CHICAGO, March S.-Carefully con-
ceaied in barrel and covered with
mass OF old rags and cotton the dead
bodies of a gray-haired old man and a
new born babe were found in an alley in
Hyde Park to-day. In consequence the
police are working on what they con-
slider q double murder. Only one clew
is in their possession. and on the dis
covery of the Identity OF q woman, as
yet unknown to the police, depends the
possible solution OF the mystery.
Early this forenoon, the office in Raj
ston's Hyde Park morgue was rung up
on the telephone and woman. who de-
ellned TO give either her name or adj
dress, asked II the body of man had
been found In Hyde Park. The office
attnedant replied in the negative and
then questioned the woman, but his
best efforts failed 10 get any informa-
tion OF a decided character, although
She told the clerk she was looking for
man that was missing, She was bnally
prevailed upon 70 give his description
which she did in minute detail. She
nstonished the morgue attendant by
saying In conclusion that he would GER
tainly learn more about the case later
on.
Four hours later the barrel with It's
ghastly contents was discovered IN the
rear OF the house at 4S2e Indiana ave-
me, The body OF the man tailed In al
most every respect with the description
furnished by the mysterious woman
over the telephone wire and the police
unhesltatingiy. connected her with the
case. In the barrel also was the body OF
a boy not over ten days old.
j. a. Nurse, residing In Prairie ave
nue., while emptying pan OF ashes In
the alley at the rear OF his home dis
covered a barrel which aroused his curl
osity. Breaking open the head OF the
receptacle he was horrified upon seeing
the hacked body OF an old man inside.
It was entirely nude. Covering the
corpse was thick layer Of cotton, The
police were at once notified and the
barrel Tns removed 10 the morgue. The
head and trunk gave every evidence OF
foul play, the skull showing several
deep wounds. on the left forearm
were tatooed 1--WE spots close together.
There was nothing else to give any clew
TO the mans Identity. After the sever
cd pieces Of the body had been lifted
from the barrel the body OF the baby
Wns found. II was nude, save Tor
thin flannel shirt. and there were two
marks on the side OF the head, appar-
emily made with q blunt instrument.
The body OF the elder male was that
OF a man between slxty-five and seven
ty years OF age.
1;he police laugh at the theory that II
was the work OF medical students and
are positive In their statements that the
man and child were murdered.

is rumored that the next move OF the
Democratic combine Of bosses on the
political checker-board will be a mi
ner's strike In the Kanawha and New
river region and along the Norfolk &
Western Railway. The rumor Is semi
officially confirmed, and 1t may be add
ed that Third district politics will be
affected to such an extent that upon
its success may depend the name Of

about the nomination. But when u
comes 10 electlng the ticket, the trou-
bic begins.
The miners in this valley have had
no organization, other than nominal,
for some time. Reductions In the price

organization. When organized the
men wIll be In a position TO night Tor

Kanawha valley Is being worked up at
the present time and the probabilities
are that a strike will follow.

combine Is as follows:

continues, passed beyond that stage

The result will probably be. the dis

The article then, admitting that the
