later. having been murdered in the same
manner. Extreme brutality marked both
murders. the murderer having appar-
emily stamped upon the faces and bodies
OF both victims with heavy thick soled
boots.
The bodies OF the third and fourth
victims were found last evening The
third victim was an infantryman whose.
body was found cut In two at the middle
and otherwise mutiliated. II was found
near the targets on the rife range. The
BODY was in bad state OF decomposi-
ton.
The fourth victim was discovered in
an unconscious condition near the rail-
road tracks outside TIE town Of Win

times
The belief prevails I'm some quarters
that a s all the murderers' victims have
been soldiers the man who committed
the crimes IS a deserter from the army
who has become insane.

CHEROKEE CLUB DANCE.
Kansas City Journal People Guesta
ofFionor Last Night.

The Cherokee club gave dance AZ
their club rooms Friday night In honor
Of the Kansas City journal CORES
pondents who are touring the two
territories. The attendance was ex-
ceptionally large, aud it seemed that
the very air In the capacious rooms
breathed Of gayety, and when the
sweet strains Of music rendered by
Frank Stevenson mingled with this
breath the spark of genuine pleasure
was set aglow and the dancing became
lively, indeed, remaining so Through
out the evening.
Some Of the best dancers in the city
belong to this club, and with the
ladies, who are all naturally graceful
dancers, they presented a most beauti-
ful appearance, darting and whirlIng
hither and thither, gliding over the
smooth floor In perfect accord with
the music.
Perhaps no other passtime has the
same peculiar fascination as that OF
dancing, and, when given an oppof-
tunity like the one last evening at the
Cherokee club rooms, vinita young
people certainly know how TO enjoy
and appreciate 1t.
