Dead Body of an Iowan Found Near
Rock Springs, Wyo.
~
Salt Lake City, U. T., Dec 3.- Sunday a party of hunters four miles west of Rock Springs, Wyo., found the dead body of Henry Fisher, of Dubuque, Ia., lying among the sage brush. In his pockets were found $975 in drafts and $69.30 in cash, also a through ticket from Dubuque, Ia., to Los Angeles, Cal. From papers on his person it would appear that he has a son living in Los Angeles and another son, a banker, in Dubuque. It is surmised that the high altitude affected his mind; that he left the train and perished in the cold.
