CAUSE OF DEATH A MYSTERY
Dead Man Belonged to Prominent
Family in Milwaukee and Had Been
Working in Kenosha for About Four
Months.

! formerly residing at 1000 10Th street,
Milwaukee, but for the past four
months employed as an upholsterer by
Bode Brothers in this city, was found
dead this morning laying on the floor
of the second story of the Weiskopf
school under conditions that are de-
handing most rigid investigation on
| the part of the local police
Anger is said to have been member
Of well known family in Milwaukee
and his father, August L. Anger, who
resides at 1917 Floyd street. Milwau
kte, is ore Of the best known of the
office employees of the Schoenecker
Boat and Shoe company. The body of
Anger was found by John Schwanke,
janitor of the school building just be-
fore ten o clock this morning. Schwan
Ike had gone to the building to continue
the work Of cleaning which he had
started on Thursday and he found the
body just at the head of one of the
stairways leading to the second floor
of the building. He at once notified
the police and then made an investi-
cation of the building and found that
| Anger had either entered or his body
had been carried into the school build
ing through basement door. This door
had been carefully locked when
Schwanke left the building just before
six clock Thursday night and this
morning both the grade door and the
door leading into the furnace room
were open. The body of Anger was
just at the top Of the steps lying in a
small pool Of blood. The hands were
great agony. Schwanke declared that
the man must have entered the build
ing during the night as lie was working
near tho point where the body was
found late Thursday afternoon.
Anger had been working at the Bode
Brother IS store until last Monday even
ing and had room at the Fischer
hotel. On Monday night he complained
of being i'll and stated that he would
not return to work on Tuesday. He
had not been seen at the store since
I that time until the remains were iden-
titled by a bookkeeper from the Bode
store just after they had been removed
| to the Mischler and Stanton morgue
! Coroner j. II. Stanton at once called
| in number of physicians and post
morton examination of the remains of
| Anger will be held this evening or to-
morrow morning. Acting Chief Of Po-
! lice Newhouse demanded that the coro
ner make the fullest possible investi
cation into the case. An examination
of the body failed to reveal any marks
which would indicate that the man met
death through violence and the skull
/ was not fractured. It is thought pos
sible that Anger might have been a
suicide. He is said to have shown signs
of dependency on account OF contin-
ued illness, but at that the men who
had known him cannot account for the
body being found in the school build
| ing. Anger had never worked in the
school and it seems improbable thai
he would have selected this as a place
to take his life.
| It is said that Anger was formerly
married, but that he had trouble with
his wife and they separated some time
ago. The police officials are making
an effort to get into telephone cennec-
ton with the father of the dead man
and it is probable that the remains
will be taken to Milwaukee for inter
ment.
A jury was called this afternoon to
investigate the case, but an adjourn
ment was taken until after the post
norton examination of the body.
