Watson, EVIDENCES OF FOUL PLAY DISCOVERED His Coat and Vest Found at Sliver City Cut and Slashed—His Grip and Samplo Case Robbed ot Their Contents Also Found. Where is B. L. Watson? What has been his fate? The attempt to solve the myster caused Silver City to bo in a state of intense excitement yosterduy, and residents of the little town and vic inity de ed their time and energies to trying to solve the mystery which scemed to indicate that a fearful tragedy had occurred. Mr. Watson is a travoling salesman and collector for the Lmpkie-Shugart company of Council Bluffs, His homo is in Shelby, and he was just finishing a short trip, reaching Silver City Saturday. He planned to take the freight train at that station at 12 o'el aturday night for Council Bluffs, so that he might reach here Sunday morning in time to eatch the Rock Island train for his home in Shelby At the hotel in Silver City he bade goodb to “the boys." saying that he would go down to the depot and see if he could get the train, which was often behind tim This train is not scheduled to stop at Sil City, but if it is flageed it allows passengers 10 get onto the caboose. The agent does not open the depot for this midnight freight, so that the opportunity for such a deed of rob- bery and murder as is thought to have oceurred was most favorable. dence of Murder. From the time of his departure_from the hotel to the prescnt he hus not been scen, ISarly yesterduy morning some one noticed that ort of u garment was lying under the edgo of the depot platform, and on its being pulled out it proved to be a coat, one side of which was slashed as if by a knife. A vest was also found, and it, too, was slashed in iike manner, and hanging to a_button- liole was the fragment of o watch chain, ap- parently broken in a strupgle, while from the bar hung o Knigats of Pythias charm ith the namo of B. L. Watson upon it. Near these gavments vas found his sample case and grip, the latter of which had been rifled. Therc were no valuables found, and tho condition of the garments, which wero speedily identified s those belongmg to Watson, indi ed plainly that there had Leen foul play and robbery. One strang feature of “the findings, how was the absence of uny blood, 1f Watson had been stabbed, as indicated by the elothing, why was there not some bloody evidences of the crume? Then, too, there was au iron bar discovered lying in sucl: eclose proximity as to make the conjecture plausible that it had been used by his assailauts, as it was bent as throush the result of a heavy blow. A little further off Watson's nat was picked up. arching for t Wias at once enters body, as by this time it was pretty well set- tled “thata murder had been committed. Parties started out in every direction, but uptos liate hour last night no trace wus found of the missing man. Watson had with hiw about £100 of the firm's money as shown by his little passbook which was ieft in his grip, and which showed the collections he haa made up to the time of his disappearauce. Ho doubuess had some other money of his own, but probably not a large amount. Watson' was @ man of cady habits, and there is nothing in his history to warrant the least suspicion that he has disappeared voluntarily. £ He was about 33 years of age. and some years ago was in the employ of P. C. DVl in this city. Later he moved to Sholby where he was for some time i the hardwar business for himself. On the Ist of lust Jan- uary he entered the employ of the Emplie- Shugart company. He has always been found to be straight every way. and his em- ployers scout the jaea that there could pos sibly be any motive, either commercial or domestic, for voluntary disappearance. He carried a life insurance of $3.000 in the New York Life, and had carried it for over four years. o Body. 1 iuto for the Search Latest News from Sliver City. Fred Empkie returned from Silver City ast evening and brought vack all the infor- mation that could be obtained, As meagre as it is, howevor, it adds weight to the con- viction that Watson has been foully dealt with. The tram that_he went to takea tthe dark ana lonely little depot for Council Bluffs Was Gue at the station_at midnight. but it was two hours late. Watson remained at the hotel until after midmght plaving cards with some of the people there, At 1 o'clock the hotel was closea and Watson started alone to the depot with a lantern to flag the wain. The last thing found yesterday was his hat, and this w covered lying in the weeds about twenty-five fect from the end of the platform between the hotel and depot. Near by it they found a por- Ui of his wateh ehain, The vest and cont and grips were found in the weeds under the platiorm at the opyosite end, 150 feet fron the point where the hat lay. Near them was found the bentiron bar. "1t was a round bar, five-eights of an inch thick and three or four feet long. At the opposite end of the platform was another similar bar, Neith of the bars belouged about the piace. The theory 18 that ne saulted where his hat was found, being knocked senseless with 't his cout wiis slashed with a knife to get at his wateh, As he lefu the hotel he wus observed to button up his coat closely as the night air was chilly. The two iron bars indicute two assailants. Oue bar was dropved where the assault was made and the other was carried along with the grips. The wallet which contained his money he always carried in his inside coat pockst, His collections were not noted in g pass book as first vcported, but on the stub ot his eipt book which he carried in his grip with his other stationery. The last re- ceipt which he had given in Silver City was for §10.

When the groceryman delivered the aay’s supplies at the Morgan residence on Second avenue the children begged fora ride, and with the consentof their mother the driver took them a short distance on his rounds. When hecame into the neighbor- hood again he put them out in sight of their home, a block nway, and supposed they would find it.

A numberof Gypsies and In aians had passed through that portion of town during the morning, and a_dreadful suspicion arose that the children had been Kidnaped. A systematic search had been commenced, but before the ussistance of the police of the two cities had been called, the children had been discovered on ‘Twenty- ninth street, nearly two miles from home, One was 2 and the other b years old.

After hearing testimony, the oficer was repri- manded, . The feature of the evening was the trial of Detective Vizzard, charged by his fellow ofticer, Detective Vaughn, with having made illegal charges for beinging back n fugitive from justice. Vaughn was surrounded with his attorneys and a stenographer. Space forbids general mention of the testimony. Vaughn's side presented a Jotter from tho private secretary of Governor Boies of low showing the method of sccuring the extra- dition papers for tho prisoner, but the board deciined to admit the lotter as testimony. Beforecommencing the taking of tostimony Judge Duffie, who represented Detective Vizzard, “stated that he belioved that the board had no jurisdiction in this case under the rules set forth in section 831, chapter xxx, ofthe Nebraska code. Judge Duffe said that the auditor of the state had evi- dence before him that the account rendered by Vizzard was correct and that the board could not investigute- the acts of u state official.

Judge Duftie contended that Detective Vizzard was acting as agent for the governor of Nebraska and not as o police ofticer of Omaha whilo he was out of the state after a fugitive from justice with requisition papers, The board gdecided to take testimony and Vaughn was placed on the stand, He said: It was either the Sth or th of July I was sitting in the office with Sergeant Haze, and Vizzard came in with a paper and said he wanted to getall he could out of the case.

The defense wanted to sliow * that these charges were not made in good faith. Two Birds with One Stone. Commissioner Hartman said it had been the practice of the board to admt all kinds of testimony and Strickler said he was will- ing to have everything admitted. Vaughn's attorney wanted longer time to prepare a defense to those charges which Luve been found against Vaughu in overcharging the state. Mr. Hartman said_that if anything came out aguiust Vaughn they would probubly him onto the carpet. thought this was a chance to kill two_birds with one stone. Vaughn then suid that he never had any passes on the trip to Baltimore, He said ho st ped _in Pittsburg about twenty-four hours. He said tnat he stopped to sleep there because he bad stayed upall night, and he did the same thing in Chicago. Chief Haze was then put on the stand. His testimony against Vizzard was simply an echo of Vaughn's.

Haze admitted that he had traveled on railway passes and chirged full fare to the state. Ho could not swear whether other ofticers followed this custom, Haze Says “They Ail Do It,” He thought that this was Vizard's firsy trip out of the state after a fugitive.

Chairman Wilson drew out the fact that although Bermuda had paid since the pas- sage of the MeKinley law 815000 per year 1n tariff duties to thoe United States, ngainst 0,000 previous to that time, the valuo of lands had not fallen in Bermuda. The land is hield by old residents and littlo was on the market. If there was a forced sale he thought the prosent situation would show itself. Mr. Watson said that Bermuda was cnubled to settle the heavy balances of trade against her because the British gov- crnment had lately expended great sums in fortifications; visitors spent money in Bor- muda, and_money was derived by wealthy residents from foreign iuvestments, and ail combined to enable Bermuda to settle the adyerse balances Mr. Dalzell asked whether the McKinley bill had kept the product of Bermuda out of the United States. “No," replied Mr. W. h “iam afraid we son, shaking his re obliged to send our products atany sacrifize. The point where the Unitod States suffers is in de- creased exportation to us, We cannot buy s0 much,” Mr. Watson, in conclusion. proceeded with an argument, as he said from the data he had proesented, but Chairman Wilson stopped him saying that the committeo would dra w its own conclusions, “The committee then took a recess until o'clock. 12 Almirlan Grapes. E. L. Goodsell, a New York importer of Almirian grapes or, as they are commonly known, white or Malaga grapes, appeared at 2o'clock. Almira is u small shipping point on the Mediterranean sea between Valencia and Malaga. ‘The duty before the enact- ment of the McKinley bill was 20 per cent ad valoren. It was changed by the McKin- ey bill to a specific duty of 60 cents per by rel, worth about #1.40. ~ Mr. Goodsell avguod for'a reduction toa specific auty of 25 cents per barrel, “claimiag that an ad_valorem | duty was impracticable, masmuch as tho grapes were sold at public auctipn in New York on account of the grower and, after the freight and duty charges had been de. ducted, the balance was remitted to the grow Mr. Dalzell—Then the growers pay the tarifl tax? “Most assuredly; but we o from the Ameri price Mr. Goodsell said he did not advocate plac- ing thesc grapeson the free list as hoe be- lieved these importations could and should puy a fair and equitable tribute to the coun- try. Were the graves put on_the free list, however, he did_not believe the domesti product would suffer. If the duty was re- duced or grapes ~ere placed on the free list the importation would increase to 400,000 barrels, Were importation to increase to this point the price per barrel would de- crease 50 cents on account of the larger sup- ply, and the grapes would be placed within tho reach of many people now debarred. He denied that tho retail price of these grapes had ruled lower since the passage of the Me- Kinley bill. 5 Mr. Payne nsked whether, coming as an mporter, he did not come before the commit tee in his own interest. *Certainly,” rephed Mr. Goodsell, “it is not a pro bono publico matter with'me. 1 come here from_ purely selfish _motives for myself and the Spanish grower.” The committee adjourned until tomorro w morning, when R.
