sourl struck In the Ohio river below
Alton , Ind. , Saturday evening at I o'clock
aol It Is believed at least ten lives were
lost. The boat struck a sharp rock and
ripped the starboard side open tram one end
to the othcr. In lena than ten mLnutes she
was a ccmpleto wreck. The crew anti pas-
sengers , nearly 100 In all . , were paralyzed
at the shock antI before anything could be
done the veasel was almost completely under
water. The upper deck broke away and
'oate off. Nearly everybody went Into the
I Iver and mace for shore , some hundred
yards away.
The State or Missouri left Cincinnati for
New Orleans Friday. She had on board
twenty passengers and a crew of between
seventy-live and eighty. Most of the crew
were negroes So far as can be told , no

One man rescue four passengers on a
mule , which swam ashore. The passengers
were all ticketed through to New Orleans.
The trip was uneventful until the dreaded
point of Horseshoe bend near Alton . Ind" , was
reached. Here the Pilot slowed down , as the
current was swlt , and turned his wheel
< ture
so ns to avoid an obstruction known as Bullock -
lock roclt. The rudders failed to respond to !
the wheel , and there was a grinding , crashing
sound. The boat was fIrst lifted on one
side , then she settled and began to careen.
There was no time to thlnlt. so fast did she
go down. Everybody rushed for the upper
declts. There was a flash at fro from the
furnaces and a cry that the boat was afire.
This added to the terror , and passengers
<
and crew began to jump Into the water
Thirty-five or them swam to a clump of
Willows opposite Hardman's landing and
clung to the trees until Mr. lar < man came
o t tn a boa and tcok them to his house

the boat's yawl and feat ' down to Alton ,
md Many or the crew were not lucky
enough to get to the upper decks , and they
wont down with the boat. I Is believed at

McCabe , the barkeeper and most ot those

The remains were then carried to O'Nelhi ,
whore they arrived at 3 o'clock this after-
noon. The hotly was taken to the unulertak-
lag rooms of 0. F. Ihigliui , where It was seen
by hundreds of heoplo , The corpse still lies
on a stretcher , Just us it was taken from the
river , None of the clothing had been removed -
moved , except the list , Tue overcoat , auth
even tile mittens , are still worn. Ills mit-
tenet hands ore tied tightly behind his Ijacic ,
anti a tuooso of half-inch rope , still hian ing
around his tieck , tells how tue work was
done , The rope was cut ahiout three feet
from the ilooze , and the end is haglcth , as
thought It hind been done In haste , The ap-
peianco of the body corroborates in every
respect the version of the tragedy lrevIouahy
given in Thie lice. The bullet lucia is stilt
apparent in. the right. ear , autul a crimson furrow -
row shows where It grazed the cheek , There
are indicatIons that the lynchers swore not
simply content with taking the life of their
victim , his nose hind beeuj broken , atiul
twisted to ono sIde. There is a large con-
tusion just about the right eye , and uunotlter
on the left temple. There Is the mark of
a knife In his left boot , but as the clothuinfi
has not been removed , It is impossIble to
tell whether the body bears other marks of
vIolence. The body is perfectly preserved ,
anti only the liscohoretl akIn tells of Its long
sojourn tinder the ice of' the river.
NO IOUli'P OF ITS IDENTITY.
That It is the body of Barrett Scott no one
can doubt. lie vai a man too plainly niarked
to be mistaken , anti tue last doubt as to hi's '
fate Is ltd at rest. The discovery confirms
the theory of J , B , Berry , which was e.
elusively published in 'Fho flee of January 7.
Berry Is one of the oldest settlers in the
iobrd"ra region cmi vas one of the first to
alto the trail of Scott's murderers. lIe founti

) f the body goes to establish the truth of
Ilerry's theory. It was founui just where it
tvouild naturally hinve drifted if It hail been
thrown from the bridge , The quilt tvtis found
but a few feet distant , and it is presumed
that this was wrappeti around the body when
It was cut down atiti used to conceal it on the
journey to thio river. It is believed that
Scott was hung at thio Place vhiero Schmidt
was turned loose. and very sooti after. His
watchu , which was found on tlio

after midnight , and this is supposed to be
nearly the Iliac tt'hien it was thrown Into th

FOR MURDER WILL OUT.
Ti'o river kept their guilty secret well. Its '
sh Lag quiclisands held it in an unyielding
clasp , itnd overhead the Ice froze thick and
hard , as If to lode it up forever trout oh
hiurnan.'eyes , - Thc lonely' brakes and changIng -
Ing sands that lined Its bnilcu , told no stdr'y'
of guilty footprints to rovu1 thus kecn and
ceaseless search. For twenty days It leo- '
bound waters concealed their burden , but
murder hued Its.day and justice canto at last '
to demand Its reckoning ,
TIm nets's of tbuo ghastly discovery at
Whiting's reached O'Neill early thiI morning.
By daybreak It was known all over town and
in a few hours the streetswere crowuhed with
eXClteI men. A party of thIrty caine down
from Atkinson , nearly as many froui Ewing
and scores of settlers front the adjacent
country helped to swell the crowd. The e
cltenient was increased when the body arriv ti
and it Is generally believed that there 'Is
trouble ahead for those who arc , supposed' ' to
liavo committed the crime ,
Thuo marks on Scott's body have given
some color to the story that ho was tortured
in thio hope that lie could be forced to ills-
gorge some of the halt county money. This
added materially to the IndignatIon of hii
( rieut'ls , and trouble is certainly expected ,
No open outhrealc Is antleipatd before the
funeral , however , and tItle evening the streets
are comltaratlveiy quIet.
