RIVER GIVES Up
lIIlDbERe BODY;
CASE UNsOLvED



The body Of John Lindberg. No
line contractor, who disappeared
Wednesday night, was taken from
the lfississappi river at the foot Of
Fourth street, Moline. this morn
ing.
". H. Miller, AS Forty-ffth
street, Rock Island, an employe Of
the Moline Water Power company
discovered the body at s:45 O'Clock
It was floating in the water and
bobbing against the power dam. He
called to r. G.. Purnton, another EN-.
ploye Of the power company, who
notified the police. The body waa
taken from the water and removed
to the Barnard funeral home.
A coroner's jury returned a yer.
dict that Lindbefg was drowned in
the Mississippi river Sept. 1S. Nc
motive relating to the tragedy wal
assigned.
Numerous theories have beer
advanced in seeking q motive
Members OF the Lindberg famil,
still cling to. the theory that Lind
berg had q paralytic stroke and
fell out Of the boat. He suffered
stroke about a year ago, but it LEFT
no i'll effects.
This theory Is weakened, how
ever, by the condition of the empt,
boat which was found Thursda,
night at the foot OF Sixteenth
street. The boat had been pullei
well up on shore and the oars
placed in the boat as If it had beer
left by someone careful of the con
dition Of the craft. &C. e. Ecker
Lindberg's son-in-law, found the
boat after . long search.
The suicide theory does not en-
ter into the .speculations of tn,
mans family. There was no rea
son, they say, for his taking hi.
own life. He had come through tn.
business depression safely, and hat
remarked the day before he disap
peared that he would soon be OF
his feet. He told John Peterson
from whom he rented the boat, of /,
contract that he had been awarded
that day.
Fond Of Boating.
Lindberg was seen alive the las
time on Wednesday evening. H,
left his home at 1103 Fourteenth
street shortly after 6 o'clock, say
ing that he had an appointment
with his son-in-law, Mr.. Ecker, a
| 8 o'clock. When he did not kee,
the appointment members of tn
family became alarmed. The polio
| were notified, but the news Of hi
disappearance was suppresse
Thursday in the belief that b
would soon return.
Inquiries revealed the informa
ton that Lindberg had gone 70
a boat ride. He was fond of boat
ing and often went rowing after Ii
days work. At the boat livery b
talked with John Peterson fully n
hour before he started out in tn
boat.
Peterson, So far as is known, wa
the last person to see him alive.
Mr.. Lindberg was born i
Sweden, April ~, 1876. He was
contractor for many years. He wa
a member of Moline aerie, Eagle,
and the Odd Fellows lodge.
Surviving are the widow an
three daughters, Mrs. G. e. Ecke,
Moline, and the Misses Ellen an
Esther, at home.
Funeral services will be held 8
2 o'clock Monday afternoon in th
Bernard funeral home. Rev. San
uel Hogander will conduct the ser,
ices. The Odd Fellows will be i
charge at the grave. Burial will b
