HORRIBLE MURDER.
John Ledcriek Pound Buried With
His skull Crushed


On Friday last word was brought to
the city, that the body AZ vassupposed
Of John Lederick, had been found be-
hind his barn 10 an advanced stage Of
decomposition. 1t seems that the un-
fortunate man who lived alone on bis
farm five miles south Of Cornelius, had
not been seen for about two weeks, and
some of the neighbors thinking 1t very
strange that he had not been seen for a
long time, vent to his place but found
the doors locked and no signs Of the
missing man. They instituted search
on Wednesday, but not until Friday
were their efforts rewarded by the find-
ing Of the body. which was buried
only about six or eight inches deep in
the manure pile. The stencil aris-
ing from the place directed search
ia that direction. The coroner, DIR.
Wood being notified summoned
DR.. F. A. Bailey who had the remains
exhumed aud made a post mortem
examination of the body. The flesh
was so decayed as to fall from the bones
as the heat from the manure in which
1t had lain for two weeks FASTENED Its
decomposition markedly. The skull
was found to have been crushed and
broken extensively, the lnurderer's
work evidently having been done with
some very heavy weapon. The body
was concealed as above stated, the
house locked up and the assassin
made good his escape. The
murder was committed on Fri
day night of the 18th, as Lederick was
seen on the forenoon of that date, but
not since that time alive. The crime
does not seem to have been committed
for m iiney, but is involved in consider
/, BILE mystery, and no very certain clue
to the perpetratoi has yet been OBJ
tanned. The coroner's jury, we learn,
has the matter still under Investigation
and with the aid of the people and
prosecuting attorney will leave no
stone unturned to find the guilty
assassin,

WHO Is A PLUTOGRAf?

Governor Pennoyer has disdained to
answer, either through inability or fear
as to the results, any of the questions
THE JOURNAL has asked him the past
three months. He gets out Of all such
predicaments by calling The JOURNAL
a plutocratic paper. He is himself
worth one-half to three quarteas Of a
million made under the lumber trust.
He recommended the head Of the cor
poration lobby and corporation law
yer for federal judge for life. He re-
fused to stand by the work Of his own
state board Of equalization in raising
Multnomab county mortgages to 100
cents ON the dollar for purposes Of as
sessment. If Pennoyer can show that
The JOURNAL has ever favored capital
istic or corporation interests as he has
AS A MATTER of RECORD, we will meek
ly accept the title of plutOcrat, because
we would be entitled to it. or course,
Pennoyer cannot be expected to dis
cuss any of those matters. He keeps
judiciously silent about them. That is
his only safety. He has all his alleged
organs of the people keep silent too.
His brood of plutOcratic time servers
are hired to help fool the farmers and
lsborers and suppress the facts IN re-
gard to Pennoyer's record. But those
facts must lie published and the COVER
nor will find them flung in his face
wherever he goes.

The Fate of n Fool HTule.

There is a dead mule back in Ken
tuclly. a sun-cOlOred. fool mule. For a
long time this mule and a swagger
young bull have lived on the farm of
the Benedictine monks, beyond Gov
ingtOn. When the brothers rose the
other day there was an unearthlv
sound in the pasture lot below the
monastery. The blood ran in streams
from the bulls nose and mouth. The;
mule was unhurt. He was moving on
a pivot, with his heels ever toward the
big. angry brute on the circumference.
of the circle trOdden in the grass. Sud-
denly, with lowered head and below
like thunder. the bull rushed at the
mule. There was a flash of steel,
thud and the bull was on his knees, the
mule was on the kick. Time and again
the bull went down before the mules
lightning feet. Once more he made the
rush, then retired. seemingly beaten.
The mule looked about. shook himself,
and began to eat grass. The first time
his eyes had left that bull the latter
saw his chance. When he had finished
with the mule there was scarcely
enough left to bury. One of the monks
said he was n fool, like every other
mule: then they killed the bull to put
him out of his misery. Cincinnati
