FATE OF A TRAMP. Mystery Surrounding a San Rafael Tragedy, lhe Body of a Murdered Man Discov- ered Near the Depot. Ballet Bole io the Head-One of a Gang of Hard Characters From San Francisco. A Saloon-Keeper's Story. Special to The Mornimi ICC San Rafael, Jan. 6. -This morning the body of a man was noticed lying on a sewer-pipe near the Donahue railroad depot. Passers-by paid no particular attention to the man, thinking he was one of the many tramps who now infest thia locaUty. Shortly before the 8 o'clock train started for San Francisoo one of the passengers called the attention of the section boss to the man and on an investigation being made it was found that he was dea: and that in all likelihood he had been murdered, as a millet hole was found to have penetrated his forehead. Coroner Eden was immediately notified and he repaired to the scene and removed the body to tlie Morgue, where it was laid npon a slab and all day it was viewed by a motley crowd of curious people. Sheriff Frank Healy soon after the di*-*- --covery began an investigation, but with \u25a0what results it is impossible to tell. Fie has been out all day exploring the surrounding country, and all the haunts of the tramps who sojourn in this section.' but nothing of note in connection with the case, itIs be- lieved, has beon discovered. TROUBLESOME PASSENGERS. Shortly after the body was found this morning the following facts were discov- ered : On the 5 o'clock trip from San Fran- cisco seven hard-looking specimens of hu- manity, the deceased being among the num- ber, boarded the boat en route to this place. At Reeds Station they raised a disturbance on the train and after a great deal of trou- ble tj the trainmen three of the tramps were put off the train and before the signal to start up couid be given the passenger- cars were deluged with a shower of rocks and cobbles. The missiles came in a per- fect fusillade and the passengers had to sect refuge below the seat-*. Tbe train sped on aud the remaining tramps reached san Ra- fael, where tbey proceeded to celebrate their arrival. Tbey indulged in various petty tri-'ks at the depot and then repaired to a neighboring saloon, wiiere, after taking several diinks, they male aa attempt to re- lieve the propiietor of liis watch. In this they partly succeeded, as one case of the watch Is now missing. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. Virgil Escallier, tbe proprietor of the sa- loon, gives iiis story, as follows: "About 7 ! o'clcck hst night four tramps came into my saloon. Tbey seemed to bave considerable money and treated in turn. While not greatly under the influence of liquor tbey seemed quarrelsome. 1did not pay any particular attention to' them until 1 looked at my watch to compire it with lhe clock on the bar, and one of the men made a grab for it I hud a flrm bold on the watch, but the ni;:n succeeded in wresting the case from inc. They all ran out, witn the exception of tbe man who was found dead this moi ning. lie remaiued in tbe saloon for some time, and »aid lie would be abld to identity my assail- - tt :*-\u25a0\u25a0" ant." j. Several persons who reside in tiie vicininjß of where tbe man was f mnd statu that eb ut S o'clock 1 ist night, about the time at wliich tlie deceased left E-callier's saloon, tbey heard a shot bred. Xo -attention was paid to it, as it was thought that the watch- man at the IIuM Rafael was firing at tres- passing dogs. Four tramps who are serv- ing lime in tlie County Jail were brought to the Morgue to-day and identified the re- mains as those of a Swede who had occupied the same barn with them on last Saturday night. Tiiey state that he was in the barn when tbey reached it and left early on tbe following morula,?, but they were positive ac to his identification? THEORIES OF BB TRAGEDY. No pistol or other weapon having been found near tha body, various theories have been set afloat as to the cause of the oc- currence. Une is that deceased tried to stand up some passer-by and was shot down; another is that be and his compan- ions became involved in a dispute an that the deceased was murdered and bis mur- derer escaped. The latter seems the most plausible, as deceased was seen to display a pistol and considerable money, but when discovered this miming but thirty cents was found on his person and do weapon could be found anywhere in the vicinity. The position of the body when found indi- cates that the man was shot aud the body deposited where It lay this moruing. The opinion is expressed that it was a cold- blooded murder, and many acts of lawless- ness which have disturbed this town for tome time past are now being agitated, and no doubt the offenders wiil be summarily dealt with. RECENTLT IMPRISONED. Deceased was a man abc.ut 20 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height and cl-an •haven, and was dressed in a chinchilla coat, blue overalls and gaiter shoes. To- night it nas been learn d that on the train he confided to one of the passengers from whom be was trying to borrow some money that he had just been released from the House of Correction in ban Francisco. An accurate desen of the companions of the deceased could not be gained. Sheriff llealy has not as yet returned from his search, and no further developments can be given. Many of our foremost citizens have become interested, and it is thought that the Board of Trustees will be asked to appoint several additional policemen. NEARLY A MILLION, Large Fortune Left to a Woman Besiding in Glenn County. Ciiico, Jan. 6.— Last Friday L. P. Mc- Intyre, private detective, of St. Johnsbury, Vl., arrived here. lie hired a team and went over to Glenn County In search of J. JI.

The mother of the girl has since died and last July tlie father leaving his entire for- tane-oi about a million dollars to this only daughter. A detective has been searching •Ince.-the father's deatti, and finally located the:iauiily in Glenn County. Mrs. Martin for beyond years lived in this city, nm! has nearly supported her husband. They have been/living in poor circumstances, and one month ago moved to Glenn County. Mai tin, Ms wife and the detective left yesterday for SL-J-ohnsbury. Los Ange'.es Races.

World's Fair Exhibits. San Jose, J.m. 6.— Th-9 Board of Trade beld a special meeting this evening tor the purpose of arranging to have Santa Clara County represented at the World's Fair. It was decided to ask the Board of Supervisors to appoint fifteen representative citizens from all sections of the county to act with tbe board in collecting suitable exhibits to form a display of this county. Residences Burned Dvnsmi "in, Jan. 6.—The dwelline-houscs of Samuel Gongwer-aud 11. P. Williams were burned ' last night. The fire started Id Williams' house, who lost everything, 81000 on llie dwelling and $500 on the fur- gHW -aufl clothing' Gopgwer lost $1200 on the dwelling, but s.iv-sd most of the furni- ture. The insurance is light. The deep snow impeded all efforts to get the fire in so in use. The railroad boys stretched 500 feet Of hose through five feet of snow, and the big engltje in the raachiue-shop sent the water whizzing on to the nre. THE GREENWOOD MURDER. Schmidt Identified by His Portrait as Cae of the Assassins. Vallejo, .lan- 6.— Deputy Sheriff Brown- lee of Napa City was In town to-day, and in conversation with a Call reporter said that Curl Schmidt of Denver, the self-confessed murderer of Greenwood, is undoubtedly the guilty man. Brownie* had Schmidt's picture with him, and the identification was promptly made by Captain Stege, owner of a saloon one mile this side of the Greenwood residence on the Napa road, at which Schmidt ad- mitted he had stopped to take a drink. The picture was also taken by Brownlee to Port Costa, where the local constable recognized it as that of a man who passed through there the day before the murder was committed. The constable also stated that he had purchased a watch from Schmidt for 82. The Deputy Sheriff promptly telegraphed to Denver to ascertain if Schmidt Uad sold a watch to any one in Port Costa on the day iv -tun. The reply was in the affirma- tive. Brownlee is convince! that Schmidt is the man wanted. \u25a0>Tapa, Jan. o\ The photograph of Schmidt, who confessed at Denver that he murdered Mrs. Greenwood, has arrived here. Captain Greenwood after carefully examining the picture failed to identify Schmidt ns oue of the murderers, but ad- mits hat the description sent from Denver with tne picture tallies very well fur cue of the men, but in the picture ho lauds no like- ness to either of them.

Examination by the Board of Survey at Mare Island. Strict Silence Maintained ia Regard to the Affair at Valparaiso. The Sailors Confined to the Ship—Testi- mony in the Case of the Chilean Mob to Be Taken To-Day. Pperial to The Morning CALL Yat.t.f.jo, Jan. 6.— At daybreak the Bal- timore was lying comfortably In the big stone dock with twenty-seven feet of water around her, enough to float her, with sev- eral feet to spare. Just as soon as the light enabled the men to get to work the vessel was aligned, so ns to sink into the fixed props at the bottom of the dock, and then the pumps were Bet to won;. There were frequent pauses, for the dock-master was taking no risks, and at 9 o'clock there were still eighteen feet of water around the ship, whicli had now -sunk safely iuto position. By 10:30 o'clock the water was all out, and it was found that the Incrustation of barna- cles was comparatively 6light, the divers having done good work belore the ship left Valparaiso. The chief anxiety of tie authorities Is to learn how far the pitting has gone. The Balti- more hus been in commission two years, nnd has been docked twtce during that time, besides receiving a hasty scrap- ing by the divers. Ifthe plates have only- been superficially affected the Baltimore can 00 be put in trim for sea, and the minds of the builders of modern cruisers wi'.l he greatly relieved, lt is a fair test case In this particular. SMALL REPAIRS NECESSARY. So far as the general repairs are con- cerned the Survey Board went over the ves- sel to-day, and it is understood that, while there is nothing to make the ship unfit for immediate service, -here are quite a number of small repairs lo be done that may greatly prolong her stay, if nothing occurs to call for a sudden departure. The whole topic of conversation in Vallejo is bow soon will the Baltimore leave? The disbursement of something like S".00 a diy is a boon winch the local store- keepers do not like to see speedily termi- nated. Every scrap of Information about th« vessH is eaeerly snapped up and the war talk has by no means died out. For it so hat pens tbat there are hundred* of people on and around the water front of Vallejo who know Chile thoroughly and who pre- dict that the pending investigation will not be a mere gentle indorsement 1 1 tre Chilean court's* position. RE 'li.T OF CONSPIRACY. lii truth there is much r.t the very cutspt of tiie investigation that indicates an (fficial determination and ability to make out a very strong case against tbe Valparaiso moo. There is no disposition nor is there any necessity to manufacture evidence, but from all thai can be learned the volume of testimony will show thai tbe attack on the Balti ore's men was the result of weeks of conspiracy: that a wholesale mur- der was clearly premeditated; and that nothing will be gained by .i merciful or temjorizng policy. PLAN of ACTION. Lnited State? District Attorney Gnrter, Commissioner .1. S. Man r- and Oflicial Reporter Clement Bennett arrived on the morning train and promptly aid' d the Baltimore, where they were introduced to Capt tin Schley. Presently Admiral Irwin came in, and a few minutes later Com- mander Cochrane appeared In full uniform, the Admiral a.-.d Captain Schley being In fatigue uniform. Colonel Renipy, the Judge- Advocate, In civilian uniform, wai the inst in attendance. A long and earnest discus- sion ensued on tbe . --th q of admitting the press representatives to the besting, and was understrod. that an announcement would be ale on the subject later in the day. It was also decided to bold the in- vestigation in the court-room and not on board rhe vessel. After a half- hour's conference District Attorney Gaiter and Colonel R mcv decided that valuable time Would be saved by devoting tie entire dy to the preparing of a nl m of action, deferring the taking of testimony till \u25a0morrow. EXECUTIVE SESSION. The two officers tnen went into executive session In the court-room over a mass of type-written matter ceding 500 foolscap pages, which were understood to he abstracts of the evidence taken before the Chilean court in Valparaiso, and the testimony in dit.is of the American sailors During the day numerous cipher messages were wired to Washington, nnd, in fact, the soli- tary wire at Vallejo was practically blocked with such messages. Indicating how closely the Government is in touch with the authorities on the island. There are, it is said, fifty-four witnesses to be examined, and the work, even with night sessions, cannot b" completed this week. The ofii- ci.tl stenographer, Clement Bennett. is as- sisted by Mr. La man and two rapid type- writers, tbe object being to forward the tes- timony to Washington at the close of each day, so that no time may be lost in prepar- ing a case for the consideration of Con- cress. 'i be Attorney-General is said to have urged all reasonable dispatch consist- ent with a full presentation of the facts, and District Attorney Garter and Colonel Remey are beDding their energies to this end. SCHLEY A DISCIPLINARIAN. Captain Schley was much amused at the "interviews" with him published by some of the city papers on the evening of the Baltimore arrival in San Fraucisco Bay. To a Cam. reporter he Raid this morning that he had held no such interviews, and he evidently looked on California's lovely cli- mate as contributory to an exuberant growth of Imagination. He stated that in the pres- ent state of affairs, while an examination is pending and grave national interests are at stake, it would be entirely out of place for him to say a word, though he might be able to snv a great deal. "due thing 1 will state," said Captain Schley energetically. "If it bad not been for the splendid discipline of my crew, and the con- trol exercised by the officers we would have been in a fight in about three minutes." This tallied exactly with the statement of members of tbe crew, so far as they could be induced to talk yesterday, that after the riot and the murder of their comrades not even the 15-inch rifled guns In the forts of Valparaiso would have prevented them from going into action at a moment's notice. SILENCE ENJOINED. There is no question that this is the feeling among the Baltimore's men now. Captain Schley exacted a pledge from the newspaper men not to talk to the men while on the ship and the pledge was honorably kept. It was, perhaj s, the more easily kept because the wounded sailors and those di- rectly concerned in the affair at Valparaiso were placed under tiie eyes of vigilant officers in Positions where they could not bo approached, The men will not be allowed ashore for a day or two, although Captain Schley's desire Is Ho give the boys a chance as sum as possible. The expediency of keeping men under temporary restraint while so grave a question is pend- ing must be evident to any one acquainted with the temptations and impulsive dispo- sition of the sailor the world over. When the testimony has been taken the men win be allowed leave to go ashore In a place where, at all event*, they are not liable to be stabbed in tbe back and killed. The probability is that the Baltimore's men can be freely interviewed in San Francisco in- side of three days, though the inquiry may last several days longer. PRESENT INDICATIONS. To sum up the whole situation at present, so far as the eye can penetrate the veil of oflicial secrecy, the probable result of the testimony will be to show that the ani- mosity which Chileans are known to have expressed against the United States was brought to a crisis in the case of the Balti- more's sailors, nnd that the presence of so many cruisers in Chilean waters ftas aud is a wholesome necessity. It is entirely pre- mature to say that a humiliating demand will be made on Chile or a heavy pecuniary indemnity exacted, but it appears more than probable that a case will be presented such as, at the bar of nations, would justify any demand.

San Pedro Selected as a Deep-Water Bar- bor Northern Ship Canal. Washington, Jan. 6. The board ap- pointed to investigate and report upon the most available site for a deep-water harbor on the Pacific Coast reported to Congress to-day. The board says that aftor a full and careful examination it concludes that the selection of a site for a deep-water har- bor within the limits designated by the act is restricted to the harbors of Santa Monica Bay and San Pedro Bay, and Is of the opinion that San Pedro is the better of these, and submits tho alternative estimate of the co6t of breakwaters as follows: If constructed of rubble and concrete, 84,391,491; If constructed entirely of rubble, 54,126,106. As presented by the Board of Engineers, as to location and the general estimates of construction, the recommenda- tions are concurred in by General Casey, Chief of the Board of Engineers. He says the difference in the cost of the two break- waters for the sain; areas of protection is over 9700,000 in favor of San Pedro, and when the other advantages of San Pedro are considered it would seem that thd selec- tion had been properly made. THE LAKE WASHINGTON CANAL. The board of engineers Appointed to Inves- tigate and report upon the project of con- structing a canal to connect the waters of Paget Sound with Lake Washington, re- ported yesterday, and they say that the canal connecting Lake Samish and Lake Washington with the lock near Lake Wash- ington to overcome the difference of 10.5 feet In the level of the two lakes is esti- mated to cost , $4,927,230. The proposed route and project for the canal connecting Lake Washington with Puget Sound con- templates the construction of a canal 2600 feet long, 80 feet wide at the torn. 158 feet wide at the water-line and 26 feet deep, through the portage between Union Bay, in Lake Washington; and Lake Union, with a masonry lock 400 feet long, 80 feel wide and 'jr. feet deep over the sill, and With a lift of about 7*2 feet, the declining channels to connect th s canal with deep water in Lake Washington and across Lake Union, and constructing a canal of 0700 feet long, 80 feet wide at bottom and 158 feet wide at water-line, and 26 feet deep, connecting Lake Union along its outlet with the head of Salmon Bay. TWO ROUTES CONSIDERED. From the bead of Salmon Hay two routes are considered by the. board— one by tins wav of Salmon Bay and Shilshole Hay and with a lock near the sound 400 feet long, 50 feet wide and 16.6 feet deep, ami a canal 80 feet wide a bottom, 158 feet wide at tlie water line and 26 feet deep, to be constructed across the neck of land betweeu the head of Salmon Bay and Smith's Cove, with a lock neiir the sound similar to that projected for Shilshole Bay. The construction of the basin and the formation of the channel through the shoals at the outlet of the lock arc nisi, contemplated^ The estimated cost of the proposed canal between Like Washington and Puget Sound by lim two routes, not including damages for the laud submerged, is a-*, fol- lows Smiths Cove route, $3,500,000; Shi -hole Bay route, $"2,900,CX)0. The Shilshole Bay -'.'!: costs Stiuo.OOO l«ss than Smiths Cove. But upon the other hand the latter rente possesses advantage!. in that its entrance is in the harbor of Seattle, whereas the entrance of the o;ln*r is five and a half miles distant; and second! the Smiths Cove entrance and lock are less exposed to bombardment by an enemy's lleet. For some rea- ons the Smiths Cove rente is to be preferred. The report is signed by Mendel], Hand- bury and Simons, the United Mates Board of Engineers. UIK COLUMBIA ANI) WILLAMETTE. Pursuant to an act of Congress approved September 19, 1890, Major Thomas ii. Baud- bury lias reported upon the project of secur- ing twenty-five feet depth at '\u25a0•\u25a0-* water from Portland to the mouth Sf the Columbia River. Concerning the Willamette River he says: It is contemplated that the expense ol closing the chute on the south side of Swan Island will be paid from funds now available for the work under the present pr'Ject for improvement. lie submits the following estimates, viz.: Fur the Willaui- ptte—for dredging .Swan Island bar, $(18,500; Postoffice bar. $87,420. For the i'.iitiiiiin.i Kiver— St. Helens bar (additional work necessary to present dike), $-•">, *oo; Martin Island bar, $24,000; Wllker Island, 5150,000; Snag Island, 8237,000. The, total for both rivers is 8593,720, and, adding t-* ncr cent for contingencies— Sl18,744 ; and cost of one dredging- machine at St>o,oJo, tho total would reach $77-.4i>o. FRANCE EXCITED. Fears of English Aggressions in Morocco. The Fleet Dispatched. Tahis Jan. &—The troubles at present existing lo the Tangier district of Morocco and the dispatching by the llr.tisli Govern? nient of two war-ships to protect British Interests in Tangier have awakened a feel- ing in some quarters that England has the Intention of adding to her territory by forci- ble acquisition that part of the Sultan of Morocco's dominion. This feeling Is not in any degree exaggerated. Already re- ports come from Taugier which state tint the British Minister has warned the Uov- eroor that if he cannot guarantee tho safety of the city against rebel tribes the sailors will be landed from the British war-ships. This is taken by alarmists to mean aggres- sion on the part of Lin* 1 British, and the biecle to-day demands that the Government dispatch the entire Prench Mediterranean squadron to Tangier to prevent the British from carrying on' any designs of an ag- gressive character they may have formed. Tho Matin in an article on the same subject says it is rumored that the French Mediter- ranean fleet has already been dispatched to Tangier. REVOLT "i- TIIK PEASANTRY. Tano-ikk, Jan. C—The revolt of the peaaantry in Tangier again -tt the exnctlOM of the Bashaw have assumed ureat propor- tion*, threateiiini: the lives and property of European All the tourists have. left.

At'.orney-Qeneral Hunt will file a brief in the United Stntes Supreme Court Monday answering the points in that filed In behalf of the Anarch- ists Fielden and Schwab. In substance, the reply asserts that the questions involved relate wholly to the Internal police regula- tions of Illinois; thut no Federal question Is involved; the petitioner had no right to be present at the healing of the decision of the Supreme Court; it neither tried nor sentenced him, but merely passed on the record of the Cook County Criminal Court. The fixing of the day of execution is a ministerial act and the fixing of it in the absence of the prisoner is not a denial of the due process of j law. Proposed Glove Contest.

  • FATE OF A TRAMP.Mystery Surrounding a San

    Rafael Tragedy,

    lhe Body of a Murdered Man Discov-

    ered Near the Depot.

    Ballet Bole io the Head-One of a Gang of

    Hard Characters From San Francisco. j§

    A Saloon-Keeper's Story.

    Special to The Mornimi ICC

    San Rafael, Jan. 6.-This morning the

    body of a man was noticed lying on asewer-pipe near the Donahue railroaddepot.Passers-by paid no particular attention tothe man, thinking he was one of the manytramps who now infest thia locaUty. Shortly

    before the 8 o'clock train started for SanFrancisoo one of the passengers called theattention of the section boss to the man andon an investigation being made it was foundthat he was dea: and that in all likelihood

    he had been murdered, as a millet hole wasfound to have penetrated his forehead.

    Coroner Eden was immediately notifiedand he repaired to the scene and removedthe body to tlie Morgue, where it was laidnpon a slab and all day it was viewed by amotley crowd of curious people.

    Sheriff Frank Healy soon after the di*-*---covery began an investigation, but with\u25a0what results it is impossible to tell. Fie hasbeen out all day exploring the surroundingcountry, and all the haunts of the trampswho sojourn in this section.' but nothing ofnote in connection with the case, itIs be-lieved, has beon discovered.

    TROUBLESOME PASSENGERS.Shortly after the body was found this

    morning the following facts were discov-ered:On the 5 o'clock trip from San Fran-cisco seven hard-looking specimens of hu-manity, the deceased being among the num-ber, boarded the boat en route to this place.At Reeds Station they raised a disturbanceon the train and after a great deal of trou-ble tj the trainmen three of the trampswere put off the train and before the signalto start up couid be given the passenger-cars were deluged with a shower of rocksand cobbles. The missiles came in a per-fect fusillade and the passengers had to sectrefuge below the seat-*. Tbe train sped onaud the remaining tramps reached san Ra-fael, where tbey proceeded to celebratetheir arrival. Tbey indulged in variouspetty tri-'ks at the depot and then repairedto a neighboring saloon, wiiere, after takingseveral diinks, they male aa attempt to re-lieve the propiietor of liis watch. In thisthey partly succeeded, as one case of thewatch Is now missing.

    ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.VirgilEscallier, tbe proprietor of the sa-

    loon, gives iiis story, as follows: "About 7

    !

    o'clcck hst night four tramps came into mysaloon. Tbey seemed to bave considerablemoney and treated in turn. While notgreatly under the influence of liquor tbeyseemed quarrelsome. 1did not pay anyparticular attention to' them until 1lookedat my watch to compire it with lhe clock onthe bar, and one of the men made a grab forit Ihud a flrm bold on the watch, but theni;:n succeeded in wresting the case from inc.They all ran out, witn the exception of tbeman who was found dead this moi ning. lieremaiued in tbe saloon for some time, and»aid lie would be abld to identity my assail--

    tt :*-\u25a0\u25a0"ant." j.Several persons who reside in tiie vicininjß

    of where tbe man was fmnd statu thateb ut S o'clock 1ist night, about the time atwliich tlie deceased left E-callier's saloon,tbey heard a shot bred. Xo -attention waspaid to it, as itwas thought that the watch-man at the IIuM Rafael was firing at tres-passing dogs. Four tramps who are serv-ing lime in tlie County Jail were brought tothe Morgue to-day and identified the re-mains as those of a Swede who had occupiedthe same barn with them on last Saturdaynight. Tiiey state that he was in the barnwhen tbey reached it and left early on tbefollowing morula,?, but they were positiveac to his identification?

    THEORIES OF BB TRAGEDY.No pistol or other weapon having been

    found near tha body, various theories havebeen set afloat as to the cause of the oc-currence. Une is that deceased tried tostand up some passer-by and was shotdown; another is that be and his compan-ions became involved in a dispute an thatthe deceased was murdered and bis mur-derer escaped. The latter seems the mostplausible, as deceased was seen to display apistol and considerable money, but whendiscovered this miming but thirty centswas found on his person and do weaponcould be found anywhere in the vicinity.The position of the body when found indi-cates that the man was shot aud the bodydeposited where It lay this moruing. Theopinion is expressed that it was a cold-blooded murder, and many acts of lawless-ness which have disturbed this town fortome time past are now being agitated, andno doubt the offenders wiilbe summarilydealt with.

    RECENTLT IMPRISONED.Deceased was a man abc.ut 20 years of

    age, 5 feet 8 inches in height and cl-an•haven, and was dressed in a chinchillacoat, blue overalls and gaiter shoes. To-night it nas been learn d that on the trainhe confided toone of the passengers fromwhom be was trying to borrow some moneythat he had just been released from theHouse of Correction in ban Francisco. Anaccurate desen of the companions ofthe deceased could not be gained. Sheriffllealy has not as yet returned from hissearch, and no further developments can begiven. Many of our foremost citizens havebecome interested, and itis thought that theBoard of Trustees willbe asked to appointseveral additional policemen.
