Must Have Been in Possession Of an Intermediate Person.

Monticello Journal. On July 12, 1912, Clarence Berry, of near Yeoman, put a note in a bottle in the Tippecanoe river near Yeoman. Recently he received his note In a letter from Tucson, Arizona, written by Paul King, an engineer on the Southern Pacific railroad running from Tucson, Arizona, to Los Angeles, CaL In this letter Mr. King states that he found the bbttle floating in the Pacific ocean at Los Angeles on Feb. 24, 1913. Mr. King also states that he was at one time a fireman on the Monon and later an engineer, living at Lafayette. The question that puzzles is, Ijow did this bottle get from the Tippecanoe river in Indiana to the Pacific ocean off the coast of California?
