FOUND m THE RIVER.
A Case of Either Murder or Self
Destruction
Discovery of q Body Supposed to be
That of a Young Man Named
E. j. Kane.

On Saturday forenoon a man notified
Justice Kaupsof Washington that he had
| discovered the body of a man floating
down the river. and had secured it to
some brush about opposite Freeport.
Justice Kaup sent word 10 Coroner
George Clark, and Deputy Coroner Fen
ton went down the river with the Justice
to where the body had been secured.
They found it to be that Of an unknown
young man, apparently 10 or 20 years of
age. The deceased was a person of light
complexion and hair, with no beard.
The body was dressed in light tweed
suit, the coat being doubled breasted,
square-cut sack; white shirt and stand
ing collar; in the shirt was an imitation
diamond pin.
In one of the pockets of the coat was
found a receipt, in the name of E. J. Kane,
for registered letter, No. 7,55l, adj
dressed to Morris Harvey, Orangeburg,
n. Y, a postoffice key numbered 63l,
several postal cards, envelopes and blank
sheets of note paper, pocket-knife, 80
| callber pistol cartridge, and 81 Is in
money. After the name on the receipt
referred to were the words, "Young
Mems Christian Association"
| On examining the body but one wound
was found upon it. That was in the right
temple. showing where bullet had
entered, but there was no wound to indi-
cate that the bullet had made its exit.
| 1t was evident that the body had been
in the water for a long time, as it was
badly bloated. Justice Kaup decided to
| hold an inquest there which was done,
the jury finding that the deceased was
supposed to be person named E. j.
Kane, and that he came to his death from
a pistol or rifie-bullet wound inflicted by
some person unknown.
The body was buried on the Yolo side,
it not being in condition to keep.
! There are different theories entertained
as to the manner in which the deceased
met his death, some regarding it case
of suicide, and others as one of murder.
| If suicide, the unfortunate youth must
have gone into the water before shooting
| himself, and the fact that there was
money in one of his pockets induce
many to believe that the deceased took
his own life.
On the other hand, the money and
pistol-cartridge could have been placed
in his pocket as blind by person after
shooting him.
The officers of the Young Mems
Christian Association of this city do not
know of any such person, and the prob
ability is that he was an utter stranger
here.
Should any light be thrown on the
mystery surrounding the identity Of the
deceased the body will be disinterred
