Identity Of His MUIR
dereR,

MUSCATINE, Ia, Aug. ls.-(special Tele.
gram.)-Jesse Tuman, the man found
nearly dead Saturday night In the woods
north Of Muscatine, his wife being found
murdered nearby, died tonight at 6:45. He
never recovered consciousness nor revealed
anything concerning the identity of the MUIR
derer. 1t is thought perhaps more parties
are implicated. ofncers are at sea and clues
are din1cult to ind. Excitement here IL In
tense.
A stranger met two boys on a road and
told them that q man lay In a hut in the
midst OF the woods, bruised and bleeding.
They boys knew the injured mans hut and
went to the place, finding Tuman nearly
dead. The nude body Of the woman was
found about $50 yards up the hill from
the house. A bloody Ak was discovered 100
yards beyond the woman's body.
A mysterious telephone message came to
the coroner here Friday morning, saying
someone was killed, but did not tell who,
where or when. The message cannot be
traced, but Is thought to have connection
with the murder. The only clue is that
Williams telegraphed for money from Texas
a week ago. The injured man is at a hos
pital In this city. The doctors performed
an operation and the victim may recover
suficiently to tell of the fight, but is SO
TAR unconscious. A coroner's inquest will
be held To-Day.
Both Tuman and his wife carried life in
surance policies. The hut Is In a lonely
woods, half a mile from any other house
or public road. Tuman was a woodchopper
In winter and gathered pearls in the sum
mer. He never banked any money and may
have had a large sum secreted.

by his contract he was to pay 81 for every
keg OF beer he sold and that he sold twelve
Kegs and consequently is Indebted in the
sum OF ;24. Against this, however, he
claims as onset $23 10 which he alleges he
paid out at the instance OF Burke to get

these payments on the ground that Achatz
was not authorized to make any payments
except at the request Of the committee in
charge. A jury will be called upon to ar
