BLOODY FINGER MARKS ON HAT.
The Corpse Found Near Dayton Was
That of a Murdered Man.

DAYTON, March % Especial. THE body
found near here yesterday proved to be
that of Nick Trampert, formerly of Port
land. The coroner's jury today examined
witnesses and established Trampert's
identity, revealing the fact that he came
here on February II, and was last seen
three weeks ago last Sunday. He had con-
siderable money on his person at that time
and had two valises in hotel at Dayton,
containing clothing and photographs of
himself. He had been seen with the re-
volver found at his side, which was pur-
chased here.
No doubt exists that he was murdered,
and was shot in the back of the head.
The hat shows bloody finger marks on the
inside of the leather. and the hole in the
forehead is larger than that in the back.
The officers have no clue to the murderers.
A telegram to the sheriff states that
Trampert left the employ of w. W.
Spauiding, of Portland, February 13. He
has brother named Peter in Eden Val
ley, Mimi, who has been telegraphed to,
asking what disposition to make of the
remains. The jury rendered verdict to
the effect that Trampert came to his death
at the hands of unknown parties.

A HASTINGS TRAGEDY.
A Father Shoots His Daughters
Maligner,

HASTINGS, Neb., Feb. GA tragedy
was enacted last evening on the busiest
thoroughfare in the city. Capt A. D..
Iocum, special inspector of customs
with headquarters in Idaho, ex-Mayor
of this city, and one of the most promi-
nent men Of western Nebraska, who is
home on visit to his family, walked
up Second street, and when in front Of
the Hotel Bostwicll, pulled large pis-
toll from his overcoat and, without
warning, deliberately fired four shots
at Myrou Van Fleet, prominent char
acter about town, every bullet taking
effect. Van Fleet fled inside the hotel
to avoid the fusilade of bullets, fell eX-
hausted in the Office of the hotel and
expired in forty minutes.
The tragic affair is the elimination
of a cowardly scandal raised in this
city and published in a scandal paper
in Lincoln, Dec. %, 1890, which at that
time stirred social circles from center
to circumference. Van Fleet alleged
that Dee. 4, 1890, Miss Yocum, a daugh-
ter of the captain, and the colored
coachman had skipped to Denver and
had been clandestinely married
Upon investigation it was discovered
that Miss Yocum had not been in Den
yer During the absence of Capt.
Yocum Miss Yocum had been bounded
by Van Fleet, who has repeatedly made
indecent proposals to the young lady.
Capt Yocum did not hear of the scan
dial until he returned home on visit
ten days ago, and then he learned the
particulars from Van Fleet himself.
Yocum set about To investigate the
matter and satisfied himself that Van
Fleet was the author Of the scandal
Van Fleet had repeatedly stated that
Miss Yocum and the negro had been
intimate. Nocum was arrested and
held to await the coroner's inquest,
