DEAD MEXICAN MAY
HAVE BEEN SLAIN

Contrary TO first impressions. il Is
now believed by many that the Mexi.
can, whose body was found about
four miles east OF Elko Monday night,
was a victim of foul play At first
the general belief was that he had
fallen from n train, but facts have
later developed which lead to the be-
lief that he may have been murdered.
The mans name is believed to be
either John Aurelios or J. Rodriguez,
and he was evidently a section hand
of crew No. Il. AS far as can be
learned it is evident that he left To
bar In company with three or four
other MeXicans whose present where
abouts are unknown. One of the four
later called for the dcceased's roll of
bedding at the w. p. depot claiming
it belonged 10 him and that he had
lost his baggage check.
The officers are doing all in their
power TO unravel the mystery but they
have very little to work on.
The coroners jury brought in a
verdict to the effect that the deceased
had lost his life by having fallen, or
having been thrown from train by
parties unknown.

1t is expected that Asquith will not
answer Bryce. The points which are
outlined in Bryce's inquiries. if an.
swered in the open and carried into
the Teuton headquarters would be of
immense strategic value to the Ger
mans. For instance, il the Germans
knew what plans for peace the neut-
rails had proposed, and if 1t was
thought that the English people at
this might balk for peace, if they
knew that there was a strong effort
among the neutrals for peace; might
cause Germany TO take steps to clinch
the neutrals argument. by military op-
erations.
So the government red-tape does not
require that Asquith answer the in.
quiries directed TO him by Bryce, and
II is very improbable that Asquith
will come into the open in parliament
and tell matters which might put the
English military department at a dis.
advantage.
