The body Of Peter Krcichbaum, the
farmer who recently disappeared from
his home near Franklin, mention Of
which has been made, was found bur-
led In the hog pen or his farm. The
discovery of the body was largely due
TO the dog that belonged to the dead
man, which several times shifted
around the spot where the body was
found. His actions aroused the curl
osity Of one OF the searchers, who In.
vestigated and revealed the body. II
was in q badly INITIATED condition,
the head being almost blown Off. The
town of Franklin Is In an excited con-
dition and Is all torn mp over the at
fair.
James Tunman and William Cole,
neighbors OF Kreichbaum, are in Jail
charged with the crime. Thoy nre
heavily guarded to prevent lynching.
The coroner's jury, after investiga-
ton, returned the following verdict:
THAT j. p. K~reichbaum came to
his death by being shot In the head
with 4 shotgun and by being struclr on
the head by q blunt instrument in the
hands Of Jessie Tunman and win Cole.
The body was shipped to Burlington,
Ia, for burial.
Peter Kreichbaum was n wcll-to-do
bachelor farmer, living alone near
Franklin. He disappeared several
days ago, following the marketing Of
some of his stock, the proceeds for
which he retained. Strangers q day
or two after appeared Oh his farm,
claiming possession and asserting that
Kreichbaum had sold out and left the
country. His friends suspected foul
play and notified his brother, NJ ex.
sherig at Burlington, Ia, who came to
Franklin and instituted q search for
tho missing man.
