IS DEAD IN SCHOOL ROOM
Milwaukee Man Thought to Have
Been Murdered.


Kenosha, Wis. Aug. 21.-Deep mys-
terry surrounds the death Of Hugo An
ger, aged 81, a member OF a well
known family in Milwaukee, whose
body was found on the third floor of
a Kenosha school building. The school
had been closed for the summer and
it is impossible to find any reason for
the body being there. Anger was for
merly a prominent retail furniture
dealer in Milwaukee, but he had re
verses in business and family troubles
and some time ago he came TO Keno
sha. The post mortem over the body
failed to reveal any cause of death
and the police are working on the
theory that Anger was murdered and
his body taken to the school building
with the idea that it would be some
time before 1t was found. The body
was found by the janitor Of the school
when he went to the building to do
some painting.
