Turtles in the Stream Had
Eaten Off Flesh.
Medical Examiner Says That Un-
fortunate Fell From Bridge.
Police on the Other Hand Are Con.
vinced II Is Case Of Murder.

South Braintree Mass, June S.-The
authorities of this district are greatly puz-
zled over the discovery this morning of
the body of man in n brook, near the
source Of the Monatiquot river, here.
The medical examiner is of the opinion
that tho man met his death by drowning,
but the police do not agree with him.
The body was found in the middle Of
tho brook which runs under Union street
bridge. Stafford Brigham, local butcher,
while driving over the bridge at about
1880 O'Clock saw the head and shoulders of
man protruding out CT the brook. With
the aid of young man PASSING by, he
brought the body onto the highway where
it was found that the front and side of
the face had been badly cut and several
gashes were found on the back OF the
neck. a large cut extended from the right
eye to the upper jaw, making complete
fracture.
Turtles in tho brook alec had eaten
away the flesh making the body of most
unsightly appearance. Medical Examiner
j. &. Frazer was notified and decided that
the wounds were made, by the body strik-
ing on stone In. the brook4sEear the
bridge and by the turtles. He expressed
the opinion that the man fell from the
bridge and was drowned.
Ihe police. however, refuse TO accept
this theory and are investigating the case.
The body is that of man 55 years of
age, weighing $50 pounds and about five
feet four and one-half inches in height.
The hair was gray and the head very
bald. The man also had a grayish NOUS
tache. The body was dressed in black
SUIT, black alpaca shirt, heavy woolen
hose and heavy shoes, which had been
lately rcsoled. In the pockets were found
"A number of lead pencils bunch Of
matches a piece OF soap and two copies
of the Salvation Army War Cry, dated
June 3. Several handkerchiefs were also
found. One was marked III. A. Haw-
iey." 1t Is thought the handkerchiefs
were stolen from the yard of Henry A.
Hawley of Weymouth. Mr.. Hawley can
not give any other explanation of the
finding of the handkerchiefs
The police think the dead man may
have been "A tramp and that he took the
handkerchiefs while travelling from Wey-
mouth to Braintree two days ago.
The police made an examination OF the
Union street bridge during the forenoon,
from which 1t is thought the man fell or
was thrown. They found two blood
spots on the railing next TO the place
where the body was found On the bot
tom board of the railing there are several
distinct prints of shoes which look as IL
a struggle of some sort had recently taken
place.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.
Nav Wheat Closes Higher-Pork
2 1-2 q 5 Higher-May Oats
Higher.

Chicago. March 19.-The dizziness OF
speculation was distinctly apparent in
the grain markets today. What trade
there was in wheat was almost ex-
clusively local in its character, with
no particular effort being made either
to advance or depress prices early A
strong opening was attributable to a
higher Liverpool market, q in the ad-
vance taking place there. After the
first ten minutes the action became
slow and sluggish, prices receding to
the extent of the early gain. English
consols were steady, which rather
tended to offset the war dispatches in
the morning papers Receipts in the
northwest were heavier, 297 cars ar
irving against 172 last Friday and 500
a year ago Chicago received 20 cars
Closing Paris cables were lower, Berlin
higher and Antwerp unchanged. Some
export sales at New York and moder-
ate business on milling account at this
place started prices upward near the
close, the feeling developing consider
able strength. May wheat opened at
74A @74z4, sold between 1875 and 1915,
closing at Is bids higher than yes
terday. Estimated receipts for tomor-
row, Is cars. No. red spot wheat sold

Chicago Live Stock.

Union Stock Yards, March 19.-This
has been a week of meagre supplies
of cattle even for the Lenten season.
The receipts will foot up only Al, 500
head against $4,000 last week, and 55,-
800 for the corresponding week last
year. There was a fair Friday supply
today, and prices were barely steady
Hogs-Hogs are now selling at the
highest prices of the season. Receipts
continue much smaller than at cor
responding periods in recent years, and
as any material increase in the re-
ceipts in the near future seems i'm
probable, further advances in prices
are generally expected. The supply
was small today, only about $4,000 head
being received, and an active local and
shipping demand sent prices up 5@715
cents per 100 pounds.
Sheep-This has been a good week
for sellers of sheep and lambs, in spite
of large offerings. and prices averaged
10@15 cents per hundred pounds higher
if quality was choice. Todays market
was fairly active and firm.

Not Born For the Scaffold.

A curious case is told in the law rec
ords of Bristol, England. An elderly
lady being found dead in her bed, a
man named Lee was charged with the
murder There was little evidence
against the man, except that he was in
the house when the crime was COM
mitted Nevertheless Lee was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged The scat
fold was tested and found all right.
Lee was led upon the platform still
protesting his innocence. The rope was
adjusted, but when the hangman drew
the bolt the trap refused to fall. He
stamped on it with his foot. but it still
refused to move. Finally Lee was led
to one side while the trap was exam
ined Then it was found that the trap
was all right-in fact, would fall of
its own weight Again Lee was placed
upon it, and again it refused to work.
Tried again and again, it still refused
to act. Then the sheriff ordered Lee
back to his cell and telegraphed the
home secretary for instructions. The
case came up in parliament, and it was
decided that as Lee could not be
hanged he should be imprisoned for
life. A few years afterward a tramp
confessed to the murder for which the
authorities had tried to hang Lee.

From a. m. to p. m. yesterday
The Tribune office was crowded with
citizens of Salt Lake and surrounding
! towns who wished to obtain a free
sample of Munyon's Headache Cure
The throng was composed or people
from all walks of life. The banker,
minister, mechanic, miner and farmer,
one just as anxious as the other to
obtain relief from this dread disease.
During the day could be seen on the
streets, in the stores, cars and offices
men and women carefully counting out
their dose of the wonderful little pel-
lets, fearful that they should miss one
hour in the As in which time Munyon's
Remedy usually produces permanent
results.
Professor Munyon's representative
was seen last night, and in answer to
reporters inquiries, said: I'VE have
no doubt whatever as to the result of
the test, having passed through the
most searching Investigations in BOs-
ton, Washington, Pittsburg, Cleveland,
st. Louis, Rochester, Buffalo, Toledo,
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Du-
buque, Davenport, Burlington and San
Francisco, made by the leading papers
in those cities, and in no case have we
failed to cure less than 80 out of every
100 who used the remedies as directed.
''Oh, yes" he remarked, this COM
pany puts up a cure for every disease
just as efficacious as this one, and by
the time this investigation is finished,
we expect to have at lease 10000 people
in Salt Lake converted to this school
of medicine.
Munyon's remedies are radically diff
ferent from those used by the regular
school of homeopathy. There is no ex-
perimenting, no guess work, no danger,
no loss of time. You have a disease,
MunyOn has a cure.

! A STUDY N CHINESE.


Hopeless, quivering of lip and with
lack luster eye, zee Yen heard the
few words yesterday morning which
bound him to answer for his crime be-
fore the district court. Defaulter in
intent. he was still a defaulter so far
as his ability was concerned to pro-
cure bonds of $1,000 which was the
sum named to guarantee the county
against further flight
Yen's many friends of the Chinese
quarter rallied to his assistance and a
fight was made to have the bonds re-
duced to $500, but the effort was with
out JOY and a wall went up from the
house of zee. He was held on both
counts-grand larceny and embezzle-
ment AS the order of the court was
entered, zee Sing, the Chinese CONSUL
general at San Francisco, nodded APP
provingly and whispered to a Herald
man that the finding of the court was
wise and that he intended to fight the
case TO the bitter end.
The romanticism of the previous day
was departed from when the hearing
reopened in the police court yesterday
morning. All of the quaintness of
mystic climes had given place once
more to the commonplace of the hobo
surroundings, and the examinations
droned along in the plain dry-as-dust
American way. Kim Poy was recalled

SETTLED ON CHICAGO.
BLACK CLOUD BRINGS MID.
NIGHT DARKNESS.
Residents of the Windy City Fright
ened Into Doing Many Queer
Things-Probably Some of Them
Even Prayed.

Chicago, March 19.-Chicago became
almost panic-stricken about Ais this
afternoon, when a dense cloud OF
smoke and fog passed over the city
and enveloped it in almost complete
darkness.
From the upper windows in many
of the large buildings in the down
town district, pedestrians and vehicles
on the street could not be seen and
cable cars were brought to a stand
still to avoid collisions.
The entire sky was blackened in an
instant as the cloud swept over the
town.
In resident districts the sudden sem
blance of night caused much fear.
Many believed that a severe storm
was upon the city and pedestrians ran
for shelter.
Passengers on elevated trains vacat-
ed the cars and sought places of great
er safety in case of a storm.
The darkness lasted, however, only
a few minutes and the cloud passed
on over the lake.
1t is explained that the blackness re-
suited from the sudden change of the
wind.
All day the atmosphere was damp
and the smoke lowered in the sky
overhead.
The wind shifted and the smoke and
fog was forced down, forming a dense
cloud, which almost entirely shut out
the sunlight.
About 8 o'clock tonight there was a
severe hail storm, which lasted but a
few minutes. heavy rain prevailed
much OF the time since early this
morning.
