Body of an Unknown Man
Found Dead on River Is
land Near Clinton
Ne DIED A NATURAL DEATH
No Signs of Struggle Were Observed
and the Indications Were That the
Man Had Died of Heart Disease
Coroner Will Try to Establish
identity.
epecial to Times-Republican.

Clinton, Oct 20.-The body of man
was found on one of the Thousand Is
lands" which stretch picturesquely
northeast from the Joyce Park bluff.
DR.. Hullinger, the county coroner, was
notified of the discovery of
the corpse upon the island. Chief of Po-
lice Rundgren, Constable Cahill and
other officers went up to the spot
in a row boat and examined the body
and the locality for signs which might
indicate that the man had come to
his death by violence. No such signs
were found and the probabilities are
that the man came to his death from
natural causes.
The body was found by Dr. e. J..
Price. who lives in houseboat near
the old tie-yard. Mr.. Prince was hunt
ing in the vicinity when he came
across the remains of the man. He
hurried to town and notified the Off
GERS. and the investigation followed.
The body Is that OF a man Of 35 or
40 years Of age. The height Is about
s feet, s inches, and the weight per-
haps $50 pounds. The man had dark
chestnut hair. mustache, and two
weeks growth of reddish beard. His
nose and other features were large
and prominent and he was attired in
overalls and working clothes.
She body was lying in a clump of
brush, not far from the bank of the
slough, on an island some two miles
north of the tie-yard. and half a mile
or more from the Iowa shore.
None of the officers who viewed the
remains were able to identify them as
those Of anyone they had ever seen
and 1t is believed that the man was a
stranger in this locality. They ex-
pressed the opinion that the man had
been dead three or four days The
remains were not in an advanced
stage of decomposition, and the feat
ures are recognizable. The remains
were taken to Lyons yesterday after
noon. a number Of officers leaving at
noon. on q handcar, on which the re-
mains were brought down from the is
land. Coroner Hullinger will impanel
q Jury and hold an inquest to ascer-
tain II possible the identity Of the
stranger and the manner in which he
came to his death ON the lonely river
island.

EsthervilIe.
Petty thieving continues in this
city and surrounding country to an
alarming extent. This has been going
on now for over year, and the peo-
pie are becoming thoroughly aroused,
and evidently are about ready to form
a vigilance committee and make an eff
fort to run the thieves to earth. It is
estimated that during the past year
there has been more than $4,000 worth
of chickens stolen, to say nothing Of
clothing, vegetables. grain, etc. The
thieves evidently operate with a wag-
on, driving up to the chosen place late
at night and loading the plumber into
the wagon and driving away. They
have shown great boldness at times, as
was recently demonstrated, when they
entered the kitchen of the Hotel Or
leans a short time after the close of
a banquet and hauled away nearly
500 worth Of flour and other pro-
visions. Cellars. chicken houses, barns
and even fields are entered and every
few nights a robbery of some kind is
recorded.
Buffalo Center.
This community was infested this
week with a CRATER representing a
medical and surgical institution in
Chicago, who succeeded in getting sew
eral Of the farmers to give their notes
for amounts varying from $50 to $3.50
in return for a receipts and so-called
contract, guaranteeing to cure the
patient mentioned Of some illness or
return the note. But qualification of
the contract stipulated that the patient
Is to take all medicines sent by the
istitute and If deemed necessary, go to
Chicago and submit to surgical oper-
alton. OF course If that was not done
the note was to be paid. OF course
these grafters, for they are nothing
else, do not expect to cure the case
taken for treatment. Those who have
had experience with them, learn. to
their sorrow, that they are out their
money, always a large amount, and in
return have several bottles of social
ed medicine and large quantity Of
experience, which they will sell cheap.
These farmers who patronized this
fakir can get some good advice from
several of their neighbors, who bought
stock food year ago.
