Cedar Rapids, May 16.-The mystery
OF the suicide found on a Milwaukee
train a week ago. is a mystery no
| longer. A photograph received by Chief
Carl yesterday proves beyond a. shadow
of a doubt, that the dead man is Frank
Mikat. who has, q halfobrother. Joseph
Wolf by name. livingaat 242s Cartez
street. Chicago. f..
Yesterday Chief Carl received from
the Chicago police letter and a photo
graph, in answer to letters and tele-
grams he had sent. The photograph
away from the body was not SO good a
likeness as 1t might be. The photo
graph was taken five years ago and
showed q man with mustache.
| It was given to Sergeant Smetena,
expert on Bertillon and measurements
and taken to the Beatty undertaking
esta blishment, where the body of the
suicide had been since last Thursday
night.
Sergeant Smetena, after comparing
the photograph with the face of the
dead man positively stated that 1T was
q photograph Of him. He made the
Identification from the cheek bones, the
neck, the depressed nose base, the fore
head and the shape and contour OF the
ears and forehead.
The letter, which accompanied the
photograph stated that Frank Mikat
was in poor health and had been for
some time He visited his half brother,
Joseph Wolf, on Cartez street, on May
8. At that time he complained of being
in poor health He said he was going
to Cedar Rapids.
1t is probable that on the trip here
he became Respondent over his Ill
health and killed himself, after COM
pletely destroying every mark, so he
thought, that would lead to his identity.
There is one mark that would go to
show that Mikat was the mans name
and that is an initial NJ, marked in the
hat. A dozen collars found among the
mans effects bore the initials B. A. s.
T., and just how this happened is still
to be explained. It is claimed that the
collar worn by the young man the night
he was found dead on the train did not
bear the initials B. A. s. T., as did the
| ones he had in his grip.
The picture will be sent back to Chi
cago and the body sent there for inter-
ment

There were but three bidders In COM

The man who on Tuesday night

was considered a pest by O'Con-
nell, and finally was told to stay
away from the gymnasium. McCarty
refused to do as he was told and
finally the doorkeeper was instructed
to keep him out.

courage him." said O'Connell, 'he
persisted in coming around Finally
/ tried to get him a manager, but no
one cared to take a chance with him.
Then he started out on his own ac-
cord and fouled a manager himself.
He was an apt pupil and rapidly de-
veIoped into good boxer, and 1 am
glad to see him successful He now

plan and 1 have to admit that / was
