MAN FOUND DEAD
NEAR TUSCARORA

The dead body of a man was found
Sunday between Tuscarora and Mi.
das. Up to the present time the body
has not been positively identified, but
it is believed to be that of a stranger
who was in Midas about Christmas
time and who suddenly disappeared
1t is thought that the man started for
Tuscarora on foot, following the tele-
phone line, and that he became ex-
hausted and froze to death.
The body was in a bad state of de-
composition when found, and magpies
had eaten away practically all of the
face and other exposed parts. The
clothing was we'll preserved and In
the pockets were a number of cards
and papers, but none of these served
as a means of identification. On a
watch. the name of H. B. Sutton was
engraved, or rather scratched with a
pen knife, and it is possible that this
was the name of the deceased.
The body was taken to Tuscarora
and an inquest a conducted by
Justice of the Peace Clark, but no
evidence of a satisfactory nature was
adduced.

A. B. Lambert of st. Louis, Writes
the Mexico Commercial Club That
Application is on File.
CONGRESS MAY RAISE FUNDS
viii Give Exhibition Here and Also
Offers TO Organize Signal Corps
in This City. u

Mexico has on file an application
for an aviation squad of the Missouri
National Guard. The matter will like
ly be definately acted upon by Con-
gress during the present session and
an appropriation made to finance this
department of the organization. The
following letter from A. B. Lambert,
of ST. Louis AN aviation enthusiast,
to secretary R. E. Race, of the Mex
leo Commercial Cub, explains the ex-
act status Of matters.
'1n reply to your letter Of Febru-
airy 21;
"a law was passed by Congress
several years ago permitting the Avi-
alton Division of the regular Army to
land aeroplanes and train officers Of
the National Guards of various
states. However, Congress has failed
to provide sufficient funds which
would permit the loan of machines,
for the simple reason that the Army
has not over five first-class aero
planes and these are in daily use to
train their own officers. We hope,
however, that Congress will be more
generous the Forthcoming year and
even take up the question of supply
ing aeroplanes and equipment direct
to the National Guards.
"As soon as something concrete
happens along these lines, l will in
form you. In the meantime, / win
consider you have made application
for this service. There is not much
chance for naturalization for a long
time, nevertheless it might keep up
the interest in your city.
Another thing-we are collecting
money here for the purpose Of buying
several aeroplanes. When this is ac-
complished, will arrange to have
an exhibition for you and will assist
your company to organize Signal
Corps, something very few Of oul
State Companies have.
"You can give this news out-mosl
probably the st. Louis papers woult
Ike to have this item.
There is to be a conference Of
Mayors in st. Louis, March 8 and A.
Mayor Mitchell of New York the Ma
yors Of Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Los
Angeles and many others from al
over the country are coming.
please extend an invitation for mt
to the Mayor of Mexico to attend thil
conference ,or if you will give me hi
name, ! will invite him direct. Thil
conference is called for the purpose
Of discussing National Defense"
