NOT THE BODY
Of JOS. KELLY

Joseph NJ. Kelly, the young junk
dealer of this city, who was reported
drowned last week, is probably still
among the living. The grave was dug,
the pallbearers were selected and 9TH
er arrangements for the obsequies had
been perfected, when it was discover
ed that the body found in the river
near Lancaster was not that Of Joseph
NJ. Kelly, but Of some other person
whose Identification has not been est
ablished. Meanwhile the case has de-
veloped into one of deep mystery,
which could be unraveled only by the
genius of keen detective.
On Saturday morning Peter Kelly,
father of Joseph NJ. Kelly, ,sccompani-
ed by William L. Roat, undertaken,
went to Lancaster for the purpose of
identifying and bringing home the
body. Arriving at Lancaster and meet
ing the coroner they learned that the
body was at Conestoga, place some
nine miles from Lancaster. To Con-
estoga they proceeded and hunted up
the undertaken who had charge of the
body.
Imagine their surprise when the
casket was opened and they saw be-
fore them not the familiar features of
the youthful Joseph but instead those
of man at least sixty years of age,
who was partially bald and whose hair
and mustache we're grey.
The one circumstance that is en-
shrouded in mystery and led to the
identification of the remains as those
Of Joseph M. Kelly, of our town, is the
fact that on the body was found an
Identification blank carefully filled
out, as follows:
my name is Joseph NJ. Kelly. My
address is Danville, Montour county,
Pennsylvania. In case of accident or
of serious illness please notify Mrs.
Joseph NJ. Kelly, Danville Pa"
The handwriting was neatly exeout-
ed. How the Identification card hap
pened to get into the pocket of the
drowned man no one can conjecture.
The whereabouts of Joseph M. Kelly
up to yesterday were as great mys-
terry. Add to these circumstances the
fact that the body of the drowned man
was without any means of identified
tion and we have complication of
90 ap6 p,yStariouc incidaptS 90
battling as any that are found in mod
rem detective stories.
The body was not found in the river
proper, but rather in basin like de-
preston along shore, on one side of
which the river bank formed steep
deolivity. From appearances the man
had fallen down over the river bank
and sunk headfirst into the mud and
water. The body was discovered about
half day after death had occurred.
The drowned man was poorly dress
ed, with the exception of a Stetson
hat, nearly new. There were no in.
dications of violence about the body.
Neither Mr.. Kelly nor the undertaken
had ever seen the man before.
On Saturday grave was dug in
Odd Fellows cemetery here to receive
the body. The pail bearers for the
funeral were selected.
Upon returning to Lancaster Satur.
day evening Peter Kelly at once sent
message to Danville conveying the
information that the body was not
that of Joseph NJ. Kelly. On the 10 :2t
Pennsylvania train yesterday Kelly
and the undertaken returned to Dan
vile, when all the facts as above stat.
ed were learned.

DO 1T NOW
Danville People Should Not Wait Until
It Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kid
uey disease is due in most cases to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usuallv ueglactnd until thev become
serious. The slight symptoms give
place to chronic disorders and the
sufferer goes gradually into the grasp
of diabetes, dropsy, Brights disease,
gravel or some other serious form of
kidney complaint.

fighter, won another battle, beating
Charley Griffin Of Australia in q ten
round bout at the stag OF the Brooklyn
Beach \. G. OF South Brooklyn.
Ahearn had a big advantage over
Griffin. being a few inches taller, sew
eral pounds heavier and also having a
longer reach.
After the first round II was a foregone
conclusion that Ahearn would peat Grif-
nm. as he was too clever and shlfty for
him. Besides landing three blows 10
Grifiln's one, Ahearn managed to get
away from the vicious swings which
Griffin let fly at him.
Ahearn had the better of eight rounds
or the battle and came near winning BY
a Knockout in the tenth round. In this
session Ahearn nailed GrifRn on the Jaw
with a right-hand swing. which dropped
him to his knees.
Grihln got up dazed. but by using good
ring generalshlp managed to last the
round out.
