J t THE SPEAKERS IN THE PHOSPHATE CITY The speaking began late Tuesday night in Dunnellon because the stores do not close before 9 oclock but when the ball was started it rolled merrily- for three

shores of hope- C L Blttinger was the first speaker and consumed his fifteen minutes and- a little more He said he believed in all the agencies that go to make up the procession of progress and pros- perity ¬ and that such advancement meant taxesnot to be wasted but administered in the Interest of the taxpayers That the voters of Dunnellon might not mistake his position he assured them thatone of the things that would confront the legislature that is to be eiected and would legislate for thft state for the next two years was the question of state prohibition and he for one would vote to permit the sov- ereigns ¬ of the state to pass on that very important and vital question if they preferred state prohibition to lo ¬ cal option and in dQing this he was conceding a right of free government- to those whose votes would either dominate the question and relegate for another campaign Mr Blttinger said he believed in the best schools longest terms and best teachers our school tax money could supply in good roads and the foster ¬ ing of that progressive spirit in keep ¬ ing faith with our Confederate vet ¬ I erans in liberal pensions not as an act of charity but as an obligation- and reward they had bravely honora ¬ bly and patriotically earned In other words he believed in the people getting the worth of their taxes and if economy and savings could be made along lines of the expenditure of said taxes to see it was done by the public servants who legislated for the people and those who disbursed them- L S Light followed and he by We- D Cam and their speeches were identically as those delivered on for- mer ¬ occasions except that Mr Light never once peeped as to how he stood on the prohibition question but he had a plan to increase valuation 160 million and reduce taxation or cut present taxation in two but failed to tell his wrought up audience what was the secret of such a marvelous trans- formation Some think he proposes- to work a miracle convert every tax ¬ payer in the state who will bring ev pry item of hidden wealth from its hiding place and reveal it to the tax aEsessor and immediately the civic millennium will dawn The picture made Alfred Ayers eyes dance with joy for in the eight Sears he has been searching for this hidden wealth he has signally failed to find it and It has caused this popular- and efficient officer much poignant regret Messrs H Wv Long and Bell pleaded for the county juhgeship the former to be elected to the office and in this connection he related the fact of making his first public speech made hi

GRUESOME MURDER MYSTERIES Five Bodies Unearthed in Same Yard Women and Three Children Bijrned to Death of Same Lot a Few pays AgoTwo Bodies Identified Laporte md May 6One of the most gruesome murder mysterious ev- el unearthed in this section of the country came to light when the bodies oi five persons all of them murdered- were found in the yard of the home of Mrs Belle Guinness who with three of her children was burned to death on the night of April 28 So far only two of the bodies have teen identified These are Andrey Helgelein who came to this city from Mansfield S D for the purpose of marrying Mrs Guinness whose ac- quaintance ¬ he ImdSjnade through a matrimonial bureau The other is that of Jennie Olson Guinness a Chicago girl who had teen adopted by Mrs Guinness The other bodies were those of a man and of two children So many bones were missing in the lat ¬ ter two that it is not known whether they were male female None of them have been identified- It is believed by the authorities that Guy Lamphere who has been under arrest since the burning of the Guin- ness ¬ home on the charge of murder ¬ ing Mrs guinness and her family committed the Helgelein crime Lam phere isa carpenter and the manner in which the body of Helglein was dismembered leads to the belief that i LaS done by somebody familiar with the use of a saw In some quarters it is believed that Mrs Guinness may have known some ¬ thing of the murders of the five peo- ple ¬ There have been rumors tljat Jennie Olson Guinness had knowledge- of the manner in which the first hus ¬ band of Mrs Guinness caine to his death in Chicago- It is known that Helgeleinhad loan- ed ¬ 1500 to Mrs Guinness and that he had another 1500 in his posses ¬ sion just prior to his death It is be ¬ lieved that he was killed by Mrs Guinness or by Lamphere or by both- of them in order tO procUre the cash he had and to avoid the necessity of the repaying of the loan he had made Lamphere against whom a strong case of circumstantial evidence exists- in connection with the burning of the Guinness home and the death of Mrs Guinness and her three children denies- all knowledge of the bodies fdund to- day It was current gossip however that Lamphere was insanely jealous- of Mrs Guinness and of Helglein and it is well known that the woman stood greatly in f rofhim and had asked for police protection- The search by which the bodies were found was instigated by John Helgelein the brother of Andrew who has always believed that his brother was a murderer He noticed somere cehtly upturned earth in the yard and uggested to Sheriff Smutzer that an excavation be made The body of his brother was dug up after a tyrief search Sheriff George Carter of Citrus county is in town attending court WANTED rollertop desk

THE SPEAKERS INTHE PHOSPHATE CITY

The speaking began late Tuesdaynight in Dunnellon because the storesdo not close before 9 oclock but whenthe ball was started it rolled merrily-for three hours and accorded theStar reporter much pleasure to sayit was the most sympathetic and re-sponsive

¬

audience the candidates havestruck since tlTey started to cross thedesert of despair to the shores of hope-

C L Blttinger was the first speakerand consumed his fifteen minutes and-a little more He said he believed inall the agencies that go to make upthe procession of progress and pros-perity

¬

and that such advancementmeant taxesnot to be wasted butadministered in the Interest of thetaxpayers

That the voters of Dunnellon mightnot mistake his position he assuredthem thatone of the things that wouldconfront the legislature that is to beeiected and would legislate for thftstate for the next two years was thequestion of state prohibition and hefor one would vote to permit the sov-ereigns

¬

of the state to pass on thatvery important and vital question ifthey preferred state prohibition to lo ¬

cal option and in dQing this he wasconceding a right of free government-to those whose votes would eitherdominate the question and relegate foranother campaign

Mr Blttinger said he believed in thebest schools longest terms and bestteachers our school tax money couldsupply in good roads and the foster ¬

ing of that progressive spirit in keep ¬

ing faith with our Confederate vet ¬I

erans in liberal pensions not as anact of charity but as an obligation-and reward they had bravely honora ¬

bly and patriotically earnedIn other words he believed in the

people getting the worth of their taxesand if economy and savings could bemade along lines of the expenditureof said taxes to see it was done by thepublic servants who legislated for thepeople and those who disbursed them-

L S Light followed and he by We-

D Cam and their speeches wereidentically as those delivered on for-mer

¬

occasions except that Mr Lightnever once peeped as to how hestood on the prohibition question buthe had a plan to increase valuation 160million and reduce taxation or cutpresent taxation in two but failed totell his wrought up audience what wasthe secret of such a marvelous trans-formation Some think he proposes-to work a miracle convert every tax¬

payer in the state who will bring evpry item of hidden wealth from itshiding place and reveal it to the taxaEsessor and immediately the civicmillennium will dawn

The picture made Alfred Ayerseyes dance with joy for in the eightSears he has been searching for thishidden wealth he has signally failed tofind it and It has caused this popular-and efficient officer much poignantregret

Messrs H Wv Long and Bellpleaded for the county juhgeship theformer to be elected to the office andin this connection he related the factof making his first public speech madehi Ocala fortyeight years ago whichappeared ip the Star yesterday andhis service for the county in the pastand notwithstanding his advancedyears he was competent mentally asever for the position he sought

Judge Bell who has many friend3and supporters in Dunnellon follow-ed

¬

and spade a most pentinent talkwhich was received with favor and4

from the applause at the conclusion-of his remarks he was in the housp ofhis friends

The candidates for sheriff then tookthe stand J L Edwards first follow ¬

ed by C Y Miller J L Smoak andJohn P Galloway-

The candidate for tax assessor re-enacted the possum and persimmon-story but in this instance Phillipsleading stole all of Ayers thunder an1funny jokes aifc placed him at aslight disadvantage reiterating hewould employ no more boys in his of¬

fice to come up like Banquos ghost tosteal his daily bread but would em-ploy

¬

girls for clerical duties whbwould not aspire to his position

Messrs V W D Graham and E LCarney came next and as Mr Carneycame last he made a fine presentation-for himself

Then the candidates forcounty com-missioner

¬

from the fifth district MrDow Beck making his plea first andsaying he did not think Mr J Mi thews had done much for his con-stituents

¬

and spoke slightingly on thecondition of the roads in hisdistrict same being almost impassa-ble

¬

and he could not see how IrMccjild fulfill the promises he made thepeople of the fifth district as only afew cents belonged to the fund anddidnt see how the Dunnellon roadcontracted for could be paid

But Mr Carney assured Mr Beckthat some 30000 had been collectedsince the first of April and in addition-to this there would be 10000 in taxescollected this month making 40000and of which the road fund would re-

ceive¬

its share tMr J M Mathews the present in-

cumbent¬

GRUESOME MURDER MYSTERIES

Five Bodies Unearthed in Same YardWomen and Three Children Bijrnedto Death of Same Lot a Few paysAgoTwo Bodies Identified

Laporte md May 6One of themost gruesome murder mysterious ev-el unearthed in this section of thecountry came to light when the bodiesoi five persons all of them murdered-were found in the yard of the home ofMrs Belle Guinness who with threeof her children was burned to deathon the night of April 28

So far only two of the bodies haveteen identified These are AndreyHelgelein who came to this city fromMansfield S D for the purpose ofmarrying Mrs Guinness whose ac-quaintance

¬

he ImdSjnade through amatrimonial bureau The other is thatof Jennie Olson Guinness a Chicagogirl who had teen adopted by MrsGuinness The other bodies were thoseof a man and of two children Somany bones were missing in the lat ¬

ter two that it is not known whetherthey were male female None ofthem have been identified-

It is believed by the authorities thatGuy Lamphere who has been underarrest since the burning of the Guin-ness

¬

home on the charge of murder¬

ing Mrs guinness and her familycommitted the Helgelein crime Lamphere isa carpenter and the mannerin which the body of Helglein wasdismembered leads to the belief thatiLaS done by somebody familiarwith the use of a saw

In some quarters it is believed thatMrs Guinness may have known some ¬

thing of the murders of the five peo-ple

¬

There have been rumors tljatJennie Olson Guinness had knowledge-of the manner in which the first hus ¬

band of Mrs Guinness caine to hisdeath in Chicago-

It is known that Helgeleinhad loan-ed

¬

1500 to Mrs Guinness and thathe had another 1500 in his posses ¬

sion just prior to his death It is be ¬

lieved that he was killed by MrsGuinness or by Lamphere or by both-of them in order tO procUre the cashhe had and to avoid the necessity ofthe repaying of the loan he had made

Lamphere against whom a strongcase of circumstantial evidence exists-in connection with the burning of theGuinness home and the death of MrsGuinness and her three children denies-all knowledge of the bodies fdund to-

day It was current gossip howeverthat Lamphere was insanely jealous-of Mrs Guinness and of Helglein andit is well known that the woman stoodgreatly in f rofhim and had askedfor police protection-

The search by which the bodieswere found was instigated by JohnHelgelein the brother of Andrew whohas always believed that his brotherwas a murderer He noticed somerecehtly upturned earth in the yard anduggested to Sheriff Smutzer that anexcavation be made The body of hisbrother was dug up after a tyriefsearch
