MURDER MYSTERY IN EIiPORIA
Watch and Money Found on Body of
Oklahoma City Man.

Emporia. Aug. 2.-No Roadway was
made by officials today in solving the
mystery of the death of August Ellison
of Oklahoma City, whose body was
found in a patch of weeds near the
Emporia Country club yesterday
Ellison was last seen on a Santa Fe
train Thursday morning in company
with two rough looking men. No
marks were found on the body but two
mep's hat and an umbrella lying near
the body have puzzled the police
Finding of the hats and evidences of
a struggle near the body led police to
the theory that Ellison might have
been lured to the spot and murdered
The man had been dead several days
An obstacle to the murder theory,
however, was the fact that there were
no marks on the body and that a
watch and $40 were found in EEson's
clothing.
Other theories pursued by the police
were that Ellison had committed sui
eide. that he had succumbed to a
stroke of apoplexy or that his death
resulted from a fall from a small en-
bankment.
The body was buried and no inquest
was held.
