and Hid the Body.

Buried four feet under ground In
stall on his own farm, two miles from
Melvin, Ia, and stamped into an al
most unacceptable condition by the
horses, which have been stabbed over
his grave, the body of Peter johnson,
who disappeared Feb. 10. 1908. was dis
covered last week. The discovery is
the tragic elimination of a malicious
murder and supplies one of the miss
Ing links in the case which threatens
to send Fred Hokuf, Johnson's hired
man, now in the Osceola county jail
accused of numbering johnson, to the
penitentiary for life. The general be-
lief is that johnson met his death by
being shot in an upstairs room in his
house and that under the cover OF
darkness the body was dragged to the
stable, the lonely grave dug by the
murderer and the body dropped within.
It was then covered up and the ground
was tramped and hammered down by
the hoofs of horses. After the disap-
pearance of johnson, Hokuf lived on
the farm and repeatedly declared that
Johnson had left on long visit.
After an hours torture in the sweat
box Fred Hokuf confessed that he
murdered Peter Jehnson on the lat
ter's farm the evening Of Feb 10.
1903. Sheriff Stevens Of Sihley and
o. r. Harding of Sioux City confronted
Hokuf with the mass OF evidence
against him and he finally broke down,
weeping like child and told the story.
He said he had been at Melvin and
returned to the johnson farm in the
evening after drinking quite freely.
