until farmer named Elliott, living

a man who worked for him few days
before he suicided. When the man
applied for work at ElliOtt's he said
his home was at Wellington, Kans.
When this fact was learned, the police
asked Harry Hall, formerly of this
place, to view the body. Mr.. Hall
stated that the face was familiar, and
that he had seen the man 10 yelling.

thought be was railroader.
At Mr.. Halls request, a photograph
OF the dead man was sent to Marshal
Shawver, who is endeavoring to find
someone who can identify him.
Several persons recall having seen
the man, but do not know his name.
Engineer Chas. Weddle thinks he isa
