A Cold Blooded Murder
Committed at Bowman
Youg Lneman Murdered With Blunt Instrument and
Then Laid on Track That Train De-
capitated Him.

the car door and on the ground to
where the body was found and on
the track there was a big pool of
blood which shows that Paust was
still alive when he was carried to
the track.
The inquest brought out in DR.. G..
A. Bakers testimony that the man
had been struck over the head with
some blunt instrument several times
and had been stabbed in the throat
twice one of which completely sever
ed the left juglar vein after he had
been laid over the track. The left eye
was very badly blackened which was
probably the first blow struck. There
were no other marks On the body the
only theory advanced by the officials
is that Paust was enticed down into
the yards and into the car on some
preteXt or other for the purpose of
robbery and there struck over in the
head with the butt of a gun and after
searching him and taking what he
had the men realized the enormity
Of their crime and the penalty they
would have to pay if they were ever
caught and identified, they determin-
ed to put Paust out of the way so
that he could never do them any
harm. They then proceeded to destroy
the papers and letters in the pocket
of the doomed man and carried hin
across to the passing track where
they severed the juglar vein and Gu
the throat. From all appearances they
man over the rail until he was eithe
dead or too weak to move and then
left him to be run over by the mex
passing train to make it appear tha
the man had lain down On the track
to sleep and had been killed.
The prints OF blood stained hands
found on the ties on the north side Of
the car in which the first blows were
struck shows that two men laid down
there and watched the train run over
the body.
The severed head was found close
to the body and railroad men say it
must have been done by being struck
by train backing up or that the
body was placed between the cars of
the train switching in the yards, as
when a mans head is cut of by an
engine it is usually caught by the COW
catcher and rolled considerable dis:
tance from the trunk. It is very like
ly that the train that finished the
deed was the train that carried his
friends west.

appears to be Of the finest Of steel
The blade is about two inches wide
tapers to a poiRt and is sharp on
both sides. Just above the shank
are two deep hicks cut into the
blade, where evidently strings were
placed to hold the head to handle
In the side of the blade Is stamp

Bowman, July 2S.-Herman Pause,
26 years old, of Whitewater, Wis, was
the victim of the most cold-blooded
murder ever committed in Bowman
county. The deed was perpetrated
in the east end of the Milwaukee rail
road yards sometime between $3.50
Thursday evening and 4:30 Friday
morning.
Mr.. Paust was a member of Mil
waukee linesmen crew of, twenty-four
men which came into Bowman last
Thursday evening on the passenger
and stopped for lunch, the passenger
pulled aut and left the crew behind.
They were ordered to take the west
bound freight to their station, and
they spent the meantime in looking
over Bowman.
The body was found on the track
Just opposite the stock yards by the
engineer of an east bound stock train.
at 4:30 Friday morning, tie stock
train was stopped before the engine
reached the body, and the engineer
notified Station Agent Corbett who a
once called Coroner Oliver to the
scene. When the body was first found
the trunk was lying outside and the
head completely severed inside the
rails, Mr.. Corbett moved the body
and head about thre feet from tn
track so it would not be struck by
passing trains and it was there tina
Coroner Oliver first saw the remains
The coroner's jury assembled at
once and commenced their investi
cations; the case at first appeared t,
be nothing more serious than an acci
dent or a suicide until one of the
men found blood dripping from a car
standing at the industrial track
5out fifty feet north of where the
body was found, inside of the car wa
great pool of blood and when
became apparent that an aWTul mur
der had been committed the corone
called Sheriff Page who Immediately
responded and took charge of the in
vestigations. He found a handker
chief completely saturated with bloot
with letter embroidered in a cor
ner and several pieces of newspa-
per that had been used to wipe the
blood from the hands of the men tha
committed the murder. He found
that considerable blood had been
split in the car. but there was no
signs of a struggle, which is pretty
good evidence that the murdered man
did not have much show for his life.
