Found Drowned.

On Wednesday afternoon a son Of
Louis Kraatz aged about II years, who
lives about seven miles south Of this city
went to the river to get a drink of water.
He saw the head and shoulders of
corpse above the mud and water near
the shore and ran back and told his folks.
The body was taken from the water and
the authorities notified.
DR.. Erskine the coroner, with DR.. Har-
ris, and a jury composed Of George w.
Ryan. and G. G. Thompson Of Pembina
and Fred Gardner of Hamilton examined
the remains on Thursday.
The body had evidently been in the water
tor long time, was somewhat bloated,
a part of the flesh of the nose gone, and
and the hair had entirely disappeared.
1t was thought from appearances that
the deceased had been sandy or light
complexioned man weighing about 100
pounds. He was feet 10 inches tall but
had no marks OF identification. He was
dressed IN warm working mans clothes.
About u in silver and corn-cob pipe
and tobacco sack were in his pockets
also pair of iron pliers and three bone
crochet needles. A letter, written on a
single sheet on both sides, evidently
written by himself was also found, but
was so badly blurred from the effects of
the folds and the water, that it was. diff
cut to decipher except in spots. 1t was
written in quite good handwriting, but
some of the words were mis-spelled, and
was evidently to a sweetheart in Dakota
though addressed to dear wife. In sub
stance as near as could be read it was as
follows.
West Duluth, Oct. 2, 1899,
Dear Wife. Why havn't you written
me. l have been expecting letters from
you, Why not get married,
what is the use of waiting long tor the
time when can call you my wife. ......
see you have had bad weather in Da-
kota, we have had good weather here. >.
Your afectionate,
HENRY.
The deceased had no teeth in the up
per jaw and it was thought by the ply
sicians that he had worn false teeth. He
was dressed in a duck coat with corduroy
collar, a ''smock" about his waist, wooden
trousers, good underwear, and common
SHOES. The jury rendered verdict, in
accordance with above facts and the body
was buried in the city cemetery. ~

Easter services at the various churches
were attractive and we'll attended. The
NJ. E. church was without preaching. but
the Sunday school had special attractions
to the children in unique little birds
nests filled with candy eggs. The Pres

rem in similar pleasing manner. Father
Perquis officiated at the Catholic church
at the special service for Easter At the
Episcopal church in the evening the
regular choir was reinforced by several

cation. The same musical program will
be repeated at this church on Low Sum

Nothing could be more beautiful than
"out doors" on Sunday last. Bright
and balmy air, warm sunshine, with the
green OF vegetation just showing through
the ground. And as a contrast the
memories Of many people went back to
that dire Easter Sunday of 1897 when the
storm clouds and wind rolled over the
troubled surface of the widespread
waters of tie flood. When waves of
almost ocean height beat against the frail
sides of buildings standing in the waste
OF waters, and icy spray formed fantastic
festoons even to tops of telegraph poles.
This is pleasant world when pleasant,
but when the gods Of the wind and
storm ride triumphant, nature seems a
pitiiess mother.
