E. Par-li.'-le family and which has been un occupied a great deal of the time since their removal to Omaha. Daring the time of the occupancy of the McClanahan family there the police were called out there at fre quent occasions, once by the family finding someone in the house and al so on two other occasions when par ties were reported as being seen around the grounds of r9ie home and at one time a shooting party was staged on the grounds, but in all of the cases the prowlers were able to nmb th.ir P-Ptav.nv frnm thp fno nf net mn Recently the police have had re- ports of parties being seen around there at night and tracks were found in the snow in the last few days in dicating that someone was at the place although it is not thought they secured entrance to the house. The persistency of the visits has led to the supposition that there must be some strong motive for the visits and that the person or persons have so far failed in securing what they have sought. The reoccurence o" the visits are too often to be mere- ly from trespassers or tramps and . i . . ' ie. n-mro are wording on tne possi- hie solution of the case.
