HUMAN FOOT ON THE TRUCKS OF A
PULLMAN SLEEPER.
STRONG EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
CRIME OCCURRED ON THE ALTON,
WEST OF CHICAGO.
Police Believe the Victim Had Deen
Spiked to the Railroad Track
A find ut Mexico. Mo-, That
May Solve the Mys-
terry.

Chicago, Ill.,. Dec. 9-Evidence of a start
ling nature which indicates that Il murder
has been committed somewhere between
Chicago and Denver. on the Chicago &
Alton railroad. was found to-day on top of
the front trucks of the Pullman sleeping
car Miltiades, shortly after its arrival in
Chicago. 1t was Il human foot. apparently
that of a man, and a long slender spike
penetrated the large toe. The foot. which
had been torn off above the ankle. was
bare and mutilated. Ligaments, which had
been torn from the upper portion of the
limb and remained attached to the foot in
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, were twisted around the
blood-stained trucks of the sleeper. The
police believe thai a man has been tied to
the railroad track. his feet spiked to the
ties, and that he had then been left to meet
certain death under the train.
On this theory inquiries are now being
made at every point on the road between
Chicago and Denver. The spike which ives
in the center of the toe was about five inch
es long. and of the kind used in certain
parts of railroad construction. where a del
icate yet strong piece of metal is used to
hold wood together.
There was no blood on the engine, which.
the railroad men say. proves that the acci-
dent or murder, as the case may be, oc-
CURED west of Bloomington, as a change
of engines is made at that point.

MRS. LuETGERT STILL ALIVE.
Louis Newspaper Man in
Boston.
Roston. Dec. 9-The Globe saws:

Boston. Dec. 9.-The Globe says:
Mrs. Luetgert, the supposed victim of
the sausage manufacturer murderer so
called. in Chicago, is alive and we'll. Mrs.
Luetgert was seen in this city during the
month of July and acknowledged her iden-
tity. besides giving more or less explana-
ton relative to the reasons which caused
her to leave her husband, who is again
to be tried for his life"
Such was the startling declaration made
by Editor John H. Schofield. Of St. Louis,
to u Globe man.
Mr.. Schofield s%upplanted this statement
further with the positive assurance that
Mrs: Luetgert was at the house, No. Z
Bullfinch place. for a period of three or
four days during the middle of July last.
He said he based this assurance upon the
fact that Mrs. Luetgert, while in Boston,
acknowledged her full identity, with the
assertion that she left her husband, the
Chicago sausagemaker, because of his ac-
lions with other women, as well as for
reasons which she thought would help him
in his financial embarrassments in bust
ness.
He further asserted that he believed that
Mrs. Luetgert was still in Boston. and
that she would yet be found.
The Globe has interviewed the Mrs. Moss,
OF No. Z Bullfinch place. who says that the
woman supposed to be Mrs. Luetgert went
by the name of Millie Barker.
Ont day the woman seemed distressed
after reading, an account of the trial of
Mess. said: You woulS be surprised if

Topeka, kas., Dec. ~9.-(Special) Prepar-
atory to the commencement of proceedings
by the state school fund commissioners
against various counties, townships and
school districts to collect on defaulted
bonds held In the permanent school fund,
Superintendent Stryker to-day sent the fol-
lowing letter to each county clerk in the
state:
"A statement has recently been sent to
your county treasurer by the state treas
urer showing the amount of Indebtedness
in your county by districts. We are max
ing an effort to collect this delinquent in
terest and principal, as far as possible. An
answer to the following inquiries will as
sist US materially. We do not wish to or
der suit brought when it will do no good.
no: when it will work injustice.
"Ffrst-Have the county commissioners
failed in the case of any district de-
linquent to make the proper levy.
"~Second-If the delinquency is due en-
tirely to failure to pay taxes properly
levied. what. in your Judgment, is the
probability of future payment?
"Third-1n many districts the amount de-
%linquent is only small. Please call atten-
ton to this and see that proper provision
Is made for the payment of the same when
the county commissioners meet for that
purpose.
The above does not apply to amounts
due January l. 1885,"
AS soon as this information is received
the commissioners intend to begin 4 sen-
eral campaign against all delinquents.

days ago. the border guards learned of a
raid that vas designed by Black Jack to
loot a town across the river. A start was
made from Leander Springs, and the guards
had no difficulty in finding them. The two
forces met face to face at Il turn in the
railroad. There were three outlaws against
three officers. but the latter opened the
attack with orders for Hands up"
Two of the outlaws turned their horses
for the hills. but Phallard dismOunted and.
drawing his Winchester, opened fire and
killed the three officers before he fell with
a wound in his side, which proved fatal.

PAUPER INSANE CLAIMS.
Some Having Trouble in
Getting Their Money From
the State,

Topeka, kas., Dec. 9.-tSpecial.) On ac-
count of a provision of the law appropriate
ing money to reimburse the various coun-
ties for caring for the pauper insane. some
of the counties are having considerable
trouble in getting their money. The law
makes an appropriation for a specific
amount for each county, and provides that
if it accepts the money it must give a
receipt in full to the state auditor. In
nearly every instance the appropriation is
smaller than the amount the county claims
is due 1t from the state for that purpose.
An effort has been made to have some
construction placed on the law which will
enable the counties to get their money
without giving a receipt in FULL. Attorney
General Boyle, however. says his Is i'm
possible; that the counties must receipt in
full before they get a cent. However. he
lays. they could come on to the Legislature
at the next session for the deficiency.

MONETARY COMMISSION SENDS
CIRCULAR TO BANKERS.
ASKS ENDORSEMENT OF PLAN.
URGES SUPPRESSION OF INDIVIDUAL
PREFERENCES.
In No Other Way, 1t In Declared, Can
Desirable LcEislation BE Made
POssible-Bankers Urged to
Write to Their Com
Rressmen.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 9.-Chairman II.
H. Hanna, of the monetary commission.
has sent to bankers of the country lO,WU
circular letters. as follows:
Dear Sir:-The monetary commission
chosen by the executive committee of the
Indianapolis monetary convention will very
soon conclude its labors and offer a plan
for financial organization in accordance
with the expressed will of the convention.
The member of the committee have. at a
great expense to themselves. and without
compensation other than their travelling
and living expenses while engaged in the
work, given a great deal of time and dill
igent. conscientious effort for the accom-
plishment of the great task imposed upon
them.
ut is generally believed that the sug-
gestion for legislation that the commission
will offer will prove 10 be broad, COM
prehensive and rational. The difficulty OF
dealing with existing conditions and the
needs of widely separated geographical d.
visions presented many complex phases Oh
the subject. After long suffering and I'M
measurably expensive delay. the opportu-
nifty seems to be at hand for financial re-
organization. However. only patient. pa
triotic sacrifice of individual opinions as 10
methods will make desirable legislation
possible.
1T is not difficult for conservative. thlnK-
ing men to agree as to the great principles
involved. but there is a wide difference OF
opinion as to the detail of methods. The
suggestions sent to the commission are so
varied that all of them cannot be used;
therefore,. suppression OF individual pref
erence calls for patriotic patience.
'.In anticipation of the publication Of the
plan of the commission. this letter is ad-
dressed to you to remind you of the seri-
Gus Importance of harmony among those
who recognize the necessity of eliminat-
ing the money question from politics and
establishing stable things in finance.
..If, after careful consideration. you be-
lieve the main features of the plan of the
commissioners to be sound, you are urged to
waive your preference for detail, and unite
in the great effort to at once wisely dis
pose of the subject and release the COM
merce of the country from the awful de.
struction incident to periodical financial
agitation.
your senators and representatives in
congress will desire to hear from you on
this subject. II you can, consistently. don't
fail to write plainly to them your approval
of the plan recommended by the commits
sioners."
The circular sent to insurance men and
money brokers bears date of December 10.
while the one directed to bankers bears
date of December 4. The last circulars to
be sent out embody all the injunctions of
the letters to bankers, with the following
additional matter:
Like every one else. insurance men and
