Unknown Man Found in Exhibit
Builtliny Monday Morning.
Many Different Theories
Regarding Demise.
An unknown limn, round dead in
the rhiliit liiilliii with his hand
tiL'litly clasped to his jicki'tbnok and
lii.-. fncf set it) the sardonic tfrin that
usually accompanies a violent dcallt
liy alkiioid poisoning, is n sicnr .well
calculated to chill the hlood. The
whole case is shrouded in mystery
and the manner of the stranger's vio
lent death is 11 matter of much con
jecture. The muscles of the dead
man were sit tightly set and drawn
in the "rigor mortis" as to suggest
tetanus by alkiioid poisoning. There
are in the exhibit building a number
of ancient Indian relics, many of
which were formerly implements of
war. It was formerly a custmn
among many of the Indian tribes to
poison their arrows and the slight
est scratch from one-of these dead
ly arrowheads would result in a nmst
!-itdden and violent death.
I There is another theory, however,
ilhat MM-ms more plausible. A stran
! -.'cr was seen in the building at a late
hour S.-itunlay njphi in an earnest
di-cusHoii with J.'K. Burkdull, a )o
i cal real estate man. who has an of
fice iit.ilie building. Now, if the
i body of a man had been found in
the building Monday morning, there
I is Li'ly one reasonable deduction to
! draw from the eireumstanee. Mr.)
Harkdull had interested the stranger
in the pnrelia-e of u Queen Anne lot,
when the latter discovered the ridic
ulously low pcicc at which the lots
are selling, II nas seized with an
.'Mad, of licit rt di-tese while in the
