This is especially apparent when these officials are called upon to testity in regard to the saloons, Any one who bas lived hero six months would naturally suppose that the chief of police and city marshal would know something quite definite concerning so pub- lle a place as the Mint. Yel ina cast just heard before Judge Macy these ofiiciuls seem to know very little about one of the best known places in the city, and which is sup- posed to be under police surveillance. Portions of the testimony will prove inter. esting matter to the citiz:ns, and ought to be 80 to the mayor. he following is the salient portion of the testimony of Chief Lucas, of the police force: Do you know the location of a certain saloon in this city known as the ‘Mintf “I know u place of that kind.” “Have you been in there at any time within the last two or three mon*hs—three or four months (" 1 haven't.” peWhen, [ stall, have Jou ever been in there?” *I think the last time I was in there was last March." *What did you see there?” “Well, thero was gambhng gomg on the night 1 was 1n there; went in there to ar- rest some man gambling."” “That was in the brick bulding ! “Yes, in the back room.” “What, if anything, do you know about th~ business that 15 being conducted in the frame part of the place, in front!" “I could not say, to my porsonal knowledge, for I have not been in there.” “Have you ever made any observations from the outside “Nothing more than I could see; I see men going outand in there; aud there is a restaurant attached to it.”" “‘How frequently do your duties take you along by this building ! +On, u dozen or fifteen times & day. I pre- sume.”’ Do you know what the general reputa- tion of the business is that is conducted in that front room, known as the ‘Mint{ “Well, Tdon't know what—of my own per- sonai knowledue, if that is what you mean, I could not tell you.” “Do you kuow what is generally said awong the citizens of Council Bluffs as to the character of the busimess that_is beiug conducted in that frame building kuown as the Mint?” “Well, Tdon't know how [ could get at that to tell you the straight of it."” “Give the best answer you can'? “I don’t know as—I have heard peopie say it was a saloon. Icould not tell you who suid 8o, but—" *What do you say about 1t being the gen- eral understanding inCouncil Bluffs that the Mint was a saloon “Well, T should say it “Well, you know the weneral reputation there, do you, in Council Bluffsi» “Nothing more than hearsay,” “Well, that is what I called for.” Hereafter o'clock p. m. m ou say that 1t isa saloon by gen eral reputation ¢ hief was excused, City Marshal Guanella testified that he hud not been in the Mint since February 1 At least he courd not remember of having been in there. At that time there were some gumbling unplements, he believed, in the back part, and in the front end some kind of a bar, *'What business did you see being carried on iu there” “Ididn’t pay any attention to what was going on in the front part of the nouse, I just went straight througi to the back part.” *You have been in there since Febrnary ! “I may have beou; I don’t think I nave. It is possible 1 have.” ;:pu city marshal of Council Bluffs#? s, I"Aud have been during all the time since then?” % hasn't it been a part of your duty, as city marshal, to notify all men supposed to be engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors to come arovud to the city building aod pay & monthly fine, or something like that? “Idon't know #s it has.

'L baven't been notifying them wmyself; there have been other parties notifying them 10 come in and settle; they came and settled —settled with the city clerk, I believe.” After many more tedious questions, the city marshal was led to testify that the Mint had the reputation of being a saloon, ““‘What do you understand to be a saloon?’ “What I understand to be a saloon is o placa where cigars and drinks are sold, dif- ferent kinds of drinks, muy be intoxicants, may be not.” ““‘What do you say us to the general under- standing as to the Mint being a place for the sale of intoxicating liquors " ““Well, I don't know what the general un- derstandiog is.” ——— ‘There are a large number of entries for to- day’s yacht race at the lake, and 1t will be closely contested ———— Desirable dwellings for rent at mouerate prices, E.

The coul and soot begrimed nostlers looked at him incredulously, as he staod thene pant- ing und quiveriag with excitesient and ter- ror, and thore was a general feeling that the boy was joking and trying to send them out on a wild goose chase. But it was only for a moment. There was no joking in those horror dilated eyes, and the men gathered quickly around, and began to ply the bearer of the dreadful tidings with questions, “It's right over there just a very little way,” said the boy, pointing west and a little north of the round house, and soon he wae showing the way to the spot, tollowed by half & dozen of the won- dering railroad employes There he is,” exclaimed the guide; stop- ping short and gliding behind one of the men, as they came upon a little open place in the weeds, whero, stretched at fuil length upon the trampled earth, lay the body of & man, It was indeed & horrible sight, and one from which even the strongest of the spectators shrank involuntarily. Not only was the man dead, but he had been dead for days. It was likewise uppar- ent how he had met his death. It was not under the grinding wheels, not under the sliding airt bank, nor yet in the treacherous river, butat the hands of a fellow man—a fiend in human form, who, with deadly pur- pose, had beaten and pounded him until irfe was extin To all of this a murderons club, lying but a few feet away, asilent though convincing witness. ~ The terrivle deed was done, but the identity of the victim as well as of the murderer, was shrouded in mystery. The police were notified and the coroner was summoned. A jury was empancled, and the remuins of the vietim and all their sur- surroundings were carefully examined. There was no clue to the murderer or to the cause of the tragedy. The fact alone ap- ed that the murderer had inviezled his victim to this quiet spot, a quarter of a mile from the nearest habitation, and nearly as far from the round house, and had there ac- complisied his awful design. This was all that was there apparent, and little has since been ascertained to ‘throw light upon the subject. 1t is not even known when the crime was committed. The onky clue on this point is that the men employed at the roundhouse heard a noise in that direction last Monday night, which sounded as if some one was pounding something with a club. 1t lasted but a short time, and no other noise was heard. ‘There were no cries for help, no sound of a struggle, and the matter would undoubtedly huve soon been forgotten had it not been recalled in 8o vivid a man- ner. Were those sounds produced by the murderér’s club upon ihe head of his de- fenseless victim¢ Probably; but as yet no one knows, The remuins were removed to the under- taking roows of Kield & Istep, where the inquost will be held at 9 o'clock this morn- mg. ‘An examination of the body showed more fully how deadly bad been the murdere:'s intent. There were the marks of several heavy blows, any one of which would have rendered the victim insensible, showing that robbery was not alone tne object, although the pockets were rified, buv that the victim had been terribly beaten after he fell. Great pieces of skin and flesh were torn from the dead man’s hands and fingers. where the cruel blows had fallen when he up his hands to protect his head and rignt over ‘Two livid and discolored plazes in the lower part of the abdomen showed where brutal kicks had been administered, but aside from this the only marks of violence were on the head. One blow of the bludgeon had struck across the right eye, then upwards diagon- aily to the middlc of the forehead. Another had torn the scalp from the skull at the crown of the head. Another had reduced the right ear to a puip and laid open the scalp, and still another had fallen ross the left temple, fracturing the skull, tearing open the skin and making a ghastly wound. ~ Another blow had broken the jawbone vn the right side, wiiile all over the entire head and face were bruises und contusions which rendered the corpse a most revolting object. The weapon with which the murder was committed is a stake of hard pine 2x4, two and a half feet Jong, sharpened at one’ end, and was a lov stake set by some surveyor. It is painted white and bears the mark, “Block 7, lot 2. The dead man is dark complexioned, has black bair, brown woustache, beard of about ten days growth, Is tive feet seven inches tall, weighs about 145 pounds and was about twenty-eight years of age. His hands are calioused, showing the laborer, as did his clothes, which consisted of a colored shirt, dark pants, blue overalls and dark coat. He has not been identified, but is believed to be a Council Bluffs laboring man, and 1t is ex- pected that he will be identified to-day. The police have already begun to work on the case, but offer no theories regarding i It is believed that the man was killed Mon- day night, He had evidently laid where he was found for some days, as the flies had heen busy, and bis hair was filled with a sickening mass of their eggs, which were about ready to hatch, This would indicate that he had been dead two or three days. Everything points to a cold blooded and premeditated murder. Al that was found upon the dead man were some matches, a small photograph of a soubrette, such as como 1n boxes of cigarettes, and u small yellow advertising slip of the real estate firm of Swan & Wallker, of this city. After the inquest this' morning, the public will be allowed to view the remains, in case they are notsooner identified. ——— Queer rlaze for a Nest.
