PARTS OF BODY FOUND
DIsMEMBERED REMAINS FLOATING
IN THE TENNESSEE.


Knoxville June 5.-The decomposed.
dismembered body of a woman was
taken from the Tennessee river near
this city to-day. parts of the body hav-
Ing been found III three different
places.
While Isaac Johnson. a fisherman,
was running a trot line in the Tennes-
see river three miles above Knoxville
this morning, he saw an abandoned
skin and small pine box fioating In
the river. He rowed to the box ard
when he attempted to take from the
water he found that IL contained yotSs-'
t.sing heavy. Turning At over - life
water. he found a sack nailed across
the top and saw the thigh section OF a
human body drop into the waters.
Summoning help, the party took the
box to the shore. 1t contained the right
leg of a woman's body, which had been
cut off at the knee. the left foot ana
ankle. breast bone and a part of the
back. with some decayed flesh and skin.
Not far away on the edge of an island
were later found a forearm and hand.
Coroner and police were summoned
and took testimony of the man who
found the body. The party had hardly
returned to the city when a telephone
message announced that the head of a
human being had been found floating
in the river at a point two miles and
a half below where the other sections
of the body had been found The head
was discovered in the water wedged
between some logs by some boys who
were at play.
Coroner Hackney is puzzled for a So
luton of the mystery, as he is not sat
isied that the head Belongs to the
body found, the head being much more
decomposed. The police are inclined to
think that the body has been placed in
the river by medical students. They
claim that the bones arc sawed too we'll

People in the up river section are
not satisfied with this theory. however,
and are keeping watch tonight to see
IL any one will come for the boat
which was found drifting near the

were connected with the show, made
an attempt to mob them, and in their
encounter with the deputy sheriffs. a
number were roughly handled and
some received scalp wounds. The
building is said to have cost 5000.
1t is total loss with no insurance, II

there was nothing to stop the progress
of the flames.
