enson, of Dakota City, Neb., depart
ed yesterday, after visiting in the
Ostmeyer home One more link to
the chain of evidence that may con
vict Albert Blancett of the murder
of Clyde D. Armour, of Sioux City,
is the finding of the buffalo robe at
El Paso, Tex., which was used by
Clyde on the overland trip. It is
thought that the robe was taken to
El Paso with the Armbur car by
Blancett, which Blancett is alleged
to have sold. Blancett is awaiting
trial at Santa Fe, N. M. The robe
was discovered this week and will bo
sent to Melvin Dunlavey, the Ar
mours' attorney, at Santa Fe. The
robe will be used in the further
identification of the Oldsmobile car
which was used by Clyde. The mur-
ROSS
Nebraska
der trial will be held in March. The
reward has been paid to the Mexi
can who first discovered the body of
Clyde Armour near Glorieta, N. M.,
according to word received by Hoy
Armour, of Homer, Neb. The
Mexican deposited the $1,000 reward
money in the bank at Santa Fe,
withdrawing enough to buy himself
two cows. "Now I can have butter
and milk on my table every day,"
said tho Mexican. "It will be the
first time in my life." Both arms
of Clyde Armour were found this
week by searching parties, accord
ing to a message received by Roy
Armour. All members of the body
have been found, it is stated. Both
the arms were found in an arroyo
about 200 yards from where the
body was discovered. It is thought
that the arms were dragged away
by some wild animal, as only the
bones remain.
Sioux City Journal, 19: The fu
neral of Elmer J. Moffett, i, ' So-ith
Sioux City, who died in-a i.jpital
Saturday of a complication of dis
eases, -will bo held from tl.o 1 resby
terian church in South Sioux City
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Burial will be in Graceland Park
cemetery.... Policemen today will
be placed at the combination bridge
and Big Sioux bridge to prevent
transportation companies from
bringing liquor into Sioux City.
Other roads leading into the city
from Jefferson, S. D., also are to be
watched by the police. The order
of Councilman Ward prohibiting the
local companies from bringing liquor
into Sioux City went into elfect
Saturday night at J o'clock and is to
be enforced strictly, according to
Chief Hawman. It is the plan of the
police department hcadi to stop the
overland transportation traffic in
liquor, and every means possible
will be exerted to stamp it out.
Liquor may be brought into Sioux
City only by individuals who intend
it for their personal consumption.
One man cannot bring in a shipment
for a friend. Edward Baron, attor
ney for the liquor transportation
companies, said the police order
would be contested and that a test
case would be brought immediately.
It is likely that a driver will be sent
into the police blockade today with
a consignment of liquor A bill
providing for the acceptance of
handwrjting as evidence in a mur
der trial was passed by a large ma
jority of both houses of tho New
Mexico legislature last week. The
new law will be used in the prose
cution of Albert Blancett, who is
being held at Santa Fe in connection
with the murder of Clyde Armour,
of Sioux City. It was introduced
by State Senator Melvin Dunlaevy,
attorney for the Armours. The
handwriting of the person who ac
companied Armour on his overland
trip from Denver until the time of
his disappearance has been fonnd on
hotel registers at Las Vegas and
and Santa Fe, N, M. Several notes
and an "I. O. U.," which were for
geries of Clyde Armour's name, are
now in the possession of citizens of
Santa Fe and of Albuquerque, where
Armour's impersonator stayed for a
short time after the disappearance
of Armour. A federal law recog
nizes handwriting as evidence in
murder trials, but there was no law
in New Mexico which recognized it
as incriminating evidence. Senator
Dunlavey's bill will be a great aid in
identification of tho man who ac
companied Clyde on his trip. If it
can bo established that the hand
writing on the Las Vagas and the
Santa Fe hotel registers is tho same
as the handwriting of A. W.
Blancett the identification of Ar
mour's slayer will have been proved,
according to Roy Armour, of Hub
bard, Neb., a brother of the mur
dered man.
Sioux City Journal, 15: A record
price for ewes on this market was
paid Fred Bartels, of Hubbard,
Neb., Tuesday when his shipment
commanded $10.85. Mr. Bartels is
one of the most widely known feed
ers in this section of the country.. . .
The funeral of Adam Donnelly, 49
years old, of Vista, Neb., who died
yesterday at his homo, of pneumo
nia, will be held tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock at the Roman Catholic
church at Vista. Burial will be in
Mt. Calvary cemetery in Sioux City.
Mr. Donnelly is a brother of Patrick
Donnelly, of Sioux City. He is also
survived by his widow and two chil
dren.... A bill for an appropriation
of $2,000 to leimburso Jtoy Armour
and Glenn Armour, of Homer, Neb.,
for the expenses involved in discov
ering the body of their brother,
Clyde Armour, and .in the capture
of Albert W. Blancett, the alleged
murderer, has been introduced in
the senate of New Mexico by Melvin
T. Dunlavy, attorney for the
Armours. It is estimated that Roy
and Glen Armour spent more than
this amount in searching for the
body of their dead brother. State
Senator Dunlavy has been aiding
the Armours and will assist in the
prosecution of the case against
Blancett. Mrs. Mary Armour,
mother of tho slain man, will remain
in Fresno, Cul., until after the trial,
according to Roy Armour. Her tes
1 timony may be required in the iden
tification of the automobile which
was used by Clyde Armour in the
trans-continental trip and the letters
she wrote to her son which were al
leged to have been presented to the
hotel clerk at Santa Fe by Albert
Blancett. After the trial, which
will probably be early in March,
Mrs. Armour will return to visit her
sons near Homer, Nob. Mrs. Ar
mour will accompany tho body of
Clyde Armour back to Nebraska,
where it will be buried J. O.
Tibbotts, alias George Taylor, alius
Roy Taylor, alias Bert Taylor, alias
King, alias Swanson, 28 years old, of
Sioux City, was arrested in South
Sioux City by Chief of Police A. L.
Mathwig and is being held at Dakota
City for investigation in connection
with the alleged theft of an auto
mobile which was left at South Sioux
City by Tibbotts last August. Tib
botts left the car at South Sioux
City last August, according to Chief
Mathwig, with tho intention of
claiming it again at a later date.
When Tibbotts asked for tho car
yesterday he was arrested. The
prisoner is also wanted in Omaha on
a charge of larcenv. In November
four of the "gam," that Tibbetts
was working with , ere arrested in
connection with a number of shop
lifting thefts. At this time Tibbetts
and his wife, Bertha Taylor, escaped
and were never located by the Oma
ha authorities. Under the name of
George Taylor he and his wife were
convicted of bootlegging and opera
ting a house of prostitution in South
Sioux Sioux City last July. Shortly
afterwards Tibbetts left town, but
returned again in August with the
car now in the posession of Chief
Mathwig. The machine bears an
inccorrect number, according to
Mathwig. The number is S. D.
784078, which the chief thinks should
be 7940715 S. D. The owner of the
car cannot be located. The present
number belongs to a Ford agent in
Monmouth, III., who owns the car
with that license. Tibbetts will be
held until the owner of the car can
be found.
