JACKSON, MIbb.. Aug. 7. This
entire city was thrown into turmoil
recently by a report that tho no
torious Jlelle (iunness, mass-mur
deress of Ti years o.ao, had been
found on a larni here.
The local woman, Mrs. J. I.
Smith, proved to tho authorities'
satisfaction that she was not Mrs.
Gunness, but the story revived an
age-old mystery. Where is Hello
Gunness dead, or living quietly
somewhere among neighbors who
never dream that she stands ac
cused of the murder of 15 men
on her Indiana matrimonial farm?
Like Dr.rothy Arnold and little
Charlie l;oss, Mrs. Gunness seems
to havj vanished Into thin air.
Though a world-wide search for
her Was Instituted at (he time her
alleged brutal murders were dis
covered no trace of her was ever
discovered.
In the years immediately pro
ceding J9U8, Mrs. Gunness inserted
advertisements into newspapers
announcing that she was looking
for a husband.
According to investigators, all
sorts of swains young, old, tall
and short, answered these -ads,,
which were attractively worded,
and told of the large farms the
woman owned at La Porte, Indiana.

The fire situation is aided in a
small way by the fact that humid

the heat. Humidity yesterday at

to the report of tho weather bu

high to prevent rapid burning and
