wholesale robbery of graves in the
cemeteries about Indianapolis was
brought to close early to-day for a
prominent physician, the demonstrat-
or of anatomy in local medical col
lege, in which two stolen bodies were
found ten days ago; an inferno in the
college and the white janitor of the
college Rufus Cantrel, one of the
negroes, made complete cofession
and implicated the others. He said
the physicina accompanied the negroes
ON several of the grave robbing expe-
ditions. The police say the operat-
ions of the gang were on larger scale
than any gang in the state ever at
tempted before. Upward of 100 gray

detectives say the negroes were armed
with shot guns and equipped with
horses and wagons with which to do
the work. The bodies were sold to
different colleges which opened their

CHANGE OF VENUE is DEMANDED
Merger Suits" Will Be Tried by Ram
.sey District Court.

ST. Paul, Feb. 11.-Demands for a
change of venue from Hennepln county
to Ramsey county We're filed yesterday
in the Ramsey district court in the two
merger suits" begun Jan. 81. In one
of these suits John B. Marquand is the
plaintiff on his own account and for
other stockholders. and the defendants
are the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany and it's officers and directors. In
the other suit Milton Bouden and So
phia Bart Chapman are the plaintiffs.
and the Great Northern Railway Com
pany it's officers and directors, are the
defendants. Each suit is brought to re-
strain the consumation of the so-called
merger as contrary to the laws of Min
nesota.
Attorneys for the defendants make
affidavit that the principal place OF bus
mess of the roads is in st. Paul, that
certain of the officers and directors live
in st. Paul, while the others are non
residents of the state.
Under the law of Minnesota, the de-
mand is sufficient to bring about the
change of Venue, and so both cases will
probably come on for hearing at the
March term of court

Story county farmer. Said he: "A Pc
culiar thing occurred in this store just

MAY LOSE U. P. BUSINESS.
Rumor That Northwestern May Lose
Overland Limited Trains Revived.


Council Bluffs. Feb. 1.-THE old ru-
NOR that the Union Pacific would dis
continue it's overland connections with
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
and enter into similar relations with
some other Council Bluffs Chicago line
has recently been revived, not only
among the railroad officials in this city,
but elsewhere as well. Now it is said
the Illinois Central may carry the over
land trains to Chicago. For years past
rumors of such a change have appeared
at periodical intervals, and two years
ago, when the Illinois Central COM
plcted its line from Fort Dodge to this
city. the rumors assumed almost the
proportion of facts. Since then. how
ever, the talk has again died down until
within the past few weeks. when state
ments coming from Union Pacific
sources seem to indicate that such 4
change is now under contemplation
with every indication that 1t will be
consummated this year
If such change is made, 1t will
mean considerable improvements in
the Illinois Central trackage, the first
of which will be to double track the
road from this city to Chicago. When
the right Of way of the Illinois Contra,
was graded over two years ago, and
the bridges built, ample room was
made for another track. which could
be laid at any time. A railroad official
speaking of the proposed change.
stated that If the agreement was con-
summated, work would be begun by
the Illinois Central within three
months to double track it's line to
complete the double tracking, and the
change of systems might not be made
until then.
The reason that is given for the pro-
posed change is the fact that the Illi-
nois Central and the Union Pacific are
now both strong Hartman lines. while
the Northwestern is still under thu
control of the Vanderbilts. Formerly.
when the Union Pacific was under the
Vanderbilts, little difficulty was en-
countered in maintaining the traffic
relations with the Northwestern, but
now that the Hartman star has
gained the ascendancy it is said that
the difficulties have arisen which mako
q change desirable.

SAW RICHARDSON MURDERED.
Ed Smith, of Council Bluffs, Claims to
Have Witnessed the Crime.


Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Feb. lid Smith.
alias Maynard Shoemaker, made a
written statement to Chief of Police AL
bro late yesterday evening, in which
he states that he was an eye witness to
the shooting of Frank w. Richardson
at Savannah, Mo-. Dec. "a. 1900. He
states that he had entered the Richard
son homestead, secretly, and had hidden
himself. while listening to a CONVERSE
ton between a man and woman in
another room. That while he was yet
listening the front door of the residence
was opened and another man, Mr..
Richardson, came in and met the other
man in the hallway. A short scuffle
followed, when the intruder in the
Richardson home drew revolver and
fired the shot that ended Richardson's
life. Smith says he escaped from the
building by n rear door and supposed
he had not been discovered. He mingled
with the excited neighbors, who had
been attracted by the shooting, and was
later approached by citizen of the
town and given a ticket to this city and
$40 bill. He states that he is now
the real perpetrator of the crime, and
would have done it before If Mrs. Rich
ardson had been found guilty.
The fellow who makes this statement
has had checkered career. having
served terms in both the Nebraska and
Iowa penitentiaries for forgery. He is
considered something of a crook, and
just what are his motives for making
these statements at this time is mys-
terry. He does not state what his bust
ness was in the house. nor even what
his business was in the city. He Is be-
ing kept under the eye of the police
here till the Missouri authorities can be
heard from
