BODY Of SUICIDE
FOUND BY BOYS.
NO IDENTIFICATION MARKS
FOUND ON THE BODY
BURIED YESTERDAY.

Boys roaming in the woods near
Lonstorf Greek north of the railroad
tracks and away from the paths
leading along the banks of the
creek to the lake, Wednesday came
across the badly decomposed re-
mains of a man. The boys were
out after crows and the large num-
Der in the vicinity of the dead body
led the boys to the spot where the
remains were found.
An investigation by authorities
disclosed no Identification marks of
any kind. The body was in such a
bad state of decomposition that no
marks on the same could be locat-
ed. The clothing failed to disclose
any clue to the Identification of the
body. A partly emptlsu snuff box
and a package of peerless" was all
that was found in the pockets.
The body was that of a man
about 45 years of age and indica-
tons showed that he had committed
suicide by hanging with rawhide
thong. Indications also showed that
the body had been hanging for
about tyo months. The thong at
taching him to the limb of tree
had broken and the break was new
leading to the theory that he had
fallen to the ground only recently.
The remains were brought to the
city by Undertaken Anderson of the
Laing undertaking rooms and pre-
pared for burial. The funeral took
place yesterday. A careful investi-
cation shows no one missing.
