The body of man supposed to be
Andrew Nelson. of Carrolltown, Pa,
was found floating in the West Fork
river Tuesday by Frank Brahm who
was driving along the country road.
The man had not been dead more

as to how he came to his death.
Mr.. Brahm noticed an object re-
sembling mans body floating near
some snags about a hundred yards
below the Watson station near Fair
mont, and upon investigation made
a ghastly discovery. Coroner Amos
was Immediately notified and went
to Watson where he took charge Of
the remains. An examination of the
body failed to reveal his identity
though after 1t was removed to the
Musgrave undertaking rooms where
a bunch of keys was found with a
marker bearing the words Andrew
Nelson, Carrolltown, Cambria coun-
ty, Pa" On the opposite side of the
marker was the date, 1901. A let
