Gilmore, also of this city, whose dead
body was found along the tracks of the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern rail
road tracks, in Jeffersonville, Ind. last
Saturday. Edward Gilmore, the broth
er of the murdered man, went to JEFF
fersonville as soon as the news of his
death was received here, but there
has not been anything learned here of
the facts in the case.
1t is known that Gilmore and Mon

and were probably beating their way
over the country when the murder &C.

the main witnesses, and in fact helped
clear Montague of the charge Of muir
der that was filed against him in Oma-
ha, October IA, 1899, when Montague
threw butcher knife at Thomas
Glenn, another Ottumwa boy who was
working with him in the packing
house of the Hammond company. Mon
tague and Glenn became involved in
a quarrel on the morning of October
Is, and without moments warning
Montague threw his butcher knife at
Glenn, the blade passing thru Glenn's
heart, killing him instantly.

Montague was discharged by the
coroner's jury which investigated the
matter, largely it is said, thru the tes-
timony of Gilmore, who was also work

After Montague had been released
from custody, he stayed in Omaha for

when he landed in Ottumwa. He only
remained here day or SO, however,

three negroes did the deed, but that
