lies dead in the church of the Warne-
Lynch Undertaking Company, evil
IDENTIFY the victim of highway as
sassin, and DR.. s. NJ. Mason, coroner,
is busy trying to learn the identity
of the murder. Thus far the taking
of Kyle's life is shrouded in mystery
and no nearer solution than when
his body was found ten hours ago
Coroner Mason will cont1ue per-
sonal inquiry into the murder with
a view to holding an inquesct tomor-
row.
No more is known about the mo-
tive Of the murderer than about his
identity.

liam Michaels, an employee at the
CIarksburg casket factory, as he was
going to his work Friday morning,
at O'Clock. AS he approached the
interurban street car line trestle near

ON pile OF crossties near the track.

the man was dead. He aroused peo-
pie who live nearby and Coroner s.
NJ. Mason was notified. DR.. Mason
went to the scene and had the body
removed to the undertaking estab-
lishment where the inquest will be
held.

hood tell different stories as to the
time of shooting. one man living
across the river from the place
where the man was found stated
that he heard ave shots fred Thurs
day night shortly tter IL o'clock
while another resident says that he

ton OF the body when found the

true.

family at Mt. Clare, but had come
to the city Thursday night to look
after some business matters. The
members Of his family we're shocked

MAY CHANGE POSITIONS
Judges RuIing That Arms of Fair At

Chicago.-Al ye motOrcylists who
are compelled to speed along the
boulevards with a pair of feminine
arms clasped about your waists as the
only reminder that there is fair at
traction on the rear seat are hereaf-
ter forbidden to cast your eyes toward
this same fair attraction by order of
the court. Your eyes should be glued

There is hope, however, that a de-
cision rendered by a Chicago judge
may inadvertently change the rela-
tive position of chauffeur" and pas
senger In other words the decision
probably will have the result either
of changing the construction of the
machines so that the passenger seat
will be in front or of causing the fair
attraction to guide the cycle herself.
In the latter case the change of
position of "hugger'' and "huggee"
viii afford the motoFcyclist ample
time to gaze at the fair attraction
while she keeps a watchful eye an
