Hannibal Journal May 13, 1847
A letter from Independence to the Editors of the St. Louis Union says:  A 
small party has just returned from the plains with the body or rather the 
bones of the murdered Colburn.  He was found by some Ottowa Indians, near 
where he was supposed to have encamped on the first night after Mr. 
Liteendorfer, left him.  It is not certain from the appearance of his skull, 
whether he was shot or killed by the blow of a hatchet or some other blunt 
weapon.  No one can conjecture who was the assassin.  The mail which was in 
charge of Mr. C. has not been found.
