Supervisors Offer Reward of $1O0 for Discovery of Body of Carl Petersen Supposed Victim of Will liam Faltin.

There were, no developments of i'm portance yesterday in the supposed murder of Carl Petersen by William Faltin last Sunday night. At the re- quest of the sheriff's office through The Republican yesterday morning several hundred persons engaged in a search of the river bed for the body of Petersen but though it was continued until late in the afternoon it was without result It was carried up and down the river as far as Fal- tin could have gone after he left the house with a wagon on Monday morn ing until he returned and was heard driving toward town. It was the opinion of most of the searchers that the body was concealed somewhere else
 The board of supervisors yesterday offered a reward of $100 for the dis covery of the body or for any infor- nation leading to its discovery.
 Faltin made the statement yester- day that the body was not in the river and when pressed for information as to the location of it he said that he did not know. That answer has led IO IIc SuSDlClOn lildl dIlOllleI ilidll might have participated in the crime and that Faltin, taking the body from the house, delivered it to another wagon which took it out of the country.
 Another bit of evidence was added to that accumulated the day before by Constable Murphy, Justice John stone and others That was that wherever Petersen went from Faiths house, either to a hidden grave as the officers suppose or on prospecting trip as Faltin asserts, he went without his clothes He was known to have only two hats, two pairs of shoes, two coats, two pairs of trousers and one vest All these clothes have been found in Faiths house.
