YOUNG MAN FOUND
MURDEREMMAN
UNDER SUSPICION
Body of Thomas S. Thompson,
"South Side Workman, Dis
covered With Two Bullet
Holes in Head.
t i up
Thomas S. Thompson, age 27, was
found dead with' two bullet wounds
in bis head in his home at 4517 South
Seventeenth street, South Side, yes
terday afternoon by Sam Morris, who
lives next door. All' indications of
his death point to murder.
The body was found lying on the
floor of a front bedroom of Thomp
son's little cottage which sets back
from the street beside a cliff.
One bullet penetrated the head
above the right ear and another be
low the ear. The right side of his

There were no signs of a struggle
about the room." A gold watch, which
friends say he valued highly, is miss
ing from his person ana his pockets
were empty. No other valuables in
the house were disturbed. Three bank
books which belong to Thompson
show that he has several hundred dol
lars to his credit.
It is not known whether he had any
money on his person, which if true
would strengthen the theory that the
motive of the murder was robbery.
Woman Seen at House.
It is thought that Thompson was
murdered Sunday night as he wa
last se?n in his home at that time by
J. W. Thome, 4537 South Seventeenth
street. Ruth and Mildred Daily, who
live at 4529 South Seventeenth street,
told the police that they heard a shot
fired about 9 o'clock Sunday night,
but paid no attention to it.
A woman who was seen in the
house with Thompson is believed to
have fired the fatal shots and police
are bending every effort to locate her.
According to Alfred Thorn, neighbor,
the woman wears several diamonds
apparently of great value.
Woman's Identity Secret.
At en early hour this morning, her
whereabouts were still unknown tg
-the police. Her identity is aot dis
closed. ,
Neighbors say that Thompson has
been living alone in the little three
room cottage for eight months during
which time he has oeen employed as
a mechanic in the ice machine plant
at Swift's packing house.
Previous to that he had been in the
harness business at La Mour, South
Dakota,
As far as could be learned, Thomp
son was unmarried, It is not known
whether he has any relatives. The
body was turned over to Heafey &

the former plan and Nebraska and
its agricultural resources are being
pushed to the fore. ,
K. A. Smith, head of the Union Pa
cific agricultural publicity department,
has had a force of men put through

From Exemption Board
M. C. Peters, member of the dis
trict exemption board, has gone to
Texas for recuperation after the
strenuous four months, during which
the board passed on thousands of ex.
empton claims.
It is said that Mr. Peters wishes to
resign from the board, not from his
own desires, but because he is com
pletely broken down by the strain and
thinks a new man could take tip the
work better for the second draft.
"My father is almost a nervous
wreck," said R. M. Peters yesterday.
"He i6 of the temperament that takes
things to heart, so he has taken all
the troubles of the claimants for ex
emption and their relatives on his
shoulders. I do pot know anything
about his seeking to resign, however.
For some weeks ne has been at home
resting and now has gone south for a
change which it is hoped will help
him. Before he took up the exemp
tion board work he was in splendid
health. Most of his co-workers on
the board have been likewise impaired
in health because of the strain. '
