Although tliero were no now devel

today several rumors gained currency
in effect that thu identity of thu dead

hud been established. One story was
that the deceased was tlio man Doyle,

scription of one tallies very closely wit!
tho other, even to tho clothing. Dr.

given tho matter by tho newspapers
will eventually result in clearing up

A PROBABLE lYlUKUtK. f
Ituil of a Man liiuod In the Undertint
er Ada in.
The remains of an unknown roau
were found Wednesday between Ad
ams and Firth. They were lying In a
draw near the Nemaha und were cov
ered with underbrush. The wero dis
co ered by hunters, who notified the
coroner of Gage county. The man
had been dead so long that the flesh
had ull decayed. A bullet hole was
in his skull. The inference ia that he
-was shot. It is probable, from the
kind of clothing and its condition, that
tho remains had lain there at least sla
months, aud maybe more. The re
niains were tltose of a young man, ap
parently about -'5 years old.
The caso is as yot shrouded in abso
lute mystery. No one has been miss
ing from that section of the eouatrr.
nor is there apparently as yot any clue
us to who the man was. Coroner Mil
ler has ordered the remains aud cloth
ing sent to Heatrloe and will place
them in the vault iu tho court hou.e
b.iseineut, hoping at f-otne future time
to bo able to unearth tho mystoty.
