MarOOns Weaken in Second.
The local boys weakened consider
ally in the second half and the West

the count Rains, at fullback, made
two tOuchdowns and Wolfe missed
both goals, making the score at the
end of the third quarter, 16 to 0. In
the final quarter. Wolfe made two
touchdowns on finely executed runs
and Kipp made one when Hall blocked
a punt which rolled back of the Ma

smooth manner which characterized
their play last year, when they won
the state championship, and few

Remains of Stranger Found at

secting Table.
DEATH ENDS IDENTITY
No Letters or Marks to Assist the
or Home-5O Years Old.

Coroner F. E. Rudolf Of Davenport
today shipped to Drake university. Des

identity the man had died suddenly. It
is believe that he suffered a stroke of
apoplexy and that a hemorrhage re-
sulting was the cause of death. Where
he lay the soil is sandy and his whole
face was buried in it, indicating that
breathing might have been stopped In
this manner while he was uncon-
scious.
Under one arm he carried a package,
while the other hand was in his peck
ct. A search of his clothing was made
and not even card could be found
to identify him by.
No CIew to Mystery.
A large number of people viewed the
remains, but without furnishing any
clew to establishing the mans name
or place of residence. Workmen and
superintendent of the Bettendorf
works stated that he had not been en-
ployed there.
The stranger was about so years old
somewhat bald, with brown hair and
red mustache and was about five feet
and seven inches in height. His cloth
ing was in fairly good shape and he
wore a light shirt, but no necktie.

Recent tragedies in the desert have

making an appeal TO the chamber to
urge the state engineer TO immedi-
ately complete the work Of placing
signs along the roads and trails that
traverse that desolate region.
About half OF the $4,000 approprf-
ated by the legislature for the pur-
pose has been expended already. and
many OF the roads have sign boards.
However. there IS still much territory

Mr. Parsons probably has had more

Of this matter on tho state authorities
than any other man. He is anxious that
the work shall not cease until all the
roads trails and places where water
may be secured have been marked
Within few days several persons have

Hasman. These men will retain an
important interest In the purchasing

on the other side being conducted by a
Mr.. Baruch. who is president OF the
new concern, which will proceed 20
