Frank Little, a young Dillon lad, while fishing in Blacktail creek during the low water period last week, discovered the decomposed body of a man lying under a clump of brush and running home, told his parents of the gruesome find. An immediate investigation was made and the body removed to the Brundage undertaking parlors where inquests held on Saturday and Monday proved that the body was that of John Adams, a pioneer' resident of the city who disappeared over three years ago. Identification was made possible by a broken arm that was set by a local physician a number of years ago and the condition of the teeth on which dental work had been done by a Dillon dentist. The body was buried in the Mountain View cemetery Monday afternoon. A verdict of accidental drowning was given by the coroner's jury at the inquest. - The Dillon Tribune, July 07, 1922, Page 1
