DOUGLAS, Jan. S,-(Special.l-- The mysterious party shot several nights ago near the railroad round house by Ranger Jen kidder and whose body has lain ever since at the Ferguson undertaking parlors for tden- tification, has at last been identified His name is Tom T. Wood and his name appears on the city register of Douglas as a registered voter. Wood is a native of the state of Georgia, lived several years in various towns in Texas, notably -Toyah and Amarillo, has tended bar in Douglas, gambled, earpentered and done other odd jobs here for several years. And with all this the body lay for nearly 8 week in the undertaking parlors awaiting identification
 The nternational-Amerlcan started out this morning to see if someone could not be found who knew the de ceased. A party was found who said deceased was known to Ollie Phillips and that Phillips knew that deceased had worked at one time for Lee Thompson, when the latter ran sa' loon on the corner of Ninth street and c avenue. 1t was learned from this source that the name of the dead man was Wood
 When Officer Lee Thompson was seen he said he knew the corpse was pretty certain of his identity .sYes he used to do odd jobs about the saloon some three years ago. have seen him frquently since, here and elsewhere His name is Tom T, Wood and his name is on the city reg ister. and if l am not mistakqen ne voted in the last election. He is from Georgia and came here from Texas
 II appears that Ryan, one of the men now held in the county jail here on suspicion of robbing railway cars also knows the dead man. When talk on 10 view the body he showed signs of great agitation and would say nothing more than that he knew the man and had known him five years ago in Texas He refused at the time to give the name to the officers.
 Further investigation by the Inter national-American this morning re vealed the fact that Wood was pretty well known in Douglas. The mysteT ious part of the affair is that he was not positively identified at the ineues; or later, and that Ryan, who admitted in his agitation to knowing hlm. VIII nor talk |. IL OAiy ANA1ha-iS N-~' to find if deceased has any relatives who want his remains.
 Judge Ben Rice this morning, on learning of the identification of the dead man, stated that he would instt fifte investigation to locate, if possf ble. any relatives of the deceased, SC that they may be notised.
 Late this afternoon Judge Rice ex pressed some doubt as to the positive character of the Identification of the body as Tom T. Wood. While he thinks it very probable that the iden tiication is accurate, there remains an element of doubt.
 Albert Ryan, arrested in connection with the box car robberies about the same time that Wood was killed, was seen in the jail this afternoon. He re iterated his assertion that he knew inc dead man. Had known him in ths two Texas towns mentioned in the foregoing. But he had not seen hin for five years and had forgotten his name. This positive Identification o1 the dead man by an acquaintance WhC had not seen him for five years and inc doubtful nature of the local iden tifcation, where deceased is supposed to have been known for the pas three years is not the least remark able feature of the case.
