Mnnnda nn Hla RndE-

NEW HARTFORD, la, June 2S.-(Spe-
cial From further particulars Just learnei
OF the death OF John Marks near here there
seems to be no doubt that IL was case Of
murder
The ground in the vicinity OF the place
where the body was found was all torn ur
and there we're other indications that a
severe struggle had taken place About
twenty rods from the body was found a
pitchfork, which was covered with blood
The mans neck bore an ugly wound, ex-
tending about one inch across the right eide
In the vicinity OF the jugular vein
The body was found by man named
North, who Is a milk hauler for the Benson
creamery. He delivered Marks cans Sun.
day morning on his return from the cream
cry and Monday morning, when he called
for the milk, the cans were still on the
platform where they had been left Sunday
morning. North began an investigation OF
the premises and after an hours search the
body was found as noted above.
There Is no motive known for the crime.
Marks was a quiet, inoffensive man and had
no property that amounted to much. His
watch and a small amount OF money was
found in the house. so that robbery could
not have been the motive. The general
opinion here is that the man was murdered.
He lived alone on his place and was about
81 years old

TWO MEMS NARROW ESCAPE.
Wall at the .Kimbal1 Building Falls and
Two Workmen Have Narrow Escape.

Two Workmen Have Narrow Escape.
What might have been very serious
accident occurred this morning at the
new Kimba11 building on Wisconsin
street. Shortly after eight O'Clock this
morning two workrnen named Larsen
and Johnson, were putting the finish
ing touches on a wall at the rear of the
building, when without any warning
whatever the entire wall caved in.
For time it was thought that two of
the men had been buried under the
debris, but later it was discovered that
the men had escaped almost miracu-
lousy. The wall was fifteen feet long
and ten feet in height and was being
constructed at the rear of the building
proper. It seems that in some manner
the water had found its way to the
foundations of the wall during the
night, and when the men went to work
this morning a small stream of water
was flowing under the foundation. They
went to work to finish up the masonry
and were all but finished when the
wall was seen to sway. AS soon as
possible the men dropped their tools
and ran into a door leading into the
basement The wall fell a second
later and the tools which they had
been using were buried under a mass of
masonry. The cause of the accident is
not known, but it is supposed that 1t
resulted from the sand behind the wall
giving way and allowing the water to
undermine the foundation of the wall.
The damage done to the building by
the accident will be considerable.
