BUCKET OF BLOOD,
BUT NO CORPSE THERE
Police of Butte Have a Murder to
Fathom or Are Butt of
Grewsome Joke.
Special to The Journal.


Butte, Mont, Aug. 11.-Either the
murder or some practical Joker has at
tempted to perpetrate decidedly grew
some hoax. All the elements of a
bloody tragedy of impenetrable mystery
have been presented in find which
has been made in an old abandoned
church at Montana and Broadway. The
only thing lacking is the corpse.
The discovery was made by Frank
Harvey, who is employed in a livery
stable across the alley from the build
ing. One side of the church had been
torn down, and thru this opening Har.
vey discovered that the interior was
literally soaked in blood until it re-
sembled a shambles. On the floor,
scattered in great disarray, were vari-
Gus portions of a woman 8 garment.
while nearby lay a bloodstained hat
chet, seemingly the implement with
which the murder was done.
Sticking to the blade of the Ratchet
were several tufts of hair of an auburn
tlnge. A stream Of blood ran along
the middle Of the floor for a distance
OF nearly seven feet. Among the al,
t1cles of apparel found were a woman IS
boot, stocking, an undervest, a shirt
waist, black silk skirt and a black
velvet hat with a black plume.
The crown of the hat was cut thru
as if by a blow from a sharp edged
weapon, and near it lay the hatchet
about the handle of which was wounf
several strands of wire A mans white
shirt, badly spattered with blood, also
was found. Upon this garment was
the laundry mark "L3 1877 of a loca
laundry.
Harvey at once summoned the police
and an investigation was begun. The
blood on the floor was analyzed by Dr.
Louis Bornheim, who pronounced it hu
man blood. He also stated that tn,
hair found on the hatchet was that of {
woman, and apparently had been tori
from the scalp when the hammer wa
withdrawn from the skull.
All sorts of theories are advance,
The skeptical ones insist that som
Iumorist has been attempting to hoa,
