Found II, River

The body of foater was found in
the Mouse river a mile west Of this
city Saturday morning, near the
Ed KitteIson farm by w. H, Hatton,
Of Seattle, Wash, and Chas Henning,
of Youngstown, Ohio. The young men
were walking along the river, when
thev CHANGED to look out in the mid
die of the stream and there saa~ the
body lodged under projecting limb.
The discovery was a most gruesome
one. for the body was very badly de-
composed and must have been in the
water for a year Or more. The head,
both arms and the heel Of one foot
were missing. There was not SEM
blance Of any clothing on the body
and how it happened to get into the
river is a mystery. No one seems to
remember OF any swimmer having
been lost One theory is that the
man may have met with foul play,
ard perhaps was sunken in the river
to hide some horrible crime The
body having become badly decompos-
ed, the weights may have slipped OFF
and the body risen 10 the surface.
From the appearance Of the skele-
ton, the man must have been close to
six feet tall and he might have weigh
ed in the neighborhood Of 2o0pounds.
The body was taken from the. riv-
or by Coroner Larson and inferred.
