ing Of it. The fact of Kreinsen 90
ing to Mr.. Crawford may be taken
now as evidence of Bastian's cunning
in sending him on such a mission bv
disappearing his purpose to buy
The note, and thus removing in ad-
vance any suspicion Crawford might
have when the note came to him
from Bastian's hand, after Kreinsen
had been disposed of. But this is
but one incident in connection with
Bastian's money matters. Where the
money which Bastian had from time
to time went, is a question. Carrie
Bastian stated on her recent visit to
Rock Island that her brother owed
her about $1,000, this assertion be-
ing made in response to an inquiry
as to why her brother should have
been SO considerable of her to the ex-
clusion of his wife in his last mes
sage. Further, Bastian never had
money TO pay his hands. His meth
od seems to have been to kill them
when their money was due. This is
true Of kuschmann, of Lauderbach,
and OF kreinsen, at least, and is
likely so of his other victims who
have been mentioned.
Never II adj Much Money.
When Bastian was in THE ARGUS
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1896-04-11

ton has been rewarded by evidence
in support of the belief that Bastian
was interested in Colorado mining
stock. That he had made one posi-
tive investment of this kind is known,
and there is fair proof that he
at another time planted $1,000
at one clip. and how much
on other occasions is unknown.
There are those who assert absolute
knowledge of Bastian having gam
bled in Rock Island, not only on the
occasion of visits here in the day time,
but that. he had spent nights here.
Carrie 3astian, his confident, asserts
positively that her brother was
scarcely away from home at nights;
that he was domestic in his habits, a
good provider for his family, of
whom he was very fond, and to whom
he always evinced the most tender
attachment.
1t is known that the night before
Bastian suicided he was to have been
initiated into a beneficiary insurance
society in Milan, bu: he did not ap-
pear.
Still Willing to Hold the Inquest.
Deputy Coroner Eckhart last even
ing reiterated his willingness to hold
the inquest over the remains of Fred
kuschmann if the coroner were to
consent to his doing so. He further
declared that the second inquisition
would net involve cent OF expense
to the county. This being the case
it will be difficult to imagine WHY
further objection could be enter
tanned, and it will probably be held
carly next week.
Coroner Halves said late this after
noon that if the inquest must be held
he was willing-and he believed now
That the pressure for it was sufficient
to warrant it. He proposed, how
ever, to consult the states attorney

office. after the killing of Kuschmann.
to explain certain matters relative to
the fatal nigh: and to endeavor to
have corrections made by The ARGUS
OF what it had said of the circum.
stances Of the murder. he said that
the day kuschmann met his fate he
had come to town and collected all
but $40 of the amount needed to pay
him-f19.e5. When asked If be
could tell where he got the money,
he said he had already informed the
states attorney, and that he knew.
Mr.. SearIe said afterward that he
had done nothing of the kind. 1t
has since been learned tina: the most
Bastian got in town tina. day was a
little over IS.
The appearance Of his farm prop
erty shows that he did not expend
money about his place. In fact.
everything was deplorably run down.
The natural effect of all this is -
give fresh interest to the inquiry,
what did he do with his money.

WHERE IT WENT.
Well Founded Theory as to
Bastian's Money.
PUT IT IN WESTERN MINING STOCK

The Reason the Black Hawk Man Slayer
Was Always Ont of Cash Attributed to
Ipjudicious Investments-S,ory of Some
OF His Transactions.
A question of absorbing public
interest since the disclosure of the
character Of Henry Bastian has been
Us to what became of his money.
Readers Of THE ARGUS have from to
time become familiar with the various
irregular transactions in which Bas-
tian participated and through which
he came by money. One of these was
when he forged the names of his par
ents to a mortgage on the farm which
by the grace of his mother he occupied
and also counterfeited the name of
the notary under which he received
1880. A5oiher was when he re-
ceived from Hon. w. +. Crawford
$500 on note the latter had given
TO Fritz kreinsen, one of Bastian's
victims, the latter explaining that
be had gotten it by ''shaving" it.
And by the way the mystery of
this affair is developed by the fact
that prior to Bastian's presenting
the paper to Mr.. Crawford, Kreinsen
had informed him that Bastian had
proposed buying the note and that
unless objected to by Mr.. Crawford,
he would turn it over to him. Mr..
Crawford was perfectly willing, and
later. when Bastian brought the note
around. Mr.. Crawford thought moth

before deciding definitely.
Expected Fake Is Devc!opel,

A fake was attempted this after
noon in connection with the Bastian
grounds, the information being
brought to THE ARGUS that Sheriff
Hemenway had engaged spiritual
list to locate the bodies on the farm
tomorrow. Sheriff Hemenway was
communicated with and said that he
had givea his consent to no such
procedure, or to any further in
vestigation until it should be re-
sumed by his forces-which would
probably be Monday. If anything is
done tomorrow it will be bv the
Lessee for the purpose Of drawing a
crowd.
And This May or May Not BE a Fake.
Late this afternoon report came
in that a club, the end OF which was
covered hair and blood, bloody neck
yoke and piece of chain had been
found under the corn crib by a citi-
zen OF Rock Island. Owing to the
lateDess of the hour the accuracy
of the news not be verified, and
it may be another ssfake". 1t was to
prevent possibility of such imposi-
ton that The AeGUs yesterday urgei
