Search for Clues.

That the man could have wandered
there rs hardly thought credible. That
the body was found on the beach rather
than back in the brush covered flat,
and nearer 10 he water than the
brush, is possible evidence that the
water actually carried it 10 the place
where 1T was found. Though hat was
found Il quarter Of a mile farther along
the beach, no head covering was
found on or near the body. The hat
was Summer straw and was not re-
covered by the officers who were car
rying the body with difficulty. as their
feet sank 10 the ankles in the brine
soaked sand. Tho spot at which the
dead man was picked up is about half
asmilc from the point whore the Jor-
dan river flows into the lake,
Did the man drown in the lake and
was his body carried to its mysterious
resting place by the buoyaut waters:
or was the body thrown into the
waters of either Great Salt Lake or
the Jordan river after he had been
murdered! Was his the death Of a
lost man wandering on the beach of 2
salt sea, one drink Of the water Of
which would drive him to possible mad
moss; or did he die at tho hands OF
some enemy who coveted, perhaps, Sc
