the body of an unknown white man, partly
covered with sand with no clothing upon him
except pair of boots, stockings and the lower
portion of his drawers. There appeared TO be
no marks of violence upon his person, nor any
thing by which he could be identified The
boots seemed TO have been recently half-soled,
and one Of them had patch upon it, He was
about five feet s or . inches in height, and up-
peared to have full set of natural teeth, the
teeth in his lower jaw being SO close together
and so crooked rs TO look like double row.
What little hair was upon his head was dark,
without, believe, any gray hairs. think he
must have been over 40 years of age. An in
quest was held by Justice Waters, the jury
rendering verdict that the deceased had come
to his death from some cause unknown to the
jury, but supposed to be from drowning, wheth-
er accidental or not they could not determine
