a woodpile back of the Dakota Monu-
ment Works on Lower Front street
yesterday afternoon, was last seen
alive, SO far as officials have been able
to determine, when he was in the Bel
mont hotel barber shop, about o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
BARRIERS who identified the dead man
as the early afternoon customer. state
that he acted queerly while in the
place.
The body was found by Officer Nick

the exception of slight scratch on the
cheek, shows no sign OF violence. An
inquest will be held this afternoon.
Nothing that might identify the man
was found in the pockets. His total
assets were Is cents and a jack knife.
One thing which the county officials
believe might lead to his identification
is that the left leg is shorter than the
right. The hair of the victim is dark
and inclined to be curly. The cheek
bones are higher than the average ana
quite prominent.

the people take advantage Of it. At
the present time there is $67,660 in the
water works fund, to which the wat
er rentals go. With a collection omit
ted for the month Of July, the expense
of operating the plant will continue,
but there will be no money coming in.
The monthly water rents amount to
something between $500 and $4,000.
If the proposition works out well
for the month of July it is possible
that other ommissions of collection
will be provided for, If too much ad-
vantage is not taken by the water con-
sumers of the opportunity.
