Body of Unknown Woman.
Mr. John G. Whitmer was on a government boat on the Missouri river, Saturday, and saw the body of a woman floating
near the north bank. The body was brought ashore and viewed by Coroner Hannibal Harris who ordered it brought to
the Mansur Undertaking establishment in Richmond. It had been in the river sometime. The only clothing on the body
was a man's shirt, a pair of silk stockings and a fine pair of shoes. She was probably about 40 years old. The
remains were interred in the cemetery at the county home on Sunday.

manner unknown to the jury: that the body was found by I.N. Soutimore: that deceased died at the place where the
body was found; that no person was present when he died; that said body had upon it no marks or wounds and that
