MYSTERY
SURROUNDS MURDER OF BODY
FOUND UNDER TRESTLE.
Murphysboro Has Sensation i'm Dis
cOvery of Dead Man With
Stab Wound.

Murphysboro. H., Dec. face
downward in the shallow stream of
water under the first Iron Mountain
trestle south of Murphysboro depot
the body of stranger was found
early Sunday morning. A stab
wound on the left side of his throat
shows where the life ebbed out, but
there is no sign of blood near the
place.
The body was found by two young
men employed on the Iron Mountain,
as they were starting out for a days
hunting. The proper officials were
notified and a careful search OF the
neighborhood was made, but there is
no clue to the murderer.
The murdered man is FIVE feet tall,
weighs about 1875, is about 80 years
old. fair o. complexion. dark brown
hair. long sandy moustache which is
almost red. and bears no distinctive
marks. lie wore an old coat, old
brown cap. old blue shirt and a pair
of new blue hip overalls. In his
pockets were a pair Of knit gloves,
a red and blue handkerchief, a few
strips OF cardboard and a half pint
bottle with a small quantity of whis-
key in g. An old leather belt was
around him. There was no other
article In his pocket.
Richard Seiber, a Fordyce hotel
and saloon man came to Murphys-
boro at noon Monday and identified
the body as that OF man who had
been working as porter for him. The
dead man had told his employer to
call him "Shortie," as that was all
the name necessary for him.

"For a moment did not under
stand, and then 1t suddenly flashed
upon me that in the country towns
the furniture dealer is generally the
local undertaken, and an other ques-
ton or two brought out the fact that
this was the case with my friend.
There had been an epidemic OF some
disease or another in the village, ard
deaths were more numerous than
common, so that bushes was good,
and my acquaintance needing few
more collins and funeral trappings,
had taken a run into town to look
over the goods in his line and make
selections for the new styles.
My customers are not hard to
please" he said. Did you ever hear

you one. When anybody comes in
and makes disparaging remark in

we always tell him that nobody who
uses our goods was ever known to

OF course / congratulated my
friend on the way business was with
him. but when | thought what good
business for him meant for other
people, I'm afraid my congratula-
lions had no great ring of sincerity
but on the other hand, when peo.
pie die they must be buried. and the
undertakers and grave diggers and
tombstone makers have as good a
right as anybody to make money
out of other peoples misfortunes.

Bishop Potter in the course OF his re-

so long and wearisome that they

was my travelling companion on my
trip to Japan, and I climbed ever so
many steps TO see the temple at
Yokohama. When we returned to

II called a servant and ordered a
Manhattan cocktail. Now. you know.

by a Manhattan cocktail but I was
quite sure he would bring me some
thing and say Il was Manhattan.

The words of praise bestowed ON the
