STILL UNSOLvED
Efforts to Establish the Identity
of Dead Man Prove
Futile.
C0R0NER'S INQUEST is
CONTINUED ONE WEEK
Two Promising Clues Fail to
Stand Test of Close In
yestigatiOn.

Careful investigation OF every possible
clue thus far revealed has failed TO throw
any light upon the identity of the dead
man whose body was recovered from the
Jordan river Tuesday afternoon. After
listening to all the evidence at present
available, Acting Coroner D I Smith has
ordered continuance OF the hearing un-

o'clock.

Investigation has conclusIvely proved
that ths drowned man is not Sheridan II,

report as to the victims Identity was

Without foundation.
Mrs Smith on last Monday morning
received a letter from her husband. who

description OF Smith and the dead man
tally, the fact that the dead man has
been in the water at least ten days or
two weeks cffectually dlsposes of any
hope of solution OF tho mystery In this
direction, Mrs, Smith further states that
her husband WAS not a Mormon and did
not wear the endowment robes which
we're on the dead body at the time Of Its
discovery,
Another Clue Furnished.
AT Thursday afternoons session of the
Inquest l.. II. Dickinson, proprietor Of

identification could be made The last
they saw CT Scott was about month
ago. There were however. no positive
marks by which the identification could

statement OF Mrs. n J Honn. 2sS East

two pistol shots and the voices OF two
men. the sounds seeming to proceed from

shots were fired she saw a light wagon,
