THE JAMES HILL STORY.
Further Developments Throw Little
Light on the Case.

@'Sus vi eiS SooSs
Burlington, June Ito the present
time the mystery surrounding the dis
appearance and death of James-Hill, a
former Burlingtonian, whose remains
were found in the river at ,Muscatine,
has not been cleared up. No one has
been found who is able to throw light
upon the subject. There are all man
ner of theories, some of them which
may or may not be we'll founded. Yes
terday's Muscatine Journal had the fol
lowing details:
Rock Island county officials have
taken up the investigation of the
murder theory, which is firmly believed
by j. G. Hill. brother of the drowned
man picked up here short time ago,
to be the right one.s So far, however,
no developments Of any startling ma
ture have been disclosed further than
the fact that the pension papers which
were executed at Eldon, a week after
the disappearance Of the man from Mo-
line, Dear what is evidently the genu-
inc signature of the dead man.
This was ascertained by Sheriff
Heider of Rock Island county, who
visited the pension office in Chicago
and examined the voucher, which was
made out at that time, and he brings
back the report that the signature is
genuine and that the money was later
paid to the man at the First National
bank at Eldon.
"This would tend to prove that the
man left his home in Moline of his
own accord, but the fact that he would
go to Eldon to draw his pension and
then return to the river and be
drowned, either accidentally or by sui
eide, seems peculiar in the extreme.
"This morning man by the name of
E. N Jones called at the journal
dead mans brother, wishing to give
him some information in regard to
the evacuation of the pension papers at
Eldon. He states that he saw the man
at the time the voucher was executed,
and remembered the name on the
voucher. He describes the man he
saw, and the description tallies very
we'll with that of the man picked up
here. This further corroborates the
theory that the man left Moline of his
own accord, and up to that time, at
least, had not been foully dealt with.
"a more reasonable explanation is
that the man was known to have the
money which he drew from the govern
ment, and may have been followed
when he left Eldon and robbed. In
the attack he may have been killed, or
the assailants may have been recog-
nized by him. and in order to shield
themselves he might have been tied
and thrown in the river. The fact that
one of his arms was missing when the
body was found is generally believed

Break in Prices Last Week Stops
Heavy Country Consianrner1ts.


Chicago, June 1--Trade from the
sharp break in prices shows only un-
even values and the general movement
of the weeks receipts is nearly on
level of the decline of a week ago.
A few large special orders executed
by ice and express companies toned
the clearance of 1.400 and 1900 lb.
classes, but with the nominal filling of
these urgent orders these offerings
displayed weakness and practically re-
acted to the ruling prices Of week
ago. All indications point to the spring
demand being over. with the forecast
Of a narrower inquiry for all com
mercial classes for the immediate flu
ture movement of the trade. There
have been unevenly higher spots in
the weeks market for eastern chunks
and expressers. but with special or
ders executed reaction followed, with
the bulk of the receipts clearing at
the late decline at the following
prices:
