FOUND BLOOD ON BARN DOOR
PROSECUTOR AND DETECTIVES BELIEVE
APPLICABLE WAS MURDERED.

Trenton y. J.. March IL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Crossley and the county detectives are convinced
that Thomas Z. Apologize. who was found dead
in his stable Extonville yesterday morning,
murdered. That he the victim of alleged
white caps, who have several times attempted his
! life during the last few months. seems almost
equally certain. The little village has been stirred
as never before by the discovery Of evidence in
dicating that Applegate had been dragged into his
barn either before or after he had been beaten or
choked death
AS already told in The Tribune. Appegate
found dying almost under his horses hoofs. with
his skull crushed, the first belief being that he had
been kicked to death by the animal. But to-day's
search clearly disproyed this theory. The detec-
tives discovered the imprint Of bloody fingers on
the barn door, some distance from where the dead
man was found. Besides this, his hands and arms
We're skinned in such a manner as to indicate that
he had been dragged the ground. 1t also was
found that the dirt with which his trousers were
smeared different in color from that IN the
barn.
The body of Applegate had been removed from the
stable ard partially prepared burial before the
authorities reached the scene Of the tragedy anu
this fact has handicapped them in formulating any
theory as TO just how the murder was committed.
Examination OF the body disclosed black rim
around the neck which it thought might have
been caused by The mans collar when he was
dragged into the barn. Mrs. Applegate was asked
what kind of a collar her husband wore, ana she
told the detectives that il a stiff one Later
The clothes were piopuce4r anu IL was AS"'-H 'NN
he wore soft shirt With rundown collar This
the detectives declare could have produced the
mark the neck one theory IS that rope was
fastened around Appegate's neck, and that ne was
either dragged into the barn in this manner or
previously strangled death. 1t is considered pos
sible that he may have been hanged and then
dragged into the stable. -,
That the placing of the body directly benlnd tne
horse was done for n purpose is believed TO be
clearly proceed. Investigation also shows that the
horse stepped on Applegate's head, which explains
the blood on the animals hoffs. There were other
marks on the skull believed to have been Inade pS
weapon So VII
The Coroner's Jury viewed the body TO-DAY: Inc
inquest will be held later. Samuel b. ohlnn son
of the farmer who worked Applegate's farm on
shares has declined 10 make any sta tement 70 the
authorities. AppeEate told some OF the neiEnoors
that Young Shnn of the whitecapps VINO
heing too intimate with his wife. and this led TO
several quarrels between the two men and in one
instance an assault by Shinn No arrests nave
been made although the police have two or three
persons under suspicion.

BURLINGTON PASSES ST. PAUL.

James J. Hill. president OF the Great Northern
Railway Company, arrived in town late last week
and was busily engaged yesterday in conferences
with Colonel Daniel S. Lamont vice-presidcnt OF
the Northern Pacific, and with other interests
taken as confirmatory of the information that
gotiations were in progress for transferring
troll of the Burlington to the Great Northern, and
the Northern Pacific, and perhaps with them the
Union Pacific also.
One of the reported reasons for Mr. Hills visit
TO the city at this time is the settlement OF the
question of a proposed increase of his company's
stock and 1t is said that the most valuable rights
ever given by the company viii be offered 10 the
stockholders in a few days. Great Northern pre-
