Rock Island PIow company, was
discovered at 5:45 yesterday morn

He had apparently been dead for

About 4:45 O'Clock Mrs. Schur-
krast had occasion to carry articles
to the garbage can, and at the
time she noted the garage door
was closed. Shortly after her at

and she was surprised to see the
door swinging open in view of the
fact that it hangs so tightly that a
sudden gust of wind could have 10
effect.
