John w. Davis, Democratic no

full chance to state the issues as
they see them.
When the two acceptance speeches
are over, the issues upon which the
three candidates choose to base
their claims for success will have
been drawn up. But there are no
q fighting issues in prospect
such as have stirred the last few

La Toilette groups are the only
ones talking about an old fasfi5n-

their plans are as yet undecided.
Democratic ehieftains here say Davis

FIND DEAD BODY
OF MAN HERE, NO
MOTIVE VISIBLE
Two Bullet Wounds in
Chest Caused His
Death

Authorities here are mystified as
to the motive for the murder of a
white man, thought to be John w.
Johnson, address unknown, whose
body was found lying beside wa
gon in corral easts Of the railroad
tracks on Saturday.
Two bullet holes through his
chest and head were the cause of
death but the finding of n purse
containing $91.Oo and valuable
gold watch, undisturbed forced Of
fieers to discard any theory of
robbery as motive for the killing
johnson was identified through
kilograms from Postmaster A. II.
Keenan, of Tonopah, Nevada, and
from the collector of internal reve-
nue. at Reno. Coroner Lemons dis
covered money order receipt in
the dead man s pocket and wiring
its number to the postmaster at
Tonopah,, he was informed that the
money order had been made out for
"John w. johnson. The Nevada
postmaster said the number cores
ponded to remittance made by
"John w. Johnson to the collec-
tor of internal revenue at Reno,
March u, 1923. Efforts are being
made by Coroner Lemons to locate
relatives of the dead man.
Not a Tramp
The corral where the body was
discovered by workmen on Satur-
day, was formerly used as a feed
ing place and is located north of
the ice plant. The body lay par
tiallv under a wagon tongue i'll a
feeding shed, the man evidently be-
ing seated on the tongue when he
was killed. Assistant Chief of Po-
lice Sam Griffin, who was notified
of the presence of the body, said
that the corral was a favorite
gathering place for hoboes and
tramps and that because OF the
large number of foot prints all
around the spot where the body was
found. it was impossible to get any
idea, as to who may have done the
shooting. ~ :,
One theory which is being held
by officers is that the shooting
NAV have been the result of quar-
rel between y Johnson and some OF
the other visitors of the corral, and
no other motive than anger may
have been responsible for the
crime.
The fact that johnson wore
rood pair of shoes, almost new
Khaki trousers and a good shirt, as
we'll as the fact that he was in pos
of considerable money, IN
licate that he was not an ordinary
tramp.
An inouest was held on Saturday,
at which n verdict that death came
from bullet wounds, was given.
