L. R. HIATT FOUND DEAD L. R. Hiatt, a well
driller and a widower with four children under 13 years, was found dead
Tuesday at 3 p.m. on the prairie three miles east of Kildare with his
throat cut on each side. An inquest showed he had been dead 48 hours.
He was buried Wednesday. It is a very mysterious case. There are some
indications of possible suicide, but he was a man of steady habits, and
no cause for sucide is known. His children say he had a pocket book of
some money, but neither was found on his person. Foul play is likely the
cause of his death.
