Closely associated with all progress,
said Judge Goodwin, was the progress
of the mining industry. Our ancestors,
he said, from 1920 to lS49 were woe
fully poor. The beginning of our ma

Importance was not to be compared
with the sailing out of the bay Of the

The following story OF the death ali.
peared In the Waterloo Courier OF
Tuesday evening:
An unknown man, believed to be j.
L. Kessler of this city, was found dead
in an Illinois Central box car at
Charles City at o'clock this morn
ing. The car left this city at 9.45
last evening and 1t Ia believed that
Kessler either entered the car Of his
own accord or was placed there after
being assaulted. The only means Of
identification was card containing
the name Of J. l.. Kessler. There are
several Kessler families In Waterloo,
but the officers have been unable to lO-
cate anyone who is related to J. L.
Kessler
Police headquarters received notice
of the discovery Of the dead mans
body at an early hour this morning
and the officers have been making an
effort to solve the mystery. In addi-
ton to seeking information relative to
j. H. Kessler, the officers have also
been working on the theory that the
dead mans name was not Kessler.
They believe 1t is possible that he had
picked up card bearing that name on
the street.
The card is one Of the thousands OF
cards distributed on the street by

Huerta had done little to indicate he

to recognize the menace of Villas
