STRAW STACK FIND
Dead Man Whose Identity Is
Unknown to Authorities.
Believed to Have Been Robbed, Forced
to lump From Train-Both
Ankles DisIocated.

Rice county has a mystery and an
investigation may prove that crime
was committed, resulting in the death
of man whose identity is not yet
known to the authorities. On Dec.
81 a Methodist minister residing at
Dundas was removing straw from a
stack one and half miles south of
that village and near the track of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road. He was Mortified to find dead
man concealed under the straw and
he lost no time in notifying Coroner
Ray at Faribault, who has since made
an investigation of the case and his
deductions are that the man was rid
ing on a Milwaukee freight train.
was robbed by tramps who, after Sc
curing all of his valuables, forced him
to jump from the train. In so doing
he rolled down twenty foot embank-
ment and disIocated both ankles. The
weather was cold, and being unable
to walk the man crawled into the
straw stack but a short distance away
and there laid down, freezing to death
as he slept.
Yesterday Coroner Ray, police Off
GERS from Faribault and Contractor
Whitney went to the scene and made
another examination of the ground !;
also they took an accurate description
of the dead man. He was five feet
ten inches in height, weight 1855
pounds, dark stubby beard of probably
ten days growth, dark waivy hair.
the upper teeth on the left side of the
jaw all gone with the exception of the
second molar from the center, dark
brown eyes. He wore dark brown
wooden pants, sack coat, light brown,
felt hat, name of Queen City, its size
being N. He also had on pair of
overalls. His shoes were shsrped
toed, with hole in one of them. over
shoes, leather with cloth tops. he
wore two heeced lined shirts. His
undershirt is marked 'R. S.. while
his drawers and outside shirt are
marked sc. Fl. s. The man had
evidently been in the straw stack ten
days He had the appearance of being
a Woodworking man, his hands being
calloused and his clothing was such as
a laboring man would wear. In his
pocket was a pearl handled knife, but
no papers or other articles by which
he could be identified.
The Faribault police stated that
they saw the man on the streets of
that city short time since.
Coroner Ray proposes to leave no
stone unturned to establish the mans
identity.

WANT LAKE RAISED.
Property Owners Ask Permission to
Restore Level of Rice Lake.

Fred W. Winger, Albert Ditthermer,
Nicholas Phillips, Thomas Bowe,
Henry Shallow, Henry Thielmann and
F. W. Lossow have started an action
in the district court against George
May and Ernest Ruege over the low
ering of Rice lake. They say that the
defendants ditched the lake in 1885 in
order to increase their land, and that
it has spoiled the lake for fishing,
hunting, boating, cutting ice, etc.
The lake has become partly dry, and
this has reduced the rain fall in the
territory adjacent, rendered the sur
rounding country unhealthful on &C.
count of the, miasmic doors, given an
impetus to typhoid fever, and the
ditch floods the plaintiffs land after
heavy rainfalls.
The plaintiffs ask the court for leave
to enter upon Mr.. Mays premises and
to construct substantial and perma-
nent dam, three and one-half feet
nigh, at the source of the outlet, or
one high enough to restore the lake
to its former natural level. They also
ask to have the defendants restrained
from removing the dam after it shall
be constructed. :
Albert 81. Lossow and J. w.
Schmitt are the plaintiffs attorneys.

SHOT IN THE LEGS
James Emory Receives 9
Charge Accidentally.
He Was With a Party of Young Men
Who Were Handling Guns in
Careless Way.

James Emory, sixteen J ear-old lad,
who has been making his home with
different families in Decoria for some
time past, was shot in the legs at
about five o'clock Thursday morning.
1t cannot be determined who fired the
shot. Emory and number of young
men were at the farm of Henry Lortz
and there was considerable shooting
going on. Young Emory received the
charge of enc of the guns in his legs.
Friday Emory was brought TO
st. Joseph's hospital by Albert Juliar,
chairman of the town board. He is
receiving the attention of the county
physician, DR.. A. O. Bielland.
The shooting of the boy was no
doubt accidental, but it would seem
that some sort of an investigation
should be made in order to find out
who is responsible for the carelessness.
It is said that six shot entered the
boys legs.
Emory has no parents and was
taken from the state school at Owa-
tonna.

NEARLY RUN DOWN.
Arman Rockey's Narrow Escape on
Rock Street CROSSING.

Arman Rockey, who drives the
Wells-Fargo Express company's de-
livery wagon, had narrow escape
Wednesday night on the Rock street
crossing, the most dangerous railroad
crossing in the city. The gates we're
up at 10 80 p. M. and there was no
sign of danger, and he undertook to
drive across the tracks. When he
reached the Omaha track, a passenger
train dashed onto the crossing from
the north at rapid rate. Mr.. Hockey
had just time to pull his horse onto its
launches to escape being run over.
There have been other complaints that
the crossing is not properly guarded.
Mr. Graves. who drives hack, was
caught between the gates, on the
track, the other night, and another
hackman who was caught recently had
to drive block on the track to get
out.
The track curves so that, in ap-
preaching from the east, person can
not see whether there is any danger.
