ANOTHER ST. LOUIS MYSTERY.
Discovery of Body in the
River.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-In the discovery of
the body of George Remmert in the river
another mystery has been added TO the
long list of this city. George Remmert was,
until his disappearance, a porter, and had
been with his employer for thirteen con-
secutive years. On January he went to
the store TO meet his employer TO talk
ever some private business. The CONVEX
sation was held. Remmert said good-by
and departed somewhat in a depressed
state This was the last seen of MIN until
his body was recovered in the river yester-
day.
When found the body was beginning to
decompose and the identity was dis
covered by the apparel. which was recog-
nized by his family and relatives. But it is
by this apparel that the mystery surround
ing Remmert's disappearance is increased.
The shoes he wore on the day on which
ne was last seen were almost new, and the
shoes were on the body when found in the
river and they show no signs of wear.
Nor did the other articles of his apparel
show any increased wear. The body had
been in the water not over ten days.
Taking these facts into consideration the
unwOrn or unused condition of the mans
apparel and the time that the body is
said to have been in the water in connee-
ton with the time which has passed since
his disappearance, brings about the ques-
ton, where has George Remmert been
in the interim between his disappearance
January and the placing of his body in
the river"
