STRUNG BONES FOR HOLMES
Story of a Man Who Articulated Three
Skeletons for the Murderer.
BODIES TAKEN FROM THE DARK ROOM
Cmlnicn round IylnK on

CHICAGO , July 28. Inspector Fltzpatrlck
believes It to bo certain that at least three
murders were committed In the "Castle" of
Holmes , and through witnesses that were
found yesterday It Is thought now that
Holmes can be convicted of murder In this
city. The police have found a man , whose
name they refuse to divulge. He told the
police that he hacl mounted three skeletons
for Holmes , and that the skeletons were
from bodies taken from Holmes' Sixty-third
street house. One of these vvas that of a
man and the others were women. They
were taken from a dark room In Holmes'
house In ibe night , and bvo of the mounted
skeletons were returned to Holmes. The
third skeleton Is now In the possession ol
Inspector Fltzpatrlck. The bones of the bodies
ies had not been "fleshed" when the bodies
were given to the now witness , but the
faces were so badly lacerated and torn that
Identification would have been Impossible.
The police also found an expressman who
vvas able to give what the police think Is
Important testimony. The name of the ex
pressman Is Charles Humphrey , and In the
month of June , 189J , he was hired by
Holmes to deliver a box and a trunk at the
union depot In this city. The box , according
to Humphrey , was taken from a dark room
and had the appearance ot a coffin box
This was expressed to Philadelphia , while
the trunk was sent In another direction.
The story of the man who prtlculateJ thi
skeletons Is to the effect that In June. 1893
ho was sent for by Holmes , who at thai
tlmo was going under the alias of G or dan
and asked If he would articulate the skele
ton of a rr.Jn whose body was In the pos
session of Holmes. He accepted the job , an ;
was taken by Holmes to a room which woult
have been dark even In daytime. Stretchei
out on a table In the mUUle of the roon
was the body of a man. The skin had beei
entirely removed from the face , but In al
other respects the body was In good condl
tlon. The artlculator and Holmes had semi
talk as to the best way of taking the bed ;
from the houpe , as Holmes said he did no
want the neighbors to see the bo3y removed
U was finally agreed that the articulate
should cu' oft the arms , and Holmes shouli
provide for the removal of the rest of th
corpse. This was done , and the artlculato
left the house , carrying the arms with bin
In a sack. He * had just reached his hous
and was preparing to go to bed , when h
was called to the door by a louJ knocking
He went , and found Holmes and unothe
man. They had the balance of the body
which had been cut In two more pieces afte
the artlculator tied left the hoti'e. Holme
left after remarking that he would have an
other job foi the man In a short time.
CARED FOR TWO WOMEN.
True tl his word , In December he sent to
the artlculator a second time and upon th
arrival of the latter at the house of Holme
he was taken to the same > dark room , wher
on the same table where the body of th
man had lain on the occasion ot his firs
visit was the body of a young woman. Th
face of this corpse had been disfigured I
such a manner that It was Impossible to te
what she had looked like when alive. 1
January , 1S93 , the artlculator was sent for
third time by Holmes and In the same root
on the same table he found the bojy of
second young woman , from whose face a
the skin had been removed. The articulate
had this body taken to his home , where I ,
stripped the bones and mounted the skeletal
When he called on Holmes for his pjy tt
latter refused to give it to him , and wj
moreover somewhat In arrears on the bl
for mounting the two other skeletons Tl
two men could not come to terms and tl
dispute finally ended by the artlculator n
talnlng possession of the third skeleton , an
he still has It In his house. He removed tt
skull and brought It to the Central pollt
station , where It now Is.
The artlculator will be kept under cloi
surveillance for some days yet , as the polli
do not think he has told all he knows aboi
the murders in the "Castle. " The police d
Clare now that they have almost posltli
proof that the first female body was that
Emetine digram ! and the second that
Annie Williams , It Is the skull of Ann
. Williams that Is now at the Central ttitlo
WHAT THE EXPRESSMAN SAW.
The story of the expressman ts to the effe
that he was hired by Holmes one afternoi
and told not to come to the house until aft
nightfall. The expressman kept his appoln
mc-nt. Ho was given a trunk and a box 1
Holmes and told to take til em to the unli
depot. When he was putting the box In
thj wagon he turned It on end and was
once stopped by Holmes , who told him th
he was on no account to keep the box In ai
other position except flat on the side. I
was ordered to take the box and trunk
the depot and leave them on the end of t
platform , and was told that they would
taken care of. He saw only one man at t'
vUpat who seemed to be interested In t
trunk and box , and drove away. Aft
Humphrey had told his story Pat Qiilnl
vvas brought from his cell and the two we
brought face to face. The police will not ti
why this was done , but the general oplni
Is that It was because Humphrey recognlz
Qulnlan as the man at the depot.
In prosecuting t'ne Investigation of t
basement of the big brick house on SKt
third and Wallace streets the workmen ei
ployed by the police came upon a grave. T
Indications are that In the grave were la
the bodies of two women. Lime and qulc
lime had accomplished their work and t
bodies had largely turned to native dust , b
there still remained sufficient evidence
make the Identification possible. Two si
spots In the bed of hard clay were the sat
size of limns 11 bodies , and where the hea
would have been were mats ot long hair. 0
big strand was ot light color.- while t
ether was ot the brown hue of Minnie W
Hams' hair.

KANSAS CITY , Juljr 28. Kansas City and
vicinity was visited about 4 0 o'clock this
morning by the worst rafnfahd lightning
storm In the history of the weather bureau.
The rainfall In Kansas' City , Mo. ( was 4.57
Inches , the heaviest on/rccord. No damage
vvas done on the Missouri side.
Across the line In KAnsas great damage
vvas done to private aou public property.
Street pavements were washed out like EO
much kindling wood ; sidewalks were carried
away , small woodsheds and outhouses were
moved to the creek bottoms and destroyed
and the honws of a number ot people were
flooded , ruining their furniture.
While much damage was done to private
property , the city at large suffered the great
est loss. The damage done to streets alone
will reach up In the thousands ot dollars. It
Is safe to say that not an entire street In
the city which Is paved with cedar blocks
escaped damage. Many ot the block pave
ments were swept Into the Missouri by the
water , which flowed down the streets , mak
ing them like rivers. Street car traffic was
badly crippled.
In Armourdale and Argentine , Kan. ,
much damage was done to private
and public property because of the
low ness of the ground In most parts of
the city. In the west end nnd along Twelfth
street of Armourdale the tracks of the Metro
politan street car line Were covered with
water for three or four blocks during the
early part of the day.
In the southern portion of the city many
residences were flooded with water , mud and
trash.
The Metropolitan cars were unable to run
during a part .of the day between Armourdalc
nnd Argentine. In the bottoms of Argentine
travel of all sorts was suspended nearly all
day by an accumulation of mud and refuse
matter washed down froia the hills nnd
which was piled up along the streets. First
street was badly damaged , and the macadam
recently put down was washed out nearly the
entire length of the street. Macadam In other
parts of the city was also washed out.
Observer Conner states that the storm vvas
local and that U was not probable that any
damage was done out In the country.

of authority and that the present field move

Insists In very strong terms that the Indians
will be taught that when they are In Wyom

jects to having the settlers of northwestern
Wyoming harassed and frightened by bands
of Indian hunters from othc'r states. Indian
Agent Teter , on the other h.tnd , who made an
Investigation fcr the government , claims that
the Indians are In the right , and have au
thority to hunt In Wyoming under their
treaty of 1S6S. These are differences that
cannot be eettled by the troops. It Is learned
from a reliable source that all the settlers
who took part In the killing of the Indians
three weeks ago will be Indicted for murder ,
according to the recommendation of Indian
Ag nt Teter.

Pease of Germantovvn , Pa. , members ot the

was thought to have been annihilated by the
Indians , arrived here this evening. Mr , Gar
ret said :
"We left Dubols , Wyo. , Just two weeks ago
for Yellow Lake. Uy the route we took the
trip vvas expected to occupy five days , but It
required nine days and provisions ran short.
We named the route the Princeton trail ,
and It vvas heretofore unnamed. We crossed
a recently traveled Indian trail , evidently
made by the Lemhls who had gone to join
the Dannocks. Later we came across a small
party of Shoshones and camped with them
one night. They seemed to bo In a bid
humor , but did not tell us that they were on
the war path. In the band was George
Wasakle , son of the chief of the tribe.
"We passed within sight of Jackson's Hole.
From what wo heard tlie Indians had more
reason to be afraid of the settlers than the
latter had to be afraid ot the Indians. The
Impression prevailed that the white people
were very snxldus to fight the redskins.
For four days wo traveled through snow. We
were well armed and prepared for a fight ,
although we knew of no danger until we
reacehd Cooke City. We passed over country
never before travcld by white men and saw
much large game , inoutnaln sheep , deer , bear ,
etc. We left the main party Wdnesday last. "

The United Brotherhood of Tailors hai
hoped the strike might be averted until Sep

and when It would naturally cease until
new agreement had been reached. Th
workers assert that the contractors were no
willing to wall and now , when there Is plent
of business , they will force a strike.
Tl\ey insist that tlie.contractors broke th
terms of the existing agreement by refustn
to pay their hands on the day specified , an
that better to Insure the success of thcl
scheme to force a strike they locked ou
several hundred of their employes.
The contractors allege that work Is slac :
and that BO few were their orders that the ;
wore compelled to knoclt off some of till

to live up to the terms ot agreement an
that they were anxious to force the men t

Returns from Nebraska's Recent Harvest

Nebraska's small grain harvest for tha
year 1S'J5 Is practically ended , and the eyes ot
the husbandman arc turned with expectancy
to the corn crop , now * rapidly ripening under
most favorable circumstances. The small
grain harvest has been bountiful beyond the
most sanguine expectations , while the corn
crop , from the present outlook , promises to
bo by far the largest ever grown In the his
tory of Nebraska.
Thefco conclusions are based upon conserva
tive reports made to The Bee by reliable
correspondents In nearly CAery county of the
state. These reports were mailed on July
24 , at which tlmo harvest had been com
pleted or was , at least , In full blast. Many
pieces of small grain In these counties had.
already been threshed and It Is believed that
the estimates of the average yield ot smalt
grain are both conservative and reliable.
A perusal of the reports from the Individual
counties as presented , following , will bring out
the prominent fact that the acreage of corn ,
has been largely Increased over former years' .
There Is a ready explanation for this fact.
Two years ago Nebraska met with blunt
reversals In her agricultural productions. In
1893 and 1891 small grains had failed to pro
duce a crop. At the opening of the present
year the farmers , discouraged by their lack
of success with small grains , naturally
turned to the surer crop , corn. Again ,
thousands of acres of fall wheat and rye.
were plowed up and replanted to corn. The
reliance of the farmer In the great staple
crop of Nebraska has this year not been mls-
plnced , for , unless some calamitous mishap
Intervenes , the state will harvest a crop ot
corn greater than any In Its history.
AVERAGE YIELD FAR EXCEEDED ,
Taking the state In Its entirety , wheat , rye
and bailey have produced moro than an
average crop. The.crop ot oats will be far
above the average , the yield In many of the
counties being so largo as ( o almost chal
lenge credulity.
Next to her grain , Nebraska will produce
a crop ot potatoes which easily promises to
beat the record. The year has been unusu
ally favorable to this great food pioduct , and
every county of the state will have thousands
of bushels for the market , beyond the needs
of home consumption.
Another noticeable feature of the results
of agriculture In Nebraska this year is the
marked Increase In the acreage of alfalfa.
This comparatively now to Nebraska-
product Is destined to become a great factor
In the agricultural wealth of the state. In
the counties where its value has becaniD
recognized It Is already established , vvhila
the farmers who In other counties have this
year undertaken Its culture as an experi
ment have become convinced of Its great Im
portance and will give It added attention In
the future.
The hay crop has kept pace with the grain
and corn crops , and the state has produced an
ample supply , not only for Its own needs ,
but for market.
The year has not been altogether favorable
to fruits , although the older counties report
a large crop of apples. Late frosts did ma
terial damage to peaches , grapes and small
fruits.
Naturally some , sections of Ihu state have
been more favored than others , but In no
year ot the recent history of Nebraska have
generous rains been so evenly distributed
over the entire state. There Is a small section
of Nebraska south of the Platte river , and
between the extreme eastern and western
counties , which has suffered for lack of rain.
But reports reaching The Bee last night Indi
cate that this section was- visited early
Sunday morning by good rains , some locali
ties reporting as much as two Inches. Thcza
rains , while too late to affect small grains ,
will be of great benefit to corn.
There Is but little to bo feared from the
hot winds , which blasted the crops of the
state one year ago. Grain Is already safe and
corn Is strong and hardy enough to with
stand hot weather.

The old and thickly populated countlea
along the Missouri river from Douglas to the
county line report magnificent crops of small
grain , with the most flattering outlook for a
largo yield of corn. These counties were
among these which suffered by the unex
pected late frosts early In the season ;
but the warm rains which set In May 30
worked a wonderful change In crop prospects.
Small grain and corn recovered from the ef
fects ot earlier unfavorable weather and th
counties with one exception report the largest
crops In their history.
