,OOKS LIKE MURDER They WON'T GIVE UP
Body Of an Unknown Man Found
Back Of a Washington

The Injuries Which Caused Death
Practically Preclude Theory

Weltering in a pool of blood, the body
OF an unknown man was found lying be-
meath the second landing Of the stairs
leading to the rooms over Loomis' saloon.

An examination showed that the scalp

probably following. He reached the door
and found it locked. Here the murderers
overlook him, struck him over the eye
with a slung shot, robbed the body and
dropped it over the landing into the alley

occupied by the body, for had the man
fallen over the railing his body would

One thing that puzzles Coroner Williams
and the officers is how the man came to
have marks upon both sides Of the head
unless he was murdered. They point out
that had he fallen over the railing acci-
dentally, the injuries would only have
been found on the one side of the head,
while the body shows wounds on both
sides, either Of which, would have been
sufficient to cause death. The blood on
the steps cannot be accounted for upon
the accident theory. 49,
The man was. evidently laboring
man, a painter perhaps. as is indicated by
his clothing. He was about 45, heavily
built, dark complexioned and weighted
about 200. He wore a dark mustache and
had a heavy head Of hair. No papers
were found in his clothing.

Aldermen and County Commission
ers Will Refuse to Surrender
Public Building.
They i Urge That the Law Creating
Building Commission Is
4 Invalid.

IA When the new municipal building COM
mission undertakes to assume control Of
the courthouse and city hall. it will be
met with a gentle but Arm refusal down
the line. on one side will be the board Of
scount commissio and on the other
will be the city council and each will de-
cline to turn over the portions of the
building respectively committed to their
care to the municipal building commission
Sor any other body. ~ gs. ). Flig
An appeal to the courts will be re-
sisted and should the new commission OBJ
tain possession it will be only after fight
ing every step Of it's way. :,4sG
y Carping critics will say that the county
commissioners and the aldermen are
prompted, by resentm ent over the law to
deprive them of patronage. There are
about twenty positions at the disposal Of
the county board and about ten for the
council committee on public grounds and
buildings But aside from any. consider
alton of patronage able lawyers contend
that the commissioners and aldermen have
the law behind them. Ittis urged that
the act creating the municipal building
commission is unconstitutional, because it
is ansamendment to the special act Great
ing the old courthouse and city hall COM
mission which built the structure and is
still in complete control OF the unfinished
portions. The act is thus In contravention
Of the constitutional provisions prohibiting
special legislation and lawyers say that
1t is not only special In effect, as relating
only to Hennepin county, but it is special
in form as well. '*+ -.
A majority of the members of the: new
commission sincerely hope that the claim
will be sustained by the courts They are
not at all desirous to%take charge Of the
big building and would have lobbied
against the bill had they known what was
going on in the legislature. Nevertheless,
when the time comes it will be their duty
to demand possession and in the event Of
opposition to take the matter into court.

The attempt to lift the cup" is

Thomas Upton is not seriously con-
cerned about that, being possessed of
great wealth, and animated by
an ardent desire to take back with
him a trophy won ffty-two years

country He alone bears the expense
of the lifting" attempt, while the
cost of the defense is divided among
sixteen wealthy Americans. An esti-
mate of the expense to the visitor in
the race this year alone puts it at
100000. Chief of the items of the
expense are these: The total cost
of the third Shamrock, including
its various sails and experiments, is
placed at $450,0O0. Thirty-three
vessels, including launches, and two
hundred and five men, are employed
by Sir Thomas in his enterprise. The
yacht of course is valuable only for
racing purposes, and unless the gen
eral opinion among yachtsmen on
this side is at fault, there will be lit
tie use for the third Shamrock after
the race this year.

Baby's DimpIe.

According to an old legend, the
baby's dimples mark the spots where
angels fingers touched the child in
bearing it from heaven to earth, but
unromantic doctors have a different
explanation. They say that dimples
probably result from defective de-
1yelopment Of muscle. When the
muscle is called into use the defec-
tive portion fails to respond and a
hollow is left into which the flesh
and skin of the cheek, for example,
fall, and thus the dimple is formed.
