Dastardly Crime Committed
Near st. Cloud.
THEY ROB A DEAD MAN.
He Was in That Section Of the County
Trying to Locate His
Brother.

St Cloud, July l9-The body of the
well-dressed man, which was found last
Monday near the edge of the Sank river,
about half a mile west of Waite Park.
a small village, located two miles from
here, has been positively identified as
being that of Joseph Lunkanitseh of
New York city.
While the idea of foul play has been
set aside by the examining physicians,
who state that there were no signs of
violence about his body, and who posi-
lively assert that the man died from
tuberculosis in the most advanced state.
there is not any doubt that the body of
the man was robbed.
Lukanitsch is believed to have been
wealthy. He first came to the city
July 3, and registered at the Grand Cen
trail hotel here. He asked the clerk if
he knew anybody by the name of LUX
anitsch in this part of the country.
He said that he was looking for his
brother, who had lived here some years
ago, and who he had heard was poor.
He said that he had enough money that
he was about to die, and before death
he wanted to find his brother and give
him some money. He discovered that his
brother had moved to Sisseton, S. D..
and July 4 he left for Sisseton While
here, he spent his money freely, and he
laughed about his consumption, which
he said would soon finish him.
Lukanitsch returned to st. Cloud last
Sunday, and at that time he told the
manager of the Grand Central hotel here
that he had found his brother Sunday
his condition was SO bad that it was
feared that he might die at any time.
Monday morning he left on the street
car for Waite Park, and the conductor
on the car states that he heard him rat
Ting money in his pocket. When found
Monday evening there was no money on
cents. By his side. was found small
safety pin slightly bent.
Before the post-mortem, the police
theory was that the man had met with
foul play or had committed suicide. The
report of the coroner stated, however.
that Luckanitsch had died of tubercu-
losis, and that there were no signs of
violence to be traced about the body
of the dead man. 1t is, however, pos
sible that the slightest act of violence
might have ended the life of the man.
who was in such reduced condition as
he
The mere holding of hand over his
mouth and nostrils to prevent him from
crying would have been enough to kill
him. Whether or not the man was MUIR
dered, the robbery theory is almost posi-
tive
Lukanitsch was last seen by cook
in one of the movable cars of the Min
nesota Central Telephone company,
which is near Waite Park. Lukanitsch
asked the cook where the river was. On
being told, he walked towards the river.
The body was lying on its back when
found, and the man had spread a paper
on the ground to sit on. The brother
of the dead man has been sent for and
he is expected to arrive in the city to-
day.

From Thursdays Daily.
Probably no grating enterprise was
ever so promptly squelched by public
scorn as was the mileage grab bill pass

March /, 1905, and ignominiusly waste

For the benefit of the short minded
we recall the incident.

The next month an attempt was made
to raid the national treasury by an APP

gressional election and in the final days
of that congress- bill was passed ap-
propriating $4,000 to be divided among
the members of congress in proportion
to the distance they resided from Wash
ington.
Out of 27S members ninety voted for
the measure, eighty voted against it,
and the rest shirked or were absent.
1t was as bald an attepmt to loot
the treasury as can well be imagined.
A Chicago member, for example, would
have received $3.50 for the expenses of q
trip that he did not make and by no
possibility could have made.
To the disgrace of Chicago, three men
are now in congress who voted for this
infamy, and all three are asking for re-
nominations.
The men who thus sought to line their
own pockets are:

Sensational Runaway Oc-
cured on Front Street.
PEOPLE WERE IN DANGER.

From Saturdays Daily.

from Saturdays Daily.
A sensational runaway occurred at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon on
Front street, that filled the spectators
with horror. The team attached to j.
NJ. Karmany's wagon was tied at the
Omaha stock yards, at the foot of Popu-
lar street, and became frightened from
some unknown cause, although they are
not afraid of the cars. They dashed up
Poplar street and down Front at ter
rife speed.
In front of A. j. Busch & Sons store,
Mrs. A. Newman was driving with her
horse and buggy, going north, and in
the buggy with her were Mrs. James
Mann and her two children and young
son of G. W. Jessup. The runaway
team made directly for this buggy, tax
ing it from behind and giving the occu
pants no chance to escape. One horse
went on each side of the buggy, and the
pole struck the seat and threw it for
ward, throwing all five out upon the
horse, which was thrown down cross
wise on the sidewalk by the force of the
collision.
People rushed out and caught the
Karmany horses and got the two rigs
eXtricated One of the Karmany horses
was standing on the PROSTATE Newman
horse. Fortunately the five occupants
of the buggy all escaped with slight
bruises and scratches. This was marvel
Gus, considering the manner in which
the collision took place.
The Newman buggy was badly dam
aged, the upper part being wrecked. The
horse was badly bruised. The Kar-
many wagon sustained some damage,
but the horses were unhurt.
Another bad runaway took place yes
terday afternoon, that was equally for
Iunale Ill ChaC Ho one was seriously III
jured, when the chances for injury were
great. W. L. Bradshaw and Frank Elan
nagan were driving on the Indian Lake
road, between two and three o'clock,
with Scherer & Dackins' team and
buggy, when the horses became fright
ened by COW that came running down
a hill toward them. The horse dashed
over fifty foot embankment near the
river, and the buggy went clear over the
horses. Both men were thrown out
and sustained slight scratches and
bruises. The buggy was wrecked, but
the horses escaped unhurt.

OFFICE SEEKER.

1ohn M. Thompson, the nominee
tor auditor, was delegate to the dem
cratic county convention that nomina-
,sd s K. II. MCGOWAN for auditor four
rears ago. Mr.. Thompson bolted the
1 1ortv and helped to defeat Mr.. Nc
GTowan, yet a more competent man
han Mr.. MCGOWAN was never placed
IN ticket in Latah county. Mr..
Tbompson this year went before the
-eUular republican county convention
and in fair, honorable, open contest
was defeated by just few votes. Now
he bolts and few weeks later is nom
mated by the fusionists on an indepen-
dent ticket. Were he the best man
in the county he is deserving of the
defeat he will suffer this fall. Person
allv we like John Thompson, and adj
mire his many excellent qualities, but
politically think he has shown poor
Judgment and a lack of good sense.
His action is decidedly babyish and
extremity Objectionable. He cannot
honorable accept nomination for
auditor at the hands Of another conven-
lion. But having done so he shows
himself to be a man without political
nrpciples whose only motive for enter
ng politics is to get into public Office.
John M. Thompson is not democrat;
he is not a republican, but plain,
common Office seeker, who has betray-
ed both parties, sacrificed principle,
and abandoned his friends for OFFICE.
