County Covention Selects Nominees For County Ofces—Notes of General and Personal Interest. The Republican The Murdered® Man Identifi The murder cvas, of which a full account appeared in yesterday's Ber, was the topic of general conversation on the stroets yes- terday. It excited far more attention than did the republican county convention, which was held at the court house. Everybody was inquiring for clues, theories und the latest developments, but there was but very little to be ascertained in addition to what had already been made public. The inquest, h was to have been held at 10 o'clock, was again postponed until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, to see if some imporvant facts re- garding the murder could not be ascertained, or if perchance the victim could not be identified. In both of these particulars was the jury successful, for several very material developuments have since come into vhe pos- session of the police, and the identuty of the dead man has been fully established. Among those who viewed the rer terday morning was an acquaintanc deceased, who recogaized him as Willlam Spears, living on Sixth avenue. His wife, who works at the canning factory, was noti- fled, and she immediately visited the under- takers, where the body still remained, She stuted that there was not the slightest doubt that the deceased was her husband, whom she last saw alive Sunday afternoen, at which time he stated that he was going to pick tomatoes for a gardener just out of the city; and for this reason she had felt no alarm because he did not return. She could furnish no information that would give a clue to the murderer or to what led to the awful tragedy. Sho stated that when le left he about #2 1n money, but other facts in relation to his uctions at that time show where the money went, so that there is not the slightest ground upon which to buse a robbery theory. ‘T'he animus that led to the death of the un fortunate man must be looked for elsewhere. ‘fbe inquest was finally held, but with closed doors, and all newspaper representa- religiously excluded. Neither the coroner nor jurors could be prevailed upon to reveal what transpi or what was the nature of the testimony introduced. The only resource for the reporters was to watch at the door and waylay everyone who at- tempted Lo puss either in or out. In this Wy several important facts were gleancd. 1t was learned that Spears was seen sev- eral times Monday afternoon and evening, thie last time being but about an hour before ne was killed. He was drinking heavily and was considerably under the influence of liquor. He was seen in a North Main street suloon about 4 o'clock, and agzain in the alle, in the rear of the “Red Iront,” on South Main street, avbout 6 o'clock, at Which time he was v drunk and alone. Shortly after 7 o'clock he was seen by a watchman at the Northwestern depot, in company with two or three others, and wasordered away. The party proceeded up the railroad track toward the roundhouse, and it was but little more than an hour afterward that the roundhouse cmployes heard the noise referred to in vesterday’s issue, in the direction of the Spot where the dead man’s bruised and bat- tered body was found Wednesday evening. Such are the facts, as learned from wit- nesses wio were summoned before the cor- oner's jury, regarding what trauspired dur- ing th s _preceding the murder, Suspicion natu attaches 1o those who wero with the.deceased when last scen, al- though in the ubseace of eye witnosses all evidence is neceesarily circumstantial. The police huve been devoting their efforts to looking after these partics, who, it is stated, are two brothers named Brown, and one Thomas Ralston, living in the northern part of the city. Ralston was arrested eurly yes- terdny morning by Officer Cusick. Ona of these parties, Theodore Brown, is well known to the police, and has been ar- sted numerous times for various crimes nd misdemeanors. He is said to have served one tern in the penitentiary for man- slaughter, and is regarded as a bad man, Brown, aside from being with the deceased when last seen alive, was the one who first identified the remains yesterday morning, He was very much excited, and is, quite paturally, 4b object of sbecial interest to the police just at the present vime. Under the circumstances, it is quite neces- sary to find a motive for the murder, but clews in this direction are somewhat scarce, It is alleged by one witness that there had been trouble between the deceased and the Browns, over a couple of girls who live within about a quarter of a mile of where the murder was committed, and it 18 possi- ble that this difiiculty may have culminated in the tragedy. The drunken brawl theory is not generally accevted as the correct one. The location of the spot where the brutal work was done—so fur from frequented paths aof travel, and in a lonesome tract of weeds—does not admit of such a theory. In this respect, the circumstances point to pre- meditated murder. Spears 18 alleged to have stated on Monday that he had po morey, but that he would have 85 Tuesday morning, as he was to play for a dance in the northwestern part of the city that evening. Where the dance was to have been held is not known. The case 18 a £00G one to test the detective powers of the police, and hereafter, instead of devoting their time to following the latest developments of the Cronin case, they can work to good advantage looking for the man who killed Spears. In the accounts given by some of the pa- pers it is asserted that the dead man was shot through the temple and badly cut with a knife. There is no foundation whatever for these statements, as all of the wounds found upon the head of the deceased were undoubt- edly made by the club with which the mur- der was committed. This is the opinion of the physicians who have examined the body. Whether there was more than one of the murderers is a matter of conjecture. The statement that there must have been at least three of the murderers on account of the wounds of & club, knife and pistol is all buu- combe. The coroner’s jury is carefully investiga- ting the matter, and will not return a verdicy until the facts are sifted to the bottom, e Kelley & Younkerman sell groceries, Chase aud Sanborn coffees a specihlty. - Steam and hot water heating, first-class plumbing, Work done in both cities, John Gilbert, 518 Pearl street, Council Bluffs, - Hereafter our store will be open until 9 o'clock p. m.

The republican county convention for the nomination of candidates for county offices and the state legislature met in the south room of the court house at 10:30 yesterday morning. J. J, Steadman was made tem- porary chairman. When he took the chair he made an impromptu but spirited sveech, He referred in bappy terms to the national republican triumph, and in strong language to the fact that every pledee the party had made bad been righteously fulfilled up to this present day of 1889, The industrial situatiou of the country was never so good in the history of the natiou, and this result ‘was due to the grand achievement of the peo- ple at the polls last November, The pros- perity of Iowa, past aud present, was 100 in- tumately associated with the republican party to permit of disseverance. To-day we point t0 @ state with the grandest public institu- tions and the most expensive public buildings i the union, To-day we point to & stale without a cent of indebteduess; to a state with the greatest number of public schools; with the lowest ratio of illiteracy’ and with the lowest taxes of woy of the grand commonswealths of our nation. As the party of progress in every direc- tion we can congratulate ourselves that the ticket we nominate here to-day can be elected 1f earnest harmony characterizes the work of all. Drinciples are paramount to all personal and seifish interests, and fol- lowing the grand ticket selected in the state convention let us make it a victory in Potta- wottamie county. J. H. McArthur, of Avoca, was made tem- porary secretary, Walter J. Smith moved the appointment by the chair of committees on crodentinls, resolutions ana permanent organization, who should make up their re- ports while the couvention t0ok @ recess until 2 p. m, Carried, On reconvening in the afternoon there was o much larger attendance than in the morning, every seat being occuvied and many spectators were obliged to stand. Mr. Booth, of Neola, made a short speech, after which Hon. Joseph Lyman was callea out. He told the early history of the repub- lican party in this country, and concluded by declaring that the German voters were getting tired of the way the domocrats were treating them, and were gradually coming back. ‘I'he committee on credentials reported at o'clock the names of the delegutes en- titied to seats in the convention. Four town- ships were not represented. Thoy were Lincoln, Center, Waveland and Kane av larg Neola was represented by two dele- gates, and the committee reported that each be allowed two votes. The commitiee on permanent organization reported the names of Hon. Joseph Lyman, of Council Bluffs, for chairmav, and Frank Lindsey, of Avoca, for secretary.

Freeman, of Oak- land, were nominated by acclamation as members for the legislature, The committee on resolutions then re- ported, endorsing the national republican plaifo denouncing the democratic officials of the city and county for their neglect to en- force the law, and apparent alliance with the law Qefying elvment. 1'or county treasurer, Mr. H.

For coroner, Dr. J. K. White, of Council Bluffs, was nominated by acclamation. There were four candidates for members of the board of supervisors.

The fifth biennial reunion of Crocker's celebrated Iowa brigade was brought to u most successful termination last evening with a grand banguet at the Masonic temple. Covers were laid for 500 guests, aud the tables were filled. ‘Tne hail was elaborately decorated, the stage being a bank of flowers and foliage. The national colors hung in graceful festoons from every chandelier and corner to which they could be attached. The tables were likewise handsomely dec- orated, and the scene after the guests were seated’ was a most animated and pleasing one. After the choice viands had been disposed of, General Belknap, as president of the as- sociation and master of ceremonies, an- nounced that there would be no reguiar toasts, but that the boys might call for whomsoever they pleased, but that all would e limited w five minutes, as they wanted to “whoop 'er up,” and were to be tied 1o no set of speeches, Delighttul music was furnished by the Cedar Rapids ana Omaha Glee clubs, and Mrs, Colouel Cheek, of Des Moines, favored with a pleasing solo which captured the house. J. H. MeHenry raised a_storm of applause with “Benny Have Oh.” Miss Louie MczElroy's recitation received the most en- thusiastic applause, o fitting tribute to her ability as an elocutionist. Ex-Governor Sherman and Attorney General Stone were called for and responded most fittingly. Dalbey’s band played several of their finest selections, and the trumpet and fife and drum eachh had its part in the programme, The reunion was the largest as well as the most enjoyable ever neld by the brigade. Before taps wus sounded, a number of reso- lutions, thunking the proprietors of the Ogden house for their excellent provision and kind treatment; the citizens of Council Bluffs for the extra entertainment given them, and the military authorities of the regular army for courtesies extended, were passed. Thus closed most fitingly the first reunion of the brigade in western Iowa.

The Investigation Continues to De- velop New Cases of Kraud, New ORLEANS, Sept. 19.—The nvestiga- tion by the state officials and parties inter- ested in the state seourities continues to de- velop new cases of fraud almost every day. It now appears that forgery has been added to thett in the fraudulent floating of bonds of the state through the criminality or care- lessness of the states trusted servants. In addition to $303,000 of consolidated bonds upon which intérest payments have just been stopped, and wany of which have been surreptitiously put upon the market instead of being cancelled, there bLas been discov- ered 1n private hands a pumber of 4 per cents A FAIRY 1A T I8 » Tho Latest Story Abont Dr. Cronin's Murder Denounced. Cittoaco, Sept. 10.—The morning papers all denounce yosterday's sensational story about Le Caron’s daughter havitg furnished evidence that Dr. Cronin was murdered by emissarics of the Iritish government as a plot of the so-called “‘triangle.” The Even- ows publishes the followin the story isn’t any good, supposing. it were true,” laughed Judge Longenecker, referring tothe fairy talo of lettors from Gertie LeCaron, which are said to contain the true story of the mur- der of Dr. Cronin. *The lettors are utterly inadmissavle as evidence,” ho continued, “and then, if they were, 'does that explain away the guilt of the defendants heret It Coughlin secured the white horse to drive the doctor to death, how does this story ox- cuso him? Why should Burke, who hired the Carlson cottage, escape! It is a prepos- terous story and utterly useless as a de- fense." The Jury Qurst. Curcaco, Sept. 19.—The Cronin jury quest was resumed this morning, but up to the close of the morning session no additional jurymen were secured. When called after recess it was under- stood that the attorney for Woodrufl, who is to have a separate trial, would move for the discharge of his client on the ground that the statutory time under which he is entitled 10 a hearing had passed. The states attorney arose and said to the court, ‘*“Woodruff is also held for horse steal- ing, and on his own motion that case was continued until next term. In addition on 1us motion this case was continued to August 18, and then to this term by consent, On his own showing the state has the whole of this term to try him, and under a supreme court decision can continue it until next term on showing good cause.” The matter was set for a hearing to-morrow afternoon, No more jurymen wero secured to-day. et gt MRS.

H. “Some time ago I lost all my hair in conscquence o sles, After due waiting, no n h_appeared, I then used Ayer's Hair Vigor and my bair grew Thick and Strong. It has apparently come to stay.
