WADENA, Oct. ga we'll executed shoot
| ing affair took place about seven miles be-
low this village last night. Orson Gould,
pioneer settler of Stowe prairie, Todd
county, was found brutally murdered on
the highway leading to his home. He
was in the habit of riding pony and it is
| thought he was shot while on his horse, as
| the marks of buckshot were plainly seen
on his back. Gould was bachelor, living
alone on farm of some 200 acres. He has
committed many atrocious acts which have
given him bad name among the neigh
bors, while the way he
has gone about with a
revolver ard belt of cartridges strapped
about his waist, led the people to fear
him. He has had several law suits on his
hands this fall. Last spring he rented his
farm on shares TO the Reese boys. The
contract was all on his side. Recently he
went on the place and harvested the crops.
Meanwhile the Reese boys commencing an
action few days ago, Gould committed
another lawless act, having shot heifer
belonging to neighbor for which he was
arrested. 1t was thought by the neighbors
ne would be unabla to proc1re
his freedom, but Thursday he
came to Wadena and after forty-eight
hours search procured the necessary bonds
pen. His success disappointed those who
caused nj arrest, and they quickly pro-
| ceeded t. nave him rearrested on civil
process, but before anything definite could
be done he was found in the highway shot
dead. No one knows how it happened,
and he was so generally dlsliked, it is
probable that no one will be punished.

MURDER MYSTERY.
Special Telegram to the Globe.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. ga forearm
and left leg of a woman's body were
found floating in the waters of the Erie
canal at lock No. IS, just outside the city
limits. An investigation was Immediately
commenced but nothing moro was discov-
cred until yesterday, when the right leg
from the knee to the ankle was found float
ing in slack water below the lock. To-day
| several additional parts of the WON ans
body were found in the basin above the
lock. A prominent physician said,
ut is evident that these pieces OF
| flesh and bone are portions of the body of
| a woman. The size Of the thigh and pei
Wis shows she was large and heavy. The
condition of the flesh and absence of de-
composition indicate that the fragments
have not been in the water more than a
| week. The work resembles that OF
butcher rather than medical stu
dent. Then again there are
no traces OF disease about the
flesh. The limbs are plump, not shrunien
as would have been the case had she died.
From appearances Of parts Of the body
found I should judge the woman was muir
dered." The general theory is the woman
was the wife of some canal boat captain;
| that a quarrel occurred and the woman
| was killed, and that to get rid OF the body
| it was cut up into fragments and
| thrown into the water in
hope that they would sink.
