MAY Be BUCK" CAPP
Unidentified Man Found Dead at
Galveston, Texas.

Chief of Police Moore, Of this city,
received a telegram this morning
from the coroner of Galveston, Tex,
making inquiry concerning one "B.
Capp," or I'M. Van Koop." The
telegram stated that man had been
found dead in Galveston and he was
probably known by one of the names
given.
The deceased is undoubtedly
"Buck" Cspp, formerly well known
in this city. He was employed with
Harry Bowen in the old Asher House
for number of years and was at one
time prominent member of the Os-
kaloosa fire department. He went
to Missouri some time ago and under
the name of M. Van Koop followed
the profession of chiropodist. He
wandered into Texas and was last
heard of by Oskaloosa parties at
Denison and Dallas.
The father is G.. O. Capp, of Lin
coin, and it is understood that a
sister is now residing at Abba.
Capp was addicted to the excessive
use of morphine and it is not unlike
ly that he has died of an over dose
of the drug.
