YOUNG GIRL
MURDERED
BODY FOUND in THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER INDICATES BRUTAL
CRIME.

Muscatine, July 24-(SpeciaD "A
mysterious murder came to light Sat
urday evening when George Hatton, a
fisherman found the body of young
woman floating in the Mississippi river
seven miles above Muscatine. Her
throat was cut from ear to ear and
the nose and cheek bones were broken
as If by blow from a heavy instru-
ment. There is no question that muir
der has been committed, and verdict
to that effect was returned by the cor
oner's jury but the question as to the
motive furnishes a mystery. The body
is that Of woman of about % years,
fashionably dressed, with diamond
ring on the third finger Of the left
hand. She was rather tall and had
light hair. The face is unrecognizable
and the body was SO badly decomposed
that it was buried as soon as a justice
of the peace, acting as coroner, had
held an inquest.
May be Davenport Girl.
It is thought that the body may be
that of Davenport girl, Miss Alma

home about a week ago and has not

Made Struggle For Life.
The clothing on the body was torn
and some of it was missing, Indicating
that the girl had fought desperately
against her murderers before being
overpowered 1t is thought that death
took place before the body was thrown
into the river.

IN WRECKED TRAIN.

Wreck Not Known.

Eldon, July 24.-(Special.)- l.)-Brake->
man James Murphy, of Trenton, Mo-,
was burned to death in the wreck
of Rock Island freight train half
mile east of Unionville yesterday af-
ternoon. Engineer Horace Davidson
and Fireman James Mesher, both of
Trenton, were badly burned but 1t is
thought they will recover. Murphy
was roasted to death in the burning
cars. The engine and fourteen cars
Of merchandise were derailed and the
cars with their contents burned, the
wreck being set on fire by the explo-
sion Of a tank of gasoline that was
near the engine. The cause of the
wreck is not known.
Death Wins Race With Rescuers.
Immediately after the wreck oc-
Cured word was sent to Eldon and a
rescue party was hurried out of the
yards here on a switch engine. The
run Of thirty-two miles to the scene
Of the accident was made in twenty
eight minutes and it was hoped that
Murphy's life could be saved, but this
was impossible. 1t is thought he was
literally roasted to death
The train was the third
third section Of west-bound freight
No. 95 and was in charge of Conduc-
tor Weber of Trenton. 1t was running
at the rate of about fifteen miles an
hour when the wreck occurred and
careful examination of the track re-
veals no reason for the derailment.
Murphy was buried underneath the
wreckage and there was no opportu-
nifty to save him. A number of I'm
ionville citizens aided Conductor
Weber In rescuing Engineer Davidson
and Fireman Dresher from the
wrecked engine and thus saved their
lives. Both Of these men, however,
are badly burned and scalded. They
were brought to Eldon and are be-
ing cared for here.
In the wreck were car Of salt. a
car Of lamp fues, car Of steam
threshers, a car of gasoline and car
of air shafts for coal chutes.
This section Of the Rock Island,
between Centeryille and Eldon, has
been peculiarly unfortunate, having
had an average of one wreck every
other week for the last year. Efforts
are constantly being made to keep the
roadbed in repair, but without avail.

PRICE OF SEPTEMBER WHEAT
BREAKS ON CHICAGO BOARD
OF TRADE.

Chicago, July "a. The price for
wheat for September delivery broke
from 21s and 2A cents to 3ss and 31s
cents on the opening trades here to-
day. Advices indicating that the re-
ports Of damage by black rust to
spring wheat had been greatly exag,
gerated were chiefly responsible for
the volume Of selling orders that
flooded the pit.
