Grand Island dispatch to the Omaha I lee:' From all the evidence that has mi far ls*en discovered, it ap|>ears that a cold-blooded murder was committee in this city last night. A young man, supposed to be: Charles Klliott of Suth erland, Mo., was found dead in the west end of the I*nIon Pacific yards this morning, his head badly cut, but otherwise unmangled.

It is said to lie double wlmt it was last year at this time, and well posted railroad men say they do not think the grain move ment has fairly commenced. Railroad courtesy in the matter of foreign emitles is already beginning to lie subjected to severe strain. The local agents here are transferring a largo number of ears, and the Missouri Pa cific and Klkliorn people complain of the scarcity of men who are willing to work for #1.50 per ear.
