Unidentified
Man Murdered
at Fremont
Body Supposed to Be That Of John
Hector Found Beside Track with
Skull Crushed.

FREMONT, Nell, Aug. 13--tSpecial Tel
egram. 1.-The body of q man believed to be
John Hector was found about 1850 this
morning with his skull crushed near the
Northwestern yards In the southeast part
of tho city. Near by him was an iron bolt
about two feet long and half filled bottle
OF whisky.
The body was discovered by EDDY Mon
roe, 12-year-old boy, who notified Fore
man Herman of the Northwestern repair
force, and by direction of Coroner Over
gaar the body was taken TO Anderson's
undertaking rooms.
On account Of the rain It was impossible
to tell from the appearance Of the ground
whether any scuffle had taken place. One
blow at the back of the head had evidently
been struck when the victim had his hat
on and the other two directly over the fore
head. Pieces of skull and brain matter
lay on the ground.
From papers found 1t is believed that his
name is John Hector. He was seen around
town yesterday peddling needles and spec
tacles and late last night in company with
two other parties. The dead man was about
80 years old, had dark hair and moustache
slightly streaked with gray and dark brown
eyes. One leg Is crooked and slightly shorter
than the other.
A good description was obtained OF the
two men seen with him last and this morn
ing the police arrested a man who answered
the description of one Of them. He was
too drunk to give his name and was locked
up to await developments. Sixteen cents in
money was found on the person OF the dead
man. .i.;,s,s

GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Aug. 1s.-(spe-
ctal Telegram )-Othello NJ. Evans of the
firm OF Marshall & Evans, which has the
contract for the federal building in Grand
Island, was married August to Miss Grace
Gormatn of Grand Island. The ceremony
took place at Central City, conducted by
Rev. Charles Williams, pastor OF the Pres
byterian church. The information now
comes to the German family from Kansas
City that Evans had q wife and three chill
dren residing there Evans left hero some
days ago
Evans and Miss German. accompanied by
the BRIDES mother and brother, went to
Omaha as long ago as January last, and
It was generally known here and publicly
announced. that they were to be married.
Evans, however, was at that time taken
i'll, according TO report. and the marriage
was postponed.
Recently the work of the firm ON the
government building here was stopped.
Evans was the member of the firm in
charge. Just what the difficulties were
has not definitely been determined.
Possible Divorce.
The German family seemed to have been
under the belief that Evans was divorced,
and say that a supposed copy Of a decree
was shown to Mr.. and Mrs. German. II
is now believed by them that II thfs de-
cree is not wholly fictitious, It might, judg-
ing from what they have learned today,
be the copy of a decree of still former
marriage.
Mr. Marshall. Evans associate in the
contracting business, is here and with his
attorney Is trying to dlsentangle the matter
of the local contract Only about $4,000
more OF work needs to be done. Neither
Mr. Marshall nor his attorney will have
anything to say in connection with the
revelations as to Mr.. Evans recent mar
riage.
Mr.. Marshall, business associate OF
Evans received word late today from
Washington to the effect that II he would
give the contract his own personal super
vision, theorder stopping the work and de-
manding an inventory OF construction dont
and material furnished would be revoked,
and he would be allowed to complete the
building under the original contract
This Mr.. Marshall was ready to do, and
left at once for Kansas City to arrange
his affairs 90 as to be able to remain
here with the work as soon as started
