The coroner's jury called to examine
into the death of the unknown man

A number of pictures of children and
Of woman supposed to have been the
wife Of the dead man were found in
his pockets and these will be sent t.
the papers in Milwaukee for publica-

pictures seems to indicate that the man
was a Milwaukee man. County Agent
Hensgen arranged for the burial Of the
man in the cemetery at Racine, but the
remains were photographed yesterday
in order to aid IN any possible identi-
fcation which may come later.
It is possible that clue to the identi-

an unknown woman called the county
agent over the telephone and asked for
description of the man. The county
agent gave description of the man to
the woman and without comment she
hung up the receiver and closed the
conversation. Efforts are now being
made to discover who this woman was

possible by the telephone officials.
The county agent seems to take littla
stock in the report that The man may
have met with foul play and he seems
to be of the opinion that the man fell
from some train or was struck by an
engine while walking along the tracks.

Cioudesley Shovel.
OF the almost complete wreck of

on the rocks of the Scilly isles, togeth-
er with the death of its gallant COM
mander, the greatest seaman Of the
age. a number Of curious traditions
are associated both with the events
leading up to the catastrophe and the
fate Of the celebrated admiral
The outstanding feature of the catas-
trophe is the mystery Of Shovel's
death, which will probably never be
solved, and the latter turns upon the
admiral's emerald ring. One story goes
that the body was picked up on the
shore by q soldier and his wife and
buried by them on Porth Hellick
sands. A spot is still shown at Porth
Hellick as being the burial place of the
admiral, and, according to tradition.
grass has never grown upon it. Subse-
quently the identity of the corpse was
discovered. The remains We're eXhum-
ed and conveyed to London via Plym-
dy Shovel rewarded the soldier with a
pension for life and received from him
the ring found on her husbands finger.
Another story is that Paxton, the
purser of the Arundel, discovered two
st. Mary men quarreling over the pos
session of a ring. He at once recog-
nized 1t as Shovel's ring and inquired
from which body it had been taken,
and when that was found he knew
and claimed the body. Lastly. there is
the startling narrative of foul play
viz, that many years after the wreck

The ring was eventually recovered. and
