THECHICAGO DAILY RIBUNE: THURSDAY, MAY %2 MURDERED ON THE ROAD. . A Lonely Farmer Killed While Re- | deslt turning to Mis Home, His Body Found Lying in tho Mid- dle-of the Rond, Wis' Skull Fractured, and -His Heart Pierced by a. Bullet. The Viotim as Yet Unknown, and His: ! Assassing Undiscovered. ‘The Tragedy Shrouded in Horri- ble Mystery. ' The body of tho hapless viotim of an undoubt- ©d.midnight sssassination was found on Woat Chicago avenue, nonr the intorsection of Whisky Point rond, yostordsy morning, at 7 o'clock, by Adam V. Cook, of No. 509 Sccond straet. Tho Wetails of the shocking tragody, tho identity of the murderors, and ovon tho name and residonco of thoir victim, aro as yot unknownj but tho wounds which appear on the body romova all doubt that, in tho doad of Tucsday night, % A HORRIDLE MUBDER was committed. Thoe place whore tho body was found is about ono milo wost of Wosforn ayonue, ‘snd the samo distance east from the now city {imits, on a highway much froquented by farm- ors after nightfall, on thoir roturn to their homos from tho oity, which, therofore, Las, at times, boen infosted with assassing, whoso dark doeds. have mado tho rond, to some, & torror. Boveral bloody oncounters have occurred upon it, but, ‘unloss tho dwollors on it aro doceived, o murder his now, for the firat time, boon committed along its route. TIE BURROUNDINGS of tho piace where tho body was found aro lone- 1y and desolate, thore boing no house near by, nor trees, and tho road is senmed aloog by ditches. As bofore stated, the horriblo discovery was mndo by o man named Adam Cook, nlaborer, who was progeeding to his work. As he ap- pronched the body, ho supposed it to Lo that of an inobriated mau, and paid no particular atton- tion toit. But, npon coming nearer, Lo waa ter- rifled by tho sight of . A" POOL OF BLOOD, which lay all about tho head of the prostrato mon. The lifoloss condition of the body, with tho faca all discolored and disfignrod, and o doep cut in tho forelead, »* ouce raised the frighten- ing supposition in his mind that tho prostrato form bofore him was that of a murdered man. Ho immodiately retracod his stops, and praceod- ed to tho Eighth Procinet Police Station, whero horeported the .discovery to “Sorgeant Briscoo, That officor immodiatoly dotailed Officors Korr and Biglor to nccompany Alr. Cook to tho placo whore the body was lying, Wlien they reached thero, the whole neighbor- bood had been aroused, and the body was sur- rounded by & crowd of curious and excited poople. Tho body had not besn molestad, and was lying in the same position » A8 WHEN DISCOVERED. Xt was found on tho north gide of the road, on the flat of its back. Tho head lay in ® ehallow ditch, which was filled “with o pool of blood. Thero was also o trail of blood, which extended from the head to a spot near the fonco, on tho sumo_ side of the road, which indicated, ofthor that thn murdered man had staggored to the spot where he was found, or had beon carriod thoro. The former auppo- aition is moat likely truo, as a pistol-shot was found in his breast, which, from its nature, was doubtloss mado aftor the viotim was down, and was given to tho moro offectually silonce TR MURDERED MAN was dreueddfluinly, and, to sl appoarancos, was & farmor. He worc brown jesn pants, o dark voat, and a blnck cont. Holad on s checkered woofon shirt. On Lis right band was buckskin El\mllel glove. Ho wore heavy grayish whis- ers on his chin and checks, His' bair was thin, d of tho same color, and his forchead retroat- Ho was six feot in hoight, and was, appar- -about 68 yoars old. - y THE EVIDENCES OF [URDER were clonr and unmistakable. The back part of %i0ad, bohiud the loft car, was crushed in by somo blunt instrumont, and so dead- dy was tho effcot that the skull was Inid open, and tho brains protruded from tho wound. Ovor tho right oye thora was a cut, an inch in Jongth, which must bave bean made by & slung-shot. Whalever weapon had beon usad, it bad made a circular fracture, which oxtende from tho contro of the forchend to the top of tho tiead, and thon to the place whera the fracture bogan. At tho post-mortom examination, ss moon na’ the scalp was removed this pieco of tho skull fell off. 'Tho discovery of a pistol-shot in the bresst was not made until tho post-mortom examina- tion at tho Morgue, yestorday ‘afternoon. Tho ball enterod the" cartilage just below the sixth 1ib_and & little to tho loft of the sternum, and, taking an upward diroction through the body, dodgad near tho back part of the heart, This wound must have been inflicted . AFTER TIE MAN WAS DOWN, 83 tho ball would have passod. i tho opposito i reetion if ho liad beon staunding when ho rocol ed it. Eithor of thesoinjuries would have prod ©d death. Whon found, the right pantaloons pock- et of the dead man was turned inside out, and nothiug was discovored on his porson excipt & Koy, to which was -attached a leather cord, thua showing that ho had beon robbed. To aid in fixing tho identity of the murderod man, it may be stated that under thoe right lapel of his cont were found two rows of pius arranged in o po- culisr mouner. AN EXUAUSTIVE SEARCI ‘was made by-tho oilicers who were sent attor the body for tho weapons which made_the wounds, or any other evidoncos of the struggle, but, ox~ copt two one-cent pioces nnd a comb, nothing was found. The body was taken to tho flhicngo Avenuo Btation, aud thence _re- moved to the Morguo, whero Dr, Em- mons made o post-mortem examination yesterdny aftornoon, but nothing further was doveloped than has beon already stated. Owing o tho lack of evidenco in tho cnse, tho inquest was doforred until this morning at 10 o'clock, whon it.will bo hold at the County Hospital, if tho body can bo idontiflod. - Borgt. Briuios tolographed tho mattor to Capt. Lull Boon after tho discovery was mado, 'I'heso two oflicers procured a private conveyance, and drove to . THE HCENE OF THE MURDER, dotermined that no time should bo lost in forret- ing out tho aseaesius, and bringing thom to ustico for tho drondful crime they had porpe- roted. - Diligont inquirios failed to elicit any very importaut information, A farmer ‘who liven about G0 rods from the pinco where tho body waa found stated that about 11 oclock on Tuetdny night ho heard bis dogs howling and “barking in an unusual mannor, Thoro were no ovidoncos of o strug- gle noar the body, nor foot-prints by which to ascortain whonco the murdorors cama or whore thoy wont. Yostorday nftornoon, Capt, Lull and Dotective Tyrroll, accompanied by a Trin- DN roportor, sgain visited tho viclnity of the quurder. All'day tho passors-by had beon stop- ing to look at the pool of blood, as if to ploture u it the horriblo circumstances which produced it. Every houso thoroabouts was visitod and lernughli gearchod, and the occupants olosoly quostioned. At tho house of A NEGNO NAMED HOUSTON Capt. Lull was told by tho man himsel? that a whito man, namod Jolm Wilson, woll known 88 & foot-pad, bad stoppod at ' his housa on Monday night, and that his wifo was still thero, This woman denied that hor husband had beon thero minco last weok, and would not toll his where- bouts, ‘This Wwas tha ouly information worthy of mention the ofticers learncd, and thoy ro- turned at o Iate hour lant evoning complotoly befoggad. Thoy aro dotorminad, Liowevor, that an‘iiy nothing shall bo lott undone which shall lead to the solution of tho mystory and the swift puu- {shment of tho murderers, e g THEIR TIEORY regarding tho caso in, that the farmor was driv- ing howe in a wagonj that his murderers mot hiin, and askod him to allow them to ride, After belng in tho wagon thoy managed to draw from Dim what had ocensloned his - vislt to tho city, and, having discoyered that ho had money, thoy bim a stunning blow from bebind,” Thoy | then stopped the horses, and pullod him out of ! struck d, thoir victim reviving, the e i & Ghoond Llow on ‘tho. foroliosd, pud then robkod him.

A WHIRLWIND. A Serfous Accompaniment of Last Evon- ing’s Storm. Sidowatks Torn Up, and a Nowly-Bullt Rosl- " dsnco Domolished. At nbout 7 o'clock, yostorday ovening, the, fact of an c'orhanglng storm waa mpparent to tho eyos of thoe least obsorvatit of tho West End citizons, Tho clear bluo sky whioh had, un- wontedly, and with natonishing constancy, cheored tho city during tho duy, was obscured by inky clouds, which snilod swifily from tho southwost in anorthenstorly direction. Rain foll shortly, and soon tho thundor and lightning bo- gon toadd to tho dolights which have boon so plontitully showered upon us this senson. ‘I'hen, without & suspicion of promenition, eamo thowhirlwind. Itsprosonco was announcod by tho suddon swaying northsward of the rond-sido troos, whoso bud-spangled limbs, bending undoi tho influonco of the wind, lashed tho ground. Then: stoutly-built houses shook and groaned under' ‘tho galo, tho first shock of which n rosidont do- scribos 08 boing Uiko tho atroke of an immonaa fist ngninat tho radf, A glance out of the win- dow was rowarded with a viow of nmass of fly- ing matorial, varying from a soction of sidowalk down to the foather-like fragmonts of a Venotian blind. The brunt of the whirlwind, which paid so unpleasant a flying visit, was fell by tho rosi- denta of tho noighborhood of South Roboy and VauBuren stroots, Horo its fury foll flercest, Tho moment that the sudden, ponderous stroke alit, shuttors woro torn from their hingos, clothes, which the seductive sky had porsuaded to ocoupy clothos-lines, wont sailing heavenward at a rato of afl ed not equaled sinco the days of Enoch and, Elisha ; chimnoy-taps wore blown off and a cont of soot doposited on carpets and bod-covers ; while houges which had tho win- dows on ono sido open, had to mourn the loss of overy - pain of glnes on' the othor. Tho damago cousod by the whirlwind was con- fluod to o spco about 20 feot in width by nbout 500 in length, tho most poculiar fonturo in its ravages boing tho way in whioh it mudo n total wreck of some places, whilo o fow foot off its oxistonco was spparently unknown, To summarizo briefly the graver damage tho wind-phonomonon wreaked during its five-sec- ond stay: Tho flrat houso which received morked attontion wos that of a A, tfold, No. 600 West Tylor streot, & framo_two-story building, which he occupics as & residenco. At the timo tho storm struck it, ho was out in the in’d, and it was only whon & nelghbor informed im that ho becamo aware of the faot that two- thirds of tho roof of his domiclle had boen rip- od off and jorked northoastward a distance of 60 foot. Tho damngo dono to the house alone is cstimated at 9600, whilo tho carpets insido are conslderably -damagod by the suddon influx of rain water which followed the doparture of tho roof. Tho courso of the whirlwind was so olearly deflned that the occupants of the house and workshop of Mr, Dennis, west neighbor, and of Mr. Merritt, cast noighbor, wero not sonsible of tho oxistonco'of tho ™ blow.” After blowing out a part of Mr. Whitfleld’s fenco, the whirl- wind struck tho most northerly of three two- story Liousos which are boing ereoted on tho southwest cornor of Roboy ond Van Buren streots by Mr. Moado, loaving it a complete wrock. Yestordsy morning it stood up plumb 88 possible, a8 neat a two-story framo houso as_was evor nailed togethor ; last nigh it waa a8 domoralized a mass of building materia as over leanod at an auglo of 60 degreos from its “foundation, looling like tho crusiied, misshapon . romaing of 'what once was a respectablo boaver.. Tho loss on_this-house is estimated at not loss than $800. Leaving tho wrecked house tho de- ‘montod galo took up tho Roboy strect sidewallk, lifting about 100 feot of it from tho ground, dis viding it into longths and ugm]ins oach section on & massago. of dostruction. 'Tho bulk of it Ianded in th tulddle of Roboy streot, ono pleco, howover, about 25 feot long falling into n ditch on tho opposits side of the streot; whilo tho Dbiggest foat of all was accomplished by an eighteon-foot section which was cought up from tho southwent cornor of Roboy and \&'.m Buron, whirled in mid-nir, about_thirty foot up, Tor amomont, thon dushod:-sgainst tho lampe post on tho northeast cornorof the street, com- pletely dnmulishlu% ity headworks and leavin, tho post bonding 4t an anglo of 45 dogreos, and finally closing its disgonal rush by sinking in tho Joam of an unoccupied lot. Tho Inst ovidonco of the storm's power was the lifting of . privy, in tho back promises of a- Mr. Gray, out of Hu yard and over a fonce into the samo vacant lot occupied by the 18-foot section of * sidewslk. ‘Dwo boys were in’ this building at the timo but, strango toeay, they escaped injury., i Thodiroction of the whirlwind wassouthwostto southenst, and its duration waa nat longor than from ivo to eight scconds, Thoroaro roports of frain damagos out on tio pralrie, but thoy aro ut vagno rumors, aud lack cireumatantinl” sub- stantiation. It i5 statod, howover, that the Van Buren streot car had a narrow oscape, as it passed Roboy streot but & fow scconds beforo tho occurrence, Had the fiying sidewalks on- countered this car, which was crowded with pas- songors, tho results could not have been other than the loss of a numbor of lives. f ———— SOUTHWESTERN SEWERAGE.
