wound in his chest, penetrating 10 his
back, evidently made with sword
cane which lay near him with the
blade drawn; his money, OF which he
is supposed TO have had about $500,
and his watch. and chain gone. The
dead mans brother-in-law, Antonio
Fericono, had been with him the pre-
vious day and was suspected of the
murder, but no proof was forthcom-
ing and verdict Of suicide was rem
dered. Fericono, who had been ar
rested, was released and disappeared,
Last week mutual friend stated TO
John Faraoh that Fericono had re-
turned and wanted TO confess TO hav-

A JanitOr Missing

Secretary Seerley and other habitues of
the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms, are becoming
very anxious over the non-appearance of
Emil Schwerd, who has been janitor FOR
over two years, says the Davenport Ga
zettc. MIR. Schwerd left the rooms on
Monday, the 10Th inst, at about 2 clock
in the afternoon. He did not say where
he was going, and no notice was taken
OF his absence until night, when be did
not return. and Mr.. Seerley began to
wonder at his absence, as he was usually
very punctual and attentive to his duties.
The next day Mr.. Schwerd was still
absent, and the room which he occupied
showed no signs of his presence during
the night previous. Mr.. Seerley then
began to think that he had gone away
somewhere. Once before Mr.. Schwerd
had gone away without any explanation
until two days later, when he returned
and said that he had been in Rock Is
| land.
Now over week has passed and still
no word has been received The Rock
Island, Moline and Davenport police
| have searched for him but have been un-
| able to find any trace. The alternative
forces itself upon his friends that he has
taken his own life, although there ap>
pears TO be no reason for such an act
Schwerd had no friends in this country
to go to. He came from Germany only
few years ago and has been janitor for
the Y. M. c. A ever since Mr.. ,Hol-
| lingsworth went away over two years
ago, only to come back insane and die in
the asylum at Mt. Pleasant. There have
been no signs of alteration of the mind
in Schwerd. The only change in his
actions that has been noticed was in his
treatment of child of Secretary Seerley
to whom he was usually very attentive
and for which he showed great liking
For few days before he was missed he
did not notice it as much as usual.
The room Of Mr.. Schwerd was a small
one of the suite occupied by the Y NJ c.
A. 1t was at the southwest corner of the
| building. on the third floor. He boarded
at Mrs. Hickmaus where he did odd Jobs
| about the house and grounds as pay.

years of age. He wore curly hair and
short whlskers. He was cross>eyed 10 an

very heavy build. Any information as to
his Whereabouts will be thankfully re

A st. Paul Improvement.

The Dubuque Times says the advent OF
the East Shore railroad has set the inside
management of the St. Paul company to
thinking, and it is said the high officials
of the latter have been in close confer
ence and have finally decided to inquire
into the expediency of Strengthening the
curves of their river division, in order to
compete in time with the new road. For
several days, it is said their most trusted
engineers have been figuring on the cost
of the work, which, if carried out, will
require an enormous outlay of funds.
As given from a reliable source, the work
as contemplated, will embrace the

buque and La Crosse. This means The
