NO VIOLENCE IN
DEATH Of MAN
FOUND TUESDAY
Body Found Northeast Of
Casper Identified as
That Of Canadian.

A sudden illness. during which he
became delirious and wandered away
from the cabin in which he had been
taking refuge is believed to have
been the cause of the death of the
man whose body was found Tuesday
neal the Cunningham c~orrals. 3s
miles northeast of Casper on the
Sand Springs road. A note found in
the pocket OF his coat gave the mans
name as Charles Gillian and his ad-
dress as Glanford. Ontario. Canada
The remains are being held here
pending word from his relatives in
Canada.
When found. the man had been
dead from two to three weeks. He
was sprawled on his face about 100
feet from the deserted cabin where
his coat. trousers and shoes were
located. He was dressed only in his
u~nderclothes. There were no marks
OF violence on the body.
An investigation of the cas- leads
the authorities to believe that Gillian
was a laborer. probably beating his
way across the country on DOT. None
of the scattered residents in that part
of the county had seen hin previous
