ROBBED AND BURNED
BODY OF CHICAGO BUTCHER
FOUND ALONGSIDE A TREE.
Evidence that the Man Had Been
Tied, Murdered md an Effort Made
to Burn the Remains.

CHICAGO Feb 35.-Evidences of what
the police think is a frightful murder mys-
terry were found to-day when two children
discovered the mutilated body of a man
in a lonely locality at Ninety-third street
and Western avenue The body, which was
that of a man about twenty-five years old,
was found in sitting posture,
leaning against the tree. The hands.
legs and lower part of the body
were badly burned. deep gashes
were found in the head and about the waist
were the remnants of charred and singea
rope. The theory that the man had been
tied and burned to death was at first laughed
at by the police, but later investigation
seemed to prove either that he had been
murdered and an attempt made to conceal
the crime by burning the body that he
had really been burned at the stake. That
the man could have been burned to death
was hardly thought probable by the police,
but the spot where the body was jo1nI
is an isolated one on the prairie and a con-
siderable distanced from any dwellings. The
man had evidently been dead for some time
as the feet had been gnawed to the bones
by dogs. The face was not badly nutilated
and the officers hope for an naturalization

dress, but were deciphered with great diff
Guilty. A large amount of kerosene had
been poured over the body in order that
it might burn more rapidly. From the let
ters it is supposed the man had a sister
in st. Clair, Mich, named Wilhelmina
Wulf. The last seen of Holzhuter was three
weeks ago, when, with $3.50 in his pos
session, he went out to buy cattle.
Late this evening the police arrested a sa-
the Thirty -fifth-street police station where
he was subjected to a thorough examina-
ton. He denied any knowledge of the
butchers death, further than that the latter
had been in his saloon on the day before his
disappearance was known. Marzen will be
held to await the verdict of the coroners
jury. 1t was learned that Holzhuter made
an appointment with MarZen to leave for
Elgin Wednesday morning, Jan. 30 At @
o'clock that morning he called at the saloon,
where he remained an hour, and then left
with the saloon keeper for Emerald avenue
and Thrty-fourth street to buy COW. Mar
zen asserts that on the way they smet a
man who stopped them and began to talk
with Holzhuter concerning the purchase OF
an ice wagon. Marzen says he left them
talking and went back to his saloon, and has
not seen HoZhuter since.

quilted. The mother and son, ten years

before or after the shooting. All she would
say was that she shot her father because
she thought he was going to kill her mother.

JONES He HAS A PLAN
The Arkansas Senator Wants to Fix
the Currency.
IT'S A MONGREL AFFAIR
Designed for the Purpose of Har-
monizing the Factions Silver
> Doesn't Get a Very
Good Place.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The probabili-
ties are that the beginning of the week
will see the introduction of still another
currency bill in the senate. Senator Jones
of Arkansas, who, at n critical stage of
the tariff legislation took the matter in
hand and harmonized the different ele-
ments so as to bring definite results out
OF n decidedly chaotic condition, is the
author of the new bill, and he comes to
the front this time as n compromiser and
harmonizer.
There have been objections made to
the bills prepared by Senators Vest and
Mcpherson on the ground, in tho case of
the Vest bill, that il leans too much to-
ward silver; and in tho case of tho Nc
Pherson bill, that it is too exclusively in
the interest of bonds. Senator Jones
realizes that silver and bonds are two
antagonizing elements in the question
and his effort has been to prepare a meas
ure which will. perhaps, not be all that
the friends of either cause will naturally
demand, but will in tho end secure the
support of both elements. Ho has been
in consultation with many of tho leaders
of both tu csc contending elements in tho
senate and it is understood his bill as out
lined has received very favorable endorse
tllcting interests.
1t is also understood that tho terms of
the bill arc not unfamiliar to tho leaders
of the house. Furthermore, it is probable
that it has been brought to the attention
of the proper authorities in the executive
branch of the government. The bill will
first provide for the issuance of 2E per
cent. bonds to the amount of 5OO,OJ0,OO0.
which are to be paid in gold and are to be
used both for the purpose of meeting the
current expenses of tho government and
the redemption of United States and
treasury notes. The bill will also provide
for the issue of bank notes to take the
place of treasury notes in such n way as
not to produce contraction of the cur
rency.
Another provision is that the national
banks shall be allowed to issue up to their
par value and the tax on national bank
circulation is fixed at one-fourth of ono
per cent.
In the interest of silver the bill provides
for its unlimited coinage under the condi-
tion that the holder of silver bullion may
take it to the mint and have it coined into
silver dollars, tho government retain
ing as seigniorage the difference between
the coming value of the bullion and its
market value on the day that the bullion
is taken to the mints.
The bill also provides for the withdrawal
from circulation of all greenbacks, treas
ury notes and national bank notes below
$50 and the substitution of silver certifi-
Gates in denominations of less than $50,
which are to be payable in silver. The
bill Will contain provisions providing
against either undue imitation or contrac-
tion.
