoon Mrs. M. Eldrldge saw
two ptrange men in her field, near
Center. She telephoned to Sheriff
Nelson, who immediately sent a party
of deputies to the scene.
The strangers had disappeared by
the time the deputies arrived, but
their footprints were found In the
field and these nxnetly coincided
with the measurement* taken from
footprints left by the fugitives at th»
time they shot Mclnnes.
These footprints were followed
down to the shore of Discovery bay
last night, but dark news Interefered
before they could be pursued any
farther. Knrly this morning the
tracking was begun again, and the
possemen are hopeful that the trail
will lead them to the tnurderera be
fore nightfnll.
The SSU.OOO In rash and ««rttrl
ties which the robbers stole from
the S<-<|ulni .State hank Thursday
night Is believed to be cached
somewhere In the forest, and the
nianhunters think they will be
able to recover the loot If they
can succeed In tracking down tIM
desperadoes.
