MIDNIGHT MURDER.
An Unknown Man Murdered
While Asleep in a Cabin.
The Assassin Supposed to Have
Been His Companion.
Robbery the Probable Motive OF the Dee,
..S, 60, ot tn Ni'i rr.-Rport
Of tn Coronr's Jury.

About 8 o'clock Yesterday morning
Officer Lewis was notified that the
body OF a dead man was lying in one
OF the shacks or sleeping places made
OF brush, thar are situated just east Of
the end OF Front street near the river.
He visited the place, and there found
an unknown man, of uncertain nation
ality, shot dead with three bullet holes
through. his head The surroundings
indicate that he had been shot while
sleeping in II pair of blankets, by II
companion or partner, who was also
lying ON pair OF blankets on or near
the outer side OF him.
The deceased was lying on his left
side. His coat and pants were folded
beneath his head, and the part OF the
blankets near his head were powder
burned and contained n bullet hole.
His coat and pants were found
smeared with blood some twelve feet
distant from the body, where they had
been thrown after being riiled by the
murderer. Tho officer notified tho
coroner and the remains were re.
moved to the latter's office.
The deceased appeared to be about
30 years Of age, was five feet nine
inches in height, and was dressed in u
dark colored working clothes. He, no
doubt, was murdered by his compan.
ion for the purpose OF robbery, MS the
note book found upon him contained
the words; "Si4SO, balance due
from the contractor"
There was no evidence of any strug.
gle, except that his left hand was
powder burned, caused no doubt by
raising it to his head after the first
shot, which would not have proved
fatal.
AT the inquest, which was held last
evening, it was ascertained by u med
ical examiner, that the first shot
entered just below his right car and
came out at his mouth, breaking the
upper jaw that the second shot en-
tered Just back of the same ear and
penetrated two and II hall inches into
the brain; and that the third shot en-
tered from the right side Of the back OF
the head, coming out on the opposite
side near the left ear. The bullets
belonged to 3S calibre pistol.
Il. l.. Foster, Officer Lewis, Mr..
Newport and Joe Williams testified.
but their statements all agreed and
their knowledge Of the affair was
meagre.
A medallion insignia OF the Catholic
faith was suspended from his neck,
and Mr.. John f. Carrere, accompanied
by a Catholic priest visited the re-
mains yesterday. They concluded
the deceased was either Dane, Bo-
hemiau or Hungarian. In the pass-
book they also deciphered a name
that seemed to read; "Johani Grim
baden"
The verdict Of the jury was that de-
ceased was foully murdered by some
party To them unknown.
The remains will be buried by the
Catholic people.
This case shows how difficult it is to
trace a murder committed in so oh
scure place at night when both the
victim and the assassin are strangers
among many other strangers of the
wayiaring kind.

man wish to impress upon the minds
OF his sympathizers his views of the
question, by breaking forth every few
minutes into q strain of puns not con-
stracted for the cars OF respectable

He did not 30 quail before the power
OF his adversary that he must inter-
rupt himself in the most interesting
portion of his address to tell what he
had said, or will say, and look at the
crowd beseechingly, as much as to
imply: There, that is what he Is
coming to talk about, so, for my sake,
stay at home and save yourselves the
annoyance"
His forcible, beautiful language,
rendered with contrasting dignity;
his unussuming manner and watchiul
care OF neglecting to dwell with mo-
notonous aud tiresome repetition upon
sell, 80 completely surprised the pre-
viously informed audience that every
man present ut the expiration OF his
speech gave u rousing applause Of
support and admiration.

and Montrose Motor Company the
right to build and operate o railroad
was passed. The vote by which the
ordinance granting this company an
underground right OF way across the
Northern Pacific tracks on Washing
ton street was reconsidered and sub.
stitute to the original was read third
time and passed. The substitute
holds the city harmless from accident
and damages by the construction OF
the cut.
The city attorney presented an
amendment to the ordinance COVE rn-
ing the district within which liquors
may be sold. The amendment pro-
yided that no license can be issued
within 140 feet Of church or saloon.
This covered the objection to issuing q
license for the American resort on
Main street, which, according to the
city solicitor, is barely $50 feet from
the Catholic church. The ordinance
as amended was passed on motion Of
Alderman johnson.
An ordinance providing for the pay.
ment Of $1050 TO the San Francisco
Bridge company for changes in the
Howard street bridge was passed.
An ordinance confirming contract

trio and Illuminating Company was
paased.
THE WATER WORKS.
A warrant was moved to be drawn

the balance due him on the water
works contract.
Alderman Bailey said he did not
sign the report favoring the payment
Of the amount, something over $4,000
for the excavation. He said that he
had inspected the work and while
the measurement OF the work done
may be correct he thought another
measurement should be made. He
advocated that competent man
should be engaged to go with the city
engineer and measure the work again.
He was familiar with the work and
thought the report gave II greater
number Of yards than had been ex-
cavated.
Alderman Waters said that he had
been over the work and knew that
every yard given in the report had
been excavated. He thought it was
unfair to cast reflections ON the city
engineer.
The motion prevailed.
Alderman Bailey then moved ~
have competent engineer measure
the work in company with the engin.
eer.
The engineer said il was Just possi-
BILE he had made a mistake, but he did
not think SO.
The motion prevailed.
Charles Tiumbull was appointed to
act with Surveyor Ashley in re-meas
uring the excavations.
THE wISD'uP.

Mayor Hoover smiled over hand
some boquet in the lapel OF his coat,
as he assumed the miniature throne in
the new council chamber last night, and
called to order the first regular meet
lug OF the city fathers in the new quar-
ters. The aldermen sat within the
railing and enjoyed the fragrance OF
the flowers which bedecked their
tables.
The chamber presented a gay and
festive appearance. On the wall, just
behind the mayors chair, appeared a
streamer bearing the pleasing inscrip-
ton. "Welcome Mayor and Council,
and City Officers" The mayor and
aldermen wore their best clothes
and smoked two bit cigars.
There was full attendance Of the
council, and among the visitors were

was due the Riverside avenue sewer
contractor. TIM amount was ordered
paid.
Justice Snyder reported that 800
in fines were paid during the last
month"; $3I0 uncollected fines; due

Alderman Waters OF the special
committee, reported that Mr.. Buck
ley, superintendent OF the Northern
Pacific, Ind requested the committee
to prepare prolies for extending streets
across the tracks OF the railroad.
Until the proiiles of the proposed work
were prepared no action could be
taken.
AFTER THE DIVES.
Major Waters brought up the ques-
tion of closing up the dives known as
saloons on Main street near Howard.
lie said that the council had been
jumped on by the newspapers and the
mayor had been accused OF standing
in with certain class. He thought,
however, that the mayors record was
pretty clean. He, in company with
the other members of the committee
on licenses and police, visited the dives
in question and found that minors
were allowed to frequent them,
and the games were sure
winners for the operators. The
other night he took seven
boys from the places in question. He
had travelled all over the country and
had visited many OF the New York
slums in company with detectives. At
no period OF his lie, however, did he
run across such low slum and dive
as q certain one that he mentioned.
He offered resolution revoking the
license of the owner OF that place, and
il was passel unanimously. Another
one, who runs the keno game, was
given one week to get olt of the busi-
ness.
In the course OF his remarks the al
derman roasted the police force for
permitting the Joints in question to
run.

COMM UNICATIoNs.

ii. M. Mosley complained against
Officer Lewis for arresting him for the
non.payment Of license which he
had forgotten. Alderman Waters
thought the officer had only done his
duty and the communication was filed.
A petition for saloon license was
read from G.. Palmtag & Co. Alder
man Waters raised the question that
the saloon for which the license was
asked was within the space specified in
the ordinance from a church. The
city attorney agreed with the alderman
and Alderman Tull moved that the
ordinance be amended so as TO grant
the license. The ordinance in ques-
tion was read. 1t provided that no Ii.
cense could be issued for a saloon
within two hundred feet of a church
or school. Alderman Tull pressed his
motion and it prevailed.
Mr.. Nichols wrote to the effect that
Balkman, former health inspector,
had collected $40 from him for clear
ing his property on Post street. The
Inspector, however, did not perform
the work. Alderman Waters inquired
OF the city attorney II any action
had been taken in the similar case of
Mrs. Jennings. lie thought The city
was responsible in both cases. The
attorney said he was unable TO find
Mr.. Balkman.but would send an officer
after him. Alderman Bailey thought
that the city was not responsible for
the action Of the officer, and that the
prosecution should be made by the
parties interested. The matter was
finally referred TO the solicitor.
A petition from property owners on
Mallon street asking that V. NJ. Mas
sey be awarded the contract for grad
ing the thoroughfare in question at
$l5,750 with plank cutters, instead OF
$1S,760 with utone cutters. As the
contract in the latter sum had been
let no action was taken.

She trips no more
With light foot o'er
The ball room floor;
But daily wears
A look austere,
And says her prayers.
For Lent Is here.
She puts away
Her fine array
Till Easter day,
No more filtration,
But contemplation.
Selfabnegation,
And fervent piety.
To maids becoming;
And for variety
A little stunning"
With this to cheer her
On her way
As she draws nearer
Easter day.
This pleasant thought
To cheer her heart,
When e'er her mind dwell on it;
On Ester day,
She'll come out gay
And wear a daisy bonnet.
