"DULUTH MAN DEAD IN RIVER IN THIS CITY
Missing Since Saturday, Body is Found Near 10th St. Bridge
The body of a man, identified as being Fred Green of Duluth, Minn.,
was found floating in the river near the Tenth street bridge at
4:30 this morning. The body had been in the river for several days
and it is probable that the winding of a carferry brought it to the
surface. The find was reported by Robert Weisman, one of the bridge
tenders, and the body removed from the water by Assistant Chief
Ladwig with the aid of Patrolmen Tomchek, Novak and Herman. It was
taken to the Frazier and Shimek undertaking parlors where it was
later identified by friends of Green.
A bill fold found on the person of the dead man contained a two and
a one dollar bill and a twenty-five cent piece. Several recipts made
out to Carl Johnson and to Fred Green for Carl Johnson were the only
other clues to the identity which the body furnished.
Missing Since Saturday
A report from the North Western house this morning that a man was
missing resulted in the tip that led to the identification later.
With several men from this city and a couple of companions from
Superior, Green was about the city Saturday evening and late in
the evening told companions that he was going to the elevator to
take a "flop" in an empty box car. That was the last time he was
seen. One of the men remarked the next morning when Green failed
to show up for work that he would bet the man was in the river. A
search was to have been asked for today.
Two of the boarders at the North Western House identified the dead
as the man they know as Green. The body is that of a man about five
feet three inches in height, weight about 140, fair complexion,
reddish brown hair, and was clothed in a blue soft shirt, gray
checkered coat and vest, dark gray striped pants and a new pair of
shoes. The age would be between thirty and forty.
Home at Duluth
According to the address on the receipts which the man held from the
Marshal Wells company, a wholesale hardware concern at Duluth, his
home was at 5618 Raleigh street and from his talk while here local
acquaintance gathered he was a shoemaker by trade.
Duluth has been asked to trace the matter up and if Green is missing
to send some one to identify the body. It is not believed that Green
was married.
Nick France, 1413 Clark street, employed at the City bakery, was one
of the men who identified the body of Green. He told the police John
McClellan of Polk street, Duluth and Albert Wicklund, Fiftysixth
avenue Duluth, together with John and Paul Storm of this city, had
been with Green Saturday night, Johnson, he said, is a partner of
