klRwln's DEATH A MYSTERY.
coroner's Jury Unable to Deide as to
the Cause

Alton. Aug. 23.-The coroners jury
has been unable to determine whether
JOHN KirWin, the Des Moines man who
was killed on the Burlington tracks
just east of here on Sunday morning,
was killed by a railroad engine, or
met his death at the hands of passing
tramps. The evidence points to the
fact that he was struck by a passing
train, yet what became of the money
which Kirwin had about his person
is still a mystery. 1t is known that
when he started from Alton a few
hours before the accident he had at
least s12 in his pocket, yet when his
dead body was discovered lying be-
tween the two tracks of the Burlington
road, not a cent could be found about
him. His railroad passes aud his
watch chain were found short dis
sance from the body.
The evidence at the coroner's inquest
shows that he left Alton late Saturday
night, together with Bert Kelly. Ben
nett Leak and William Lear, intend
ing to walk to the Great Western
crossing four miles east. When al
most there Kirkin sat down TO rest and

Some OF the exhibits for early Iowa
fairs would be decidedly interesting Ii
they could be duplicated at the pres
ent time. One Of the county fairs
fifty years ago boasted of having sixty
yoke OF oxen. and they were very
handsome ones. Not very many yoke
of oxen could be gathered at any
county fair of the state at the pres
ent time. The Iowa census OF 1850
showed q total of 21,892 work oxen
in the state. Subsequent census re-
turns showed as follows: In 1860.
there were, 56964. in 1870 there were
22.o5s. in 1880 there were 2.506. in 1885
there were 1,723, ard in 1895 there were
$50. Some years ago in an address be-

and when the first state fair was held
at Fairfield in 1854. fifty-ive head were
shown as thoroughbreds by twelve diff

Durham and Devons were the only ones
shown, and they competed with each
other in the same class. Among those

Citizens and Bloodhounds are

ST Mary's, Ohio. Aug. 23.-Early to-
day the gates at the head of ST Mary's
reservoir We're blown up by dynamite.
The report Of the explosion was heard
for miles.
Intense excitement prevails, but
every precaution has been taken to
prevent flood. There are many who
consider the reservoir menace to
surrounding farms.
The attempt was made at O'Clock.
and IL it had blown out the entire bulk
head and opened the flood gates hum
dreds of lives would have been lost.
Altho large amount of dynamite was
used, the bank was not broken so as to
give way. Bloodhounds are with those
in search of the dynamiters. The reser-
voir is the largest artificial body of
water in the world. and this city is
lower than the water, so that intense
excitement exists here.
Although damages were limited
mostly to broken windows in this city.
to the wrecking of one house near the
bulk head and one state boat and par
tial breaking of the bank, there Is
great excitement here because it is
feared the attempt may be repeated.
The shock was plainly felt at Celina,
at the western end of the reservoir,
distance of ten miles. The only
reason St. Mary's was not washed away
is that the charge of dynamite was
exploded in the abatement stone. which
detected its upward, thus saving the
lower portion of the bank.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The packers began

scheme to house their union employees
in the old Hammond plant at Harm
mond, Ind, in the event of the failure
to secure an injunction against the

ganized teamsters headed by John s.
Field, president of the Knickerbocker
Ice Company, and former member OF.
the Chicago board of arbitration. vis-
tied the stock yards on a tour of In
spection. This was due to the effort
to induce Field to act as an intermed-
larry in bringing about some suggestion
Of peace and his refusal to offer any
suggestions until he had made a per-
sonal investigation of conditions at the
packing houses. The report OF the COM
mittee that accompanied Mr. Field. will
be made to the Joint council on this
occasion.
