ARE CLOSING IN HIS BODY FOUN
William McCarty, Miss.
ing Three Months,
Found in River.

A body was found floating in the Che.
halls river, near the Dryden & Leitch
mill Saturday afternoon by the crew oil
the steamer Fleetw God, and was lowed
to the dock Of Harrison Bros. at the foot
OF G street.
The body was badly deconpnel and
showed evidences Of having been in the
water long time. At first it did not
appear probable that the corpse would
be identified, but later, the clothing and
fragments Of letters in the pockets, re-.
vealed beyond doubt that the body
was that of William McCarty, an en-
ploye OF the Capital saloon, who has
been missing since November 10.
The body was taken to the undertak.
ing parlors Ct BearLsley Bros, and cor.
oner Snits notified. There was a hole
in the side OF the head which led to sus-
piciou Of probable foul play, but the
length OF time the body had been in the
water, floating to and fro, an its general
condition led Coroner Smits to decide
that the expense OF an inquest was
scarcely justified.
The unfortunate man was last seen on
+ street at an early hour on the morning
OF November 10, and the general suppo-
sition since among those who knew him
was that he had walked into The river in
the dark. The deceased was about A
years OF age, and leaves wife and one
child. Upon the indentification OF the
body Saturday, his wife was notified at
Sedro- Woolley, and the bereaved lady
arrived in Aberdeen last night. The
funeral took place this afternoon, under
the auspices of the Foresters OF America,
of which order the deceased vas a
member.
