We learn that man who had been en-
gagged in working on the dam at Croton,
Iowa, was murdered at that place on Sun
day night last, by three men, who took
from his person about 1900, and then
sunk his body In the Des MONIES River
At last accounts the three men had been
arrested, one of them turned States evidence,
and they were all in the hands of mob,
who refused 10 give them up to the Off
GERS. There seems 10 be no doubt of the
guilt Of all three, and it is expected that
they will receive their trial before Judge

strange mistake, he passed to the north side
of the Capitol, and walked off the perpen-

He was found yesterday morning in an in

in two places, and one of his legs greatly in
jured. He was not expected to recover
