MAN FOR WHOM TOMBSTONE
WAS ERECTED 3 YEARS AGO,
TURNS UP ALIVE AND WELL
Mystery Now Is Over Identity of Man Lying the Steeon
Cemetery Under Jacob Sweitzer's Name

good tombstone to his memory. Last
evening Mr.. Quick was very much
surprised to receive letter from the
supposedly dead man. Instead of be-
ing dead he is very much alive and
well in Canada, and requests that he
be sent his discharge papers from
the United States Army in which he
served for a number of years. The
identity of the man buried in his
place is a mystery and will probably
never be discovered.
