LOUISVILLE, KY, June lo.--At ten
O'Clock yesterday morning three boys
who we're swimming In Bear Grass Creek
discovered barrel containing the head
less corpse Of man. The head had been
cut from the body with jagged instru-
mcnt Of tome sort, and the arms aud legs
we.c 10 chopped on and packed IN
the barrel along with the body, but
the head was nowhere to be found. There
was every evidence Of foul murder, and
the police are actively at work upon the
case. Thus far nothing has been un-
carthcd that will lead either 70
the identity OF the corpse or furnish
clcw 10 the murderer. The crime,
from all indications, must have been
committed In twenty-four hours PRIOR 70
the discovery Of the body. The barrel
bore no mark and had evidently been
carefully selected BY the murdercrs for
this purpose. The body, from all indica-
lions, was that OF man Of middle age
with small and soft hands and small feet.
