NOT FRENCH'S REMAINS.
Mystery Over the Human Body Found
Near Bru1e.

Near Bru1e.
West Superior, Wis, July 1.-[Spe-
cial- Coroner HoWson and number of
the leading physicians of this city, after
a careful examination have concluded
that the remains found on the banks of
a small lake twenty miles south of Brule
station are not those of William French
of Marshalltown, Ia. who disappeared
from Brule last winter in mysterious
manner. The doctors hold that the YER
zebra bones are not those of fully de-
yeloped man as French, alias Dan Ryan,
was, but they are undoubtedly human
remains. This makes the case quite
mysterious as the residents Of the town
of Brule cannot recall the disappearance
of any young person from that vicinity.
The authorities are still Investigating the
matter, but thus far without success.
French's sister, Miss Celia French of
Austin, Mimi, formerly of Marshall
town, Ia, who telegraphed that she was
coming to investigate, is thought to be
now at Brule, not having arrived in this
