Body of Floater Discovered 

The body of a floater was discovered in the river about four miles above 
Bellevue on Wednesday. It was supposed to be either Jenkel, the jeweler or 
Goddard, the bridge engineer, of four drowned men, all from Dubuque, who were 
missing between that city and Bellevue. There is a reward of $100.00 offered 
for the recovery of both Jenkel and Goddard. 

Later- The body found four miles above Bellevue proved to have been Goddard 
and the $100.00 reward will be paid to the finder. 

Later- The body of James Goddard, engineer on the drawbridge, drowned three 
weeks ago, was taken from the river the other day, thirteen miles below 
Dubuque, and was conveyed to his residence in East Dubuque, Illinois, for 
interment.
