ANOTHER MURDER
Corpse Found Over the Pail.

A party of sportsmen while out
shooting Sunday, discovered the body
OF a man in dense thicket, where it
had evidently been placed for con-
cealment. There is no doubt but that
the man met with foul play, for after
careful examination it was found
that he had received a gunshot wound
in the abdomen inflicted either by a
rifle or pistol. 1t was also found that
the mans skull had been crushed
by some heavy instrument. The sup
position is that after being shot he was
put out of misery by a heavy blow on
the head. At the coroner's inquest
which was held Monday the jury re-
turned verdict, that death was caus-
ed from a wound in the head, inflicted
by heavy instrument in the hands of
some unknown erson. The body has
not been identified. consequently the
officers are making strenuous efforts to
find out who the unknown is, with the
hope that they can then locate the
| murderer.
There is only one clue by which the
! officers can work and this they are
| following diligently. Owing to the
| massive chest and shoulders, large BIZ
ceps and forearm, slender waist and
| general graceful physique, the suppo-
sition is that he was a pupil of the
| Woods Institute, corner Fort and
| Queen streets. The officers will take
| the body before Prof Woods for his
Identification as he is unable to visit
the morgue on account of his increased
business.

QUARANTINE MATTER.
President Cooper reported that on
Sunday at 1920 a. m. he received
telephone message from the quarantine
boarding officer, DR.. "A. N. Sinclair,
that a case of measles was on board
the transport Sherman just arrived.
Is responded by going down to the
boat landing, but on arrival saw peo-
pie coming ashore from the transport.
AT this he made a request that in cases
of such contagious diseases-measles
being among the list for which vessels
are not quarantined-being found on
board incoming vessels the Board of
Health be notified. Being referred to
the chief quarantine officer he pre-
ferred the same request to him by
letter.
Dr. Cofer replied saying that the re-
quest would be compiled with so far
as notifying the Board was concerned,
but he had not the power to quarantine
the vessels in such circumstances. DR..
Cofer suggested in his letter that the
Board prepare circular requesting
the masters of vessels having sickness
on board not to bring the ships to
wharf until the representative of the
Board of Health should have had an
opportunity of investigating the sick
ness.
President Cooper stated that he had
prepared such circular.

The interest the smaller towns til
butary to this city are taking In the
proposed line Of interurban railway ia
indeed encouraging to the promoters.
Much more enthusiasm has been shown
in the smaller towns than was ex-
pected at the outset, and 1t shows that
the people In the rural districts and
villages are alive to the advantages
that may be afforded by being on an
interurban line The history Of inter-
urban roads shows that while larger
towns are benefited. the smaller ones
are also, and, in fact. receive a much
larger proportion Of benefit. according
to population, than the larger ones. Ii
begins to look as If there would be
no doubt but that at least one inter-
urban line OF railway would be built
out OF Marshalltown next summer.
There is said to be plenty of inter,lr-
ban money in the hands of eastern
capitalists, who are ready and anxious
to place it in just such a road as Mar
shalltown proposes to build.
The action of n Marshalltown school
teacher, in openly violating her con-
tract. and leaving her position without
any notice WHdtcNeT 10 luG SupSTlIlt'sN-
dent, has attracted considerable notice
in the press of the state. This is the
first case since the new contracts went
into effect that a violation has occurred,
and 1t Is hoped by the managem emit
of the schools and patrons alike that
there will be no more. Good work can
not be done In schools where teachers
are constantly changing, and pupils
have to begin instruction under a new
teacher, after having got nicely set
tied down to work under another.
Teachers argue from a standpoint that
1t is hard to refuse an increase in sal
airy when 1t is offered. On the ot1sr
hand, however, the teacher woald OBJ
ject strenuously, and take 1t to the
courts IL necessary, We're she to be dis
charged just because another teacher
could be found who would do the same
work for less money. II q teacher sims

Action has finally been taken by the
city to build the new storage reservoir
In connection with the pumping station.
During the coming summer Marshall
town will have in operation a 100000
gallon reservoir, connected with new
and bottle tight pumping well, which
will DO away with any pos
sibility of contamination thru
seepage of any sort. Daniel w. Mead,
the consulting engineer, who stands as
one of the leading men in his profes-
sion In the country. says that he has
no doubt but that the new system Will
solve the question of pure water for
all time to come. The aerating device,
to be built in connection with the reser-
voir. Will have a tendency to do away
with considerable of the iron that IL
in the water. and which is detrimental
only to manufacturers and laundry
purposes The improvement. while cost
ly, will be willingly met by the tax
payers, who want the water question
settled once and for all.
There will be no little difference Of
opinion among patrons of the public
library as TO the wisdom of the board
in closing the building to the public
on holidays. 1t would seem that so long
as the Hbrary's aim is to serve the
public II should work hardest and long
est on the days when the public, re-
lieved from business grind, is best
able to embrace its advantages. This
would demand a program that would
keep the library open more hours On
Sunday than on any other day in the
week and also open all day on holidays
However, since the original program
with the Marshafltown library called
for open doors during only three hours
on a holiday, the change in closing
them entirely is not violent one and
the fact that the holiday attendance
has always been SO very light indicates
that very few will be Inconvenience.
Miss Tyler. secretary to the stare
library commission, writes that the Il
brary should be kept open on holidays
by oil means so as to accommodate
the people employed in shops and stores
who have leisure time on holiday. as

who d., not enjoy the comforts of Il

gests that this may be done and still
give the employees their holiday by en-
gaging extra help at very small ex-
pense This could very well be done
in Mar!,halltown and, II the board really
desires to so forward in library work,
provision should be made for an open
library all day Sundays and holidays
and thu. fact advertised to the public.

Double Shooting Accident at
Hayerhill Proves a Ser
ious Affair
BLOOD POISONING
FEARED
Outcome at Present Uncertain in Both
cases-Lackey Receives Greater Part
Of the Charge, But Penetration is
Not So Deep-Arm of Each is Badly
Shattered.

hill Friday afternoon. which resulted
in an injury to Charlie. Lackey and
Frank Kopel. may prove to be veiy
pei are badly injured, and death may
result from the ver-to-be feared In
lection In such cases. Lackey received
the greater part of the charge from
Guy Deals gun, but the penetration
was not quite so deep as in kopei's
case. because of the fact that he was
not quite so heavily dressed.
Deal was loading his Winchester re-
peauing shotgun at the time the acct
dent occurred. as stated in these co'i-
umns Friday afternoon. He was not
much over thirty feet away from his
comrades. who were waking. ahead Of
him. Deals shells were loaded with
No. 6 shot. and he was shooting three
and a quarter drains of smokeless. The
spenetrative power can only be imaK-
ined when 1t Is known that both of the
victims of the shooting were wearing
at the time of the accident heavy fur
coats. The pellets went clear thru the
coats. and in Iiackey's case thru an
inner coat lined with sheepskln. In
the case of kopel, who was not
quite so heavily dressed, some of the
shot passed entirely thru the left arm.
and were imbedded just under the skin.
Lackey received about forty pellets IN
his right arm. and in the left arm Of
Kopel were found about twenty FIVE
In his side Lackey received twenty OF
the shot, and Kopel fifteen. One of the
shot struck Lackey directly in the line
of the spinal column. but fortunately
the penetration was not very des p.
Another penetrated his elbow joint
and could not be located II blood poi-
soning does not result from the inju-
ries the men received, their escape Will
be considered fortunate. AS 1t is am
pltation may be necessary in either
case.
Frank Kopel. one of the young men
who was shot. is 25 years of age and
unmarried He Is the son of Mrs.
Philip Breckweg. living one-half mile
south of Hayerhill. Lackey Is about
