While Roscoe Britton and Elmer Nell
son were bathing in the Connecticut
river between Mrs. C. c. Dix's and the

about 10 o'clock, they discovered bad
ly decomposed body floating among the
logs near the bank.
1t was viewed by the selectmen and
Medical Examiner Faulkner of Keene
was called. Masonic membership GER
terflcate from the Masonic lodge No. IS
of Windsor, VT, identified the body be-
yond question as that of Benjamin B.
Flint of Windsor, who had been missing
since last October. Two railroad tickets
were also found, one dated in July
from Brattleboro to Windsor, punched
three times, the other in October from
Windsor to Brattleboro, which had been
punched once. There was also a blank
bank order on the Windsor savings bank
DR.. Faulkner discovered a bruise upon

cate foul play
A brother living in Claremont being

latter, accompanied by a sister, arrived
Monday evening and took the body that
night to Windsor
Mrs. Flint said that on October 25 her
husband left Windsor for Brattleboro,
where he expected employment. He took
with him a suitcase and a box of tools.
| These reached Brattleboro, having been
| checked through. The last seen of Mr..
| Flint was in North Walpole the same
| day when he came out of a saloon. This
| fact, coupled with that of his ticket
being punched only as far as Bellows
| Falls, would Indicate that he left the
train at Bellows Falls, crossed the river
to North Walpole, visited the saloon
and while returning to Bellows Falls
| fell into the river.
Mr.. Flint was IS years of age and 1:
spoken of as a kind hearted man.
