tend to cast suspicion on him. Tomorrow
he will be taken to see the body of the

A CORPSE IN A FISHING NET

The Dreams of a Murdered Mans Broth
er Lead to the Identification of His
Corpse.
DAYTON, o., March 17.-Last May Will
liam Beirsdorfer, keeper of grocery and
saloon at Brickland, left home with $500
to go to Wapakoneta to buy goods. He
was seen to get off the cars at WapakO-
meta with two strangers, but was never
seen nor could any trace of him be found
after that. Three months afterwards two
sportsmen fishing in the st. Mary's reser-
Voir, about 20 miles west of Wapakoneta,
caught corpse in their net. The BODY
was badly eaten by fish and was unre-
cognlzable. There was a bullet hole
through the forehead and rope, with a
large stone attached to it, around the
neck. There were no papers or articles
found on the corpse to give a clue bv
which it might be identified. The body
was consigned to an unknown grave.
j. w. BeirsdOrfer, brother of William
Beirsdorfer, who lives in this city, has Tor
the past week been troubled with un-
pleasant dreams about his missing
brother, such as seeing him drowning,
until the matter has preyed on his mind
to the extent that he went to Wapas Oneta
and renewed the search for a clue as to
his whereabouts. While there he acei-
dentally came across an old weekly paper
containing an account of the finding of
the body in the reservoir. 1t contained a
description of the clothes found on the
corpse, which corresponded exactly with
those worn by his brother the day he left
home. A ring found on one of the corpse's
fingers identified 1t beyond a doubt as the
body of William Beirsdorfer.
That he was murdered and robbed there
no No T.
serted, on presumably good authority,
that in the eXhuming of the tody to make
Identification positive a clue was found
which it is hoped will lead to the capture
OF the murderers. Detectives have been
engaged and are now at work on the case.
