# The body of George w Ezeu, B @years old, member of the stave man #sufacturing concern of J. E. EzeITs Sons, who have large interests at #Tarry, Lincoln county, and also in this city and section. was taken from the Arkansas river at the foot of Tennes- see street early Saturday morning. The body was so badly decomposed that at first identification was thouohr impossible, but papers and jewelry found on the body later made the iden- tiflcation perfect and relatives say that the body is that of George Ezell, beyond a doubt. Ezel is believed to { have shielded, as there were no marks ]. of violence on the body and his dis appearance Friday morning at an ear ly hour from his home, No 100 Texas street, strengthens the suicide theorv. The clothes of the deceased were also Identified and the body answered ev- cry description of George Ezell.
 A rather singular happening was the finding of the body by Eugene Els berry. brotherin-law of Ezell. Ezell left his home on State street shortly after midnight Friday morning. He said he was going to Union Station to meet his father, Captain J. B. EzeIl. who is now on his way from visit to Denver, Col. He did not return home and his family became alarmed.
 They reported his disappearance to other relatives, but search failed to reveal anything that might have led to his whereabouts. Because of the tact that George Ezell had been de- spohdent tor some months because of the death of his little daughter and be- cause Of late business in at their staye plant had not been very encoura eing the relatives were the more alarmed over his sudden and mysterious dis appearance. While his brother-in-Iav MT. Ells0erry. was walking along the rlver bank near one of the Ezell plants in this city yesterdav morning ne discovered body floating near 0he waters edge. He reported the matter to the police and they. with Representative S. A. Mille~. Ezau's orother-ln-laW. City Attorney Sorrells and others went to the scene. The body was taken from the water and removed to Holderness' undertaking parlors, where it was identified.
 small abrasion was found on the pack of Ezell's neck, but Coroner H. IL. Williams, who held an inquest over the body, declared that the wound was caused probably by the body striking rock on the bank in falling. It was at first thought that the wound was caused by bullet.
 Mr. Ezell leaves a wife and three children, his parents, Captain and Mrs. J. B. Ezell; three brothers, Fain, John and Frank Ezell, and one sister, Mrs. E. H. Ellsberry. He was for sev- eral years bookkeeper in the employ or WE. Mulliken in this city and was preparing to return to that work as an employe of MT. Mulliken within the

PLAN EXCLUSIVE HOME.

Detroit, Mich. Dec. 11.-Detroit
Shriners. not content with tenancy
i'm the finest exclusive Masonic temple
in the west, are looking toward a
building of their own.
At last nights annual meeting
the potentate was empowered ny
vote to appoint a committee to look
into the feasibility of erecting q
temple which should be exclusively
for the Shrine, with the possibility
of renting to any other bodies OF
Masons which desired quarters. The
intention. however would be To
keep It exclusively for the Shrine.
Club rooms, such as are provided In
most large city Masonic temples but
for which there is no room I'm the
present temple, are thought of 1t is
believed that with the club feature,
the building could be maintained
without the necessity of renting any
part for business purposes.
The present Masonic temple, which
with furniture represents an outlay OF
nearly a half million dollars, Is be-
coming too small for the rapid growth
of Masonry in the city.
