wife to meeting of the Eastern Star, or which she was member, with the understanding that she and the chiI.
 dren were to spend the night with
 Mrs. w. A. McGavock, who lives in
 Tombstone Canyon, just back of Biddy
 Doyle's lodging house.
 Rodman remained in the city until about o'clock. when he took a street car to Briggs junction, where the high line leaves the main line, intend ing to walk from there to Don Luis.
 Etis body was found about 15O feet from the junction the next morning. On the right hand side Of the track,
 going toward Don Luis, is an em- bankment about three feet above the track, and from this rises the slope of the hill. On this side 1t would have
 been hard to hide. On the left or lower side of the track, on the con. trary, the embankment breaks a sheer three or four feet, with busSes near. Behind this it would have been easy
 to have hidden, and 1t was here that the body was found. Blood on and near the track showed that Rodnan had been attacked in the middle of the track and his body afterward thrown aside. ...-., ..-
 Owing to the nature of the ground, which is hard and rocky. it would have been very difficult to have found traces of struggle. if there had been one. So far as can be learned, there is nothing to indicate that there was more than one man connected with the murder.
 Immediately after the finding of the remains Judge Grief of Lowell was notified, a jury empaneled and the re- mains viewed. after which the body was taken in charge by the under takers. An inquest will be held this afternoon at o'clock in Judge Grier's office. s-.-r
 The appearance of the body indi- cate that 1t had been robbed. Four dollars which the deceased was said to have had was gone, together with his watch, gold one. Q Masonic em- blem and an Elk's pin. Papers taken from the pockets of the deceased were arranged on his body 4 gold ring was also missing from his finger.
 When one considers that the mur- der took place as early as g o'clock in the evening, that the street car passed within 150 feet of the place where the crime was committed, and that there was waiting station as close, where a light must have been burning, 1t will be seen that the crime was remarkably bold one. Why this spot, instead of one further on and more secluded was not chosen, is not known.
 Mrs. Rodman was at the home of Mrs. McGavock when informed of the death of her husband. While she was almost overcome at first, she regained her composure and all through the dav h0re up bravely under the terrible srdeSL

 As is indicated by the high position held by the deceased in the leading fraternal orders of the United States, ' he was a man who was well known | wherever he has lived. and one who enjoyed the respect, love and esteem | of his fellow men. While he had been l in this city comparatively a short time. he had many friends here, and | there is not one of them who does not | speak of him in the highest terms
