The case proved to be a mys- tery, which will only be cleared up, if ever, by the most shrewd and careful work, The coroner, accompanied by Officer ~ Peter Matza and a reporter of the Beg - and went out (Iours fnl owed by I - German " past 10 o'clock yester: ¢ rud l]u drove out, shortly after the first notifica- tion had been feceved, to the scene of the tingedy.

For several feet around thy round was sonked with blood, whil eading around the side of the hous for a distance of about n - or twelve feet was a trail of blood. A close examination of the corpse showed that almost beyond question the case was one of murder. There was a heavy gash, probably_four or five inches in ~length, and two in depth, on_the left side of the neck, which must have caused death almost instantaneously. In addition to this there was a cut of about two inches in length under the left ear, another one on the left side of the chest, and ‘illll another on the right arm, a fow_inck above the elbow, nn the uwlxh No um- apperacd to be able to ide the dead man, butit was pretty cert: nl hat he was o German of perhaps 38 or 24 years of age, and that his name was Ruhle, as a bank book, bearing the stamp of the Omaha Savings Bank, was found in_his pocket with that name on it. Beyond that, and ostal card bea side he printed add ger des Westens,’ the German journal of St. Louis, there were no son. He was attired n in a suit of dark jeans, of which were open. THE THEORY OF MURDER W As already intimated, every circum- stance connected with the case points to the theory of murder. Abouta quarter ay the occupants of the Millner r which the body was found, were awakened by the sereaming of a man, who was evidently nul,z;:hnF with an assailant.

If the case wasone of suicide, Ruhle would not have cut him- self in 8o many places. The circumstance of the cuts on the arm and breast is prob- ably attributable to the fact that Ruhle, in attempting to ward ofl' the uttack of the unknown as .uhnt threw up his arm * to parry the thrusts. In f; ct, the horrible manner in which the déad man is chopped shows that the struggle been a terrific one.

Assuming then that Ruhle was mur- lered, which is almost beyond the pread- ‘wenture of a doubt the only thing possi- 4 lu, the motive is the next thing to be de- termined. This at pre: it woula em, must remain 'y, for the nost dilligent search has so far failed to veal any circums which will row hi; upon the matter. 1t was thought, however, that Ruhle wiy- ‘)mep intent upon robbing, and at, in defending himself, he was Killed., 1o clue to the perpe- with A 1 4 utors of the deed.

Here undreds of curious persons pressed in 0 view the remains, and it s not long lore one of the spectators, Fred W th, roprietor of the City Hofel, identified ‘the corpse as that of a' man who d boarded at his house for near- a your and a half.

The board has an appropriation of $20,000 for this building and can only expend $5.000 in excess of this amount, making a totul of $25,000. The plans for the building were made a in the price of certain kinds of material and the advance in the price of labor, mukes it impossible for the building, planned, to be constructed within' the prescribed limit, It is proposed by the board to substitute a shingle roof for the slate cne contemplated in the origin: plan, thus saving about 500, and to re- duce the amount of stone work about £1,500, making a total reduction of %2,000.
