NAN FOUND IN GRAND RIVER

Grand Junction, July 13.-The body
of a man was seen floating down the
Grand river just south of the round
house at sos last night by man who
had been resting on the river bank for
several hours. He saw the body floa;
past not very far from the bank and
Immediately went to Rio Grande of
flee where the employees in the office
called up the sheriff's Office. Nobody
was home, so they notified the police
department. The city officers at once
wired Fruita to watch for the body
and a close lookout will be kept for the
temperance of the body.
There was some talk that the body
might be that of a man who was seen
to jump in the river at Glenwood
Springs recently. So far as is known
no other bodies are being sought in the
river at present.
The body was seen later by another
man further down the river.
