DEAD BY THE ROAD.
Fred Matchett's Body Found
With Revolver by His Side.

Fred Matchett, the 20 year old son of
J. T. Matehett, farmer living near the
Reform school, either committed suicide
or was murdered Wednesday afternoon.
His body was found on the Granville
road about 300 yards from the Soldier
creek bridge at A o'clock by Santa F'e
section hand named Matt Devnn. A 81
right hand. and a bullet hole in his left
temple showed how he came to his
death.
The body was found in the weeds by
the roadside and no signs of a struggle
were visible. When Mr. Devlin found
the body he at once notified the police,
and Coroner H. B. Hogeboom drove out
to make an investigation. He examined
the clothing but found nothing to ident1-
fy him. A little over a dollar in money
and a receipt from station A for
money order of 81 were found in his
pockets, and by means of the number
on the receipt the coroner learned at the
postof1ice that his name was Fred
Matchett, and that he had sent the
money order IS c. P Collier. Kansas
City. The body was taken to an I'M
dertaking establishment, where an in
quest will be held this afternoon.
AS far as can be learned, Matchett
was last seen alive by Jacob Rockies,
farmer living on the Granville road
short distance from the place where the
body was found. He stopped at the
J. IRGCk4CS nome SuOIllJ after 0OOA Ff9cQ-
nesday and asked for something to eat
/ He was given a piece of bread, which
he did not eat, and after drinking
cup of water walked on down the road.
F. c. Matchett of 11S Holman street,
q clerk in the employ of the Santa Fe,
/ who is an uncle of the dead man, identi-
fed the body. He said that his nephew
| was employed on the farm of Jacob
/ Neiswender near Silver Lake, and had
/ no cause for suicide as far as he knew
| He did not know Of any love affairs or
other troubles to lead him to such an
| act He is positive that the boy was
| murdered, and owing to the nature OF
| the wound, which was in the left tenn

person to shoot himself in the left tenn
! pie with a revolver held in his right
| hand, and at the same time hold the
weapon at a sufficient distance from his
head to avoid singing the hair or pow

difficult An old scar on the boys right
leg was explained by his uncle who SAID
that the deceased had told 9. story Of g
hold-up in North Topeka about eight
months ago. when he was accOsted by

eral hundred head of cattle left out on
the winter range. The owners had
him arrested on a charge of running
off their stock. but he was released
and brought suit against the cattle
men. He won and made the owners
pay him for feeding the stock.
Yesterday Secretary Whitehead of
the society received telephone mes
sage from Burdette. The agent re-
ported that he had again found large
number of cattle along the river with
out proper food or shelter. The
drouth of the past summer has left
no winter range, and Burdette said
the cattle were starving. He took up
the cattle and provided proper shelter
and food, after which he notified their
owners. To his surprise, they replied
that they were glad he had taken this
action and would pay all charges. The
agent was so surprised that he could
not wait to report by mail
