Diamond Pin. u -
New Developments Looked for in the
Tragedy--Lively Runaway.
She Had the Dust.


On Thursday evening a rather intelligent
looking lady aged about As years, appeared
at the Omaha depot and bought ticket for
st. Paul. Shortly afterwards she stepped
into the Office and appeared nervous. She
told MI. Blakely, the agent, that she had a
large sum of money on her person and was
afraid to go alone as there were several men
in the waiting room that she
thought were watching her. She
had heard of the Farmers Home tragedy
and thinking Saltwater bad city she be-
came alarmed. She stated that she had
been travelling through Europe and stopped
Off in New York several days on her re-
turn, where she had obtained $40, 600 worth
of government bonds and SIS, 900 in money,
making in all S25, 900, which she carried on
her person. MI. Blakely and the other
employees doubted her story and asked her
where the money was. ''ln my stocking"
was the answer. at the same time reaching
down and drawing therefrOm a bunch of
paper which she showed them and which
proved to be genuine government bonds.
She counted them and sure enough there
was Just $780, 900 of them. Mr.. Blakely
told Dan Harkins. the baggagemaster, that
he had better accompany her to ST. Paul.
He consented and went along. When they
reached st. Paul she stepped into jewelry
store and purchased him handsome pin,
which is said to be diamond. He then
accompanied her to the Merchants hotel.
where she intended to stop over night.
AS soon as she registered Dan left her and
returned home happy as big suntlower.
She took his name and Mr.. Blakely's and
promised to send each OF them present as
soon as she reached home. She was well
atah nd
stated that she had been visiting friend
here for several days. She placed the ut
most confidence in Dan and told him her
husband was worth $500, 900. He says he
made good impression and would have
married her if she did not have husband.
The Murder Case.
New light will probably be thrown upon
the murder of Henry HOsli and the shoot
ing of Joe Lukinger at the inquest examin
alton by the coroner's jury of five men, to
be resumed at city hall this Saturday
morning at o'clock. DR.. T. c. Clark, the
deputy coroner, will preside, and Mr.. G. d.
Gregory will appear for the prosecution.
Some of the witnesses heretofore examined
will be put on the stand again, besides quite
a number of others. Clues touud since the
early part of the week will, it is stated, re-
veal some damaging circumstances. Sheriff
Holcomb, Chief of Police Shortall and 9TH
ers have been actively engaged working up
the case all week. Yesterday it was re-
ported that still another revolver and three
cartridges and two empty shells, covered
with blood, had been found under the re-
frigerator in the saloon at the Farmers
Home, which, on investigation, proved I'M
true This would throw no new light on
the tragedy as enough revolvers have al
ready been found. The finding of dozen
more would make no difference. The
whereabouts of Hosli on Friday afternoon
and evening is the most important theory.
This may be brought out at the exam
ination to-day. Up till last evening
we had learned of no person who had
seen him later than p. IN. on Friday,
when he left the Montreal saloon and
started for the St. Paul &, Duluth railroad
depot. intending to return to Taylor's Falls
to work for his brother, Mr.. j. B. Hosli.
The report that he was seen on Friday
evening about o'clock is not true.
AS yet nothing has TRANSFERRED that will
make the public believe other than Boeck
ing and Heffner are the guilty parties. 1t
is the belief of ninety-nine persons out of
every hundred that more is wrapped in
their breasts concerning the affair than they
have stated thus far. They may be guilty
and may not. This is yet to be proven.
Last evening a telephone message from
the city hospital stated that Lukinger was
feeling quite well, with favorable prospects
for recovery.
