This is the statement of F. c. Shu-

GERS said Officer Shumaller this
morning. in refuting the inference of
brutality and there arc but few
lights In the yards Every night we
encounter from twenty-five to fifty
tramps. 1t is natural TO presume that
many OF these men are desperate
characters and that our work of pro
tecting the railroads property calls at
times for radical measures on our
part Many OF these tramps are not
merely unemployed men, but are
criminals of the toughest type. Some
of them are petty thieves. who steal
any small thing they can get their
hands on. not only from the railroad
company. but from the people living
along the right OF way.

watchman, dropping into the parlance
OF the tramp world, never hit the

Chicago. Dec. 13.-Nathaniel B.
Hyde, former United States commits
sioner for the southern district of
Wisconsin, grandson of Governor
Baldwin of Massachusetts. and mem
ber of the New York and Wisconsin
bars, was murdered in his room at
his lodging house last night. His
head was battered with a crowbar
p The DEATH was discovered when
Hyde's lifeblood had trickled through
crack in the floor to the room be-
meath. A lodger is being sought.
A letter which he was in the midst
of writing is the only the clue the po-
lice have and through il they hope to
trace a Mexican who became a ten
ant of Hyde several days ago Hyde
was rs years old.
The slain man who was more or
less of recluse, was a native of Yer.
mont. He was educated at the Al.
bany law school and at the college of
law of the university of Michigan. His
wife died ten years ago and since
then he has been eccentric.

left an estate is not known. He was
known to carry a considerable sum
with him and as this was not found
after he died, it is believed he was
