On his return from Fort Madison
this afternoon Coroner Korschgan
said that the finding Of the skeleton
would, OF course, be investigated. The
effects with the bones consist OF
razor in q case, attached by a leath'
er string to hang around the neck, q
razor strop and brush all in one,
knife and old purse. All OF the effects
have a coating Of sand and rust.
It Is believed to be more than prob
able that the skeleton is Of the body
of one of the men who drowned while
crossing the river at Fort Madison.
However, it is possible that it may re-
main one Of the mysteries OF the
river.

Two Men on Sand Bar Across the
River From Mill, Find Bones
Of Human Body, Presumab-
ly That Of Man.
MYSTERY ABOUT FIND
People Over Island Recently Saw No
Traces and II is Believed the
Waves Uncovered

The skeleton Of human body, pre-
sumably that of man, was found
by two men on an island or long sand
bar in the middle of the river, across
from Taber's mill, to the south Of the
city. James Huddlestone and Frank
Inman were the men who made the
find. They reported the matter at
once to the coroner of Lee county.

sand on the island. About its neck
was hung razor, and there was
found with 1t pocketbook which
contained a nickel and four pennies.
Some cloth which is believed to have
been part Of the clothing Of the body,
has been unearthed.
Just how the skeleton came to be
on the island without being discover.
ed before this, can only be accounted
for by the fact that the rising OF the
river may have washed OF q covering
Of sand, and thus exposed the bones,
Deputy Game and Fish Warden H. F.
Reichman and c. c. Cailiff of the Mis-
sissippi River Power Company were
fishing on the island two or three
weeks ago, and were over practically
every foot OF it. They found nothing
while there.
This leads to the belief that prob
ably the body was washed down on
to the island last winter. That 1t
became buried In the sand washed up
by the waves from time to time and
thus decayed. Then when the water
rose, the waves may have come down
and washed away the sand, exposing
the bones in the sand.
Where the body came from Is an
other mystery. It perhaps may have
been that of one Of the two men
drowned near Fort Madison several

At the close OF his denunciation the
next Sunday, when he was receiving
the congratulations Of his Pensioners,

you read your sign"
II saw everything there was on It,"
the minister replied, with some as

But not what was above It," his
