He was probably murdered and his body then thrown into the river, the coroner thinks The mans identity is a complete mystery to the authorities, as they have no record of the disappearance of any white man in this locality in the past few months. Coroner Naughter believes the bolv had been in the water a month or more
 The body was discovered by Aonzo Proctor. nergo fisherman The body had been washed uD on the bank on the Templeton plantation Coroner Vaughter was notified Sunday morn ing and al o'clock on the afternoon he reached the scene and conducted the inquest at the place where the body was found

through foot with buckshot.
 Antonio LaZzaro. Italian strike.break- CT. shot through shoulder.
 Carlos Niccolina. Italian strike breaker. shot through right leg and arm.
 This is the casualty list. after pre- arranged attack upon the bunk cars, containing 30 Italian strike.breakers. who were sent to Van Buren a week ago by the Iron Mountain to take the places of the companys striking car repairers, at 10:30 Monday night.
 So far as is known none of the at tacking party was injured, as it was very evident the Italians were not armed or. if they were. they were too badly frightened to shoot. and used all of their energies in getting out Of the cars and out of range.
 No arrests have been made and as Henderson, the white guard. left for St. Louis on the midnight train 10 enter the company's hospital for treatment. only a vague idea as to the number of the attacking party can be formed,
  the crowd being estimated from 5O to 100
 The entire eastern portion of the city was awakened at 10.30 by per feet volley of shots. At the first vol ley those familiar with the bitterness of the strikers toward the foreigners concluded that the tfike-breakers were being attacked. Owing to the fact that the streets in that part of the city are not lighted, there were only a few of the citizens who went in that direction to investigate the trouble Not a sound could be heard above the reports of the guns. Ap- parently only enough time for the al tacking party to reload the guns elapsed between the first and second volleys. After the second volley there was some desultory firing, for after tie first volley the Italians leaped from the cars in which they were housed and fled through the yards, taking refuge behind and in hundreds of cars on the tracks in the east yards, or hiding in the cottonfied and Johnson grass pasture that practically adjoins the shops on the east.
 Henderson. the white guard. made his way west along the main line un- til he reached the division offices. where he reported the attack. asked that he have his wounds dressed and that he be gven q ticket 10 St Louis He expressed the opinion that several of the Italians had been killed, but search of the yards and cars resulted men who were given medical atten- ton.
 Less than dozen of the strike breakers appeared at the shops Tues day morning when the o'clock whis- tie blew These men had evidently spent the rest of the night after the attack in the tall Johnson grass and ventured out only when they knew they were assured protection.
 It was felt there Monday when the two white guards, George Hermon and Tom Mullary, were arrested on what is believed to have been a trumped- up charge and held without bail. that an attack was to be made upon the Italians. and no surprise was felt when 1t was known that they were fired up- on The negroes, had been wrought up during the day by the al- legged assault upon Donnie Johnson, a negress, and they were as bitter to- ward the imported laborers and their guards as were the white strikers. and 1t is believed that large portion of the mob was made up of blacks.

 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna Is given the preference by the We'll Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
