il the body of Peter HolZhammer, a mill
follows:
Rock ISLAND. July 5.--To the coroner
at Burlington. Iowa. Dear Sir-Mrs.
Peter Polzhanmer lost her husband
some two weeks ago and the general
impression here is that he was drowned.
He was a hand at one of our sawmills,
and on the day he disappeared he was
working on raft in the river. Mrs.
Holzhammer called on me today and
showed me piece in the paper which
stated that a man with blue overalls, a
colored shirt, buckled shoes. with 95
cents in his pockets and q bunch of keys
was found at Burlington. and she thinks
possibly the man you have found is her
husband, as the description answers that
of her husband quite we'll. She says il
she could see the keys she would know
whether it was her husband or not. II
you will send the keys to me by express
l will return them to you charges paid. BY
seeing the keys we can determine whether
the body was that of Holzhsmmer or
not I enclose this In vou in slammed
envelope. Address it to me in reply.
Yours truly. E E. PARMRNTER.
In answer to the request Mr.. Inter
kircher forwarded The bunch of keys, the
knife and the pocket book. He feels
confident that identity of the stranger
has been established.
Last evening Mr.. Parmenter received
the box from Burlington and the keys
were fully identified as those belonging to
the missing Holzhammer. who disap,
peared JUICE 9th, as recorded in the ARGUS
about that time. Among the keys re-
ceived by Mr.. Parmenter, as found on the
dead man. was one to the rope house to
the lower mill, one to the paddock by
which Holzhammer's skiff was fastened,
and one to the cabin which he had occu-
pied since his wife left him.
The man was probably drowned while
at work on the logs in pursuance of an
occupation he had held for twenty years.
but how he became dec ipitsted will like
ly never be known.
