UNKNOWN WOMAN
FOUND MURDERED.
Girls Throat Was Cut and She Was
Evidently of Wealthy
Family

Muscatine, Ia, July 24.-The body of a
young girl, about % years of age, has
been found in the river here. Her throat
had been cut. The coroner's jury brought
in a verdict of murder. The victim has
not been identified, but it is thought she
belonged to wel-to-do family, as she
wore diamonds and was Handsomely
dressed.
Toledo, O., July 24.-What was in all
probability a murder was brought to
light when the body of Il woman about
10 years of age was found strapped to
the wall of an clubhouse back of a coun-
try schoolhouse, near Carey, 0. The
body was in an advanced stage of pu-
trefaction, so much so that all efforts
to establish its identity have proven fu-
tile. Examination at the undertaker's
revealed the fact that the woman wore,
underneath fine dress skirt, n pair of
mems trousers, but this fact only serves
to deepen the mystery That the deed
was murder is beyond doubt owing to
the finding of a bar of iron hammered
into Il chisel near the clubhouse, which
was covered with blood spots. There
was also evidence of struggle near
where the body was found.

TORTURED TO DEATH
ON CHICAGO STREET.
Prosperous Real Estate Owner Bleeds
to Death-Highwaymen Open
Arteries

Chicago, H., July 24.-The police be-
lieve that the death of John Tesmer at
the county hospital, yesterday, an hour
after he had been found in a doorway at
Ashland avenue and Emily street, was
due to torture inflicted by men who had
attacked and robbed him.
Tesmer, who was a prosperous real
estate owner, had collected rent at sew
eral places and was going to his resi-
dence, when he was attacked by high
waymen. He fought the robbers, but
was worsted. \ blow on the left eye,
which left an ugly cut it believed to
have knocked him unconscious. He was
dragged into a hallway, where he was
found several hours later. Several cuts
were POUNDS ON Tesmer's hands and
arms. Two gashes, which opened the
arteries of the wrists, are believed to
have been inflicted deliberately while the
man was in the power of the bandits.
After the robbers had taken Tesmer's
watch and $50 from him they sat him
in an upright position in the doorway
and left him to bleed to death from the
severed arteries in his wrists. Search
for the mans assailants has so far been
unayailing.

Chicago Pit Flooded with Selling Orders

Chicago, Ill.,, July 24.-The price of
wheat for September delivery broke rs
OLE to 3$a@31ac a bushel on opening

that the report of damage by black rust

today that in North Dakota practically
no damage had been done.

SLASH RATES STILL MORE.
Michigan Central Announces Another Cut
in Fast-bound Passenger Traffic
Others Follow.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 22.-Rates from
Chicago to New York received Il double
slash yesterday, and on all sides knives
are out whetted for another cut. The
Michigan Central announced that next
Monday it would reduce its rates to the
basis of SIC first class and S15 second
class, a cut of So below the normal diff
ferential rate, which meets the rates
now in effect by the other differential
lines.
Thereupon the Grand Trunk, Erie,
Wabash and Nickel Plate roads an
nounced that next Tuesday they would
make another cut of 81. The Pan
handle and Baltimore & Ohio roads like
ly will put in the S14 rate first class
Tuesday, instead of the $40 rate, which
they announced two days ago.
The Michigan Central. in the future
will be as aggressive as its competitors.
The day after they cut their rates to
the $14 New York basis. it will make
another cut of 81. The result probably
will be a drop of So in the rates every
day next week.

the number of dead as high as fifty,

There are hundreds of homeless peo-

shacks in the oil field and fed for their
lives to the town. All their belongings
have been destroyed by fire.
During the night there was & heavy
