murdered and robbed and his lifeless
body was thrown into the Mississippi
river at Muscatine, according to the
belief of his brother, Samuel, who
has gone TO Muscatine to push the
inquiry into the mysterious death.
Nevins' body was found floating in
the river, and the tingermarks around
his throat indicated that he had been
choked to death. He had drawn about
$3.50 from the bank shortly before he
disappeared Samuel believes. and it
is thought that sight of FLASHED

and strangle him. The father of
Nevins was burned alive in the fire

many then that the old man was MUIR
