a Murder Case Dismissed.

At the session Cf the District Court
at Austin last week Judge Fitzgerald
dismissed the case of John D. Hyder
and wife, who were charged with muir
dering an old man named Casey near
Galena about 18 months ago. at the
time Casey's body was found the Hyd-
ers were arrested on suspicion of hav-
ing killed him, but the Grand Jury
discharged them. Some time after
ward the Lander authorities claimed
to have found new evidence against
them and they were re-arrested and
have remained in Jail since. When
the case was called for trial it trans
pired that there was not even sufIi-
Gent evidence to show that murder
had been committed, much less con-
meet the Hyders in any way with
Casey's death, 30 the Judge dismsed
the case.

The last few days, whenever snow has
fallen in Salt Lake City, a white sedi-
ment has been left wherever the snow
touched. There has been much sDecula-
ton as to the actual cause; the local
scientists have been and are now divided
upon that point. There are those who In
sist that the sediment was taken uD
from the bosom OF Great Salt Lake.
There are others who believe the deposit
Is sulDhate of soda, which Is thrown up

destrians who happened to be out in
the storm did not notice anything out OF
the way until their clothing dried, when
l. was discerned that the apparel was
literally sprinkled with what appearad
TO be salt. The deposit is OF a saline
nature. That was discovered by the aD-
plication OF the tongue.

ton on the proposed amendments. The

pied the chair. and after a full discussion
Of the subject, Mr.. n. r. Savage offered

Whereas. the Chamber of Commerce has
recommended certain changes in the

AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
His Dead body Found on the York
River Railroad Track.


An accident of somewhat Mysterious
character. in which an unknown eoioreu
man was killed. occurred early yesterday
morning on the York-River Branch OF
the Southern railroad. about lhree
squares below the Lower gas-works.
The first intimation OF the fatality
came from a track-walker who reported
that he had discovered the dead BODY
about $50 O'Clock From the clothing worn
by the man Il is more than probable that
he was a tramp. and was either steallng
a ride on the local freight, which passes
that locality about s o'clock, or was
ATTEMPTING TO Jump on the train, when
losing his balance. he fell under the
wheels and thus met his death. Perhaps
the most reasonable theory Is that the
man was stealing a ride underneath
are girded. A fra gment OF bone. a sus-
pender-button or two, and piece or sus-
pender similar TO that worn by the un-
fortunate man. were found at a point
lay, the latter caught under one OF the
spikes holding down the rail.
Coroner Taylor viewed the body, but
was unable to ascertain any of the cir
cumstances of the accident. or even to
learn the name of the victim. The Coroner
having no testimony upon which to hold
an inquest, 'phoned for the dead-wagon,
and had the body removed at the morgue
at the almshouse. where it is held for
identification.
The man was horribly mangled. The
trunk Is torn and twisted from head
10 waist. and IS almost severed where
the wheels passed over the breast. The
head and face are fearfuly scraped, and
iacerated by being dragged over the
gravel ballast. while the right ear was
completely torn of.
From the scattered fragments OF hesh
and clothing Il is evident that the body
was dragged at least square.
