ROSENBUSH EFFECTS FOUND UNDER CABIN
Receipts books and other articles reported to have been the property of Albert Rosenbush, cattle buyer, who was well known in the vicinity of Dixon, and who is believed to have been murdered near Sterling early in the spring of 1939, have been recovered. Sterling police, while searching a cabin along Rock River where articles taken by a gang of boys from that city from cars recently, made the discovery Tuesday.
The effects were found beneath the floor of the cabin which at the time of Rosenbush's disappearance, had been occupied by a suspect who was questioned about the stock buyer's death and later released. Rosenbush was reported to have stayed in the cabin during his operations in Sterling.
He disappeared in April 1939, and later an arm and parts of a leg were found on the gratings of one of the dams at Sterling. Many persons were questioned but no evidence was uncovered as to whom might have killed him and dismembered the body. The crime is one of Whiteside counties unsolved mysteries.
