A man identified as George Jump of Sparland is found dead in the Illinois River near the old wagon bridge at Peoria. Fishermen Hayes and Parker recover the preserved body, with a letter from Lena Jump, a Rock Island mailing date in 1910, and several personal effects suggesting Jump left his family years earlier. Coroner Elliott and a Peoria jury deem death unknown, with Jump’s brother Ira agreeing to claim the body in Canton. The case ends with burial in Potter's Field after family consent.
