• MAY BE SCHEMM’S LEGS ,
Part Os A Human Body Found
Below Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls, September 26.
Peter Anderson this afternoon
found a pair of legs floating in the
Niagara river near Queenston,
Ontario. He made search fir the
trunk in all the eddies, but it was
not found. There is every reason
to believe that the legs are a part
of the body of Peter Schemm, of
Philadelphia
There was nothing attached to
them, however to aid in identifi
cation. The foot took an B.| or 9
shoe and is quite pointed. Both
legs are badly broken, and
ed to the lower part of the abdo
men, which is attached to the kgs,
is a piece of wire, which leads to
the belief that the body was torn
in two by being caught in one of
the suspension bridge wrecks m
the river.
A man name! M. B. Marvin, of
Buffalo, has been missing since
September 4, but as he was drown
ed just above Quee.iston it is
thought the legs do not belong to
his body.
I ndertaker* Morse of Niagara
Falls, South Ontario, has taken
charge of the legs, and tonight he
is treating them with a patent fluid
which acts as a preservative and
will keep them for years He ex
pressed the opinion that the legs
belonged to a map of medium
height, and that they were broken
by being caught in rocks
If they prove to be Schemm’s
legs Anderson will claim SSOO,
which is half of the reward of
fered
Mr. E. C. Wood, who sells
crackers and candy for Harry
Schlessenger, of Atlanta, and
one of the best men on the road,
