Special to Times-Republican
Belle PLANE, March 31.-With his
throat cut from ear to ear, his head
crushed and his leg broken, the body OF
an unknown man was found along side
the tracks in the Northwestern yards
here. 1t is believed he was murdered
probably by tramps on Northwestern
train and the body thrown off the car
as it passed thru this city The cor
oner's verdict declares the man was
murdered, and there seems to be little
doubt that it is true. There is some
difference of opinion, however, and a
few persons are inclined to believe the
man committed suicide. The circum-
stances, however, are against the sui
eide theory.
The body evidently had been lying
alongside the track for some time be-
fore it was discovered and the person
or persons who committed the crime
had time to get far away from the
scene of the murder before it was
known here. The remains when pick
ed UP We're cold and rigid and the cloth
ing was covered with frost. The body
was taken to an undertaker's parlors
and an examination made. 1t was
found that the throat had been cut with
"a sharp instrument, probably razor,
the jugular vein being severed. One
leg was broken and the skull crushed.
The broken leg and the wound in the
head are believed to have been caused
probably when the man was thrown
from the train after he had been killed
in the car. The coroner was sum-
moned and jury impanneled and after
viewing the remains and examination
of witnesses a verdict stating that the
unfortunate man come to his death by
foul means was rendered. All efforts
to solve his identity have so far been
futile. No money was found on the
dead mans clothes. A few papers in
dicating that he had been in the en-
ploy of a Chicago coal company were
found in his pockets and bunch of
keys with the initials H. A. N" were
also taken from his clothes.
The murdered man was about 80
years old, and light. His cloth
es were of good quality altho quite we'll
worn and indicated he had been en-
ployed in clerical capacity.
The city Marshal arrested a sus-
pect at Clutter yesterday and he was
brought to this city and examined by
the county attorney and marshal.
There was not sufficient evidence, how
ever to hold him and he was released
The case is a mysterious one, and the
murder, If murder it was, will prob
ably never be solved. The remains are
still here and the authorities are max
ing every effort to find his relatives.

City Officer.

City Officer.
Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, March 3t.-Since the
swearing of two new aldermen into the
city council few nights ago the coun-
Gil of Muscatine is composed of four
democrats and the same number of re-
publicaEs. Mayor McNutt is also re-
publican, but this does not insure the
ELECTION of another set of republican
officers. The other night an election
was attempted, and each republican
voted for the republicans who are now
filing the subordinate offices. The
democrats voted for little bit of
everybody, and by avoiding a tie vote
prevented the mayor, who would also
have voted for the republicans, from
exercising his prerogative. The demo-
Gratis say that they will prevent an
election until the republicans agree to
divide the spoils. The republicans are
standing pat and refuse to make any
concessions.

NO LABOR LEGISLATION.

Organized labor never had a stronger
force of workers in the state legisla-
ture than it has today, and organized
labor never expected less from law
making body than it does from the
present legislature of this state.
The railroad labor organizations have
intelligent Legislative committees in
st. Paul, and the State Fedora ton Of
Labor has most active committee,
but it is with the utmost difficulty
that a house committee is induced to
report favorably on a real beneficial
la Dor measure. The most meritorious
la Dor mea sure stands better show for
defeat in one house or the other than
a special privilege, corporation meas
ure. Now, why is this? Why is it that
candidates for the legislature who are
so promising before election, are so
indifferent. after? Why is it that they
regard the most effective labor meas
ures as too radical for enactment into
winter are for the protection of all
labor in matters of personal injury.
There is much needed legislation along
this line, caused by extreme rulings of
courts, but the legislature turns deaf
and indifferent ear to it all.
When labor knows the kind of men to
send to the legislature it may receive
some beneficial legislation, and not I'M
til then. The legislature is no place
for trimmer or collier" Earnest,
sincere and knowing men are needed
there, and if labor would rather elect
old fogies' it must take the consi-
uuences, with it's regular dish Of mo
'bor legislaton.'
