WoMAN's BODY ExHUMED.
Husband Seeks Positive Identifica. , tion Before Taking Another Wife.

Springfield, Mass, May 16.-An
 unusual incident happened in St
 Mary's cemetery when a body of a
 woman was exhumed for the pur-
 pose of identification and for the
 purpose of extracting from the fin
 ger Of one hand a ring that would assist In the Identification and put a
 stop to some of the stories circu-
 lated among the Polish residents that the woman buried was not the one whose death had been recorded.
 The woman whose grave was opened was Mrs Nellie Guzewicz. wife of Michael Guzewicz, who dis appeared from her home in March and whose body was discovered on a small island in the Westfield river April lS in badly decomposed con- dition. It seems that after being taken to the undertaking rooms the husband and friend identified the body and then the coffin was sealed and in spite of the numerous calls of Polish people to look at the body 1t was decided to keep the coffin closed. The funeral was held and the burial took place with the usual rites, but since then a num- Der of Polish people have been sus- picious that the body buried was not that of Mrs Guzewicz. Some say Mrs Guzewicz had On slippers when she left home and that the body found had on shoes. To add to the flames of gossip a letter was recently received from a western city stating that Mrs Guzewicz was still alive. Mir Guzewicz has recently made arrangements to be married again about June 1 and in order to prove that the body buried was that of his wife he sought permission of the local authorities to have the body exhumed. This was done yes terday in the presence of witnesses and the identity of the woman fully established. The wedding ring was removed from the hand and will be shown to all skeptics by the husband in proving his right to remarry. The ring is plain gold inscribed on the inside. ''N. G., June [. '03." MT Guzewicz has ring of similar de- sign with his initials and the same date inscribed. Mir Guzewicz was left with a girl a few years old ana a baby only few months old ana is frank to say that he wants a wife to look out for his children while he is al work. He is a hard-work- ing man and of excellent reputation.

 Sportsmen propose that the town pay a bounty on hawks and say that If the state would pay one. too, it would do more good in helping save what game birds are left than spend ing % much for Hungarian par fridges.
