SHOT IN THE BACK
Herbert Jordan ASsassinated ON
the Street at Seneca.
Murderer Drops Out of Sight
Leaving No Clue.
PEOPLE MYSTIFIED.
MYSTIFIED.
Young Man Not Known to Have
an Enemy.
Formerly Lived i'm Topeka-Ex-
ecutive Clerk to Gov. Bailey.

Seneca, Kan, Feb. 15.-Herbert
Jordan, formerly executive clerk in
the office of Governor w. j. Bailey,
was shot and killed about 1880 Fri
day evening on the main street OF
Seneca by an unknown assassin. The
murderer fired one shot from 81
ealiber revolver at close range. the
ball striking Jordan in the back OF
the head at the base of the skull, sew
erfng the spinal cord. Jordan died
instantly.
The murder was seen by no one, as
the street was almost deserted at the
time. Ira T. Bell, who was in a store
across the street, heard the shot, and
thought 1t was a frecracker. He
stepped out into the street just in time
to see a man running around the cor
ner of the block. He is unable to
give any description of the man.
The only clue to the identity of the
murderer is that on Friday afternoon
man went to the Williams Hard
ware company and bought a 32-cali-
Der revolver. The man was about %
or % years of age. and the same
young man inquired of several peo-
pie during the day where Jordan liv-
ed. The officers have a good descrip-
ton of this man, and are trying to
locate him.
1t was not known that Jordan had
young man of good habits, and Of
friendly and genial disposition. He
was SO years of age, and has been
well known in political life. When
w. J. Bailey was congressman at
large Jordan served as his private Sec
rotary. and became a member of Gov
ernor Bailey's office force when J. S.
West resigned the Office of pardon
clerk to enter the practice OF law.
He was in Governor Baileys office for
about a year
During the last session of the legiS-
lature he was clerk for Senator Geo.
Hayden. He WAS g. brother of W. H.
Jordan, the editor of the Seneca Trfb-
une. The body will be taken to the
family home in Illinois for burial. He
was not married.
The Nemaha county officers seem to
be of the opinion that the man who
murdered Herbert Jordan may have
come from Topeka.
The sheriff, in communication with
Topeka parties this morning, asked that
Jordan's life in Topeka be carefully
traced in order to Jick up, If possible.
some clue which might indicate mo-
tive on the part of some one to commit
the crime.
1t appears that when Jordan first
came to Topeka as clerk for Governor
Bailey. he boarded with the family of
Hallock Hill, one Of the Topeka city
sanitary officers, who at that time lived
on Tyler street. After staying with
this family for some time, he moved to
APT Tyler where he took rooms with
Mrs. George Anthony. DR.. W. c. Nc
Donough, who was also roomtng with
the Hills, moved about a week later to
the Anthonys, and is still living there.
DR. McDonough was probably more
intimately associated with Jordan than
any one else in Topeka. He said to-
