Body of Missing Man Found at Bellevue

Coroner J. W. Jordan and Sheriff Leo Heinecke were called to Bellevue Wednesday by the message that the body of a man was seen floating in the Mississippi River. The body was later identified as that of Lawrence R. Nicholson of Illinoo, Missouri, who was drowned last November 5, when he fell from the deck of the steamship “Good” near Dubuque.
