FOUND IN CEDAR LAKE.

Body of Wealthy Farmer, Who Disappeared Eleven Days Ago. Hammond, Ind., Nov. 21.—The mystery concerning the disappearance of Charles Buboltz, a wealthy Cedar Lake farmer, was partly cleared up today by the discovery of his body in Cedar Lake by Tony Hetzler, who was dragging the lake. Buboltz disappeared from home eleven days ago after making a deposit of several hundred dollars ih a Crown Point bank. How Bttboltz met death puzzles the police. There are theories of both murder and suicide. Around the leg of the corpse a wire had been fastened. On one end of the wire was a loop, as fi it had held a weight, and the authorities, who, the day after Buboltz. left home, found an empty boat containing Buboltz’s cap drifting near the Armour ice houses, do not kndw whether he rowed out in the lake, weighted his body and jumped overboard or not. The inquest will be held at the Crown Point niergue today.
