Washington People Are Strong in
Their Belief.

CHICAGO, March 30.-Almost con-
elusive proof has been adduced that
the body of the man found in the box
recently bought for unclaimed freight
by Austin spectators is that of oliver
Pike of SteiIacoom. Wash, and the
murder mystery is in a fair way to be-
come solved. Two persons who had
known the man intimately since child
hood and were almost constantly with
him up to the time of his departure for
Washington have identified the re-
mains, and after a most exhaustive
scrutiny, pronounce the body that of
their friend and their relative. If the
question of the truss found on the
body is answered safely the deputy
coroner will offer no further objections
to the burial OF the body by the rela-
tives and will take the proof as ample
