THE STRANGER DEAD
Body Of the Man Murdered at Pros.
poet Park Is Not Yet I
Identified. /
The Police and Coroner Are Work
ing Hard to Clear Up the
Mystery.

Who was the man found dead in Pros
pect Park yesterday morning? .
> That is the question that is engrossing
the attention of Coroner Williams and
the Minneapolis police department. That
the man was killed, there is no doubt, and
that this was done FOR thespurpose of rob-
berry seems highly probable. ass
An autopsy yesterday afternoon clearly
indicated that the man met his death
from the effects Of blow. Except the
bruises on the head, there are no other
marks Of violence upon any part Of the
body and the examination revealed the
fact that the man had not been drinking
prior to his death. The brain was covered
blow was severe. -. .-.
Detective Nick Smith, who has charge
Of the case, is making a thorough investi-
cation, but so far has been unable to find
anything upon which to base his opera
tions., How the man happened to be in
such an out of-the-way place is something
that is hard to explain. At first it was
suggested that he had been killed at some
other place and that the body had been
taken there. This seems rather doubtful
as the body was lying in a natural posi-
ton when found and there were no marks
on the grounds around which would indi-
cate that it had been carried there.
Many people have already visited the
undertaking rooms and have viewed the
remains, but no one has yet been able te
identify them. Several people claim to
have seen the man but do not know him
His hat was purchased at local clothing
store and Is at least two months old. This
would indicate that the man had been In
the city that long. Coroner Williams be-
lieves that the body will be identified soon

DEMURRERS FOR COHEN
He Alleges Serious Defects in the
Last Three Indictments Re-
q. turned Against Him.

@Demurrers have been interposed to the
last threa' indictments returned by the
grand jury against Joseph Cohen and will
be argued just as soon as Judge Brooks
can find time for the hearing. Meanwhile
the Cohen cases stand for trial and wit
nesses for the state are under subpoena
to appear in court tomorrow morning.
The three indictments to which the de-
tense has demurred accuse Cohen of COM
pounding a crime and charge, more spe-
officially, that he accepted money from
women Of the red light district with the
understanding that he would not modest
them if the money was paid
" The demurrers: contend that the indict-
ments do not conform to the statutes; dc
not state facts sufficient to constitute q
public offense, or, if they do, charge two
separate offenses; and that they contain
matter which, IL true, constitutes a legal
justification of Cohen's acts. a ~

MR.. JOHNSON COULDN'T
Proceedings Against Secretary Of
Board Of G. and G. for Contempt:
Therefore Fell Through. 49,

w. II. Johnson, the active and positive
secretary of the board Of charities and
corrections, was called before Judge
Brooks last week to answer to a. charge
OF contempt of court. 1t was found that
Mr.. johnson had all due and proper re-
spect for the court and it's mandates, and
the case was dismissed.
About the middle of last week "John
Doe" secretary of the board of charities
ana corrections" was summoned to ap-
pear before the grand jury with certain
records relating to the patients at the
city hospital: Mr.. Johnson, who received
the summons, could not get what the
grand Jurors wanted. When he appeared
before the jury there was trouble. and he
was directed to produce the informat ton
wanted, at once. crt: r.;.l.> ~.T' =
+: Must Is "a pretty strong word, ~ re-
Piled Mr.. johnson, in his ofr-hand style.
What is the penalty if I don't?''
You will be found guilty Of contempt
of court and punished accordingly was
the stern reply.
'FWhew!' said Johnson. ''well, I'll do
the best + cam ~,st :. r.e>~
Mr.. Johnson's breezy ways appeared to
some as being disrespectful, and they also
thought that they detected a tone Of lev
ity, which a proper regard for the dig
nifty OF the court demanded should be re-
buked. =,
So Mr.. johnson was called to the bar OF
JUSTICE He explained that he did not
keep the books. and that any grand juror
who would come to his office could have
any or all books he wanted. Two of them
visited the office Friday and carried away
SO much that the regular reports could
not be prepared for the meeting last, eve
ming, which was accordingly abandoned.

interest in the great Bitter Root copper
mining deal which number Of Southern
Minnesota bankers and business men. The
Helena Herald gives the details of, sale
of 100000 shares Of this stock as the re-
suit Of expert reports which have been
made to the people with money to invest.
This property, although owned and con-
trolled by Minnesota parties. is, in fact,
much better known in Montana and the
Rocky Mountain country than here. The
reason for that no doubt is to be found
IN the fact that the Western people know
more about a good mine when they see
one than is known in Minnesota,
The announcement is made that the
stock reserved for sale at rs cents will
soon be all sold. When 1t goes in blocks
: of 100000 shares, it would not be ex-
pected to last long.

no attention to the previous announce
ments made, it will be stated that the
Bitter Root mine Is a copper property IN
!. which the copper mined to date and
I shipped to the smelters has run about as
per oent copper. It is estimated that it
will run easily 20 per cent copper, and
from the showing already made there Ia
y ore enough in sight to pay big dividends.
One report says there is at least $25,
4 O00, 900 in copper in the property that any
competent mining man can locate.

dend within six months of the time the

pleted. The stock is now selling at 81

Merger Roads Giving Great Bulk of
Chicago Business to the
Burlington.
Milwaukee and North Western Of
ficials Will Hold Meeting to
Discuss the Matter.

In all probability the officials Of the Mil
waukee and the North Western lines, with
perhaps those of one or two other roads,
will meet within the next week: to con-
slider the conditions brought about by the
Northern Securities merger. 80 Il T.
The lines in competition with the Bur-
lingtons are commencing to feel the effects
Of the merger, which is active against the
other lines In all departments. The cat
tie rates. however, are just now giving
the traffic officials of the Milwaukee and
the North Western roads cause for wrath.
The extent to which the merger lines are
throwing business to the Burlington to the
exclusion of the other lines, can be I'M
derstood by statement made to-day by
a traffic official Of one of the dissatis-
fled lines. He said:
within the last ten months there has
peen decrease of SO per cent in the num-
per or cars of cattle turned over to us
by the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cine roads for transportation to Chicago.
The decrease to the. two roads suffering
the most aggregates at least IS per cent.
Ihese are actual figures and when they
were reported to, the presidents, we un-
derstand. there was some stout talking.
Inc Burlington has received the benefit
or this Do per cent. We do not blame the
Burlington. We blame the merger lines.
This sort Of thing cannot go on indefln-
ltely. 1t has gone so far now that steps
Wal be taken to bring about different
situation"
The same. official said that it was not
only In the cattle traffic that the discrim-
NATION was felt. It was in a dozen other
commodities. 1t was felt both in north
and south bound traffic. Il
All the supplies, new equipment, loco
motives steel rails and other company
1relght purchased by the two transconti-
mental lines In the east were formerly
divided at Chicago among the lines reach
ing st. Paul: Now all or very nearly all,
are sent to ST. Paul over the Burlington.
me total OF this traffic in company prop
erty amounts to millions Of pounds.

who desired to secure some Of the coal
decided to call at the office Of the North
western Fuel company; S11 Nicollet ave-
nue., early this morning. At a few min
utes past o'clock the first man hurried
down Nicollet avenue and took his posi-
ton before the entrance of the fuel office
to await the unlocking of the door.
Within half an hour there were twen-
ty-dve men patiently: waiting at the
closed door, and by o'clock the sidewalk
was nearly blockaded.a Women began to
join the crowd that stood patiently In line,
each one fondly hoping that some Of the
valuedaf fuel might be secured. II
It was seen that as%1arge crowd would
gather there before the opening Of the
office and policemen were dispatched to
the. place. For, an hour and a half three
burly officers 2struggled with the: crowd
that clamored for entrance The throng
surgeda back and forth and several times
it seemed as though the plate glass front
would be broken by the weight pressing
against lit. Hats were: knocked Off and
trampled. y Women were compelled to
work their way &outiz of the crush and
abandon the hope Of buying fuel, and
strong men were even seen to give up the
struggle to hold their places. -
At $3.50 o'clock the door Of the office was
opened and the crowd surged forward ex-
pectantly. Sergeant. Thomas Russell and
Patrolman Chris Flemming stood in the
doorway and it took all the strength OF
the two men to keep the crowd moving

Consideration.
The matter Of submitting to the vote of
the people the question Of issuing a total
Of 100000 municipal bonds was further
considered by the Commercial Club public
affairs committee this afternoon. or the
amount named, $4,000 is to create a re-

the waterworks system, and $4,000 for
the needs of the board of education.
Director NJ F. Hawley explained in de-
tail the situation which confronts the
board Of education and dwelt at length
upon the need Of issuing bonds in the
amount specified in order to meet needs
which will not admit of indefinite post
ponement.
The committee is aiming to sound pub
lie sentiment as to the issue of the bonds.
1t is probable that before election a con-
else statement covering the entire subject
will be issued to the public. .
