Murder at Charles City.

A coat covered with blood was
found on the bank of the river near
Charles City Saturday. Two men
by the names of Bradford and Colan
came there about a week ago. Co
Ian is missing and cannot be locat-
ed. Bradford has identified the
coat as that worn by Colan. The
people living around the river claim
that they heard men quarreling
few nights ago. The authorities are
making a thorough investigation.
