CATTLE-Only forty-nine cars ot cattle
of all kinds were reported received today,

exhausted.
Cows and heifers also sold at about steady
prices, and the few loads soon changed

heifers brought $3.50.

Found in His Barn with His Head Crushed
and His Feet Tied Together.

BIZ HAMroS, Oct, 20.-Las evening at about
To'ciock A. J. Pepper, rs years Of age, a bachelor
farmer living near Rush. Pa, went to the barn
to husk some corn. When late at night he did
not return to the house his stepmother lighted
b lantern And went in search of him. She went
to the BARN and found him lying on the floor.
with his hands and feet tied and his head
crushed Near by lay the whifietree OF an old
wagon. on which there was blood. Mrs. Pepper
is 81 years of age. but she managed TO go nearly
3 mile to the nearest neighbor TO give the alarm.
Drs. Grange and Warner OF Rush hurried to the
scene of the murder. They found the victim
alive. but no never rcgained consciousness,
dying at 8 o'clock this afternoon. The amir
tion showed that there had been a fearful strug-
gle IN the barn, and that, the old farmer had
Fought hard for his life, only giving up when his
face and head we're f~earfully battered.
The murderers left no clue and are still at large.
The motive of the crime was probably robbery,
but the murderer did not secure any booty.
About 500 was found in the murdered mans
pockets. and there was quite a large sum of
money in the house. The place where the crime
was committed is on the Wyalusing Creek road,
o lonely and sparseIy uninhabited section.
There are many theories, but the most plausible
Is that the plan of the murderers was to bind
and gag the old man and woman and then loot
the place. They attacked him and he fought so
hard that they killed him, Then, seeing what
they had done, they became frightened and fed.

POLE ROBBED BIZ Poles.
they Choked Him with n Rope in y Vacant
Lot in Jersey city.

Lot IN Sersey Cty.
Stephen Warga, a Polish farm laborer. who
has been working at Metuchen, y. J., came to
this city on Monday to have a good time on $500
that he had saved up. He spent $50 on clothing
and then went into a saloon at Is Washington
street. There he met two other Poles, Louis
Washwahre and Michael Sincowitz. who live at
81 Greenwich street. He struck up an acquaint-
Rnce with them. and. under the influence OF
many drinks. confded to them that he had $50
In his pocket. Washwahre and Sincowitz i'm.
mediately became very solicitous for him.. They
warned him of the perils which beset a man who
has money. and, after advising him to get back
to Metuchen as quickly as he could, volunteered
to escort him TO his train.
His new acquaintance escorted him to Jersey
City, whore they i~nveigled him to a vacant lot
in First street, between Provost and Henderson
streets. There, he says, Sincowitz put o rope
around his neck and choked him into uncon-
seriousness The thieves then stole his money
and his gold watch and chain, leaving him
senseless on the ground.
When WarEa recovered consciousness he
made his way to the railroad station and went
back to Metuchen on his return ticket. which
the thieves had left him. On Tuesday he re-
turned with a friend, and toward evening they
caught Washwahre ana Sincowitz at Washing
ton and Rector streets. They held on to them
until q policeman came along and took the men
In custody.
Yesterday they were arraigned in the Centre
Street Police Court and held to await extradi.
tion. Detective McNally of Jersey City was in
