OFFICIAL VOTE Is
SAME AS UNOFFICIAL

Official election returns confirm the
unofficial count as hitherto printed re-
garding the vote on congressman and
member of the state board of equali-
zation in this district. c. J. Searle of
this city has a plurality of 230 over
Dean Franklin and l.. NJ. Magill for
the Office of congressman. The enor-
nous vote polled by Mr.. Searle in his
own county won him the election, de-
spite the fact that Franklin carried
McDonough and Warren counties by
large majorities.
Samuelson's majority over Brown
for the board of equalization is 147 &C
cording to the official count. The win
ner carried four of the six counties in
the district.

MRS. ANNA KILDUFF
Is ON TRIAL AGAIN

The second trial of Mrs. Anna Kill
duff for the murder of her husband,
John Kilduff, Oct. 80, 1911. began in
the district court this afternoon at 2
o'clock before Judge A. ]. House.
A special venire of so jurors was
on hand. Indications are that the trial
will continue for nearly two weeks, as
about the same testimony will be in
tToduced at this hearing as that which
featured the first trial.
1t is thought that the defense will
introduce a few more witnesses, but
the outline of the prosecution by the
state will be practically the same.
Mrs. Kilduff is still in the county Jail,
where Ehe has been confined since
the day of the shooting. The work of
choosing the jury will require about
two days. Until the Kilduff trial is
completed nothing will be done to-
wards trying the 16 labor men whose
cases were transferred to this county
from Muscatine county on change Of
venue.

In Water Since January 24-Discoy-
cry Is Made Yesterday
Noon.

The body of the unknown man who
was thought to have been Thomas
Murphy, who was drowned in the
Mississippi at the foot of Eighteenth
street Jan. "a, was discovered lit
tie distance from the shore at the
foot of Fourth avenue near the boat
yards yesterday noon by Martin H.
Schillinger, and this morning at
Knox's undertaking parlors John
Burke identified the remains as those
of Murphy.
MISSING SINCE JAN. II.
According to Burke, Murphy, who
vas about "a years of age, had been
working for several months for John
E. Roop, a brush cutter who had a
camp on the Illinois side of the river,
just opposite Fairport. Murphy left
the camp Wednesday, Jan. II, just
a week before he was drowned. At
that time he wore blue serge suit,
blue overalls, leather shoes with gum
overshoes, a blue shirt, short heavy
black overcoat and a cap. He was
smooth shaver. The description tai
lies exactly with that of the body
found yesterday.
LYING FACE DOWNWARD.
Burke stated that the dead man
was a cigaret fiend, and in the cloth
ing were found a quantity of papers
and tobacco, as we'll as a pair OF
glasses, which also confirmed the
identity of the man.
Schillinger was walking along the
river bank yesterday noon, and
glancing out into the water noticed
what he believed to be the body or
a man. Thinking he was mistaken,
however, he started to walk away,
then turned around and retracing his
steps, perceived that the object in the
waters was a corpse.
Calling to a man standing nearby,
he asked him to notify the police.
Officer Meenan responded and the
body, in terrible state of decompo-
sition and bloated to twice its nor
nal size, was removed from the wa
/ ter and taken to Knox's undertaking
parlors.

Without apparent provocation, Green

Mack Ragler, also a colored waiter,
with carving knife at 1870 yesterday
afternoon in the kitchen Of the Rock
Island club. Ragler, whose left groin
had been pierced by the knife and
was nearly disemboweled, died an
hour and half later at st. Anthonys
hospital, where he was taken within
20 minutes after the murder. Steward
Walter Z. Ashley was standing within
three feet of the men when the assault
took place. His back was turned to
them, and he was only attracted by
Ragler's groans of agony as he sank
70 the floor. He turned and saw Men,

the air. He raised his hand and said

dropped the knife, grabbed his coat
and left the building via a rear door.

he was informed Of his being

cant. Menter asked for aid, complain
ing at the time that he was doing too
much work Ragler who was present,
spoke up and said, You are trying to
do too much" According to witnesses,
the remark angered Menter. Seeing
that, Ragler attempted to pacify him.
The attempt only added fuel to the
fire and the assault followed.
RESULT OF OTHER TROUBLES.
That the mere statement made by
Ragler yesterday did not provoke the
assault is a certainty, for evidence that
Menter had before assaulted Ragler
with knife at.the Lincoln club, cut
ting him across the hand, was given
by witnesses. They state that Ragler
was assaulted in December while at
the Lincoln club and that the trouble
Of that time had never been settled
and simmered and scared to climax
in yesterdays murder. The incidents
centering about yesterdays affair, is
further proof that the quarrel had its
incipiency on some other occasion.
The knife which was used by Menter
has an eightinch blade. Menter held
it point downward when he set upon
Ragler and thrust It with such force
that il penetrated into one of the in
testines and nearly through the body.
internal hemorrhage resulted and
when Ragler was placed on the oper-
ating table at the hospital. the flow
of blood had been assuaged. 1t was
seen then that Ragler was dying and
that all efforts to stave of death,
would be useless. He died at 2:30.
HELD BY JURY.
Coroner John f. Rose impanneled
his jury and after looking into the
murder, returned the following YER
dict, in accordance with the above
facts:
