Murdered by Robbers.

CHICAGO, June T.-Martin Meir, a
wealthy and eccentric Swiss, was found
dead to-day in a house at 1850 West
F'ifty-seventh street, which for years
he had occupied alone. The conditions
point to murder, with robbery as a mo-
tive. His hands were tied behind him
with rope, his feet were tightly
bound with a leather strap, and around
his neck was twisted a towel. Nearly
every article in the house had been
overturned. Meir was a marble pol
Usher and reputed to have accumulated
nearly 100000 The condition of the
body indicated that he had been dead
for some time. There is no clew to the
murderers.

WILD HORSES IN UTAH.
So Numerous That Means Are to He
Taken to Destroy Them.
From the Denver News.

From the Denver News.
On the undulating sandy desert south of
Milford. Beaver county, are situated the
warm springs of the old wagon road which
freighters used for reaching Phoebe in her
palmiest mining days; and south of these
warm springs could be seen by these
freighters twenty-five years ago bands Of
wild horses scurrying away al the approach
of man and raising a cloud of dust as they
rushed over the sand dunes and rabbit
brush hollows.
At that time the freighters were COM
PEELED to pay toll for water at these warm
springs-and perhaps they do stiii-because
the precious fluid was run into large shall
low wooden tanks buried in the ground and
allowed to cool. For the privilege Of serv
ing their horses and themselves with the
brackish water, and filling the regulation
barrel strapped to the side of the wagon,
the teamsters paid the man in charge the
water that ran away from these springs in
springs proper, and here was one of the
watering places of the bands of wild horses
that We're even then plentiful upon the des-
ert.
The western edge Of the desert was
fringed by very precipitous mountains,
which were here and there deeply scanned
with canyons which Were simply a mighty
cleft in the black, rugged volcanic rock.
Uusually these canyons ended very alb
ruptly after their course had been followed
for distance-anywhere from one to three
miles.
Ingenious man at once saw . use for
