Charred Body Found in a Burned Shop at Moulton

Ottumwa, Iowa, Sept. 4. – A small carpenter shop in Moulton, Iowa, was burned yesterday and in the debris was found a charred body. The man’s skull near the base was broken and an inquest decided that he met death before the fire by violence, there being no evidence of smoke in his lungs. As yet no one is known to be missing. The man must have been about 60 years of age.
