BODY FOUND ON SANDBAR

Blair, Neb., June 12—The body of a man was found yesterday morning by Paul Shultz on the sandbar five miles above the railroad bridge. Sheriff Mencke and Coroner E.C. Pierce went and viewed the body, which was so badly decomposed as to be unrecognizable. There was nothing by which it could be identified and the officers buried it in the cornfield near by.
