A CASE OF SUICIDE OR A MURDER.
The Body of the Victim Found in
the River
a Bullet-Hole in his Head-Nothing
on His Body to Identify the
Deceased.

There lies at the Morgue in this city the
body of an unknown young man of pre-
possessing appearance which was taken
from the river yesterday at a point on
Grand Island, about opposite the village
of Isleton.
4 Mrs. Morse and her daughter were
yesterday sitting at a window in their
house overlooking the winding river,
when Miss Morse called her motber's at
tention to dark object floating slowly
down the sluggish stream. She declared
human being.
The two ladies hastened down tc the
river bank, uumoored their boat and
pulled out into The stream, overtaking
the floating object before il got Tar away.
And sure enough, Miss Morse's sus
p!clons were reaIized-it was the body of
a man.
The young lady had taken piece of
baliug rope along, and this she tied about
one arm of the body and ii was towed TO
the shore and made fast to the bushes.
Then she telephoned TO Coroner Clark
the nature of the discovery, and Deputy
Coroner was dispatched to the island for
the body, which was brought to the city
and now awaits Identification.
1t is that of young man OF apparently
IS years of age and OF fine appearance.
The victim is OF dark complexion and
appears 10 be either German or Italian.
II was about > feet inches in hight and
weighed perhaps 100 pounds.
The deceased was dressed in a new
pepper-and-sa suit. white shirt and
striped underwear, and about his neck
was a white silk handkerchief. bis hair
is dark aud thick, and he wore heavy.
dark mustache. In the cuffs of The shirt
are pair of square gold buttons but
there were no other vaiuables and not q
scrap of paper about his clothing.
n tho center OF his forehead is a scar,
and over the right temple fresh bullet
wound, indicating that he either shot
himself or was murdered.
Az the Coroner's Office the belief is ex-
pressed thatNhe deceased was dead when
his body reached the river. as the eyes
and mouth were closed which is not The
case with the bodies of drowned persons.
The deceased is unknown 10 anyone
about the COroner's office, but possibly
someone may be able to-day to identity
him.
The appearance of the body indicates
that il had been in the water but a few
days.

IL DAsAN - 4.lAtfUED W a IL NION -.
TO tie Board Of Trustees: Some
months ago, when permission was
granted by your board TO the street
sprinklers to use the fireplugs for the
purpose OF filling the sprinklIng carts,
informed your board in a message that it
was a privilege that should not have been
granted TO them, and that they should be
compelled TO use the standpipes, as was
the rule in former years.
In addition 10 the objection that the use
Of the 1ireplugs by the street sprinklers
causes muddy pools to form, there is an
other reason why the practice should De
discontinued. Many OF the drivers are
careless in fastening on the caps of the
plugs, and boys are in the habit of filling
the cavity with rocks and other materials
II is essential that the tireplugs should be
kept clear Tor the use OF the Fire Depart
ment, and no one should be permitted to
use or inspect the same except the Fire
Department and the City Taper.
AZ evidence of the above statement. /
send to you with this message three
rocks or pieces of stone which were taken
from the top OF iireplug by City Taper
| Watt lie reports that on other occasions
he has found stones in plugs in different
parts of the city. This IS no trivial mat
ter, but demands immediate attention.
The privilege given 10 the street sprinK-
Iers should be rescinded at once, and IN
the future they should be compelled to
use The standpipes. Respectfully sub
mitted, B. I. SrEINMAN, Mayor,

A CONTRACT VETOED.


CONTRACT VETOED.
To the Board of Trustees: I return to
you without my approval the contract
two horses for the patrol wagon for the
sum of S275. l refuse to sign this con-
tract because the purchase was made be-
fore the contract was entered into. The
horses were bought about a month ago
and put in service immediately. The
charter explicitly states that IN contracts
exceeding $l00 it shall be necessary TO
obtain my approval or pass the same
over my veto.
BY indulging in such practice as above
it appears TO me that your board IS at
tempting deliberately TO ignore me III the
matter and set aside the plain and wise
provisions OF the charter.
I also desire to call the attention of your
board to the fact that the charter evil
IDENTIFY contemplates that in purchasing
property or supplies amounting TO over
500 tie city should advertise for bids and
give every body s. chance, without at
tempting TO favor some single individual.
This is what a man would do in his own
business and the city's business ought to
be attended to as carefully. Respectfully
submitted. b. u. STEINMAN, Mayor.
