A Mysterious Death.

A Mysterious Death.
The dead body OF Franz LIGHT
scheidle was brought to town Tues
day morning and was taken charge
of by Coroner Bergstrom. 1t ap-
pears that the deceased in company
with Ed. Zimprick, Fred Dritten-
boss, Frank Ressler, Frank Pfeifer
and some others, had little picnic
among themselves Sunday evening.
OF course there was some beer drank
and the deceased evidently got a
little too much. According to evil
dence produced it appears that the
deceased who is a Hungarian, said
he was better man than two of the
other fellows and Drittenboss took
it up and he and deceased engaged
in friendly wrestle Drittenboss com
ing out ahead. 1t is claimed that
Lichtscheitle said he would shoot
Drittenboss and the crowd took
gun from him on the way home.
Later developments in the evidence
brought out the fact that the de-
ceased, according to Zumprick's tes-
timony, set fire to his shanty to kill
himself and then got out through the
window and cut himself. He then
came to Zumprick's house at s
o'clock Monday morning and took a
bottle of Strychnine from a shelf and
eat it, went upstairs to bed and
died about 10 o'clock that morning.
The entire evidence of the witnesses
was along this line. One of the
party came to town Monday for a
coffin and they were going to bury
him when Coroner Bergstrom took
the matter in hand and summoned a
jury Tuesdsy afternoon when the in
quest was held, the jury consisting Of
T. ]. Cooper, F. ]. Stone and Julius
Retzlaff. After listening to the evil
dence it was decided to hold post
mortem examination, which was
done by Doctors Kerr, Brimi and
Bergstrom, and the inquest ad-
journed until 10 a. M, Wednesday
morning in order to get the stomach,
lungs and brains analysized. In
quest resumed Wednesday and Drug
gist Bateman testified to making
analysis and finding strychnine in
stomach. Doctors Kerr and Brimi
gave expert testimony as to result of
post-mortem and the balance of the
day was taken up examining wit
nesses.
The verdict of the jury in. the
above case returned as follows:
That we the jury find that deceased
Frank Lichtscheidle was badly
bruised about the head, caused by
fight as testified to by several wit.
nesses. We do not find the bruises
sufficient cause for his death Upon
analysis Strychnine was found in the
stomach and we find the cause of his
death to be from poison. From the
evidence in the case we are unable
to say from whose hand it was ad-
ministered.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston journal.


The butter market is little tirner than
last week OF the same prices Receipts have
cleaned up pretty wei and the indications
are that an the fine butter arriving this week
will be wanted at full rates. There is some
talk of slight advance, but the majority of
de alers are of the opinion that trade is not
active enough to warrant any rise. They
think that supplies will steadily increase
from this forward, and that II any advance
were forced it could not he maintained for
more than a week or two, and might tend to
check consumption.
All the fine grades of butter were in pref
ty strong position yesterday. Receivers were
selling Vermont and New Hampshire fresh
lots at q cents in tubs and PA in boxes.
Last week ii was difficult to get over p cents
for boxes, and few were left over at that.
This week the boxes are not so much in eX-
cess, but there Is plenty of them and il is not
easy TO get more than half cent difference
LOIS in assorted size tubs are in good de.
mand. From northern New York few fine
lots of new creamery have been received,
but they are mostly distributed in jobbin (
ways In large tubs the price is nominally
20lS cents.
The cheese situation is without improve
mont. There is little or no demand for large
lots, and transactions are confined to small
parcels for immediate use. Dealers are very
much disappointed at the course of the mar
ket This year, and all who had stock on hand
must be losing money. The best fail rules ut
TO 8 cents in lots as wanted, and common to
good early stock at "a to cents. A few fan
cy brands take higher range, but these are
not considered in the general quotations!
Prices are running on an average about one
| third lower than last year at this time.
| There was good egg trade most of the
week, and sales of Western run along at l05S
to ia cents, outside for special marks until
yesterday, when II cents was the extreme
price, with some sales at l01s to l0}i cents.
The bulk of the business for the week has
been at IL TO TX cents, but in n regular way
| II is hard to get more for Eastern than for
| Western.
The bean market has been slow and mar
row pea cannot be placed in large lots at ov-
en- 81 10 per bushel. Choice medium are in
| light supply and not offered under SI.l5.
Other kinds quiet and steady.
In the potato market the only new feature
TO note is the scarcity of early rose for seed.
These command Sl.l0 to 81 - per bushel.
Eastern hebrons are selling nj - 10 Is cents,
and Western Green Mountains at so to IS
cents.
New maple sugar is arriving more freely,
and it is hard to sell in wholesale way at
over II cents pound New syrup is in fair
demand at 60 to 70 cents per gallon cd
sugar and syrup not wanted.
The grass seed trade Is fairly active on bas-
is of following prices: Red clover, to s
cents per pound; white clover, 10 to Is cents I;

Considerable gossip was excited by
the fact that Senior Quesada, the secre-
tary of the Cuban junta, was one of the
guests at the reception of the Vice Pres
ident to Prince Albert. Senior Quesada
has been the recipient of much social
attention in Washington, but the al
most official character of this reception
by the Vice President to the heir pre-
sumptiye to the throne of Belgium rem
ders his invitation in the opinion of the
gossips, rather a broad recognition. In
any other country than this it would be
regarded, it is said, as equivalent to a
semi-official recognition of his status
as foreign representative.
