THE FLOATER Is IDENTIFIED.
Lake Washington Corpse That of John
III. Shawness- How Did He Dies

The body found on the beach at Bailey
poiut. Lake Washington, Friday proved
to be that of John II. Shawness, VINO
used to work for G. II. Baker. now re-
ceiver of the Merchants National bank.
Shawness was past middle age and a
great sufferer from asthma lie worked
for Mr.. Baker at Brighton Beach Tor
about six months dating from last fali.
Mr. Baker saw him last three or four
weeks ago in the city. when he said he
intended to go to California.
Coroner Askam spent the greater part
of the day in looking up the case, ana
Judging from the papers and other things
on the body, death was due either to ac-
cidental drowning or suicide. little
vial containing white tablets was found
in the dead man vest pocket but there
was nothing to indicate whether they
were poison or some ordinary remedy.
Tt is probable that an analysis VIII be
made to decide the question.
Any theory of robbery was dispelled by
the discovery of good silver watch,
which had stopped at 3:2 o'clock, either
morning or afternoon. Shawness also
had cents. an empty pocketbook and
several papers one of which showed that
he had been past master of Forest Lodge,
No 66, F. & A. NJ. at Allegheny, Sierra
county, Cal. and taken a demit to st.
Johns Lodge, No. Q, of this city. His
dues in the latter lodge were paid last
February.
Coroner Askam thinks that Shawness
lived at the race track in 1889. and made
his living by working around horses.
