Cedar Rapids, June 5.-The facts of
Ia sensational episode on Milwaukee
train near Newhall have just leaked
out 1t was murder, and the victim of
the nurderers was buried yesterday.
The information is rather meager
and the authorities seem to have been
unable to get any clues.
Two young men, living at Newhall,
named Rood, have been in the habit
of cumming" it on the freight cars.
They seem to have spent a great deal
of their time in doing nothing and
did not stand very high in public es-
TEEN.
The other day they decided to go
somewhere, or anywhere, and so they
jumped into a freight car which was
in a passing train. When they got in
side they found two other 'tbummers"
in the car, two bad looking tramps
The tramps after talking the matter
over, approached the two boys and
told them it was a question of their
money or their lives. Just what hap
pened is not clear, from the testi-
n ony of the one who survived But
| it is thought there was not any re-
sistance that warranted the use of the
gun. But, nevertheless, a bullet was
put thru the side of the face of
one of the Rood boys, killing him, it
| is presumed, instantly.
| The tramps are supposed to have
taken $50 from one of the men and
SIS from the other, so the survivor
says.
The tramps then took the live boy
and dropped him out of the car, hut
in doing so did not injure him seri-
ously, if at all, except to jar him. The
train was not running very fast. AZ
forwards they dumped the dead man
out of the car not wanting to be
found with the murdered mans body
in the car. Whether the man was ac-
tuaily dead when dropped out, re-
mains a mystery. From the nature
of the wound he may have been alive
at the time and killed by the fall and
the rolling which he got. The sur
vivor says that he was stone dead
when he came up to his body.
The Rood boys were hardly past
20 years of age. The funeral of the
murdered one was held at the home
of the widowed mother, the Rev. A. L
Rucker, of Norway, preaching the ser.
mon.
The affair at Newhall is one of the
most mysterious affairs. What ha
become Of the tramps who did th
deed is not known, but they hav
. probably made their escape so far ant
SO we'll that they will never be mad
to suffer for their crime

COMMERCIAL COURSE ADDED.
Decision to Add 1t to Curriculum o.

S0StSlON TO AQC IL 10 SuFT1Culun1 OF
Webster City Schools.
Special to Times-Republican
Webster City. June 5.--A commercial
course will be added to the curriculum
Of the Webster City schools. Professor
Kelly, the newly elected superintend-
ent, has had this course in the schools
at Cedar Falls for several years, and
it is upon his recommendation that
the course will be added here. No &C
ton has yet been taken by the board,
but the matter will be adjusted some
time before school opens in the fall.
Professor Kelly argues that COM
mercial course. including typewriting,
shorthand, commercial arithemetic,
etc, is of more actual benefit to the
average student than are the higher
branches, and in this he will have the
full sanction of the patrons of the
Webster City schools. The board also
plans later on to add manual training
to the work now being done in the
schools.
