a colored man who wanted few dollars
without having to perform manual labor
for It during the heated period found 1t an
easy matter yesterday to get 50 from Will
lam II. Dyson, colored. whose wife cares
for boarders at her home, 11s Pierce street
northwest. The stranger who called upon
Dyson told him he was from a~big hotel
and wanted to arrange for the accommoda-
tion Of twenty boarders at IS week each.
Dyson and his wife were delighted at the
prospects of filing their house with guests
and did not hesitate TO tell the stranger
they would be accommodating In the mat
ter.
But" said the stranger, 1.-The boss would
like me to show him some evidence of sim
certify on your part and this you can show
by letting me take a few dollars to ex-
hibit. This Will show him that you are a
responsible man and he will then be salts
fed 10 send you the boarders."
Dyson gave up 50 and sent a friend with
the stranger to the hotel. Dysons repre-
sentative went to the hotel and while he
waited for the stranger the latter had
gone out OF the building through another
exit and disappeared. 1t has been but a
few weeks since neighbor of Dyson was

Complaint was made to the police yester-
day OF a robbery committed in the printing
establishment Of Charles F. Sudwarth, $40
18th street northwest. When the proprie-
tor of the place reached there yesterday
morning he learned that the safe had been
opened and robbed of $50 in cash. a note
for $3.50 and a pawn ticket for gold
watch. The outer door of the safe had
been left open, but the inner compartment
was fastened. The presence of several
burned matches on the floor convinced Mr.
Sudwarth that the safe had been tamper ed
with during the night. Detectives Helan
and McNamee were detailed upon the case.
A number OF papers were taken from the
safe. but they are of no value to the per
son who took them.

Body of Murdered Woman Found.

The body of woman was found yester-
day near the links of the Arlington Golf
Club, near Belmont, Mass. Her throat had
been cut, deep, jagged wound having al
most severed the head from the trunk and
as soon as the police authorities saw the
body they declared that murder had been
committed. The identity of the victim has
not been learned Medical Examiner Swan
held an autopsy last night and also decided
that the woman was murdered
The body was found behind stone wall,
and from the general appearance of the
ground in the vicinity it was judged that
the body had been dragged there some time
last night. The victim was about thirty
years of age.
A dispatch from Braintree, Mass, today
says: The woman murdered at Belmont
whose body was found yesterday, was En-
incline SchidlofSka, the wife of Pole who
was employed in barber shop here. The
police are searching for Schidlofska. He is
believed to be on his way to California. The

Funeral Of John 9. Baker In Virginia
Wednesday.


The remains Of Private John c. Baker Of
Company L. I'd Regiment d. C. N. g.. who
was accidentally drowned while on a prac-
tiee march last Sunday morning about e:30
o'clock in Rock Creek Park, were conveyed
to his late home, in Marshall, Va, Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock Funeral services
were held at the family residence and the
interment made Wednesday at o'clock in
the family burying ground, adjoining his
home.
Young Baker was about twenty-five years
old and came to this city from his home
about a year ago, and at the time of his
death was employed by the firm of w. B.
Moses G. Sons, 18th and F streets. He was
comparatively new member OF the Ma
tional Guard, but always took an active in
terest in the affairs of his company. About
twenty-five members OF the company, un-
der command of First Lieutenant John 8.
Coombs of Company L, INDUCED in prac-
tice march last Sunday and established
camp temporarily in Rock Creek Park. 1t
is thought that while overheated Baker
plunged into the creek and the shock was
too much for him. 1t Is said he never came
to the surface after he struck the water
the first time until his body was recovered
later. A military escort from his company
accompanied the remains from the place
he boarded in this city, 1874 H street south
west, to the railroad station. Messrs.
James Russell and John r. Adams of this
city accompanied the remains to Marshall
Va
In this connection a particularly sad Incl
dent occurred after the remains arrived at
Marshall. His former home was ten miles
overland in the mountains, and the sad
news OF young Bakers death was con-
veyed for the first time to the members Of
his family when his remains were removed
from the undertaker's wagon in the pres
ence of his father. mother, four sisters and
two brothers. Four attempts had been
made, though, by telegraph to notify his
parents, but none Of the kilograms reached
them.
