FIND BODY In SCHOOL HOUSE
kenosha Police Believe Hugo. Anger,
Former Milwaukee Merchant,
to Have Been Murdered.

Kenosha.-Hugo Anger, aged 81
years, formerly furniture dealer in
Milwaukee, was found dead in a de-
serted school building here.
Anger had been seen on the
streets of Kenosha the previous
day, and it is impossible to account
for the body being found in the
school, which had been closed for
the vacation for two months. An
autopsy over the remains failed to
reveal cause for death.
The police believe that Anger was
murdered and his body taken to the
school house with a view of conceal
ing the crime.
Anger is a brother of the Rev.

Lutheran ministers in Wisconsin,

Because Christmas seals were placed
upon them, 1000 letters found their way

stickers, and will not receive mail upon
which they are ,afixed. The 1000 letters
and 1000 packages are only small part
