FOUND DEAD ON TRACKS,
sha Man, Run Down by North
Western Train,

WAUKESHA, Wis, Oct 29.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The mangled body of Arthur
HUMPHREYS, aged 81, 615 Pearl street,
was found early this morning on the
Northwestern track, twenty-five feet
east of the Greenfield avenue crossing.
HUMPHREYS lived within Il block of The
crossing and his body was discovered by
his young son, who notified a neighbor.
His death may have been an accident,
but there are suspicious of foul play.
Coroner Hill and a jury viewed the body
and an inquest will be held Monday
afternoon.
HUMPHREYS was well known and a
man of excellent habits. He leaves a
widow, five children and a brother.
When he did not return from lodge his
wife became apprehensive and sat up all
night waiting for him. Mrs. HUMPHREYS
IS Frustrated by her husbands tragic
death.
The theory that HUMPHREYS was the
victim OF thugs, being murdered and his
body thrown on the tracks to conceal the
crime, has been strengthened by the find
ing Of the dead mans hat with the crown
crushed in, hidden under the sidewalk
near the crossing. An examination of
the body at the undertakers showed the
eye to be badly discOlOred and there were
wounds on the top of the head. Neither
the discolOred eye or head wounds, it is
thought, could have been caused by the
train, from the position IN which the
body was found.

RUSS FEARS TO RETURN.
John Schmidt Served Five Prison SEN
fences IN Native Land-Enters
University of Wisconsin.

MADISON, Wis, Oct 29.-[Special.
Fearing to return to his native land.
where he had the experience of five
terms IN jail in rapid succession, John
Schmidt, a young Russian from Riga,
has announced his intention of becoming
a citizen of this country, and that he
may be better qualified to make a living
IN this country he has entered the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, where he will take
a course in economics and allied sub
jects.
Schmidt came to this country as cor
respondent of a Riga newspaper at the
st Louis exposition four years ago,
and he made up his mind it offered a
good opportunity to remain away from
the scene of his troubles. Since that
time he has led a precautions existence,
working at everything from sewer Dig
ing 10 salesman IN Chicago publish
ing house.
In Madison he has been taken I'D by
Dr Charles Mccarthy, legislative statis-
uclan and a well known football coach.
and he will try to work his way through
school,
Although not a revolutionist himself,
Schmldts troubles were caused. largely
because he associated with students who
were alleged to be working against the
government. 1t was with the utmost
eagerness, therefore, that after his five
jail experiences, in one case being i'm
prisoned five months in a death cell"
that he seized the opportunity to come to
America.
Schmidt declares that in considering
conditions in Russia, the American peo-
pie overlook the serious, high-minded and
high-purposed majority, who are working
only for constructive progress" and not
in line with the anarchy of Tolst0i.''

in a dream. He could eat but little. His
lips finally refused to form the words of
speech and his jaws failed to masticate.

was forced to lie in a bed. After some
hours of this attack, his temperature,
which had remained normal, increased,
and when he died was at 104 degrees.
