A Searching Investigation to be
Made OF the Death of Max
MILAN CIszeWski
WILD RUM0RS UNFoUN0ED
District Attorney However Follows
Murder Theory Closely and May
Unveil Diabolical Crime
No Arrests Made

The city was filled with rumors on
Sunday in regard to the manner of the
death Of Macmillan Olszewski, whose
decapltated remains were found along
the right Of way Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul tracks last Thurs
day morning and while there is no
foundation in fact for the stories that
have been circulated it is certain that
there will be very thorough investi-
cation Of the matter when the jury
called to investigate the death meets
for it's second session tomorrow. When
the remains Of the man were found it
was thought that he had been killed
by a train, but so many unusual things
have been discovered in connection
with the case that the district attorney
has grave doubts in the matter. The
remains of the man were buried on
Sunday afternoon from the home of his
daughter Mrs. Frank Schaefer who re
sides on Noble street in North Kenosha
but the interment of the remains will
! in no way interfere with the further
Investigation Of the case. Both the
! district attorney and the coroner have
made an investigation Of the wounds
Of the dead man and Of the place along
the track where the body was found
and the district attorney seems to
! doubt very much that he could have
been killed by train. The head OF
the man was just hanging by a small
portion Of flesh in the front of the
neck and it has the appearance of hav
ing been severed by an ak or some
sharp instrument. The only Other
wound on the body is a bad bruise or
the right side of the head, but the
skull was not fractured at this point
There is also hole in the cap which
the old man was wearing which is not
accounted for. At the place where the
remains were found there is no sign
Of the body having been dragged by
the train and the amount of blood
found at the place is regarded as decid
edly small for the terrible gaping woun6
caused by the cutting off Of the head
Of the man. The theory seems to bt
that the man was murdered ir {
diabolical manner in the city Of Keno
sha and taken to the place where the
remains were found after his death
This theory is borne out by the fac
that there was absolutely no blood
along the tracks where the body wa
found. There was no blood found OF
the wheels of the cars which had passe(
over the point during the night befor'
and the further fact that the body wa
only few feet from the east side O.
the track adds strength to the murde
theory. The district attorney in speak
ing Of the case said: cit seems to M
that if this man was killed by trail
he would have been thrown some dis
tance and it is hard for me to see hoy
the engine could have made this wounC
without crushing the man s head AM
breaking other bones in his body. TIL
the head and this was not sufficient t.
fracture the skull is the breaking o
the bone Of one of the fingers"
The dead man is known to have beer
heavy drinker and had been arrested
a short time ago on charge of in
toxication. There seems to be no mo
tive for his murder He carried al
insurance policy of 5000, but it is no
thought that this paltry sum woul'
offer a. motive for such murder as thi
must have been if it was a case o
murder. The jury will meet tomorrow
: morning to go at the investigation an
every possible effort will be made t
;. get at the facts in the case. The trail
men as well as many other witnesse
have been summoned and District AT
torney Baker will look after the inter
ests of the state in the inquest. il
the meantime no arrests have bee,
