The adjourned inquest touching the
death Of the unidentified man, who was
found murdered on the Northern Pa
cific right of way, short distance east
of Glyndon in the early morning OF
Tuesday, Sept. 81, was held at the city
hall this morning. before Coroner Vim
cent and jury consisting of Messrs
Is. l.. Pinkeny, G. @. Shapleigh, o. c.
Beck, John Erickson. d. w. Meeker and
S. o. Tang and County Attorney
Johnson was prelent.
The killing Of the man is still as
much of a mystery as ever and the
authorities are no nearer any clues
which are likely to lead to the identity
OF the man or men who committed the
crime than they were the moment IL
was discovered, nor has any informa
ton been obtained, 90 far, in the mat
ter Of identifying the man who was
found dead.
DIR. Humphrey gave the jury the
facts as to the nature Of the three
bullet wounds which were found on
the dead mans body when the clothes
were taken off, TO prepare the corpse
for interment. The witness was
reasonably sure that the man was
dead before the injuries by the car
wheels. on the left arm, just above
the wrist, was a mark which had evil
dently been caused by boil, not a
recent one. In the DOCTORS opinion the
deceased was an Austrian and he took
the mans eyes and hands as an indi-
cation.
Engineer Betters, on delayed east
bound No. 4, told Of his seeing the
body on the track, bur thought 1t was
a big bundle of clothes. He reported
1t to a west bound freight crew at
Stoclrwood and also to the agent to
look out for what he had seen.
The section foreman at Glyndon and
his wife, Mr.. and Mrs J. - Hover
son, and Charles Anderson, testified
to different incidents which came to
their attention, late the night preced-
ing the morning the body was found
Shots were heard from the direction
whore the body was found, but they
saw NOT heard anything which would
throw any positive light on the mys-
terry. Mr.. Anderson told of seeing
three Austrians getting OF the pas
senger on the night In question, all
had jugs and one invited him to have
a drink He had seen at least two OF
the men about town since the tragedy
A picture Of the, dead body Of the man
was shown to each witness, but
neither OF them could say they had
ever seen such person at any time.
The jury finally reported the verdict
as stated.

stock Market.

New York Sept so.-The excellent
statement Of earnings of the Union
and Southern Pacifc for the month OF
August was the most important de-
yelopment OF the day. Earnings OF
both systems are so gratifying that
increased dividends are easily war
ranted especially ON Southern Pacific
which Is quite likely 10 receive z
per cent rate at The next quarterly
meeting. The action OF the general
market Is very satisfactory to us. Fear
Of higher money rates has induced
some selling in the higher priced
stocks but under this pressure prices
have not shown anything MORE than
moderate recession5. The tone is dis
tinctly strong aid 1t Is our firm belief
that the bull campaign is far from
over. We must expect some irregu-
larity at this level but the most profit
able results will be obtained by buy

jurtes by being run over by delivery

he was struck by one of the Zervas de-
livery teams, knocked down, both
wheels passing over the PROSTATE

Hawley Herald: 1t strikes us as
being rather funny when we see a
bunch of three or four Moorhead and
Fargo sports get off the train here,
possessing the idea that they are GO
ing to get at least half OF the ducks
in the country. Dressed in a new
hunting suit, a pair OF SIS high top
shoes and carrying an automatic shot
gun, they hire a rig and go out in
quest OF game. And isn't II funny
that some little boy living In the
