At 40 O'Clock this morning the
body of Dolores Ortiz, a Mexican,
was found lying between the car
shed and coal chutes, in the /. &
G.. N.yards, covered with blood,
the man having been murdered
by some unknown party, his body
being stabbed in several places
AS soon as the news of the crime
spread over the city, a reporter
visited the scene and obtained the
following facts:
At the hour above stated, Section
Foreman Gilmore reported to the
train dispatcher of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern railway
that he had found the body of a
Mexican lying in the place as
above described. The police author
tiles were notified, and upon their
arrival, found the man lying in a
"spread-eagle" position, with deep
cash in his left side just above the
heart, and another in the lower
side of the left jaw. His face was
covered with blood, and foam was
seen coming from his mouth, max
ing a horrible sight.
In the right hand of the de-
ceased was found a rusty butcher
knife, the blade of which showed
no signs of blood, which goes to
prove that the man did not sui
eide In the left hand was seen a
partially smoked cigarette. In the
crook of his left arm was half
pint flask partly filed with
whiskey.
Coroner Z. Griff Jones was sum-
moned and viewed the body find
ing that he had not only been
stabbed in the heart and jaw, but
back of the left ear, on his breast
and i'm several other places on his
body. In the pocket of his pants
on the left side were found $16.l5.
Coroner Jones, after making a
thorough examination, issued a
burial permit, and will take the
Testimony of witnessesstOmorrow.
Between 9 and 10 O'clock last
might Ortiz purchased half pint
of whisky at the saloon just Oppo-
site the /. & q. n. depot, and hand
ed the bartender a $40 gold piece
to pay for same, and it is thought
the murder was committed by
some one who saw him with the
money, with the intent to rob
him.
Ortiz was a man 50 years OF age,
residing on the corner of Frio and
West Commerce streets, and leaves
a wife and two children to mourn
his loss. He was a hard working,
honest man, and had been en-
ployed by the /. & G. n. Railway
company for the past six or eight
months as sand dryer.
The city authorities are at work
on the case, and will endeavor in
every possible way to ascertain
clue as to who committed the
crime.
