MURDER in CHICAGO
AN UNUSUALLY ATROCIOUs AMI
BLOODY DEED.
A J"nitOr Is Murdered for Money
and His Body II Afterward HOrri-
bly, Mutilatcd and Forced Into =
Small Box.

Chicago. Dec. 9.-The dead body of
A. ID. Barnes, janitor of the Hiawatha
building, 253 Thirty-seventh street,
was found famed into case, which
had been thrust into hole beneath
the sidewalk on South Park avenue,
between Sixty-third and Sixty fourth
streets.
The body, which was naked, with
the exception Of a pair of socks, bore
over q score Of ugly wounds, half of
them sufficient to cause death, even
If the man had sustained no further
injury than the one blow. The wounds
had evidently been inflicted with both
the cutting edge and the blunt side of
an aX, and covered the body from the
right temple down to the knees.
Two men are in custody charged
with the crime. Edward Jordan, the
assistant janitor, and Lewis Jersey, a
man Of no occupation, are the two.
Inc crime was unquestionably COM
mttted in the basement of the house,
as the police discovered there late in
the day the clothing worn by Barns
when last seen alive and the blood
smeared ak. Signs of struggle were
plainly visible, showing that Barns
must have made hard fight for his
life. No other motive than that Of
robbery is ascribed for the crime, for
Barnes, as far as known, had no enc
mics, and watch and $50 in money
which he had upon his person when
last seen, are missing.
The police are also looking for Annie
Mohaney, a girl with whom Barnes
was at one time very intimate. There
is no special clue leading up to the
Mohapey girl.
After killing Barnes in the basement
the murdorers enleavored to shove the
body face downward into a packing
case three and one-half feet long, two
feet wide aud ten inches deep. In
order to fore. the boly in TIE legs had
been bent rnde: the trunk and the
right leg had been broken above the
k"sr in order to facilitate the pack
ing operation. The left hip had been
slached and pounded with the AK in
order to allow the bending OF the
body. In addition to these wounds
there was three .cornered hole in the
left temple dealt with awful force, and
which must have killed the recipient
instantly. The boey was hacked in
such a manner as to make it appear
that the murlerers had rolled it over
and over and chopped it, just as
though it was nothing but u log OF
wood

pleasant duty to perform this morn

Minneapolis L. Cedar Valley Railway
company. There were two Minnesota
revenue bonds of $4,000 each. issued
in 1889: also one Minnesota building
bond of $4,000, issued the same year.
In addition to these there We're 1877

Mexico City, Mex, Dee. 8 - The
latest reports from the Guatemala
frontier are of a more serious char
acter than any which have yet reached
this capital. 1t is claimed a Mexican
colonel has been assassinated by the
Guatemalans. From unofficial sources
it is also reported that a company of
the Nineteenth battalion of the Mexi-
can forces have had two skirmishes
with force of 400 Guatemalan gueril-
