Many and Various are the Ru mors Afloat. NAMES OF PROMINENT CITIZENS MEN TIONED IN CONNECTION WITH THE CASE. The disapearance of Miss Katie Hood and her wherabouts is as much of a mystery as ever. If any new facts have been developed that would throw any light upon the case they are kept quiet. Parties interested have several supposed clues to work upon, and have employed detectives to locate the young girl who is the cause of all the excitement. Misa Hood is between sixteen and seventeen years of age, has no other clothes save what she usually wore in the evening. After supper Satur day, she went to her ciuplayer's saloon, Mike schoenig’a, after beer, returned home with it, played with the baby a little while and then went out, and that was the last seen or heard of her. She has been somewhat wild during her brief career and was discharged from the Schoenig mansion sometime ago because she would go away from home early in the evening and remain out until two and three o'clock. She was re-employed, upon her promise to do better, and up to the time she dis appeared, had been a model girl in re gard to keeping hours. Rumors of a grave and serious no vice are afloat. Some think the girl is detained in the city, while others are of the opinion that she has gone away. One of the men employed as detective, went to Anderson this morning. Names of prominent men are con nected with her disappearance, from the fact that they have been seen with her on different occasions. Her father, Jack Hood, who lives southeast of the city, on the Stoops farm, is considerably worked up over the matter, and is of the opinion that she is hidden in the city, and wants to search several private houses, but as yet, has failed to take the proper legal steps. In an interview with one of the lawyers in the case this afternoon, he stated that a chain of circumstantial evidence was being woven around as certain individual, whose name he would not divulge, and whose every movement was under surveilance. It is feared now by some of the most timid that the girl has been foully dealt with. The Democratic Veterans.
