tie Shipley, about four miles below Gin
clnnati, Iowa, but across the Missouri Dor
der. She had gone to stock well, half a
mile distant, for water and failing to re-
turn, her brother, for whom size was keen
ing house, hunted for her, and concluded
she had eloped, and four days after her
body was found by neighbor who was
attracted TO the place by buzzards circling
above it. No clue to the murderer.
