TROOPERS FIND
DEAD Man, WAS
MURDERED, THEORY

The finding of the dead body
OF a Mexican in some brush
about one mile east of the sold
iers' camp at the Fair Grouhds
this morning has afforded Il
mystery which the combined o.
forts of the sheriff and coroner
have been unable to lear '.r.
The body of the man WIS found
by cavalry troopers returning
from their morning exercise. IL
lay behind a bush anu there
were tracks o! some ,sht se7
hiclc to ard from the spot indl-
eating that the man lad been
carried to the place and
thrown there. Marks on the
body strengthen the theory tlat
he was murdered. Nothing was
found on the body to establish
Identification. From appearance
cs the body had laid where it
was found for ten days or two
weeks.
Various clews have been
worked up by the sheriff, tne
being that u coal miner dis"p-
Deured from Morley about two
weeks ago, but the description
of the missing man does let
correspond with the dead man.
A thorough Investigation is te-
ing made and the authori:.es
hope to establish the identity or
the dead man before night.
