Rashleigh Of Cleveland came to his death
by drowning. His dead body was fshed out
of the Mississippi at Acres Landing twelve
miles below St. Louis a coroners inquest
legalized the unhappy affair, and his body was
consigned to the gave while his farewell epis-
tie was preserved to make known the cause of
his sudden departure. Thus it was ohronicled
on or about the l45h of April last, the only
consolation remaining was the insurance of
sereateea thousand dollars on his life, which
would tend to sooth the sorrows Of an afflict-
ed wife or some one else. But alas, for the
success Of the play. a Clevelander who knew
Rashleigh CHANGED to go to Cincinnati, the
other day and entering the office Of the Com
mercial, unannounced, stood face to face with
him who was dead buried and had risen
again, for it was none other than Rashiegh.

pers stated that the pody OF man was taken
from the Mississippi twelve miles below the

the desperate act, by financial embarrasments,
and an unfaithful wife. A few days later and
he is seen having every appearance OF life
walking and running as only luan wishing to
flee from impending trouble can run. What
answer. 1t Is limited that the seventeen thou
sand dollars insurance aud woman with
whom he is now living, inspired the whole
farce, which came 50 near being success.
What next. The Coroner says, no body was
found and the whole thing was bogus.
