or, Qhough they had not lived together
Tor some years on account of alleged in.
ndelity pm her part, vas suddenly missed
from town (Aarsnge) under circum.
stances raising supicion that he had
drowned her in the Iowa river near town.
We believe he Was apprehsnded, but no
evidence tending to establish his guilt
beng elicited on examination he was dis
charged. Soon thereafter he enlisted IN
the 28th Iowa, and was ssnt forward TO
that regiment.
On Monday last the body of Mn.
Fletcher was found in the river about two
miles below town. A Coroner's iury
was empanneled under the direction Of
Justice Willis, but having examined the
body failed to find from suoh inspection
any seonclnslse evidence of the cause of
death. OF course the universal belief 4
that che vas thrown into the river and
droyned, though she might have been
murdered and then thrown into the v.tesf

the matter will be Instituted.
