The police of this city, has discovered the body of one of our compatriots, in a state of putrefaction, in one of the caves that exist on Clinton and Polk Streets.

The state of the body proves that the attack has taken place several days ago and the victim cannot be identified for that reason.

According to neighbors of that vicinity, three Mexican men had the habit of sleeping daily in the caves. It is thus probable that the other two individuals killed the third.

The body of the unfortunate man, revealed enormous wounds, a testimony of the ferocity of the murderers.

The body was taken to the morgue. Without any clues whatever, it is impossible for the police to apprehend the criminals.
