Cedar Rapids dispatch: Edward
Moore. a farm hand, a years OF age,
was found lying dead beside the
burlington. Cedar Rapids & Northern
railway tracks. mile north OF Ely.
Two bullet holes, one through the
heart and another about four inches
below, explain the cause of death.
while a 3:.caliber revolver lying near
contained two empty shells. The
clothing about the wound over the
heart was burned and powder marked,
but there was no evidence OF powder
about the second one. From neither
wound had he bled any, and yet his
left hand and arm were covered with
blood. His overcoat was found near
him, torn into shreds, will, numerous
holes in the remaining pieces. His
watch was gone, and he had but one
penny in his pocket. although he was
known to always have money with
him. From this it is believed lie was
murdered and had 4 desperate strug-
gle with his assailant. Some things
also point to suicide.
At Cedar Rapids recently the body of
Charles Norman was discovered at the
Milwaukee railway bridge by people
who were going to their work at 6 a.
III. Death had evidently ensued only
Il short time previous to the discovery
of the body. which was found ON the
extreme south edge of the bridge, the
head and shoulders hanging over the
end OF the ties AMI downward toward
the water. There was not a spot or
discoloration of any kind on the body
to indicate that death had been caused
either by accident or foul play. The
blood had escaped from the nose. ears
and mouth, and had run toward the
top Of the head, as the body had laid
over the edge of the bridge. The fact
that he had been drinking heavily the
night before leads the authorities to
believe that he tried to cross the
bridge and fell in the position in
which the body was found
