HILL MUREER CASE
Brother Of Moline Citizen Whose Body
Was Taken From the River at Mus.

Against Persons Whose Names He is
Withholding From the Public.

Muscatine, May 30.-An investiga-
ton is now being made in an effort
to discover and locate the murderers
of James Hill, whose body was found
in the river at this place few days
ago. 1t is now believed that money
was the motive for the crime.
The circumstances surrounding his
disappearance are made the more
mysterious thru the fact that he
was suffering with typhoid pneumonia
when last seen at his home, and his
attending physician states that he was
unable to leave his bed. 1t was
during the night of April 8, that he left
his home and nothing more was heard
Of him until the remains were found
in the river at Muscatine. His brother
from Burlington has been suspicious in
regard to the case, and has been max
ing a quiet investigation. He learned
that his pension had been drawn, and
on comforting with the pension de-
partment in Chicago, he learned that
the vouchers had been acknowledged
before a notary public in Ildon, April
8, six days after he disappeared from
Moline. 1t hardly seems possible
that he should go to Eldon, i'll as he
was, get his pension papers acknowl-
edged, and then return to this vicinity
and meet with foul play or drown ac-
cidentally.
When the body was found the right
arm was missing below the elbow. The
sleeves of both his coat and shirts
were also torn off at the elbow The
body was so badly decomposed that it
was impossible to ascertain whether
the arm had been torn off or cut Off
The theory is advanced that when the
body was thrown into the river, a
weight was tied onto this arm and that
the arm was pulled off by the continu-
GUS Juggling at the weight after the
body became decomposed. This arm
was also tatooed, and it is probable
that the member was severed to con-
ceal Identification. The brother Of the
murdered man has a strong suspicion
against certain persons, altho he will
not make their names public.
Hill moved to Moline, ILL.,, from Bur-
lington early in the spring, accom-
panied by his wife. and resided there
until his disappearance, on April 8.

Perry. May 3O.-About Perry politi-
cally it may be said that Cummins
stands the best show. The caucuses
for the First and Second wards have
been called for Friday, June l.. 1t can
safely be said that Cummins delegates
will be nominated. The Third ward
will undoubtedly go for Perkins, which
will mean fourteen for Cummins and
five for Perkins. The latter, together
with four for the township, will make
nine to fourteen in the governors ia
vor. AS near as can be ascertained
now, Dallas county can be safely
claimed for Cummins, altho the cor
porations are doing some hard work
for their candidate. Dallas county
went solid for Cummins in 1901, and
in all likelihood will do 1t this year.

Waterloo, May 30.--An effort is now

of the city to build an electric line
from Waterloo 10 Des Moines, passing

shaltown. M. b. Locke is in Cedar
Rapids today on business connected
with this movement, and has recently
returned from trip to Kansas City,
| where he was successful in interest
ing well known company In the

Mr.. Locke told representative Of
sas City last week it was with the in
tention OF putting a proposition before
| this company for three electric roads
| to radiate in different directions from
| Waterloo. He was In hopes OF get
| ting their support in building one line
to Cedar Rapids, one to Mason City
and the other to Des Moines. The
company went over the proposal with
him. but thought two of the lines
would not pay we'll enough to warrant
the investment Of So much capial.
but are, however, heartily IN favor of
the proposed line to the capital city.
The bonding company figures that
there must be a population of between
1000 and 1900 people to the mile to
make an electric line pay, because
nearly the entire income must origin
ate from passenger traffic. Attic
Mr. Locke understood that the present
Waterloo interurban and city lines
did not average anywhere near that
amount he was in the hopes OF get
ting the company to buy all the lines
and install the system to Cedar Rap
ids and Mason City because of the
great prospects Of the future growth.
In talking over the matter, Mr.. Locke
said: IF l had been successful in
getting all three lines we would never
need to worry any about the growth
of Waterloo because these roads would
build the city for us, just the way the
interurbans are doing for Des Moines."
However, the road that is now being
worked on will be great addition and
will mean a wonderful thing for the
city.
Course Of tho Line.
The course most under considera-
ton at the present time is to pass
thru Traer and Tama and If Marshall-
town makes concessions enough to in
clude that city, even tho it is a little
out of the direct route. Two bridges
will be built across the Cedar for the
road--one below the city and the other
above, and the line will come in from
the southwesterly part of the town.
