referred to.
The gruesome story in the Tri-
bune told of the finding of body
in Minnehaha creek corresponding
in number of points weight,
height and even the matter of thin
ness of hair on the crown of the
head-with the description of Will
Houck given to the police, and led
the latter to conclude that the dead
man was none other than the mis-
sing absentee. The body in question
was found near the Soldiers home,
below the famous falls, by couple
of inmates of the home, badly de-
composed, with a gaping bullet
wound in the right temple and a
broken watch chain hanging from
the vest pocket. The pockets were
empty, suggesting robbery and foul
play. Who the victim was may
never be known, but the real Will
Houck, alive and we'll at Los Angeles,
will read the story of the fate of
his unlucky double with mingled
feelings of self-congratulation and

could. AS only twelve could go each

No, the election of Chairman

They are proud of his ability and
