POINTS TO MURDER
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY on DOUGLASS
AVENUE BRIDGE Z r MIDNE IT.

Blood Dripping on the Kai,s of the Bridge
into the Swift Current ieIow--Biy Rock
Sticking to 1.-two Large Pools of
Blood on the Foot Wsy--Police Running
the Case Down with a Very Strong sus-
picion--Rirer to be Dragged This
Morning.
Undoubtedly there was a terrible
murder committed on the Douglas ave-
1ue bridge al midnight last night.
Shortly after midnight a young man
named Coleman was coming across the
bridge and when he was about over
the middle of the river where the cur
rent was the swiftest he noticed a pool
ef blood as big around as a table plate
and beside it big rock or heavy coal
thinker
The young man ran as hard as he
could To the police station and report
ed what ne had found.
Officer Dunbar was detailed at once
and he went to the scene.
He brought the rock to the police sta
ton at once and examined it.
IT was covered with fresh human
blood and the long auburn hair of a
woman.
At l o'clock this morning reporter
for the Eagle went to the scene and ex-
Hmined it,
The blood was found on the south
footway of the bridge and about half
way from the east to west exactly over
the channel of the river where the cur
rent ran very heavy
IL seemed that at lea eff ha II mint of
blood was split in two big blotches one
on the north and the other on the south
side of the footway
Some one suggested that a dog may
have been killed with the rock and on
the first thought that seemed reason
able, but 1T was soon proven erroneous.
If il had been a dog the blood would
be on trail, but in this case there was
not spot either a foot east or west OF
where the deed was committed. Then
again no animal has hair two feet long
as the hair clinging TO that rock fully
mea sured.
A match was lighted and further
examination made
The footway Of the bridge is guarded
by three iron rails. The top rail show
ed a good deal of blood which was still
dripping.
Beneath on the board floor there was
a pool of blood as big as a saucer which
was caused evidently from the wound
while the party wounded was being
hoisted over the railing into the flood
below.
The blow was struck on the north
side of the footway where it fell form
ing the pool of blood. Then there was
signs of it. being dragged across the
footway, three feet wide to the south
side where another pool of blood form
ed. and then lifted over the iron rails.
Not drop of blood is on any other
part Of the bridge but that
On the outside Of the fOotway there
is another pool of blood which proves
beyond doubt that the wounded per-
son was thrown into the river.

There is strong probability that
Governor Lord win not only appoint
new railroad commissioners, but that
he will also FIJI all other Offices which
the Legislature should have provided
for by election. There does not seem
to be amy room for doubt as to his
legal right to do this under the con-
stitution of the state, and as the gov
ernor is known to be a pretty good
lawyer, 1t is very unlikely that there
will be any serious question Of his
authority to do so. The constitutional
provision was evidently framed to
meet just such am emergency as has
arisen, and is really so plain that 1t can
hardly be disputed.

cept Uhe Gripping and humiliation OF
the government itself. These acts are
not the acts Of partisans; they are not
the acts of men bent upon revenge;
they are the acts of traitors and mad
men. When 1t comes to the point
where men are not merely willing to
subordinate public interests to private
aims, but TO actually level Legislative
rifle at the heart Of the government
itself, it is treason. This congress is
worse than "brutish" 1t is collection

Paine's celery compound is found to
best supply the great need of stu
dlous, sedentary people. Its extensive
use by brain workers, both men and
women, suffering from sleeplessness
indigestion, or other effects of def
cient nerve force, shows its ability to
feed tired, emaciated nervous tissues
Nothing else has ever possessed amy
thing like the power of Paine's celery
compound to restore a healthy nervous
tone to the entire body and to thor
ougihly cleanse the blood. School teach
ers, professional men, newspaper men,
ministers, public officials, men whose
daily outlay of vitality, because of
hard trying anxious work, is eXces-
sive, find renewed strength, not only
of the nerves, but through their heal
thy action, of the entire body, in
Paines celery compound. Its use short
ly dispels headaches, rheumatic pains,
dyspepsia, heart trouble, general debil-
ity and lapguor, and all other outward
signs of the grave mistake that comes
from disordered nerves and impure
blood.
