POLICE BELIEVE
THAT FOUL PLAY
CAUSED DEATH

The police are today completely baf-
fed by the mystery of the man who
was found bruised and unconscious
early this morning on McWhorter
street, and died half an hour later at
the City Hospital without regaining
consciousness.
The man was found lying about fifty
feet south of Hamilton street, and he
showed signs of rough usage. being
badly battered about the head, face
and body. What at first seemed like
an accidental fall from a trolley car
was later otherwise interpreted when
DR.. McKenzie'e examination showed
that the man died Of fractured skull
beside other wounds which alone might
have killed him.
The man was found at the place men
toned by Patrolmen Duffy and Collins
about 1870 this morning. At the hos
pital there was found on his person a
card bearing the name of Kress, 145
Ferry street Inquiry at that place
ELECTED the information that man by
the name of Kress occupied store
there till two years ago, when he
moved to Brooklyn. Nothing could be
learned of the man and his identity re-
mains as complete mystery now as
the minute he was found.
All inquiry at various houses with
people of that name failed to clear up
the mystery. The police are now of the
opinion that there was foul play of
some kind. The mans injuries are of
a kind that warrant this belief as the
county physician's autopsy showed that
the mans wounds could hardly have
been inflicted by a fall from a trolley
car.
Having been found on McWhorter
street the man, assuming that he did
fall from a car. might have fallen
either from a Kinney or Springfield
car All investigation along that line
has so far failed to bring any results.
Besides the card, nothing that could
lead to the mars identification has
been found on his person.

STUDENTS PLACE NAKED
CORPSE IN THE CHAPEL

For several days the students have
been in sullen mood over the suspen-
sion of the entire baseball team which
played game recently at WellsviIle
without having obtained permission
AS the athletic students must attain
an evarage of % per cent to get
through the school year they waxed
indignant at the action of the faculty
in depriving them of their studies and
they found many sympathizers among
the other students.
A raid was made last night on an
undertaking room in the town and a
body was taken from one of the slabs.
The body, nude, was placed in a sit
ting posture on the piano stool.

this part Of the country who has
raised Japanese peas. He brought
the seed from Louisiana, having OBJ
tanned them from man who had
been to Japan. The stalks are
straight, growing about two feet
high and have a large number Of
pods but each pod contains only two
or three peas. Mr. Harvey planted
the seed in Jdne and he says the
drouth didn't affect the plants. the
stalks Of which are still green. The
peas are said to be excellent for
table use.
