THE VICTIM ,
Aa all the parties present at the
line the blows were inillictod have
mt little knowledge of the English
inguago and were frightened beyond
escriptlon at the attack made upon
heir old companion , it was'with
real difllculty that the true story of
bo assault could bo ascertained.
The following are the facts , as near
a could be learned by our ropresenta-
Ive : The old man's name is Jens
omen. He Is a Dane , and only
nmo to this country in April last ,
> n Saturday ho moved with hia fain-
y. conaisting of hia wife , a daughter-
i-Iaw and ono son to a house owned
y Nolaon. An older son is employed
n the railroad , and is absent from the
Ity , Jensen had no regular employ ,
tent , but was accustomed to secure
rift-wood down on the river side and
at it up for homo use , \ostor-
ay ho wont down to the river as
sual , and was engaged In chopping ,
hen suddenly a wild-looking young
ian ran up to where the choppers
ore engaged and attempted

water near by. Some of the choppc
refused to lot hita take the boat , wh
ho seized an axe and with loud oat
aworo ho would
SLAUGHTER THE
All ran away except Jensen , wl
failed to understand what waa goii
on. The desperado then mndo an a
tack on him , knocked him down wli
the ax and then seized a hatchet lyii
near by and proceeded to carve tl
old man to pieces.
When ho had satisfied his brutal it
ho ran up to the bridge and attempt
to cross it when arrested as befoto d
scribed. The affair occurred nei
A. J , Clark'a sawmill , just north <
the bridge , and was witnessed by tl
men employed there , eorao of whoi
ran to the assistance of Jensen an
others in purauit of hia assailant i
quickly as they could. It was ono i
these , Frank Morton , and a ma
named Jim Murphy and ono Wcs
who followed the man out on tl ;
bridge and assisted in his arrest.
THE DEBFEIUDO ,
On reaching the jail the prison !
was or feigned to bo so exhausted thi
ho could not speak. From papei
found on his person , however , it wt
discovered that hia name was Fran
Hughes ; that ho ia a painter by tradi
and worked on the Paxton hotel.
llo boarded at the St. Charles hoto
where ho came Juno 31 , and lie we
regarded by those connected with th
hotel as an extremely quiet yonn
man. Nothing detrimental waa know
of him. Ho drank occisior
ally and Sunday night and ycatei
day ho waa intoxicated , whic
undoubtedly i ia the cause of .his pret
ont unenviable position. Hughes wa
readily identified as the ono who teethe
the valise at the depot , and it wo
probably fear | of arrest therefor the
mulu him run down on the bottot
ind endeavor to reach the other aid
by boat. His attack was entirely un
provoked , and as the chancea of Jon
ion's death are great , Hughes ia in
aad fix. On hs ! person was found
