"UNCLE SAM'S SYSTEM ENABLES IDENTIFICATION"
(Kaylynn's Note: The following is a two part story of a body found in Grand Island in January of 1925. The report on the finding of the body, if there was one, is not available.)
Sheriff Palmer received a telegram Saturday morning from the Yale and Towne Manufacturing company, at Stamford, Conn.,
|
in reply to one sent by the official in regard to the postoffice key found in the clothing of the man found dead Wednesday. The number of the key 8288, and is the series used by the postoffice at Monroe, Mich. It is possible that an identity of the man can be secured by this information. Sheriff Palmer is now in communication with the postmaster of that city.

"Hope of Identification Of Stranger Abandoned"
County Attorney Suhr and Sheriff Palmer, who have endeavored to procure identity of the man found dead last week in the cinder car of the Union Pacific, have given up all hope. Following up the clew (sic) of the postoffice key, found on the dead man, which was reportedly by thy Yale lock people, to be the series used at Monroe, Mich., it has been disclosed that this identity was not the case, as information has reached them that this key was purchased at Ft. Collins, Colo., by a Mexican, about 24 years of age, with a scar on his face, caused from an operation. The dead man does not in any way tally with the description given. The county attorney notified Mr. Geer, of the county board, of the fact and the later is making arrangements for the foreigner's burial. The Union Pacific officials made an effort Thursday to take the finger prints, but the dry condition of the fingers made this impossible.
