Caldwell CIean-Up
Days, May 2S ~

Monday and Tuesday, May 2e
and % have been designated as
cleanup days for Caldwell, ac-
cording to an announcement
made today by Mayor Donald D.
Nichols.
These two days were set aside
for this purpose in order that
the community might appear
spotless when the observance of
Memorial Day is held here.
Mayor Nichols said that all
property owners are urged to
cooperate in this two day cam
paign. They are asked to put all
their rubbish and trash in con-
tainers and place them in a con-
venient spot in the alleys for the
truck to pick it up.
The city truck will start out
Monday morning and pickup
service for the trash and rub
bish will be held during the two
days. This will not include gar
bage.
The village council has COM
pleted arrangements with Law
renee King and the latter has
bulldozed a long ditch on the
old mine site which will be used
for the dumping of garbage.
When the ditch has been filled,
King will again bring his bull
dozer into action and cover il
up. The council feels this will
serve a two-fold purpose-pro-
viding a garbage dump and al
the same time making a much
needed fill in that area.
Property owners are reminded
! that next Monday and Tuesday
have been set aside as cleanup
days for this community and the
cooperation of each and every
one is desired.

Farlner's S Body
Found In River

The body of a man removed
from the Muskingum River near
Marietta at 1890 p. m. Tuesday,
has been identified as that of
Francis Schafer, so, well known
farmer of the Harriettsville COM
munity.
The body had lodged against
some barges at the U. S. Gov
ernment works at the mouth of
the river.
Marietta police said it was the
body of the man who was re-
ported to have jumped from the
Muskingum River bridge on
Tuesday, May Is.
A set of keys found on the
body led to the identification
of the missing farmer.
Sheriff Donald Conaway, ac-
companied by Blaine Ullman and
Lloyd Ullman, went to the Schaf-
er farm just outside Harrietts-
vile and the keys fit the house
door as well as the doors to two
smaller outbuildings.
A sister, Mrs. Alfred Deltinger
of 1654O Ilene avenue, Detroit,
Mich, was notified by Sheriff
Conaway Tuesday night and she
is making arrangements today
for funeral services.
Because of the badly decom-
posed condition of the body,
Marietta police were unable to
compare the clothing with the
description furnished police a
week ago when the man jumped
from the bridge.
The body was discovered
shortly after 1870 a. m. Tuesday
by John Eddy of Marietta, and
Hayward Hughes of Lowell, en-
ployes at the government plant.
A barge had been moved during
the morning and the body may
have been concealed in a pile
of drift wood.
The body was removed to the
Hadley funeral home in Marietta
and it was believed that funeral
services would either be held
Wednesday or not later than
Thursday.
