Four young men made the discovery. They -were Dave and William Tangeman. Ryb Myers and Marry Renson. They wer down at the river bank watching the steamboat coming up from Kansas City, when the body waa whirled In close to the bank, they waded Into the shallow water and secured it. O. It. Brewer waa called to take charge of th body. The moat superficial examination showed a case of suicide which could not have been committed more than half an hour earlier, or probably the time It would take for the body to float down from Omaha. This would be short with the swollen condition of the river. An In vestigation of the man's effect and a few Inquiries showed that hla name was Gott lieb Hesa. living at th TTnlon hotel, 1023 Mason. He wbr a gold watch of neat pattern, hunting caae and of German make, bearing the manufacturer's name, Herm Lehdrich. The watch waa still running. There waa So centa in hla pocket book and a number of papers and receipts. One of these waa an American Express company' receipt for a package ent by himself to a brother, John R. Hess, McPherson, Kan., and bearing the date of June 8. He had a pipe and a pearl-handled knife. The theory of the undertakers who took charge of the body I that he walked out on the Douglas street trldge, or perhar the railroad bridge, and fired the fatal bullet through hla brain and fell Into the river. The ball entered hla face Just back of the right cheek bone and ranged upward through hla brain, coming out at the left frontal bone. Among his effects was a notebook with a letter written In German script which said he waa afflicted with an Incurabe disease and begged forgiveness of heaven for hla death. A little slip of paper waa also found having about the same expression. Inquiry at the Union hotel showed that there waa no doubt of the Identity of the man. He had a fixed habit of always being In hla room at o'clock every night and the hotel people said at first that he waa there. But when requested to visit hi room it was found to be empty. Tho de scription of the dead man waa so perfect that there ia no doubt of hla Identity. The clerk at the hotel also knew of his sending the express package to hit brother Wednesday. They stated that Hess wa a retired termer having considerable means. He paid hla board with positive regularity every week. He hat) done no work since he came to Omaha a year and a half ago. It waa thought that he had considerable money deposited In one of the - Omaha banks. He haa a daughter or a sister in Illinois, but the hotel people could not give th address. The brother at McPher son, Kri., will be notified. A careful examination superficially gave no sign of any incurable disease about the. man. An inquest will in all probability be held. There waa, however, no evidence of foul play. Judging from the direction of the bullet wound and ,tbe fact that none of the man t valuables were In any way disturbed. He haa no relatlvea in Omaha so far as known. , ; Plght Over Base Ball.
