AN OTTAWA MURDER.
Body of Colored Man Found Strewn
Along the Track.

Ottawa, Kan, Oct. 2o-Mathew Wright.
a young colored man, was killed some
time last night. The body was found Sun
day morning strewn along the Santa Zee
tracks, at Eighth and Walnut streets. 1t
had been run over by passing train.
The head and trunk lay outside the rails,
while the feet and legs lay between the
rails. An open bowie knife and a necktie
were found near the body Coroner Hog
sort made an examination of the body
and found two ugly knife wounds on the
scalp The left arm was broken. The
body was cut in such a manner that it
seems to have been laid across the rail.
Wright called on his sweetheart in the
vicinity last night, and, according to the
girls story, left her home about midnight.
She begged him, she said, to go back to
town by way of Main street, instead az
the railroad. The place where the body
was found is almost at the outskirts of
town. There are no lights in the vicinity.
The theory of the officers is that Wright
was murdered and laid across the track.
Every indication is that the man was dead
when the engine hit him. An inquest has
been ordered

ing by either sex to the other.
The pews Of the church are so arranged
that by turning up the backs of one a
table is formed, which is spread the
viands. After the greetings and few
prayer, the man at the head of the table
turned and with the basin provided for
the purpose, washed the feet of his
neighbor. Each man was provided wit
a towel The washing done in pro-
gression. When the one had finished
washing his neighbours feet, the neighbor
turned and washed the feet of the man
next to him, and also wiping them. This
rule was also observed by the women.
After the feet washing the men removed
their coats and put on pure white aprons
and prepared for the feast. Bread. roast
beef, milk. rice and vegetables made up
the supper. The blessing was given by
one of the members and all fell to eating.
After the supper Rev. c. H. Brown
preached.
All the old men of the church wear a
full beard and during the supper none
wore coats. The women wore white caps
during the entire service.
The church here is the only one within
many miles and quite number of out
of-town Dunlxards were in attendance at
the services.
