Js/Af&tHy dressed body of v a man was found by Mr Gill, of Gonville, this morning about half-past eight in the river opposite Gonville. v The body is that of a European, and had evidently been in the water for at least a month. The police so far have been unable to obtain any clue as to identity. ' Deceased is a man of- about -sixty years of age and about 5 feet 7 inches in height. He had a full grey beard and moustache, but W£s bald on top of the head. The clothes' comprised a black worsted coat, grey striped trousers, grey cotton shirt, white -flannel un«derehrrt, white flannel underpants, heavy watertight boots, but the feet were wrapped in calico in place of cox.
The police 'so far. are working .all in-^he dark, as they hajre no idea iwheilkeiMi&e man was drowned -near— Wanganui or whether the body "floated down from the upper reaches, a.' '
There's no speculation or risk about MILD DERBY TOBACCO— it's all that a good smoke ought to be. It is neither too strong, nor yet too mild— but iust the happy medium. Try a tin, or a plug.
