FACTS POINT TO A SUICIDE.
Efforts to Discover the Identity Of the
Man Show That He Formerly Lived
IN fredericksburg Since First of
the Year.


The eoroner's jury called to investi-
gate into the manner of the death of
the unknown man whose body was
found in the Curtis woods north of the
city on Tuesday evening failed to
reach a verdict at the session on Wed
nesday afternoon and the case was
left open to give the coroner and the
officials of the county a chance to in
vestigate the case further. Some Of
the officials are still inclined to believe
that the man may have been murdered
but the weight of the evidence indi-
Gates that the man hung himself. AT
ter the jury had adjourned on Wednes-
day a searching investigation Of the
body of the dead man was made but it
failed to bring any results. There are
no wounds on the body of the man and
the condition of the blood seems to in
dictate that the man committed suicide
by hanging. This theory was secuted
on account of the fact that there was
no signs of death struggle but the
investigation showed that the man had
clenched his teeth just before death
and his tongue was partially bitten in
two. The finding of the name ~. Ho-
klk' on tag in the coat worn by
the dead man caused the coroner to
seek aid from the Racine police in dis
but it was found that the company
which made the suit Of clothes had
gone out of business some time ago
and no trace Of the records of the com
pany could be found. This morning
the police of Racine notified the local
police that j. Hoklik was a Racine
man who formerly lived at 1913 Albert
street in that city. He left his board
ing house about January LIST and no.
thing had been seen of him since that
time. The man is supposed to have a
brother living in Joliet, ILL.,, but it is
not thought that he has any relatives
in Racine or Kenosha. 1t is thought
pretty certain that the remains are
those of Hoklik as he had been des-
pondent for some tipe before he left
Racine.
County Agent Jones went to Racine
this afternoon to make an effort to To-
cate some of the friends of the dead
man and if possible make some ar
rangements for the burial Of the body.
In order, to make the Identification
certain it is planned to have a number
of these people come down from Ra-
cine and examine the body in the Han
sen morgue. Members of the
jury who sat on the case were divided
as to the manner of the death of the
man and they were unwilling to place
the stigma of suicide on the victim
without further evidence. It was found
that the man wore four shirts and two
vests and this is common thing
among men who are tramping about
the country and it is thought possible
that it will be found that the dead man
was tramp who went into the woods
to die. 1t is certain that Coroner Stan
ton is not convinced that the man was
a suicide but he is doubtful as to Just
how to continue the investigation.
Many foreigners from Kenosha have
called at the morgue to look at the re-
mains but none of them has been
able to find anything in the appearance
of the man by which they could iden-
tify him.

tAG OOuO0lG VI L1SI INUGACI.
Kenosha had real juvenile wedding
on Thursday afternoon when Peter Ko-
Roman an assistant in pool room at
Waukegan was married to Sophia
Johnson of the same city. The cere-
mony was performed by Judge Slosson
in the county court. The bride was lit
tie more than child and the fact that
her dresses were just below her knees
made her an unusual bride. She, how
ever, brought with her the consent of
her mother for the marriage. The
groom stated that he was 81 years of
age but he looked almost as youthful
as his bride. Tt was admitted that the
marriage would be a surprise to the
friends of the bride and groom in Wau-
kegan.

CROP PROSPECTS,.

Tie crop prospects look better this
week than they did last, principally on
account of the splendid rain of Sunday
night and the cool weather following.
There is no use denying that the crop
will be below the average, but it will
not be as bad as was anticipated, in
fact We believe that the yield will
surprise the farmers when the grain
is put through the threshers. The
straw is very short, but the heads
seem to have filled we'll and that is
what counts. Over the county the
conditions might be described as
spotted" Some fields are very good,
and this includes all the corn, while
others are poor. Where the local
rains fell the crops look fine and in
the territory in the immediate vicinity
OF Brookings we are told that the
average is better than in other parts
Of the county. With favorable wealth.
er for the rest OF the season we will
get a fine crop OF corn, a fair crop
Of small grain and a fair amount OF
feed, so that we have reason to be
thankful.

a member of the state board Of re-
gents for several years, being regent
member for the college and he was we'll
known here. The company owned a
line Of elevators in the northern part
Of the state and Mr.. Norby also had

commerce. Speculation is given as
the reason for the firms failure.

PAUL GILMORE

Considering that it was the wettest
night of the year, there was a fair
audience at the Grand last evening to
welcome Paul Gilmore back to Bur
lington. The bill was "The Mummy
and the Humming Bird" and Mr.. Gil
more took the part G; Lord Lumley,'
who is the mummy. He played it
here before, and with n exception,
The Tyranny of Tears" it is the best
Of the list Of plays in which he has
appeared here. Mr. Gilmore pleased,
as he always does. And as has been
his wont, he has surrounded himself
with a company of very competent
people, and the "Guiseppi' Of Paul
Terhune, was a very cleaver bit OF
work and Miss Kathryn Hutchinson
made a very charming Lady Lumley.'
The other parts were well taken and
as is the rule nowadays, the settings
we're in excellent taste and left moth
ing to be desired.
Mr.. Gilmore includes in his roper
toire this year, Clyde Fftch's THE
Bachelor" and The WOlk." He is to-
day one of the strongest actors along
his particular lines, and ought to be
one Of the most popular. Great sue
cess comes over night TO some, and
others gain it by years of hard work
and unremitting effort. There are
those have followed Mr.. Gilmore's
work with interest, who believe that
he is going to reach the goal and will
be ranked with the really great men
in his profession. He has very much
in his favor and II he does not reach
the highest rung on the ladder OF
fame, it will not be because Of lack
Of effort on his part..-Birlington
Hawkeye.
Paul Gilmore will appear in THE
Mummy and the Humming Bird" at
the Grand opera house in Brookings
Tuesday evening. July 4th.
