THEN CARRIED TO OUTSKIRTS
Young Man Under Surveillance Hires
Livery Rig in Which It is Believed
Body Was Removed - Significant
Convers alton Of Young Men-A Mo-
tive Developed But Not Made Public.
Special to Times-Republican.

Mason City, July 21.-The Indications
are that the murder mystery of last
Saturday night or Sunday morning is
about to be solved. Evidence is be-
to be poin ting in the same direction 1t
is quite likely that Henry Lucas was
killed between the hours Of s O'Clock
on Saturday afternoon and 8 o'clock
that evening: that he was enticed into
an out-of-the- place. possibly not
far from the heart of the city, and
glass with friends. was struck down
and killed His body was left there
until possibly 1 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. when a rig was secured and it was
carried nearly a mile west of the city
and there dragged some twenty five
feet into the woods.
A Motive Revealed
Already there is evidence which sub
Stimulates this story IN brief A mo-
tive has been secured, the nature Of
which can not now be divulged The
murdered young man can not be traced
Saturday night later than o'clock and
possibly not quite that late. He
seemed to fall completely out Of sight.
When he left his home that afternoon
between 2 and o'clock Cfor he slept
during the dayD he said to his mother
that he was in hurry and that he
should be then at the place he had
agreed to be- A few days previous to
that he told his mother he had been to
a place where he drank some beer and
there was girl there.
A Possible Clue.
At o'clock Sunday morning young
man presented himself at the Veech
livery stable and asked for a horse
and buggy. He was rugged out and
about an hour later returned. This is
about the length Of time 1t would take
to carry the body to where 1t was
found. The officers now have in their
possession bloody handkerchief found
only a short distance from where the
body lay. The handkerchief had evil

of the murdered man and thrown
