Mysterious Murder.

Friday night, at tic Minnesota Trans
fer. near st. paul, the engineer ard ire
man heard groaMs from the horse pens.
They went to horse pen No. 20, aud
found q man standing in the doorway of
it With his throat cut and head mashed.
All that the man said While being NOV
ed was "take me to the transfers.
Mounted Officer Klein searched the pen
and found the murdered mans hat, a
coupling pin, and a pen knife, stained
with blood. lie was knocked down
twice while Ill the pen, and his throat
cut, as he lay on the gIound. lie has
since died, and left no clue to his iden-
tity, nor that of his assailant. He is
supposed to have been an Iowan, named
Dan Smith, who was waiting for car
load of mules that came in unattended
and unclaimed, two days after his death.
He has also been partially identified as
one Lovelace, OF Lisbon, to whom the
Ransom County Bank had, a few days
before, sent $1,000.
Jake Martin, formerly horse trader
at Valley City, was, the same night, ar
rested at the Transfer house. lie had
been seen coming from the pen at eight
O'Clock p. IN. One OF his overs!!oes was
bloody: q bloody pair Of oycralls found
III the prlVy vault, had been purchased
by him the day before GtIlor clIeuin-
st;,i.ccS pointed him ont as ne murder
er. A motive is all that is lacking to
make out the case. W lille not regarded
as straight in the community Martin
was never SUSPECTED of being murder
Gus. 1t is supposed. at Sanborn, that
the dead man was detectiye tracing up
a bogus mortgage, recently put up as
collateral by Martin, in order to secure
a loan Of $1,000 from Iowa parties.
