tairiment at Wythe. The DRUGS
which was washed out is about thirty
feet long. and is across the creek
at the foot Of the hill on the way 10
Quincy. It was presumably cloua

The Kopsicker car with its TWO
passengers plunged off the approach

Drowning Of March
i,

The body which was found yester-
day afternoon at Fenway, Mo, was
identified as that of James II. Ayres'
by his brother, Harry Ayres, II. A.
Brunat and NV. Cunningham. lden-
Itification was made through scar on
his forehead, and from his teeth
An affidavit was made by the den
fist who examined the teeth, and COM
pared the filings and shape OF the
molars to his chart, that the body was
that of James Ayres. The scar on
his forehead completed the ldentlhca-
ton.
The body was brought back to Keo-
kuk Yesterday afternoon and funeral
services will be held tomorrow.
The body was found in practically
the same place as Charles Off's body,
and the tragedy of March Is has had
it's final chapter written. 1t was on
the afternoon of that day that Dotn
boys were out in canoe and drowned
when their boat tipped over opposite
Keokuk.
The recovery of this body spurred
the friends of both boys on to further
action in regard to the Ayres body and
a searching party was organized from
members of the Masonic lodges. This
party worked its way down the river
in two launches and combed the Is
lands but found no traces whatever
of the body.
It is evident that the last few warm
DAYS. and possibly the sharp thunder
storm Yesterday morning, caused the
body to rise.
The funeral procession will leave
