Qulnehaug river opposite the old baseball grounds in the rear of the Quinebaug store, Monday morning, by Clifford Mason, who happened to be passing through the fields along the l southerly bank of the river. At first the Mason boy thought the floating object was a barrel, but upon watch l ing it he learned that it was the body of a man, and ran to the Quine- i baugh store to summon help.
 Wilfred Thomas, who is employed l in the Quinebaug market, went up 1 through the fields to where the body 1 was floating down the stream and l not far from the shore, waded in and brought it to the river bank The i body was viewed by Dr. George M. 1 Burroughs, medical examiner, and | was taken in charge by Undertaken l Louis E. Kennedy.
 There were no marks of any seri- ] ous consequence on the body, which, 1 however, showed the effects of having been so long in the river.
 The finding of the body has cleared up in large degree case that has been of unusual interest ill Daniel son, since MT. Ames, who was abotu 37 years of age, climbed out the window of his home one night in February and disappeared as though the earth had swallowed him.
 Mir. Ar1es had been severeiy i'll for several weeks prior to his dis appearance on the night of which he was lying in his rooms, attended by a relative, Henry Knight. MT. Ames requested that MT. Knight bring him a glass of water. While MT. Knight was in another part of the home procuring this Mir. Ames got up lat Salf Ai1F dropping from the second floor level to the ground.
 When he went away he was wear ing only his night shirt and stock ings. and that was the manner in which the body was clad when it was taken from the river Monday morning.
 While Ehere have been rumors since his disappearance that he was alive and some of them have gained , considerable credeuce as the weeks wore on, there were many who per sisted that his body would be found i1 one. of the rivers that flow through Dlnielson.
 IL now seems very probable that he went directly west, crossing the Assawaga river on the ice or on d ] bridge on the night of his dtsap- ! pearance, and to the swift flowing i Quinebaug. in which his life came to 1 an end. This river was open in many places on the night he made ! his escape.
 He might have gotten into the stream as far north as what IS
 known as the Sand Bank. well known swimming pool, or at many ! points below that on the stream i where the body was found.
