ends. Investigation discloses the
fact that the box containing the mer-
chandise was shipped by one Nash

5 to George p. Headley, Watertown.
Berry is held pending further inves-
tigation on the part of the officials.
Packed in the box in miscellaneous
condition were mems overalls, pants,

Find FlOater
In big Muddy"

Mobridge, July 2S.--A body found
floating in the Missouri river at what
is known as the south ferry, on the
shore of Walworth county, has been
identified as that of Olaf Larson, ag-
ed 27, who lived with his father
about 10 miles from Mound City, at
a point about two or three miles
from the Missouri river.
Notwithstanding that there was a
bullet hole through the chest and his
feet were tied with ropes, the father
and other relatives appear to be sat
foul play, but had committed sui
eide. The young man was demented
when he left home for last time, and
had left a note containing few in
coherent sentences which indicated
that he might have been contemplat-
ing suicide.
Just why he should have first tied

fate of the young man. Others be-
lieve that he was murdered, and that
his body was thrown into the river
by the murderer or murderers after
tying the feet, evidently under the
belief that this would aid in causing
the body to sing so 1t would never
be recovered and the crime revealed
Following his disappearance the
relatives made every effort to find
him and succeeded in tracing his
nearly to the Missouri river, where
they were baffled and regarded it as
the part of wisdom to continue the
search in other directions.
A coroner's jury which Investigate
ed the case returned verdict to the
effect that Larson came to his death
by drowning with the bullet wound
as a contributing cause.

CASKET MYSTERY
DISCLOSED HERE
UNCLAIMED AND UNIDENTIFIED
BODY HELD BY UNDER
TAkER.

Sioux City, July 2S.-The mystery
concerning the body in casket sent
here from Red Cloud, Neb., to Mrs.
Bertha Lampman, 109 West Sew
enth street, and reported to be her
brother, deepened today when Mrs.
Lampman declared she had never
seen the man when the casket was
opened at Westcott's undertaking
parlors.
The casket was received at the
Chicago & Northwestern station
Monday night and was believed to
contain the body of Mrs. Lampman's
brother, j. N. Morrison, a wealthy
lawyer and doctor of Spokane, Wash.
An effort is being made to get in
touch with authorities at Red Cloud
to ascertain the facts concerning the
unknown dead man, whose last
earthly remains apparently are un-
claimed. No disposition will be made
of the body until instruction are re-
ceived from Red Cloud. Meanwhile
Mrs. Lampman is endeayoring to get
in communication with her brother
in Spokane.
According to the story told the po-
lice by Mrs. Lampman, several tele-
grams from Red Cloud have been re-
ceived by her stating her brother
committed suicide at that place and
that the body was en- route to Sioux
City. According to Mrs. Lampman,
she has not seen her brother for 80
years. When last heard from, he was
in Spokane practicing medicine.
Mrs. Lampman is in doubt as TO
whether the body Is that of her
brother and asserts that her finan-
cial condition will not allow her to
bury the body. in case it should be
her brother.
1t is said strychnine caused the
death.
