MANS BODY FOUND
IN HoUsATONIC RIVER
Thought to be That of Rob- ert Bushnell of New
 Milford.

New Milford, July 4.-Wedged tightly in the fork of a tree in the water about fifteen feet off shore was found this aft ernoon the body of man by Reuben Warner of this city and party of Bridgewater friends who were fishing in the Housatonic river at point six miles below New Milford. Parts of the body were gone and what remained was held together simply by the clothes. It appeared to have been in the water many months, was clothed in good gar- ments, heavy underwear, good button shoes and in the pockets of the clothing were found small nail pick, comb and button hook.
 Identification has not been made but it is thought by many here that the bedy may be that of Robert Bushnell, who disappeared from his home here on October 15 last, and whose hat was found on the banks of the Housatonic about that time. So far as could be determined 1t Is said the body answers the description of Bushnell. At the time of Bushnell's disappearance his brothers, Alfred and Isadore, dragged the river for three days, but no trace of him was found
 The medical examiner of this place has been notified and will endeavor to discover, the identity of the body.
