FLOATING IN RIVER.
Per Press Association. HAMILTON, January 21. With his feet and hands tied with binder twine, the body of an unidentified man was found floating in the Waikato River this afternoon about three miles on the Hamilton side of Cambridge. A cursory glance failed to disclose any evidence of foul play. If there is any on the body it will not be disclosed until the post-mortem examination. The body is that of a middle-aged man, and it is surmised that it has been immersed for a fortnight. Both hands and feet were tied rather loosely, and as the hands were held in front, it is quite possible that the binding of the hands and feet were the handiwork of the dead man.
