The fate OF NJ iss Marie Dunn, aged %,
who disappeared from OIL City on the
night Of Sunday, February 8, this year,
has been determined. The mystery has
been solved by finding her body in the
Allegheny river, at Seyberttown, about
one and half miles north of East Brady,
at2 o'clock Sunday afternoon b, Cameron
Benninger, whose home is on the bank of
the river near the point where the body
was recovered. The body WIS floating on
the water and he rowed out and towed It
to shore and notified the coroner al East
Brady. The Identification was made
complete by the clothing the girl wore
on the night of her disappearance, and the
theory that she fell OFT the P. r. X bridge
while crossing the river TO visit some
relatives is thus borne out. The river
was frozen over but large air hole tx.
isted Immediately under the bridge into
which hor body is supposed to have fallen.
There we're marks upon her head, the
skull being broker but this is believed
to have been done by the fall or in the
river after death.
