CORPSE IN TOOL BOX


Marshall, Texas Nov 21.--City.
county aud railroad authorities, two
detectives from Little Rock, Ark.
and the citizens In general are en-
deayoring To solve a mystery that has
aroused more interest in this section
than any event recently. the affair
involving the checking as baggage OF
box supposed to contain tools, but
which was later discovered TO con-
tain a corpse. The main questions
are: Where did the consignment
originate Who was placed in tool
box after death and shippei 10 sew
eral points? Who is the man who en-
gagged the services of a local baggage
hauler and disappeared soon after
! checking the box to Little Rock after
1t had been brought here?
The initial happenings in the case
occurred about one week ago.
but the first details leaked out
today and although but few facts are
! known to the public they are of suf-
: ficient mystery to arouse the keenest
/ interest.
| On a train that arrived in Marshatl
( last Tuesday night there were two
boxes in the baggage car that were
checked as tools. On arrival here one
was taken from the train and remoV-
! ed to a point near the Texas South
ern shops, where it was left in the
bushes. On the following morning a
! white man who owns baggage wa
gon was approached by stranger
and requested to make haul, bu'
the transfer man had been engaged
on other work and referred the
stranger to negro baggageman wH'
did the hauling. The box was hauled
to the Texas and Pacific depot an
in the baggage room was checked |

stranger disappeared soon atterwar'
Developments show that from u
point in Louisiana the box was T
checked to Little Rock, Ark, ov
fthe Iron Mountain road. Soon art
its arrival there a discovery W
made the routing was traced Dae
Las rar az Marshall and General bae
gagemaster w. w. Campbell or IN
Texas and Pacific notified the agen
here by wire that the box contained
a corpse.
! And there the case seems to rest
so far as developments for the pubic
al this time are concerned. Chief of

two detectives from Little Rock are
prominent workers on the matter.
They declared tonight that nothing
/ has developed in the case that may
clear the mystery soon.
It has not been learned here what
was done with the box after it orrlv-

A circular letter has been sent to
the teachers of Oregon explaining the
need of 100000 which Commander
Robert f. Peary requires to fit up an
