DROWNED BODY
FOUND IN RIVER
Remains of Man Found Near Han.
nihal But There is Nothing About
1t to Lead to Identity.

Hannibal Post: Fishermen setting
their lines discovered the body of a
well-dressed man grounded on sand
bar four miles south of Shepherd, at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon The
body had evidently been in the water
but week or ten DAYS as it was not
badly decomposed and the appearance
in life was readily discernable No pa
pers or effects of any kind were found
upon the body that could lead to an
Identification and the coroner's jury
which was summoned at / o'clock this
morning We're at loss to suggest who
the drowned man might be, but return
ed verdict of accidental drowning.
The grewsome discovery was made
by G. w. Osborne OF Ilasco, who was
setting his lines with several COM
panions to the Illinois shore The
body was found about o'clock in shall
low water near a sand bar and the
coroner of Pike county, H., was no

quest in Levy township. which was
convened at o'clock this morning
and examined the witnesses of the
finding, and the personal effects Of the
dead man. There were no marks OF

toned up tightly. The only explana-
ton that was forthcoming as to how
he might have met his death was that
he was returning home during the re-
cent high waters and. while crossing
some swollen stream, fell in. 1t was
suggested that the closely buttoned
coat and vest in such warm weather
might be accounted for on. the ground
that he was seeking to protect him
self from rain.
The man appeared to be between 55
and 60 years of age. would weigh
about $50 pounds and was feet Z

hair and beard being dark, but tinged

Andrew ketchum Was Brought Here
on the Afternoon Train From q
the West to Receive
Medical Aid
THROWN FROM HAY FORK
Team Of Horses Ran Away and
ketchum Was Thrown to the
Ground, Aliohtins on
His Neck.

Andrew Ketchum, farmer residing
near Lancaster Mo-, met with a very
serious accident yesterday morning,
three miles north of that place, which
may leave him in paralyzed condi-
ton his entire life. though the attend
ing physicians have hopes that he will
fully recover from the accident.
ketchum had been haying and was
working in his fields near ais home,
being seated on the hay fork to
which was attached team of horses.
A heavily loaded hay rack which was
near, was upset in some unknown man.
ner and this it is thought, frightened
the team which ran away and Ketcaum
who was on the seat at the time, was
thrown out and the back of his neck
struck against a stone, probably, it
is thought, in such way as to cause
serious injury to the vertebrae of the
spinal column.
The injured man was picked up and
given medical attention at Lancaster
until it was thought best today on ac-
count Of his paralyzed condition to
bring him to this city for medical
treatment. He is unable today to
move hand or foot, his arms and limbs
being in paralyzed condition. He
was able, however, to talk quite freely
to those who we're with him and his
speech has not yet shown signs of be
ing effected from the nature of the ac-
ciden,.
He was brought to this city on the
afternoon train from the west and was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital where
he is getting along as well as can
be expected, considering the nature
of the accident.
Quite large number of friends
and relatives accompanied the in
jured man to this city and everything
that can be done to restore him to his
normal self will be done. He is well
known in his community and the ac.
cident with which he met yesterday
morning was quite bad one.
