WOMAN KILLED
Victim of an Awful MarJer Found
I In Wrft In Sr-mrM Wxrfl.
JUGUUR VEIN SEVERED
While Her Identity Is Known
Officers Art Baffled to Ap-
; prebend Guilty Party
A switchman In the International and
Great Northern yards found the body of
a white woman lying In the woods yes-
terday evening shortly before o'clock In
the rear of Burke's cement house Just
north of Commerce avenue near the rail-
way yards. The body was In a clump of
weeds and only for the fact that the
switchman was on top of a box car at the
time was he enabled to see It
An investigation disclosed that the wo-
man had been stabbed twice In the left
side of the neck. The Jugular vein was
severed.
From all appearances she was the vis-
um of murder and the deed must have
been committed Sunday night or before
daylight yesterday morning.
A number of officers from the police
station togethsr with Justice of the
Peace McDonald went out and made In-
quiries concerning who the woman was
and finally ascertained that her name
was Nlsh Wslter.
She had been living with a negro wo-
man by the name of Sarah Howard
whose house Is about half a block from
the place where the body was found.
The body presented a grewsome sight.
Files swarmed about the wounds and ants
were crawling all over the flesh and
clothing and putrefaction had set In.
She was clothed tn a loose wrapper and
had no hat. There was only a little spot
of blood beneath the bead where it had
trickled from the wound running around
the neck. There v." era no trace of blood
on the wrapper nor any trace on the
weeds. On the right hand was a small
trace of blood. An empty flask which
had contained whisky was found near
the remains but nothing that could have
inflicted the wounds was to be found.
OFFICERS ARE BAFFLED.
Last night City Detectives Murphy and
Kessler Assistant Chief Howard and Of-
ficers Frame and Fuller worked on the
case until a late hour but without find-
ing any satisfsctory clew. In fact the
more they worked on the case the deeper
the mystery grew.
Sarah Howard the woman with whom
shs lived stated that she bad left the
house at 7 o'clock Sunday evening and
that was the last she saw of her. Be-
fore leaving ths house she had been
standing on the gallery talking to a man
and they left together.
Other parties made statements to the
effect that they bad seen her at different
times from that time up until after i
o'clock Monday morning.
The officers are inclined to the belief
that the woman was murdered at some
other place and carried to the place
where she was found.
From the fact tbat there were no traces
of blood on the weeds end only Blight
spots on the clothing. It Is not believed
that she could possibly have been killed
at the place where she was found.
It Is stated that when a Jugular vein
Is severed the blood gushes out In a
stream and that had such a wound been
Inflicted at this place there would have
been traces on the weeda.
It Is also stated that her clothing must
undoubtedly have been changed after the
crime was committed from the fact that
there were but a few specks on the wrap-
per. There were no evidences of a struggle.
She was lying flat of her back with the
left arm crooked about the head while
the right was lying across the breast
and the face was calm and unruffled.
The wrapper was down to the feet and
gave the appearance of having been
smoothed out after the body was placed
on the ground.
With these things confronting the offi-
cers they began the tedious Job of try-
ing to unravel the mystery. They got
bold of many threads nut they are so
contradictory that but little ean be mads
of the care.
BEEN BY NEGRO BOYS.
Five little negro boys who live In ths
neighborhood give perhaps the clearest
story but their story does not conform
to the general surroundings. They statu
that thsy were going up the Interna-
tional and Great Northern yards some
time after I o'clock and they saw a imsa
and a woman standing Inside tbe yard
near where the body was found.
About ths time they were passing they
state the headlight of a locomotive light-
ed up the yards and only for this they
would not have seen the eouple. The
man they state wore Jumpers and a soft
hat while the woman wore a dress which
appeared to be white. - -
When they passed the man threw his
srm about the woman's neck and hid
his head on.- her shoulder. The move
from their description showed that the
man was trying to hide his Identity.
After they passed on they started Into a
run they saw the man grab one of the
palings off the fenre and thinking that
he Intended to strike them they lost no
time in getting away from the place.
WHAT OTHERS SAW.
From the time given by the negroes
Officers Voss and Smith who were rid-
ing down near the Bering mill saw a
man with a woman and It must have
been a few minutes before he win seen
by the negroei. The description of the
man given by the negroes does not tally
with that given by the officers.
After the officers had seen the couple
they rode down to the saloon near Ber-
ing's mills and the bartender nt the place
told them that he had seen a man skulk-
ing up through the yards In a run. The
officers are used to such things arid t
the time did not pay any uttention to It.
A bartender at the corner of Congrens
avenue and St. Emanuel street states
that he saw the woman In a hack with
another woman after o'clock in the
morning. He did not know the other
woman and paid no attention to the
driver who stopped at the side and went
into the saloon to use the telephone.
A white woman who lives near the mill
states that she saw the woman after 12
o'clock. She was In a buggy with a man
and they drove up to the saloon near the
nnL Bits got out .after the man toad
kissed her and given her some money.
" bought something.
A man who runs a saloon near where
the woman lived stated that he saw her
after T o'clock. She wan walking in the
direction of the place where the body was
found. At that time he says she wore
what appeared to him to be a red waist
and block skirt. He saw her after the
body was found and states positively that
she had changed clothing us she did
not have on the wrapper when he saw
her. It Is the opinion that she was
murdered aud her clothing changod
afterward.
A negro woman who live around the
corner from Sarah Howard' say that
she saw the woman after I o'clock and
spoke to her. At that time she was com-
ing out of a saloon next door to where
she lived and had a bottle of whisky tn
her hand After leaving the saloon she
went Into Sarah's she states.
STORIES DON'T AQREE.
The story of this later woman does not
conform to that of the Howard woman
who states positively that the woman
left the place about 7 o'clock.
It would appear that It the deed was
committed st the time the negro boys
saw the couple all the other people are
mistaken about having seen her later In
the night.
But then comes the fact that there
was no blood on the grass or weeds and
the evidences that the murder was not
committed at tlss place where the body
was found.
The Howard woman does not know who
the man was that left the house with
the woman. Tbe white woman who states
that she saw the woman getting out of
a buggy after lz o'clock states that she
would know the man again If she saw
him but could not tell his name.
AMONG VICTIM'S EFFECTS.
Among her effects which were scant
were scraps of a letter she had received
from Ellis F. Walter. The letter was
written on a letter heed which showed
that Kills F. Walter Is a butcher and
that his place of business Is MB Lake view
street San Antonio. From the language
of the letter the man is a brother of the
dead woman.
6h lias two children. It seems whom
he Is taking cure of and the letter was
concerning their welfnre. It appears that
Nlsh Waller bud been married but tbat
her husband is dead. The letter made
an appeal that she get married and set-
tle down and do something for the chil-
dren. A scrap of a letter that the woman
had started to write on September I and
addressed to Ellis Walter makes the
statement that he and his wife can not
adopt her children but what Is meant by
that must be left to conjecture.
A sister of the woman lives on Buffalo
street but she could throw no light on
the affair.
The woman had been living with the
negro about a week. The negro woman
states that she did nolkswe any clothes
of her own und that shs? let her wear
hers and that she ate with her.
The body was taken to the undertaking
establishment of Wright and la being held
for further orders.

Job Served God for Naught?" These
words were thoso of the devil !n a con-
versation with the Lord concerning Ills
servant Job In which the prince of dark-
ness challenged tbe Almighty One to al-
low him to disturb the man of God In
his paradise. "
The preacher pictured the meeting of
the two God Almighty and his (atanlo
majesty when the devil In reply to a
query from God a to where he had been
replied that he had returned from going
up and down In the earth how the Lord
.asked if he had considered His servant.
Job and how th devil admitted that he
had and was forced also to admit that he
had found no fault tn th faithful niu.i;
then how the wlley one taunted the Lird
with the words "Doth Job serve God for
naught?" adding that if he wer permit-
ted to tak hi property and pleasures
from him he would curse God to HI face;
how at length the Lord. In the presence
of the shining ministers of light ac-

Miss Gannon Secy Detroit Amateur
Art Association tells
do to avoid pain and suffering caused by
female troubles.
" Dear Mrs. Ptnttrax I can conscientiously noommend Lydla. IV
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with
female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I suf-
fered for months with general weakness and felt so weary that' I bad
hard work to keep up. I had shooting; pains and was utterly miserable.
In my distress I was advised to use Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first dose
for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed
woman perfectly well in every respect. I felto elated and happy that
I want all women who suffer to get well as I did." Miss Gctla Ganmow
859 Jones St Detroit MicL Secretary Amateur Art Association.
It is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that lydla E.
pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly cure tbe sufferings
of women; and when one considers tbat Mis Gannon's letter Is
only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually
publishing la the newspapers of this country the great virtue of Mrs. Pink-
ham's medicln must be admitted by all I and for the absolute cur of all kinds
of female ill no substitute emu possibly take Its place. Women should bear
this important fact in mind when they go into a drug store and be sure not
to accept anything that Is claimed to be " Jtiat as good " as Lydla E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound for no other medicine for female ills baa
made so many actual ctsre.
How Another Sufferer Was Cured. .
Dxar Mrs. Pinkham : I cannot praise your wonderful remedies'
enough for they have dotirf me more good than all the doctors I have
had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles
was very weak could not do my house worky also had nervous pros-
tration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and
night My neighbors thought I could never recover but thanlu to
your medicine I now feel like a different woman.
" I feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydla E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound to all. It has now been four years since
I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety-
eight pounds at that time ; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-three.
"I- consider your Vegetable Compound the finest remedy made.
Thanking you many times for the benoflt I received from your medicine
I remainYours truly Mrs. J. IL Farmrr 2809 Elliott Ave St Louis Mo."
Remember Mrs. Pinkham's advice is free and all sick women
are foolish if they do not ask for it. She speaks from tbe widest
experience and bas helped multitudes of women.

trial began to come not "singly but
In battalion." First on ineassr.ger and
then another came bringing news of ths
destruction of the herds the caravans
and In each Instance the only on spared
was he who brought the bad new. Final-
ly the last runner arrived on the scene
when the other messengers have each in
turn related their tales of woe and cap
the climax with the news that the wind
from the wilderness smote the four
corners of the" house where were gath-
ered all Job's children and the entire
company was sliln leaving only one ser-
vant to tell the tale. Job Is deeply
stricken and mourns after the fashion of
the day shaving his head und putting
on sackcloth anil ashes but in It all he
cried "The Lord gave the Lord halh
taken away; blessed be the name ot the
Lord." The remainder of the story was
gone over and the Uithful servant of
the Lord waa finally pictured sitting on
the dung hill scraping himself with a
piece of pot meial his body one mass of
sores. The preacher showed how greit
a trial It was when Job's own wife urged
him to curse (tod und die. and flnall
how .when the "comforters" whom he
calledvthe "theologians" came and dis-
couraged him. In spite of it all Job re-
frained from sin nor charged God fool-
ishly crying In the midst of his affllo-
tlon "Though He slay me yet will I
trust In Him."
Rev. Mr. Green stated that he had no
patience with the doctrine that the Lord
sent trouble upon His children saying
'that he could not worship a God whose
pleasure It was to uffllct man. Never-
theless he believed that the Lord oft.
times permitted the tempter to try men
In various ways tjoth for their own good
snd for the vindication of His name and
the Gospel's. In every instance however
God does Just what is best for all con-
'cerned.
In conclusion Job the man come up
out of great affliction was pictures his
happy family nstoreil his flocks and
herds twice as large and his fortune dou-
bled In every respect. Moreover Job had
become a chnrncter that was to Uv in
