CRAIO. Neb., June . -(Special.) With
every circumstance Indicating murder and
robbery, the body of Jacob 1- Headley, a
wealthy fanner, was found In Bell creek,
a mile and a half northwest of here, at 7
o'clock this morning. It was almost en
tirely covered by the water and waa badly
decomposed. Headley disappeared three
weeka ago last Wednesday and nothing
had been heard or seen of him until hia
body via Identified thla afternoon.
The discovery of the body was made by
Robert Adams, who went to the field to
repair some fence. Adams Immediately
notified1 the coroner, who began an Inquest
this afternoon. The body waa so badly
decomposed it was Impossible to Identify
it by the festurea. From the clothing It
was Identified aa Headley.
A gunshot wound In the head plainly in
dicated the manner of death, and surround
ing circumstances proved beyond doubt that
the wound was not self-inflicted.
At the inquest it was shown he shculd
have had between ISO and $100 on his per
son, but no money was found, his pockets
evidently having been rifled before the body
waa thrown Into the creek.
On the day of his disappearance Mrs.
Headley was away from home. Headley
remarked to his two sons at the breakfast
table that he was going to Tekamah. He
left the house, and as far as can be learned
has not been seen alive since except by
his murderer. The creek In which the body
wss found Is about three-quarters of a mile
from his house.
Headley was 54 years old and left besides
his wife four sons and one daughter. He Is
estimated to be worth $100,000.
The authorities are looking up clues, which
they believe will lead to the Identity of the
murderer.
