FRANK BORDICK MURDERED
Discovery of His Body in Out Off Lake
Under Suspicious Circumstances.
DEEP MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE AFFAIR

The mystery surrounding the sudden ills-
nppearnnco of fTands K. Jlurdlck 1ms been
partially cleared up by the nndltif ? of his
body In Cut Off lake. The body wns found
by twq young men yesterday afternoon
nbout B o'clock in the wntcr about 150 fnct
from shore , Just Inside the cast wlro fence
tlmt dcllnes the boundaries of Courtland
heath nnd extends out into the laito.
Thefinding of the body has not served to
cigar up the mystery. There nro n number
of Circumstances connected with the case
in addition to these already printed , which
do not go to show that ho committed sulcklc.
Tho.spot where the body wns found nnd the
position It was in give color to the suspicions
of foul play.
Manager Grlfllths of Courtlnnd beach says
that Dunllck wns cjcetsd from the grounds
n'boiit 0:30 : o'clock Sunday night , and that ,
\yhllo ho wns under the Influence of llquorho
hud full possession of his faculties nnd
powers of locomotion. The gate where Bur-
dlck' wns put out of the grounds last Sunday
is located near the saloon nnd opens
oito tho' street that runs nlong the
beach grounds , the tracks of the street rail
way crossing the same. It Is said by Mnn-
ngcr Griniths that Uurdlclc was not again In
the grounds after being ejected , nnd of tills
he Is certain. . So far as Is known the last
seen of him was when ho was led out of the
gate by the ofllccr and started down the
street to the west.
liiillcntluiK ot Foul I'lny.
How Burdlcit could over have reached the
spot whcro the body was found Is n mys
tery. At the point where the beach fence
turns off Into the water Is n cove , that is n
veritable marsh. The high bo.inl fence ex
tends out nearly thirty foot , and to it is con
nected u barbed wire fence that goes out
Into the water moro than 125 foot. Around
this fence the water is not moro than three
feet In depth , alid for quiten distance from
the shore is only n marsh. Where the body
, was found the water is not moro than
three feet In depth. When noticed by the
young men the body was lying face down
ward , arms extended backward and a black
Derby hat sot squarely on the head. De
composition had already sot in and the body
was b.uily bloated. How a nun under the
influence of liquor could have scaled the
high board fence or passed through the
barbed wlro fence without tearing his
clothes , fall into the water with hands ex
tended backward , und his hat still maintain
its position on his head , is n question.
CoroneuSoybert of Council Bluffs wns In
formed of the Uncling of the body and ar
rived on the Hccne after dark. IIo made a
hasty examination , but found no evidences
of assault. Ho will hola an inquest this
morning.
Story of tlio DlanppcnriMico.
As was stated in THE BEE , last Sunday
morning Burdick ate his breakfast at Nel
son's chop house at 2105 Cumins street ,
where ho had been biauling , and taking his
own dog and Nelson's went over to the lake ,
saying that ho would return In time for sup
per. That'Wus the last seen of him alive in
this city , though in tracing his course
at Courtland beach it has been learned
that ho was there nil day nnd until
Into in the evening last Sunday.
D iring the afternoon ho filled up with beer
nt the saloons outside the grounds anil had
two or three rows with some of the hangers
on at the placoj , all of whom ho treated , at
tlio sjiuo imio displaying a largo roll of
bills.
With Two
Shortly after S o'clock in the evening , Bur
dick , accompanied by a couple of strangers ,
en term ! the grounds and commenced to in
dulge In loud talk , to the annoyance of the
guests who were about the pavilion. The
policeman on duty told them they would
have to Keep ( juiot or leave the grounds.
The two men who were witli Burdluk nub-
Bided , but ho replied that the place was a '
public resort and that he would continue
to talk if he saw lit. For a nine
the ofllccr tried to argue with him ,
but llndlng that ttio man would not listen to
reason ho was taken by the arm and
marched through the gate nt : the extreme
cast chd of the grounds , where ho was loft
to' pursue his own course. The police onlcer
who did the ejecting noticed there Hire two
( lop ! ) with liurdlck , ono a ved Irish setter
and the other a small black and'tan terrier ,
That night and the next day passed ami
Burdick did not return , but nothing was
thought of the matter by his friends on
Cuming street , they being of the opinion
that he had found congenial company and
was having a good tinfu. However , Tuesday
iiluht suspicion was aroused by the return
of the Nelson dog. The animal came
to his master's door shortly after
midnight and commenced to whine. Think
ing that ho had returned with Hurdlck , Nel
son paid no attention to the mutter moro
than to get up and lot tlio dug into the house ,
but the next morning ho discovered that the
boast had a collar around his neck , to which
was attached a city dog tag , numbered 820 ,
and of the issue of the present year.
I.iioklui ; for Ills .Muntor.
The next morning Nelson and a number of
his neighbors went over to the ucach , but
could got no tnico of liurdlck , though they
learned that In company with a coupleof
men ho hud been in Hoimlea's saloon late In
the evening and had several glasses of beer ;
that a llttlo while before mid
night they had loft the place , Bur
dick considerably under the mlluonco , of
liquor. While Nelson and his neighbors
wcro In the saloon Hurdiclc's doc came run
ning up and upon recognizing them frisked
ubuiit , oucmlng to bo greatly dellghteu.
Upon asking about'tho presence of the do ; ? ,
Henaka Informed thum that the animal had
been around his placa since Sunday night
nnd had refused to go away.
A couforcnco was hold with the Council
Illuffs police , but thu ofilcors were
at that * time unable to throw any
light upon thu disappearance of
the man , as all that they know was that ho
was ejected from the grounds and that ho
was drunk at the time. Inquiry at the resorts
along the shores of the lalio resulted In the
discovery that during the afternoon and
ovnnlnir Inst Sunday , Burdick inado the
rounds a couple of timesalways accompanied
by ono or two companions and alv ays exhib
iting considerablemouoy when ho paid for
ihe drinks ,
Burdick was a member of Nebraska Joclpo
No , 1 , Knights of 1'ythtas , and was in goou
stuwllug. Already the order has Interested
itself In his behalf and wilt do everything
possible to assist the detectives to ferret the
in.vstor.v that BurrOuuda his death.
Burdick was an old 'resident of the
city and was a widower , haying separ
ated from his wlfa sumo four years ago ,
since which tlmo ho has operated the shop
nt1U7 Cuming street , and lived In
a small room In thu rear. It Is
thought that whou ho wont to the beach
ho had fully f-M witli him , us ho had made
some large collodions the day before und
had not deposited his money In the bank.
When found he only had 73 cent * , In his
pockets. Thin strengthens the theory of
rubbery and murder.

The races at the county fntr nro creating
general Interest , but no ovrnt of this kind
has nrouscd public enthusiasm to n greater
pitch thnti an Impromptu handicap dash that
occurred nt the grounds Wednesday between
Onicer Marnoll nml a 'dark hotso , " known
in police circles as "Hilly the Fleet. " It
was a great running race. Kilo shaped
tracks nnd pneumatic tires wore "not in it"
with the uluo-coated Atnlanta of Omaha's
finest and the dark skinned Mercury who
led the dash.
No pools were sold on the event , although
2.UOO spectators watched the dash with keen
Interest. Olllcor Marnoll was handicapped
by the weight of bis brass buttons , n six
pistol nnd n luxuriant waving expanse of
whiskers that would cuino the seven Suth
erland sisters to tin their Job lot of hlrsutes
Into one big lumn of shattered supremacy
and quit the cultivation.
Onicer Marnell's l < ? ng board has always
been a source of prldo as well as the chief
characteristic of his personal individuality.
His follow ofllcers have often cast envious
glauccs at the carefully combed and well kept
capillary display that occasionally waved a
greeting to the friendly zephyrs. Wednes
day the ofllccr was confronted with u choice
of duty and pride. 116 promptly decided to
do his duty und lot his prldo at the sight of
smooth , unrunied I'oftcrlets occupy sec
ondary consideration.
Mai-null's cu try for the exciting foot race
was precipitated bjr a breach of table
etiquette on the part of Billy McDonald , n
colored gentleman , young In years and fleet
In foot. Blllya"embezzled" n sandwich and
divers other articles of food nt ono of the
booths. Ho was arrested , but unon being
oscortnd to the pa'trol box ho broke
away nnd started on n. run , pursued
by. Ofllcer Marncll. The race grow
exciting. Over the grounds , nt a
rapid break , sped the fleeting sandwich
thief and the exasperated policeman. At
this juncture the wind struck the lattor's
whiskers. It grew cloudy. Suddenly the
negro ran Into a barbed wire
fence , which stopped his flight and held him
captivo. Ofllccr Marnoll rushed madly on
in the pursuit , and , blinded by the excite
ment , also wont "under the wire , " or rather ,
into the barbed fence. Ho got his man ,
however , nnd notwithstanding the fact that
the barbed wire fence gently plucked n few
handfuls of his whiskers , ho landed the of
fender in Jail mm received the congratula
tions of the spectators on his marvelous
sprinting ability. *

nnd Ionc3ltte < l I'nlillc.
The outlook forttur fi-ccnt faro across the
bridge to Council Bluffs is not nearly so
bright ns the frlomls-ot the proposition hnvo
hoped for. For some reason or ether some
of the members of the city council nro not
favorably disposed toward the movement
nnd this hns In n measure resulted In the do *
lay.At
At n recent meeting of the council Mr.
Elsasscr Introduced nn ordinance flxln ? the
fare on the Council Bluffs motor trains to
the Iowa line at 2 cents , ami the same was re
ferred to the special coinmlttoo on brldco fnro ,
composed of Klsas.icr. Howcll and Wheeler.
Mr. Elsiissor is prepared to report upon the
'
ordinn'rico. and favorable to Its passage by
the council. Air. Howcll lias not been an
enthusiastic supporter of n fi-ccpt faro bo-
twccn this city and the Bluffs , nnd has not
signed the report , nlthough ho has not ns
yet snld that ho would not. Mr. Wheeler
igout * of town , nnd ho Is known to bo any
thing but nn enthusiast for the reduced fare.
It seems like an Impossibility to secure an
other conference of the committees of the
two cities. The Council Bluffs people main
tain that It is within the power ot the
Omaha council to bring nbout a reduction of
the ! . faro , and that very quickly. Council
man Saunders , In Invcstignllng street rail
way J franchises , found that the Bridge Motor
company Is 'running Its trains over the
streets' ' In this city without author
ity. Ho discovered that while the company
had leased the tracks from the street rail
way company that such could not bo legally
done without tlio consent of the tnavor nnd
council , which has never been securednor for
that matter solicited.
Of i this state of affairs the Council Bluffs
committees wcro nwaro , and at the confer
ences referred to the fact with a suggestion
that the bridge company officials bo given a
ro length of time in which to reduce
th fato'to f > cents , and tn case this was not
do that the Omaha city authorities take
th matter in hand and stop the running of
cars on the streets of Omaha until the de
mand for a 0-cent fnro wus compiled with.
Thu Omaha committees did not tnko to this
proposition with any display of activity or
relish and it was not again referred to.
reU The question of n 5-cent faro Is entirely In
the hands of the Omaha city council , and
can ! bo settled by that body in case it is so
disposed. Mr. Elsasscr will report upon the
2-cunt faro ordinance nt the next meeting in
case Mr , Wheeler , who is out oC the city , re
turns in time to sign thu report. When the
ordinance comes uu for passage there will bo
n lively fight and both sides are confident of
"Tlmo Is .Money. "
If you want to save time nnd money
when you go to the fair you will go via
the Grout Rock Island route. Why ?
Because it is the only line via which
you can reach the'fair without a transfer
through the city of Chicago. If you
will stop and think , this over , got ono of
our maps showing location of " the
grounds in connection with our line at
Englewood , you will see that as a
World's fair lino'wo lead all others. If
you go via any other line yon will have a
tiresome , tedious' trip across the city to
roach the fair grounds , and on arrival '
there .will find friends who loft Omaha
sarnb day as yourself who have been on
the grounds an hour or moro. Call at ,

OUR BELOVED
LITTLE ONES
BLESS 'EM , " " " -
The average American youngster acquires more practical
knowledge in one year than his foreign cousin docs in three
thanks to our most perfect and world-renowned school
system , and more so to our encouraging American mothers.
At every beginning of the school season you will find these
sensible and proud mothers squirm in order to dress their be
loved boys becoming , neat and holiday like. The boy be
comes proud and finds goinq to school a source of pleasure ,
equally as well as his father , who is the school director.
Of course , to please a boy in his appircl is no easy task , we
admit. The best you can do in order to avoid a good deal of
inconvenience , ' bring him to introduce
us , him to one of our
polite salesmen , who will show you a few hundred different
shades and fabrics. When you sec 'em all , you can depend
on seeing everything under the sun. After selecting your
choice you needn't look elsewhere for his hat , shoes , waists ,
underwear and all else. We have 'em in abundance , of every
description and every price.
We still chatge for a good knock-about suit , $ i. Our $1.60
and $2 suits are finer than last year make splendid school
suits. But the suit that makes all the clothiers grumble , is our
leader , that famous $2.50 one. Got 'em made up better and
cheaper this year , because of so many unemployed tailors in
New York. Beautiful patterns and firm , solid colors , cheviot
and cassimere materials. " $3 , $3.50 and $4 suits are made of
genuine Scotch and Irish homespunsthat'll wear like cast iron.
Our finer grades range up to ,7.25 ; that's the best the world
produces.
In fancy apparel we show the newest of reefers ; according to
the "Juniors' Monthly" fashion plate.
Next , of course , you want a hat to match. Show you a few
hundred dozen of beauties. A good cloth hat for 250 , and a
fine one for 350 ; then as fine as you like to have.
Next "Shoes. " We carry the kind that are rough on the
boys and you don't shoe store
pay prices either goc for a
splendid school shoe , finer in proportion 'till yon reach $2.00.
Our latest catalogue contains samples of boys' wear ; it will
pay you to go through it. If you have not one send your
address.
