on the Matamorss Railway, in the state of
Pueblo. He was assaulted and locked up
in the Jail at Tiaucualpican by band of
workingmen. The next day Creighton was
found dead in the Jail. 1t was alleged the
latter had murdered him.
The Mexican legation at Washington il
in receipt of an official report from the
Mexican department of foreign affairs,
which says Creighton was put in Jail he
cause he was drunk and caused disturbance
in the camp by attacking with a revolver
the workingmen of the railway, who dis
armed and locked him up. Sept. 2l Creigb-
ton was found dead. From the autopsy it
appeared that his death resulted from con-
gestion of the brain. His friends insisted

OMauA, May % 1T has been discovered
that ghouls have been operating extensively
in leading Omaha cemeteries. The body
of Mrs. Julia He's. prominent Omaha
woman, was taken from Forest Lawn. That
it was the work of skillful grave robbers is
made apparent by the fact that they had
worked in systematic manner.
With search warrants officers went
through local medical colleges. At the
Omaha Medical College they found a regu-
lar charnal house, corpses being scattered
about with the most reckless abandon. In
the picking vat they found the bodies of
seven white men, two colorea men and one
white woman. all packed in a box ks feet
square partially filled with brine.
