SOLDIERS BODY FOUND.
Believed to BE Remains Of Private
Feehan, Missing Since March.

W. ~
Feehan, Missing Since March.
Crook, Neb., May 7.-Decamposed
beyond Identification, the body of
Private Freehan, Company J., Tenth in
fantry was found near a strawstack
on the farm of ID. Upjohn, south of
Fort Crook about two miles. Wednes-
day night a farm hand stumbled over
the gruesome corpse as he was walk
ing in that vicinity.
While there is some doubt as to the
identity of the body, it is believed
there can be no mistake, for the young
man was identified by the number,
"64," inside of his coat and the size of
his shoes. The soft parts of the body
had all sunken and decayed as If eX-
posed to rude weather for months.
Private Feehan had been missing
since March 1, so it is stated at the
post. When he left he had $50 in his
possession and the fact that there was
no money in the dead mans pockets
led to the suspicion that there might
have been foul play.
When found the body was lying
prone on the back with the aspect OF
one who had died a natural death. The
man had removed his coat and vest
and shoes and crawled a few feet from
the hole he had evidently burrowed in
the stack. 1t was first suspected that
he was one of the numerous volun-
teers who deserted last fall when
posses were sent out to round them
up. The physicians held that the
body must have been longer exposed
than two months, but Coroner Belts
held to the theory that the stormy and
wet weather of the past few weeks
would accomplish the thorough de-
composition that had taken place.
