COAL DEALERS BUSY
Report They Are Doing a
Rushing Trade for This
Season.

The coal dealers all report that they
are doing a remarkable business for
this time of the year. The continued
cold weather has resulted in the laying
in OF the winter supply of coal earlier
than usual, and unless the cold weather
gives way to a prolonged Indian sum
mer there viii be a larger amount OF
coal used this year for heating pur-
poses than ever before.
In fact. the coal man is about as
gleeful at the prospect as the ice man
was last summer. when the summer
actually set in. and there Is every
promise Of a bitter cold winter Last
year the coal man had a tough time Of

was little coal burned. but it is expect
ed that he will more than make up for
the loss this year.

East Chicago. Oct 16.-Kneeling on
his knees in a ticket short distance
out of this city, with willow branch
twisted about his throat the dead body
of a man was accidentally discovered
shortly after noon today, tied to a
sapling.
All the evidences point to murder
thought if murder was committed. it
was evidently not for proposes of rob
berry. as $3.47 was found in the pockets
of the dead mans clothing. There was
nothing among the effects which might
serve as a clew to the victims identity
The body was badly decomposed, evi-
IDENTIFY having been there for three
months or more. 1t was clothed in
good suit Of black broad cloth. which
exposure to the elements had robbed
considerably of its color. and his IN
derclothes corresponded in quality wi.h
that of his outer garments.
WAS FOUND IN HAMMOND.
The ghastlys saad. was made iIi- Hanl-
mond, a half mile south of the river
news of the discovery was first carried
to East Chicago. A Polish man, whose
name has not been learned was the
discoverer, and frightened half out of
his senses he carried word of what he
had seen to a saloonkeeper in East
Chicago. who in turn notified Under
taker John Huber. Through Mr.. Huber
the East Chicago police were notified
The man who first saw the body
was waiting for his wife near the
Gibson yards. at a point about half
a mile south of the river in Forysth
avenue While there he stepped aside
from the roadway, into the underbrush
which skirts the road. About ten feet
back of the road, his attention was at
tracted to the corpse, and without
waiting to make an investigation, he
set of post haste to the saloon to tell
of his discovery.
SURE 1T WAS A MURDER.
When Mr.. Huber and the police ar
rived on the spot indicated by the sa-
loonkeeper in his telephone message,
they son found the Polish man who
.-Aad discovered the body and he led
them to the scene of the discovery
Mr.. Huber and the police are Arm in
the conviction that the case is not one
OF suicide. The former. in speaking of
the circumstance this afternoon. said:
TT would have been impossible for the
man to have committed suicide in the
manner and position in which he was
found. He was hung low in a little
willow sapling and the twig that was
twisted about his neck could not have
caused stran ngulation. 1 am of the opin-
ion that he was murdered and dragged
to the thicket and an attempt made by
his murderers to give the appearance
of his having hanged himself to the
tree. Their work was most clumsy,
however. The body was resting full
weight upon the ground.
The coroner has been notified.
