The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance Of II. Il. Anderson, the luckless grain
specuiator, has been solved Yesterday his
body was taken from a shallow, narrow
grave on the river bank, near whore 1t
was found floating last Monday. a hasty
inquest followed the finding of the body,
and then the dead son OF a wealthy woman
was unccremoniously dumped into u pau
per's grave.
The description OF the body. published in
yesterdays journal. led the friends of cap
tain Anderson to believe that the suicide
had been taken from the river and they
determined to have the question definitely
settled. Yesterday the body was fully ideu-
tilted as that of Captain Anderson by Mr..
c. D. French and others
1t Will be remembered that the body was
taken from the Missouri river Monday
afternoon by the captain of the Liberty
ferry boat, at Liberty landing. II was
found whore 1t had washed close to the
shore, just south of the landing. After 1t
had been taken from the water an Inquest

buried close TO the bank of the river. Yes
terday c. II. French had Stine Il Son. un-
dertakers, go to the place of burial and
remove the body, believing from the de-
that 1t was the body of the late II. u. An.
derson. The body was yesterday eNhumed
from the fourteen men grave anu NlotNiit
to this city where it now lies in II. slime
& Sons morgue. The body was in such an
advanced stage of decomposition that 1t
was impossible to discern his features. ON
his shirt and collar were found the Initials,
ar. b. A." which were those of the dead
mans name. The body was also clothed in
the clothing recognized by his friends as
that of Captain Anderson on the day OF
his disappearance. There was n bullet hole
through his head. the bullet apparently
entering behind the right ear and coming
ont midway between the eyes, just above
the bridge of the nose. 1t appeared that
the bullet had been fired Just before the
fatal plunge had been taken.
Captain Anderson had been very unfor.
tunate in his speculations on the board of
trade within the last two years losing
about 5000, 900 of his mothers money gnd
much more of his own money. on the day
of his disappearance he had left n letter
addressed to c. d. French, saying that he
intended to take his own life.
kilograms were sent to his mother last
night regarding the burial of her SON. ana
il is vet undetermined whether he VIII be
buried in this city or at the home OF MS
mother Mrs Ellen Anderson, at East
port, Me.
1t is not believed that Captain Anderson
met with foul play, but 1t is thought that
he shot himself on the bank or the river
and tumbled into the water.
