SHOT AND THEN SET ON FIRE.
Brutal Murder of jerome Curran Near
Cedar Falls, Ia.

Seuaf Iaiis, Ia.
Cedar Falls, Ia, Aug. 27.-One Of the
most brutal murders in the history Of
the state was committed just across
the line In Bremen county, a few miles
north Of this city. The victim, Jerome
Curran, was widely known and respect
ed in this vicinity. 1t is feared that an
indignant public will visit vengeance on
the perpetrGtor of the crime. The mutt
lated body was found lying in timber
eight miles north of the city by two
members of a searching party, William
Bingham and John Fails. The head was
nearly severed from the body and then
fire had been set to the lifeless trunk.
The clothing and portions of the flesh
were burned away. An ugly bullet
hole in the back showed how the victim
had met death. The corpse was lying
face downward, with the throat cut
from ear to ear.
An alarm was given and the coroner
of Bremen county, Dr. Barber, was inn
mediately called. The evidence re-
vealed the fact that the throat had
been cut. but before life was extinct
the body had been placed on a pile Of
brush, kerosene poured on and fire set
to the pile. That the victim was alive
when the pile was fired was revealed
by the fact of blisters on the - >1y. the
physician stating that such S,uld not
arise If death had ensued. Curran left
home early Monday morning in pur-
suit of swarming bees. He was shot
within 200 rods of his home. Curran
was so years of age. While he was
generally held in high esteem. he had
some bitter enemies. and threats against
his life had been frequently made by

Plttsburg. Aug. 27.-There was no food
In Camp Isolation at Plum Creek for
the strikers breakfast, and for the first
time since the camp was inaugurated
the miners experienced the hardship of
going without anything to eat. The alb
sence Of provisions, however, will not
continue. 1t was due to a break in the
arrangements rather than any help
lessness on the part of the commissary
department. Captain Bellingham of the
Plum Creek camp sent two men into
Williamsburg Wednesday forenoon to
purchase supplies. They were expected
to arrive during the night, but failed to
show up until late in the forenoon. Din
ner was served in the camp as usual.
There was no marching INDUCED in by
the men in Camp Isolation. That vicin-
ity is in a very quiet state.
Both sides are confident Of victory ard
are resting and awaiting developments.
The miners are satisfied with the work
which is being done by the men who go
over to Center every night, and have
not marched since last Monday. The
men at Center were out at an early hour
doing active missionary work. The
deputies were not taken out to the cross
road at a. m. as usual. and the road
was left completely unguarded. They
were satisfied with concentrating about
