COFFIN USED As
FERRY BY MORTON
MORGUEKEEPER WENT AFLOAT
WITH CHASTITY FREIGHT.
He Had to Improvise Craft in Order
to Bring In the Body Found at Long
Meadow on Saturday-Body Iden-
titled as that Of Carl Softstrom.

Carl Sofstrom was the man whose
body was found Saturday at Long
Meadow. Mrs. Albin Edward, 3lO2
Minnehaha avenue, sister Of the
dead man, has positively identified the
body. A blue handkerchief with white
dots and an A. O. U. W. lodge pin aided
in the Identification. Sofstrom had
both these things and portions Of the
rotted clothing were. also identified.
sofstrom was, demented, and on
March 10 he left his sisters home
wore a pair Of loose slippers and this
accounts for the absence Of shoes at the
place where the body was found. Ac-
quaintances saw him on a Minnehaha
car, and the next day the matter was
reported to the police. Mrs. Edwards
told the detectives at the time that if
he was dead his body would be found
somewhere in the, VICINITY of the falls:
It is thought thatithe, man wandered
from the end Of the car line thru the
woods and finally, lay down, completely
Mrs. Edwards has claimed the body and
will have it buried by an undertaken to-
morrow. AN = H. ="
Morton's Gruesome Voyage. 4
Probably as gruesome task as ever
fell to the lot of any man was per
formed by Morguekeeper Peter Morton
yesterday forenoon, when he went to
Long Meadow lake for the body which
was found there Saturday. He had
to ferry himself across a deep creek in
the coffin he had brought for the dead
man.
After a long search Saturday night
the quest had to be abandoned and
was resumed arain veSter1av When
Morton arrived in the vicinity of the
old target grounds below Fort Smell
ing, the ravine and bluffs prohibited
further travel by wagon, and shoul
dering the rough wooden coffin he
started out to finish the journey or
foot. = -:
He stumbled over the rocky road al
a fairly good pace until he arrived al

It was too deep to wade, and there
were no ferries, but Peter is not g

stacles, so he found way.

coffin af1oat. With the aid of long
stick he crossed the stream with ease
and again shouldered his burden an(
was on his way.
He found the body to be little more
than skeleton, and, placing it in tht
coffin, started on his return journey
Again the stream had to be crossed
and again the improvised boat wa!
brought into use. The corpse took W
