IDENTIFIED BY BOTH.

One of the Victims of the Battle Creek Wreck Claimed by Two Men. Battle Creek, Mich., Oct 26.—Dr. Sweetland, of Edwardsburg, Mich., editor of the Argus, has identified the body of one of the victims as that of his sister, Mrs. Eveline Aldrich, of Edwardsburg, and the body was shipped to that place Monday night The coroner on Tuesday received a dispatch from J. D. Wood, of Cato, N. Y., stating that the body is that of his wife. She was identified by both men by her clothing. Mr. Wood asserts that he has positive proof that the body is that of his wife, and Dr. Sweetland is just as positive that they are his sister's remains. Coroner Gillette has telegraphed the circumstances to Dr. Sweetland, and Deputy Sheriff King has been sent to bring back the remains. It is feared that legal proceedings will have to be instituted before the body can be recovered. The bodies of George Dawson, of Essex county, England, and Marcus Reise, Kansas City, were claimed Tuesday. Of the unclaimed two are known to be C. Statibe and Charles Wende, but their addresses are not known. Mrs. Robert Findley and R. D. Colgrove are known to be among the dead, but are unrecognizable.
