UNKNOWN DEAD
 LAY IN FIELD
No Mark of Identification Large Sum of Money in Pocket - Belief T h a t Death Was Immediate Result of Hemorrhage

The body of an unknown man was found in a field about four and 9 half miles east of the city yesterday morning. It lay under a cottonwood tree by the side of a lateral near the railroad track south of the half way house. Coroner Parker and Deputy Sheriffs Woof and Murphy went out with an undertaken from Moore X McCleliand's.
 The body, with the arms out stretched, lay across a slight ridge on the ground. It was in such a shape that there could be no identifi cation. Not even the age of the dead man or the color of his hair could be guessed at.
 So unnaturally was the body swollen that the size of the dead man was a matter of doubt But the feet were small and the hands, the only parts not swollen or otherwise disfigured, were small and delicate, the hands of one not use to manual labor.
 Death must have occurred a week before. The dead wore gray trousers, a white shirt, short sleeves and open neck, of the athletic pattern. new Stetson hat lay near by and the feet were encased in new shoes of a good quality. In the pockets Were found pOckebook containing $180 in cur rency. a diamond studded stick pin and gold watch and a small sum of silver. There was not a scrap of paper affording a clue. Under one leg was a small automatic revolver, which at first suggested suicide. The shirt was covered with a great stain of what seemed to be blood and the ground nearby was stained likewise.
 A great quantity of blood, if those stains were caused by blood, could hardly have resulted from gun shot. especially from a bullet of such a small caliber. It was thought that death had resulted from a hemOrr- haze and that the man having felt i'll had sought at some trouble the shade where the body was found.
 On account of the condition of the Gody Coroner Parker ordered it's irr- mediate interment and the inquest which had been begun was adjourned to two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, when it is hoped the identity of the dead will b known. IL is thought that the man may have been stopping at one of the numerous tuberculosis camps in that vicinity, though from none of them has come a report that member has been missing. But in some of the camps there are small cottages in which the invalids live alone and as some of these invalids live very much apart from their neighbors one of them might leave his cottage for days without being missed.

MILK BUSINESS
 ORGANIZATION
Dairymen and Creamery men Get Together fer Better Enforcement of Law TIT Pending Actions Consequently Discussed

All the cases of the dairymen and dc e1lers in milk and milk products for whom warrants had been issued charg- ing them with violating the state law relating to dairies and milk were dis missed yesterday by Justice Parker with the consent of State Chemist Dr. C. F. Meserve and Miss Jane Ryder whose investigations had led to the ar rests An arrangement had been en- tered into between the defendants and the state authorities. for the better ob- servance of the laws which it appeared and had not been intentionally violated
 The dismissal of the actions was the direct result of the organization of an association of dairymen, proprietors of creameries and dealers in milk and milk products for the standardization of all products and for the obedience of sanitary regulations.
 A preliminary meeting for organiza- ton was held last Saturday and an ad- journment was taken until yesterday morning when q large number of those interested in the dairy business as sembled at the superior court room. J. J. Gould was elected temporary chair man and Wilbur TreadweH temporary secretary After addresses by State Chemist Meserve and Chairman Gould, Assistant County Attorney Jacobs spoke of the cases pending in Justice Parker's court They had been sus- pended he said until it could be ascer- tained whether the milkmen and others interested in the dairy business intend ed to cooperate with the authorities in the enforcement of the law. It was determined that the community should he furnished with pure and standard milk. If the dairymen could not fur nish such milk at the present prices they should raise the prices. Dr. Me serve explained what pure and stand ard milk was.
 Tn the meantime the creamery com who had been selling them milk. invit- ing them to attend the meeting that they might know what kind of milk would be salable under the law They were informed that no other would hence forth be received and that those who had cows that could not produce stan dard milk such as contained 14 per cent butterfat would have to get rid of them.
