Special to the Star.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27-The body of George
Burr, the companion of Prof Wise in the
Pathfinder, was yesterday at Undertaken
Jordan's. preparatory to being sent home
10 st. Louis to-day. The body is in re-
iaarkably good state OF preservation, consid-
cring that death must have ensued three
weeks ago.
The discovery of the body was made by
fisherman who was walking along the
beach, the Identification being made by the
clothing and jewelry of the ill-fated ad-
venturer. The gold cuff-buttons bore the
letter B in bas relief, and on his collar
button were engraved the letters G. B.
His clothing was also found to be marked
with his name. $50 was found i'll his
pocket. The beach was searched for sew
eral miles on each side of where the
