Creston, April 2.-Whcn an extra
train in charge Of Conductor HiXen-
baugh arrived in the yards from the

dead men in a coal car loaded with
lumber. At one end of the car was
space about four feet and it was here
the bodies were found. The car was
set out and the authorities notified and
the bodies removed to the McGregor
Eros. & Coen morsue, where it &C.
veloped that the men had been muir
dered.
One of them, Mexican somewhere
about 40 to As years gid had been shot
three times. The other appeared to be
young Italian about % or % years of
age and had been shot once in the abb
domen. They had been dead but
few hours. The Italian had letter on
his person which the authorities were
unable to translate. No weapons of any
kind were found on them and all the
shots entering the bodies sloped down
ward ard it is evident they were shot
from above either on the pile of lum-
Der or from the ladder on the side of
the car. None of the Mexicans who
reside in this city knew the men. They
were dressed in good clothes, not
working clothes, and it is believed that
they might have been coming to this
city to spend Sunday. William Peter
son, the roadmaster Of the Burlington
this division said the Mexican might
have been from Hastings, Iowa, but
was not sure. The case is MYSTERY
SO far but every effort will be made TO
clear it up. The bodies are still at the
undertakerS awaiting identification.
