STARTLING THEORIES.

While there was nothing developed yes
terday of certain or positive character,
yet certain definite lines of action were
taken which may result soon in discoveries
of startling and highly sensational ma
ture. 1t is not the intention at present to
inform the public of just what this move
consists, for the reason that premature
publication Of the facts might conspire to,
defeat the object in view, and the ends of
Justice. This much only may be said,
that certain we'll known gentlemen have
taken the matter in hand personally, and
have already set to work in dead earnest
to ferret out the assassins.
From information already derived they
have formed certain assumptions which
may or may not lead to the detection of
the guilty ones, but in any event the re-
suit of their Investigations will be known
in few days.

LIE WOnOor1Ul power 6xerIeQ Dy Qreams
on the minds of some is proysrbial, and
even in this boosted age of reason the man
if old forms of superstition can lay claim
to numerous followers. Of all forms of
superstition that which attaches to dreams
il the most mystic, weird and enchanting
and the spell in some instances e1cesds
the power of force and reason Itself.
An incident in point was developed yes
terday morning when young man named
F. Pusch, an employe of Wurm's brewery,
called at the city hall and reported a
strange dream that had disturbed his
SAUNDERS on Thursday night. During the
night he dreamed that he saw two men
concealing the body of young Pierce in a
cave or culvert under the Third street
bluff, and that they were to come at
o'clock last night with a cutter, put ths
body IN a shoe box and take it away.
Mr.. Pusch, was profoundly impressed
with the reality of his vision, and yestsr-
day he made an inspection of the openingl
essary to say. 1t is not known whsths,
the shoe box and cutter appeared on time
last night, but in view of the fact that there
is no roadway between the tracks on the
Ievee it is safe to presume they did not.
Out of the deep and painful mystery
| surrounding the fearful tragedy come al
yet the same stark inter- ogations which
like the ghost of the murdered Banquo
will not down, but rise before the vision
constantly and mutely appeal for solu-
ton. These are: Where is the body Of
the murdered youth? Who were tht
black imps of perdition that did the dia
bolical work and when will they b,
brought to punishment? A solution tx
these queries is among the things devoutl,
| to be wished for.

THE BLUEF THEORY.

| THE BLUEF THEORY
The theory that the murder took place
at the head of the narrow pathway leading
up the bluff from the railroad track and
terminating at the fence which divides the
bluff from Second street. at the foot Of
Minnesota street, is gaining strength in
some directions, and it is possible that
there may be more in it than at first sop
posed.
By the adherents of this theory it is held
that on leaving the freight house young
Pierce took the pathway as being the
shortest cut to Third street, and that he
was followed up and murdered as he was
about to climb over the fence. That his
body was then thrown over the bluff and
afterwards dragged to. the river or con-
cealed somewhere else. It will be remem-
bsred that the presence OF blood on the
snow at this point and the finding of the
bloody overshoes, has hitherto been ae-
counted for on the theory that one of She
wounded assassins had assembled the path
way after committing the deed, and that
the ovsrshoes and blood had been found
where he stopped at the top of the bluff.
Several gentlemen who have made
close inspection of the bluff, hich is very
PERCEPTIONS at this point, are of the be-
Lief that certain Impressions in the snow
all the way down the side of the bluff,
we're caused by the descent of the body. A
chunk of the snow which was saturated
with blood has been taken from the top
of the pathway, and it will be subjected
to chemical analysis in order to make
sartain that it is human blood.
| PUEBLO sRRTIMKET.
The widespread sorrow and righteous
indignation occasioned by the foul deed is
quite as keenly manifested as ever, and
public sentiments about the murder bids
fair to outlive the proverbial nine days
wonder. Anything having the remotsst
bearing on the subject is eagerly sought
after, and now that the fact of murder

ought, think there is no doubt of Doxey's
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.


There has been considerable talk within
a few days among Republican senators
over the question of scouting
the election of president pro tenn. with
out resorting to an extra session, To ac-
complish this result it is regarded as es-
sential to elect another presiding officer
before the senators leave for the summers
recess. There is belief that Mr.. Davis
will not stand in the way of such change,
but as soon as he finds that the election now
pending will enable the Republicans to
control the next senate, he will agree to the
election of his successor by the Repub-
licans. The names of Logan and Ed
munds are mentioned as among those
whom he would not object to have elected.
