When the Burlington freight train from the west , due here at noon \-ester- day , pulled into the depot a man was found in one of the empty freight cars lying in a pool of blood , with three gap ing wounds in his throat. He was un conscious and in his right hand was tightly gripped a bone-handled razor. Everything indicated that the man had attempted suicide , but when revived at St. Joseph's hospital he told a story that showed he had been the victim of a murderous assault by a colored man who had been his fellow traveler. The colored man's name , he said , is Walker. Walker jumped from the train after the assaulr. The wounded man gives the name of Thomas Johnson and his home at McCook , Neb. His injuries , while serious , are not thought to be necessar ily fatal. Johnson's story is that he boarded the freight car at McCook to come to Omaha to seek work. He had a few dollars and a watch , which he hid 011 his person. At a small way station a negro , who told him his name was Walker , entered the car. Walker told him he was going to Omaha , where he lived. The negro , he said , plied him with all kinds of ques tions and finally learned from him that he had a watch and money. Walker was apparently friendly until the train approached Omaha , when he demanded that Johnson hand over to him his valu ables. He accompanied the demand by the drawing of a razor. Johnson refused to accede to the demands and the negro rushed at him and the two clinched and fell to the floor of the car , Johnson be ing under. While lying ou the floor the negro cut Johnson's throat from a point back of the right ear to the chin. Johnson , however , managed to stagger to his feet , but was again knocked down by the negro , who slashed his throat twice. Although weak from loss of blood , Johnson says he grappled with the negro and succeeded in wresting the razor from him and inflicting a wound on the negro's face. He then fell un conscious from loss of blood. He thinks the negro waited until the yards in this city were reached , and then jumped from the train. Before leaving the negro robbed him of all his posses sions. Wednesday's Omaha Bee. $5OO for Good Guessing.
