Case Is One of Muir
der.
Police Still Unable to Secure
Any Clue. to Those Who
Did It.

The police are still at work on the
case of Kris Lien, who was found
lying unconscious in an alley at the
rear Of 116-120 Washington avenue S.,
Saturday night, and who died Sunday
night. So far they have been
able to trace Liens movements from
the time he arrived in the city until he
left his hotel at 2 p. m. Saturday to
catch a 8 O'Clock train for Princeton,
Mimi, except for eight. hours early
Saturday morning. For that period
and that which followed his departure
for the train, no trace has been found;
Officers have been unable to find
Peter .Mosby whose story that Lien
said he, had an enemy seemed to offer
| a possible solution of the mystery. He
was met in Second street saloon,
told his story and promised to go to
police headquarters and repeat the
tale to the officers. He failed to keep
his promise and as he is transient
| the officers do not expect to find him.
! Whether his story would have thrown
| any light on the case is doubted.
The autopsy yesterday revealed a
terrible fracture Of the skull. Il, The
fracture .centered in an indentation,
! made by, some blunt instrument, just
above the left eye, with radiations OF
more than an inch in length. 1T was
of such a nature, the surgeons say,
that it could not have been self-in-
ficted. Beyond a doubt the unforl
tunate. man was murdered. a7ss
Halvor Anderson, a cousin of Lien
who was also engaged in farming with
him in North Dakota, arrived in the
city this morning and will take the re-
mains to Princeton, Mimi, Lien:
4 former home. Anderson says that hi
knows nothing of Liens having an,
! enemies, altho he admits that hi
might have had one. /: He is inclined

dered, but is at a loss to assign an,
4 motive.
i Coroner Williams is somewhat re
luctant to accept the theory that .Lfel
received his injuries by, falling to tn,
3 pavement in the alley while intoxi
! Gated, as has been advanced. He say
4 that in his medical experience he neve
saw a case of such terrible fractur
of the skull, and questions if it conlt
& have resulted from a fall.

and it was DR.. House who conducted
the negotiations with the brigands
which ended with the payment 3sof
$6S,S00 in gold and the release Of her
self and Madam Tsilka. Probably no
one now in America is better fitted to-
speak Of the situation in Turkey.
There is Of course no question but
that the Macedonian committee used
the money paid in ransom for Miss
Stone to purchase arms and ammuni
ton for and to further the cause Of
the present revolutions said Dr..
House.
Three things prompted the bri-
gands to effect Miss Stones capture.
One was to secure the money; one was
to call the attention of Europe and
the United States to the unsafe condi-
ton of Turkey and the third was to
revenge themselves on the mission
aries who had refused to be black
lutionary fund.
It do not believe that the commit
i tee as a. whole knew of the approach
ing capture Of Miss Stone, but the
secret committee, the wheel within a
Wheel undoubtedly arranged for it.
The revolutionary party always has
in view the possibility of obtaining
European intervention by demonstra-
| ton Of the possibilities Of bad govern
ment, and since the Spanish-American
war has placed the United States in
the list of the world powers United
States subjects have received the at
| tentiOn of the revOlutionists, as wit
ness the Beirut incident and Miss
Stones case.
while Russia is not fomenting, the
troubles in Turkey, Russia's attitude
will probably always be passive, as it
suits her purpose to have as many
people as possible killed off in Turkey

which is getting a hold on Turkey

fana PpIcnn

Friends of James r, Stevenson of South
st. Paul. who is serving a fourteen-y years
states prison sentence in Montana for
horse stealing, have obtained Governor
Toole's promise Of pardon for the convict
ed man and he will probably soon be re-
stored to liberty.
Stevenson who served three terms as
city justice of South St. Paul. and had a
good reputation there, sold train load OF
horses in Sioux City three years ago. The
horses had been stolen In Montana and
altho Stevenson claimed that ne supposed
the horses were the property of his prin-
cipals and that he only sold them on
commission, he was convicted.
His wife, his friend Charles w. Farnam
and several state officials and prominent
men of St. Paul have interested them
selves in his case and his pardon now
seems assured

whose financial operations have land

Vile, CAL, say large sums Of money
are owing them and draw attention Of

that Ernst is involved to the extent Of
