Accident or Murderc

The body of William ID. HOLSTER,
the American express agent at oxford.
was found on the Michigan Central
railroad tracks at II o'clock Wedncs-
day night. The body had been cut in
two by passing train. There was n
huge cash in one side of the unfortu-
nate mans head, and this had led to
talk of foul play.
HolliSter was last seen alive about
$50 o clock. He had been very Ill all
day, and the symptoms became aggra-
waited in the evening. He had n money

senger on the $50 train for Detroit
Although he was suffering greatly
he made the trip to the station and
delivered the package, which contain
cd $3.50. Whether he received any
money or valuable packages from the
messenger is not known. None were
found on his person or near where he
was found. Neither was his receipt

One physician, who asked that his

far as the treatment of the case was
concerned, both from a surgical and
medical standpoint, it was successful.
The abdominal wound was fatal from
The start. The physicians should feel
relieved over the result of the autop-
sy, because it revealed the fact that
he abdominal wound was necessarily
fatal and that nothing that was done
Or could be done would more than de-
lay the inevitable result. The govern

he kept his face away from the coffin.
The infantryman guarding the dead
stood before him, rigid as statue. AL
though the commander-in-chief ap-
preached until he could have touched
him, the soldier did not salute. The
President spoke TO Secretary Root
or, perhaps, it would be more precise
to say that the latter spoke to him.
The President appeared to be steeling
himself for a look into the face of him
whose death had made him the first
ruler of the world. The tension in the
room was great. Every one seemed to
be waiting. The minister of the COS
pei stood with the holy book in his
hand ready to begin. Perhaps it might
have been sixty seconds. 1t seemed
longer. Then the President turned,
and at the same time advanced one
step. He bowed his head and looked
uown upon the man whose burden and
responsibility he had taken up. Long
he gazed, standing immovable save for
twitching of the muscles of the chin
as he labored, with heavy breath, to
repress his emotion. At last he
stepped back Colonel Bingham, the
aid to the President, standing ten feet
below the foot of the coffin, at the side
of the loyal Cortelyou, glanced in the
direction of the Rev. Charles Edward
Locke, of the Delaware Avenue Meth

conduct the service.
Lead, Kindly Light Sung
The pastor was at the door leading
J into the hall, a station whence his
words could be heard at the head of
the stairs. The signal was given, and
there welled out from the hall the
beautiful words Of Lead, Kindly
Light" sung by a quartet. 1t was
! President McKinley's favorite hymn.
Every one within sound of the music
knew it and half of those in the room
put their faces in their hands to hide
their tears. Comptroller Dawes leaned
against a bookcase and wept. Pres
ident Roosevelt seemed to be sway
ing to and fro as if his footing were
! insecure
When the singing ended, the clergy
man read from the words of the fif-
teenth chapter of the First Corin-
thians. All had risen as he began,
and remained stan6,og throughout the
remainder of the services. Again the
voices rose with the words of Nearer,
My God, to Thee" the very words
President Mckinley had repeated at
intervals of consciousness during the
day of agony before he died. As the
music died away the pastor spoke
again.
LET us pray" he said, and every
head fell upon it's breast.
