SOUTH SIDE MYSTERY
Unknown Man Killed With
a Coupling Pin Found
in a Box Car.

South Chicago and the Grand Cross
ing police are up against a murder
mystery which may have it's origin
beyond the limits of Chicago.
An unknown man with no clew to
identification was found in an Illinois
Central box car al Ninetieth street. He
had evidently been slain with an iron
bar and then robbed.
Nothing TO Identify Him.
Every scrap of paper or other marks
which would tend to give the police
a clew to the identity of the victim had
been carefully removed. The condition
of the body indicated that the man had
been dead for some time
1T may have been that the victim
was killed outside of Chicago and his
body shipped here" said Capt Nc
Weeney, who is conducting the investi-
cation. He may have been murdered
by tramps and then robbed"
The victim was about 35 years old

West Pullman beat South Chicago to

work for $4,000. or at $4,000 per
mile, there being about two miles to
be paved.

much pressure to bear upon the mem

This can be done where the board OF
public improvements is convinced thai
