Body of Auditor, Missing 11 Months, Found in Creek Relatives Advance Theory df Murder—Frank Peklo Is Identified by Dental Work. Search for Frank Peklo, 38, former ly an auditor for the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance association, which had continued for 11 months, ended abruptly Saturday night when Pekio's body was found floating in the Pappio creek where it empties into the Missouri river. The body was found by Dr. W. A. Kelty, 381S Oold street, and R. J. Barca. 3107 South Twentieth street, who were on the river hunting ducks. The body was in such a decomposed condition that identification had to he made by dental work and pieces of clothing remaining on the body. Identified by Teeth. Dr. K. L. Soukoup declared that a bridge In the man's mouth was one he had made for Peklo more than a year ago. Anton Tondl identified the suit as one which he had made for Peklo. Peklo disappeared October 30, 1023 It was believed then that he had gone to California. His family now believe that' he was murdered and his body thrown into the river. Mrs. Anna Peklo, his mother, died August 14 as a result of a broken heart For weeks priur to her death, her sons said, she f illed for Frank. Summoned to Store. Frank Peklo was summoned on the morning of his disappearance to the store operated by his brothers at Twenty-first and Q streets. Bill Class a carrier boy for The Omaha Bee. had found the door of the store open and had reported it. That was the last time Peklo was seen. His accounts at the Woodmen of the World offices were checked and found in perfect order. After that no reason for his disappearance could be found. Three weeks after his disappear ance his hat was found on a sand liar In the river near Bellevue. This stimulated search and for more than two weeks parties were on the river daily dragging it. Other searching parties combed the hanks of the river and I lie w oods near South Omaha. Murder Theory. Charles Peklo, a brother, declares that he believes Frank went to tlio store to Investigate and surprised the robbers at work. The robbers, Charles Peklo thinks, struck Frank over the head and killed him, then put the body into a truck or car and carried It to Pappio creek where they disposed of it. The store was robbed of more than $2,700 worth of cloth inp. Because of this belief relatives of Peklo have demanded an inquest.

M. MAt'PIN, Staff ( »rrr*|M>ndent The Omaha Bee. Waukesha, Wig., Sept. 28.—Three Pullman sleepers filled with enthusi astic dairymen and dairywomen ar rived in Chicago this morning from Nebraska. The enthusiasm was so great that three Pullmans originally chartered were not enough and a fourth car was used for the over flow. Each of the excursionists wore a scarlet and cream hatband, In scribed: "Corn and Cowq, Make Ne braska Cream of the Corn Belt." The party, under the personal es cort of Otto Bribers of the Univer sity of Nebraska, and sponsored by the Nebraska Dairy Improvement as sociation, Is en route to Milwaukee to the national dairy show.

The development of the in dustry in this section was a revela tion to the visiting Nebraskans. It gave them a comprehensive Idea of what may he accomplished in Nebrss ka, where the dairy conditions are far better than they are here. Ne braska can raise more ai>d better feed per acre than can Wisconsin. The hardest thing to do fn order to make Nebraska the greatest dairying state in the union. Is to interest the farmers, who have always given tlieir entire attention to grain raising and stock feeding.
