A body found at Anglesea, identified as Alexander Starke of 2349 North Twenty sixth street, is likely Samuel Moore of Myrtlewood street. Moore, who often fished Nora trips, had not returned home. Starke said he lent his boat to Moore, who could not go himself. Moore, unmarried, lived with his sister. Williams family distraught. Mr Williams, about 60, a harness maker from Point Breeze, is believed dead though no word arrived. A friend warned of bad luck after dreaming of a funeral before Williams left for Anglesea.
