the MYSTERY DEEPENS
Bralnard Had 5000 In Cash On
His Person the Night he
Left Home
EVERYTHING Points Is Foul Murder
But COrOnOr'S Verdict Will
Not be Rendered Today

Despite the efforts of scores of offic-
ers and others who are at work on the
case, time serves but to farther ell
|tangle the web of mystery that sur
rounds the death Of E Brainsrd,
the Moorehead farmer whose lifeless
remains were found on the Chicago &
Northwestern right of way about q
mile east of this city Saturday morn
ing about 8 o'clock by a Northwestern
trackwalker who was covering his
district.
Mrs. Brsina,d, wifeof the dead man,
is now in Logan, to which place she
went Immediately upon the receipt of
the news of her husbands death. Ac-
cording to her statement Mr.. Brainard
left his farm home near Moorehead
Friday afternoon, his destination be.
| ing WOodbine, where he was to clt SO
up real estate deal Saturday, the deal
calling for the payment of about $4,000
by Mr.. Brajnard. Upon taking his de-
parture the deceased informed his wife
that he had 5000 in cash in an inside
coat pocket.
He left Moorhead Friday afternoon
and arrived in Mondamin Friday
evening and subsequently appeared
here late the same night. The very
small thread that furnishes traceable
clue to the mans actions aud move
ments end here.
Deputy Coroner Hyde and different
members of the coronor's jury arrived
in the city yesterday and spent several
hours in questioning the section men
who first visited the place where
Brainard's remains were found.
A broad difference of opinion exists
as to the manner in which the remains
came upon the railroad track, although
public opinion is almost unanimous
that the man was murdered. AT a
point about thirty feet east of where
the body was found one rail and near
by ties are despatched with blood and
the thin trail of blood extends from
the place where the body first struck
the rail to the point where it was
found. Owing to the popularity of
the principal wound, q small round
hole in the base of the skull, doctors
are agreed i'm the theory the wound
was not inflicted by an engine or car.
Mr.. Brainard was quite prominent
in lodge circles. He was member in
good standing of the order of the /. U.
o. F. and was Venerable Consul of
the Modern Woodmen of America.
He carried an insurance policy of
$4,000 in the Woodmen order and q
$1,000 policy in the Bankers Insurance
Company. He is survived by wife
and three children.

a plumber of candidates who had been

were served and enjoyed by all, after
which some retired to the banquet
hall and enjoyed social hop for q
season. while others engaged in games
and conversation until about 1870,
when all retired, feeling that they had
enjoyed very pleasant evening. But

None who have not engaged in the
work have conception of the elevat-

full, the impression given is grand and
worthy the attention of all who desire
the elevation and we'll being of society.
