BOY FOUND DEAD IN
MARSH AT WHEATFIELD.
Body of Walter Wiseman, jr., Discover
ed-GunshOt Wound Tells Story of
What Caused His Death, But Wheth-
er by Accident or Design Is Not
known.
Especial to Lake County Times.)


Rensselaer,, Ind, May Lying in
marsh, out Of the beaten path Of travel,
the body of Walter Wiseman, jr, a
14-year-old boy, was found yesterday
morning in Wheatfield township. A
gaping gunshot wound in the body
plainly showed the cause of the death
of the boy, but how he came to be
at the lonely place or how he received
the wound, is at present mystery and
is being investigated by the authori-
ties of the county.
Several theories were advanced as TO
the manner in which he met his death,
but the most plausible was that he
aceidently shot himself while hunt
ing. The more radical of the neigh
bors were of the opinion that death
might have come in some suspicious
manner and through violence, but
nothing was found TO substantiate this
rumor. The body was brought to a
nearby house, where an inquest VIII be
held today.

FINDS COMFORT
IN POLICE STATION.
Hungarian Woman, Bundled off Mich
fsan Central Train Last Midnight, is
Cared For by Kindly Police Officer
Consigned to Standard Steel Car Conn
pany.

Worn out, forlorn, and tear stained,
a stranger in a strange land. Hun
garian woman was literally bundled off
an immigrant train in the cold and dark
of last night, shortly before midnight
at Hammond. But for the kind hearted
she would have suffered Sc
verely of exposure. The woman was
about So years of age, rather comely,
and unable to speak or understand a
single word of the English language.
She had a small rag of paper in her
hand, with the words, STANDARD Steel
Car Works." and that was the only bill
of landing or Identification she had in
her possession. Tired from her long
ride from some seaport city. hungry,
and weighted down like a truck horse
with bundles and bags, she was indeed
pitiable object as she stood on the
platform, not knowing which way to
turn to seek comfort.
When she saw the policeman ap-
preaching, with the instincts of the old
country still strong within her, for
the sight of a uniform means insult and
injury to the poor serf, she started to
cringe and stink away in the dark.
When he went to her and tried to ques-
ton her he found that she could not
speak or understand the language. and
with the stolidness of her race, she
meekly followed when he bid her walk
with him to the station house. The
warmth of the room and the comfort
which she received from good warm
supper, given her by the police. she
soon forgot her troubles in sleep. and
dozed peacefully away in a chair. In
the morning she was taken TO the
camps outside the walls OF the car
works and placed in the hands of her
countrymen. who helped her to find haT
spouse

WAS FALSE ALARM.

A rumor was circulated about town
this morning to the effect that a seri-
Gus wreck had occurred on the c., G. &
L a few miles south of this city. Upon
investigation it was found that the
facts had been greatly exaggerated and
that the trouble was nothing more seri-
Gus than the Slight injuries done to a
caboose which was bumped too hard by
an engine. 1t merely scratched the
naint off.

Today's Dealings Were on a
Limited Scale.
AN IRREGULAR OPENING
Advance Begun in Forenoon, Con-
tinued to Close.
FEW BROKERS WERE PRESENT
Many Of for Tomorrow's Holiday
Traders Disinclined to Garry Over
Operations to Monday.
FEW BROKERS WERE PRESENT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Dullness was the
only characteristic Of a market that by II
o clock showed sales only slightly in ex-
cess Of 100000 shares. With holiday COM
Ing tomorrow and general Discrimination
among traders to carry operations over to
Monday, operations were mainly confined
to buying for strong houses and investment
purchases.
After an irregular opening the list stead
led with fractional gains over yesterdays
closing, and the absence Of bear attacks
caused a general hardening Of prices.
At midday in dull trading. advances in the
principal securities ranged between one and
two points. The advance begun in the
morning continued throughout the after
noon. No news except the probability Of
the western railroad strike being settled
through arbitration came to influence the
market one way another.
The floor of the exchange was almost de-
serted because Of the number of brokers
who have left town for the holidays. An
indication of the small amount of business
done in the first hour was furnished by the
fact that there were no quotations of Balti-
more and Ohio, Louisville and Nashville,
American Locomotive or Interborough-
Metropolitan stocks.
In the afternoon, on larger transactions
stocks declined from their highest prices.
but lost only a small fraction OF their
gains. Later there was a reaction that
again carried prices upward.
The gains in many cases, particularly Ca
madam Pacific, st. Paul and Union Pacific.
were very substantial. Canadian Pacific led
the advance, regaining all it had lost in
the breaks Of the past two weeks.
The prospects of an excellent bank state
ment tomorrow contributed to the general
feeling of optimism. Before noon today 1t
was reported that the banks had gained
s.. $50 900 from the subtrea sury, of which
something over 100000 was on account
of customs receipts.
In the late trading Canadian Pacific shot
up in very spectacular manner, touching
100 before 2:30 O clock The money market
was easier under diminished demand for
call loans and an increase in the available
supply. The ruling rate was per cent.
