about it that won't do. The Kansas

defenders of the integrity of roots

We shall not here discourse upon the
mysteries of philogy; but we can as
sur the Kansas Populites that their
name is an outrage upon their schol-
arsbIp. They must call themselves
by some other name than Populites.

smith. who lives in the southwest part
of the city was going down to his work
he discovered the body of a murdered
girl by the side of the road on Seven
teenth near Moniteau. He gave the
alarm and crowd quickly gathered.
Many were the conjectures as to who
the murdered girl was but at length it
was discovered to be Johanna Scholl-
man, a servant girl of Mayor Ed.
Stevens.
= THE SCENE OF THE MURDER.
The remains were lying Just at the
edge of the beaten track among the
weeds Oh Seventeenth. Death had
been caused by choking and knife
thrust in the neck, but the
girls torn and mutilated hands showed
that there had been a despeate strug-
gle and that she had grasped her as
sailant's knife repeatedly to protect
herself from its thrusts.
An examination of the place of the
murder showed that it had been COM
mitted, or the struggle for life and
death had begun, close to the hedge at
the corner of Seventeenth and Ken
1tucky. At first it was believed that
the girl had been murdered there and
her body dragged to the place where
it was found, but this is hardly likely.
There is little blood near the hedge
and if she had been killed there, there
would he no reason for dragging her
body to the place where it was found.
BY the hedge it was secreted, while
out by the road it was in full view of
all who might pass. A more probable
solution OF the mystery is that the
murderer assaulted the girl near the
hedge, that she resisted and the strug-
gle was prolonged until they reached
the road forty feet farther east, where
the murderer succeeded in striking
her down.
; The weeds were all crushed and bits
of fur from the girls cloak had been
torn off and caught on them
While il was evident that knife had
been used, still as there was little
blood at the place, some supposed that
the girl was either choked to death or
murdered at some other place and
brought there. OF the latter there is
little evidence.
The following diagram will more
clearly explain where the body was
found:
