STORE CHANGES HANDS.
Henry Sauter Sells Badger Grocery to
Mr., Campbell.

Mr.. Campbell, a mold grocery man of
Hutchinson, is closing deal with Henry
Santer for the Badger Grocery company.
The deal for the stock and the lease for
the building is practically closed. In
voicing will begin at once. Mr.. -Santer
has owned the Badger store but month.
He came here from Wisconsin when he
bought to store. He had his household
goods shipped to Wichita. They reached
Kansas City at the same time the high
water did and of course were completely
soaked. TIL egoods arrived about a week
ago and when the car was opened it
was found that they were almost total
loss. Among the goods was a $500 piano
which was completely destroyed. When
Mrs. Santer saw the destruction Of the
goods she decided that Wichita could
never seem like home to her and began
to long for her old home. AS a result
Mr. Santer is selling his store and will
move back to Wisconsin.

BODY WAS SIGHTED
Mr.. Watson Saw Corpse in
Arkansas River
SEARCH MADE BY POLICE
Remains Supposed to Have
Been Driven Ashore
SEARCH MADE BY POLICE

About three o'clock yesterday afternoon
8 driver Of an oil wagon named Watson.
telephoned to the police station that he
saw the body of a man or woman float
Ing down the Arkansas river just be-
low the Thirteenth street bridge. He
said that he first saw the body while
fast to Q snag in the river. The foot
was ali that could be seen at first, but
later almost the entire body was visible.
Mr Watson started to so for help, but
later almost the entire body was visible
Mr. Watson started to go for help but
the body was swept from the snag and
foated on down the river.
Immediately after the telephone mes
sage was received Detectives Harry SUIT
ton and Bedford Woods started FOR the
Seneca avenue bridge to intercept the
body. They secured several men to go
with them and after waiting for a time
for the body to appear, decided that it
lad again lodged on some bar or tree
in the river or had been swept ashore
in some of the numerous eddies along
the river. y thorough search was made
along the river bank but at dark moth
ing had been seen of the body.
The police and every one else are at
a loss for the body being in the river.
One was sighted going past the Doug
las avenue bridge late Friday evening.
The only theory so far advanced by the
police is that the bodies were those Of
persons who attempted to cross the river
and were drowned in the treacherous cur
rent. The Arkansas river is really dan
gerous at this time as the long continued
high water has swept away the old fords
and the current has washed out many
deep holes. No reports OF persons drown
ing above here have been received. The
bodies were of full grown people and
the appearance led those who saw them
TO believe that each had been in the
water several days.
A search was made last night for the
body sighted yesterday and watch kept
on the Douglas avenue bridge to catch
the body should it pass down the river
II it is not sighted further search will
be made today.
