WICKLIFPE HAS A
MYSTERIOUS MURDER
Murdered Foreigner Found I'm.
der Floor of Shack.
He is Supposed TO Have Belonged to
Railroad Gang---IIis Identity
il Unknown.
WAS KILLED WHILE HELPLESS.

Wickllffe. Ky. Oct. 27-The iden-
tiiy of the man whose body was
found In a shanty here Is still un-
solved.
The town and county authorities
have about abandoned all hopes of
ever unraveling the mystery. The
general opinion is that the man was
a foreigner who was among a gang
of laborers working ON the Illinois
Central railroad.
For ovar year the Illinois Central
railroad has been cutting down hills
and making fills, in preparing to
move its track back from the rivers
bank. Hundreds of men. mostly for
eigners, have been engaged in the
work.
About thrse months ago while un-
loading car. one OF the men in a
gang of 100 foreigners broke his leg.
He was removed to one of the little
shanties in which a do1sn or more
men lived.
Nothing more was thought of the
Greek laborer Il being supposed that
ne was confined by the broken limb,
until the whole affair was brought to
yhe surface again on last Tuesday.
The Oliver company who employed
the Greeks moved to another part of
the county several weeks ago, taking
the laborers along.
Tuesday a party of railroad men,
working near the Old shack, near
Wickliffe. were annoyed with an un-
pleasant odOr which cams from the
shack. They Investigated and as they
entered the building, they discovered
that the odor came from under the
floor.
Upon tearing up the boards. they
were horror stricken TO see in one
corner a mans feet sticking up out
of the ground, Further examination
brought to view hea1less body.
Digging deeper the party found the
leoapltated head,
In moving the body II was found
that one of the dead mans legs was
broken. The previous affair of a
missing Greek labOrer with q broken
leg. came back to the memory of sew
a1al who were acquainted with cir
cumstances in the case. But why was
the man dead and his head cut from
its body? The foreigners thought
perhaps that was the best way to re-
lieve him of his suffering Perhaps
It was the work of the BLACK Hand
society.
The man may have been marked
by The deadly assassins of some so
ciety for months. While laying hnlp-
less on his bunk the best time for 2
mnrderers stiletto may have pre-
sented its.lf

To those about him he expressed
himself as immensely pleased win
The demonstration in his honor,
which was far beyond his expecta-
lions or the expectations of the mem
bers OF his party. and said that the
reception was the greatest that he
had had since ha had sarted on MS
trip.
The demonstration at the lun-
cheon was scarcely less exuberant
when the president entered the SUI
perbly decorated dining hall the 40
guests rose as one man and gave way
to frantic cheers. Every reference
of Gov. Blanchard. Mayor Behrman
and President Sanders of the Pro
gressiye Union brought forth re-
newed cheering. and when the pres
ldent himself arose he had great
difficulty in speaking. Every
thought he uttered was the signal
for an extraordinary exhibition of
enthusiasm. and his speech dealt al
most entirely with local subjects and
had special reference TO the fight
against yellow fever The banquet
developed into an unceasing ovation
while the president was on his feet
An immense crowd packed Ora
vler and ST. Charles streets as the
dinner ended, and the appearances Of
the president on his way to the river
front elected prolonged applause.
As the Magnolia left her landing a
presidential salute was fred. and the
Undesirable din of the whistles of
the factories and river craft mingled
with the lusty cheering of crowd
Of people who had collected on the
river front.

STRINGENT RULES
Will BE Adopted by the Railroads
For Handling Explosives.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 27.-Stringent
rules regarding the shipment of ex-
plosives will be enforced by all the
railroads next year, as the result OF
recommendation made by special
committee of the American railway
association, now in session here. The
evidence secured by the committee
showed that 346.000,000 pounds of
explosives are manufactured annu-
ally in the United States, nearly all
of which is transported by the rail-
roads The numerous accidents
which have happened in the handling
of explosives by railway employees Is
said TO be due to the fact that the
material was not properly packed
and marked. A large amount OF
explosive stuff has been billed as or
binary merchandise. il Is alleged, to
cut down freight expenses, the rate
on explosives being double the rate
on first class freight.
The standing committee OF the as
sociation of "train rules" recommend
ed that the railroads adopt what Is
known as the "hoop" system for
handling orders TO the engineers re-
garding the passing of other trains.
This system is in use on the Erie
and several other roads and obviates
the necessity of stopping trains in
order to deliver orders.

NO CLUE YET
TO the Whereabouts of W. u. Smith
-Government After Him.

Louisville, KY. Oct, 27.--If there
IS clew to the whereabouts of w.
-. Smith, former president of the
Western National bank, under in
dictment in the United States court
on ten counts on the charge of hav-
ing made false entries, misapplied
funds and embezzled $50 600 from
the bank, the news is being carefully
guarded.
IL was suggested at the custom
house today that the Offering of a
reward might result in locating
Smith. TO make this possible the
attorney general of the United States
would have TO authorize II.
Largely does the government offer
a reward. Service officers are pre-
sumed TO bag offenders against the
government and they seldom fail to
run down their prey.

CONTEST BEGINS
UP ABOUT SYURGIS
PinkertOn Men Arrested for En-
tering State Armed.
They Had Been In the County Only a
short Time When Surprise
Was Sprung.
THEY ARE OUT ON BOND NOW

Sturgls, Ky, Oct. 27.-The contest
between the striking miners and the
West Kentucky Coal company took
a surprising turn yesterday when the
twenty Pinkerton detectives who ar
rived the day before to guard the
mines, were arrested on a charge of
entering the state as an armed body.
They were each required to exc
cute a $1,000 bond before they were
released.
owners of the mines have declared
finally for open shop and the union
men have announced their intention
of remaining out unless the union is
recognized. There is no question OF
wages. and thus far the contest has
been peaceable.
It is said that the West Kentucky
company is backed in its fight by a
number of other eastern concerns
which intend to break up the mine
workers organization in Kentucky.
and possibly in other states, and that
they will spare no trouble and ex-
pense to do it. even II government
troops have to be- called on to protect
the lives of the miners employed to
take the places of the union men
who voluntarily quit work. and TO
prevent damage to or destruction of
property.
The miners are very quiet and
peaceable and have made no threats.
There have been few disturbances,
and none of serious nature.
