Bullet Hole in Head Leads to the
Theory OF Either Suicide
or Murder.

The blackencd an decomposed
lody Of a white man was found in
the cottonwoods about half mile
south OF the gas works near The

1401 Commercial avenue, and

street yesterday afternoon about
a'ol5clS The BODY was lying on its
back undcr two small trees in a
thicket several hlndred feet from
the c9rnfeld Of Frank Fitzscrald's.
Tho two men were out looking at
tho sunaower crop and in returning
towards the city they came suddenly
upon the corpse,
The men reported the gruesone
find at police headquarters and Of
fcer Terry and FCrmo" Cbiof llgan
went out in an auto 10 Wow tho
j body and to identify the body is
possible. Only a cursory oXamlna-
ton of the body was made at this
time, and the clothing was not
! searched that being Left for the coro-
ner's jury at the inquest which will
! be held today
The face Of the dead man was as
black as tar, but the hands were Of
natural color 1t was judged that
the man had been dead for week
or more.
A bullet hole was in the head and
tho appearance indicated that the
throat had been cut Whether death
! was the result of suicide or whether
a murder had been committed, il
was not possible to say There wa:
10 evidence that a struggle haC
taken place No pistol was founf
in the vicinity.
The body was that of a mar
about thirty years old, Of medium
height and weight about 165 pounds
! 4 light beaver hat size IA, wa,

striped drab suit of coat and trous
crs and white striped shirt;
small black bow tie was about tht

clean shaven with exception of {
small mustache which was streakec
with gray.
Speculation is rife as to whethe
! death was caused by suicide o
someone had murdered the man ant
hidden his body in the thicke
where it was quite likely no on
would find it for some time.
AS no one has been reported a

is that of a stranger.
