Pantagraph Central Illinois Service.

CORNELL—William B. Street, 50, Pontiac farm laborer, was found dead in a corncrib on the A. F. Warner farm, five miles west of Cornell, about 2:30 p. m. Monday. The body was discovered by Merle Leonard who resides nearby.

The inquest was set for 7:30 p. m. Tuesday in the Haroer and Roth funeral home in Pontiac where the body was taken. Dr. H. L. Shafer, Livingston county coroner, said that he had been dead 24 to 36 hours. He also said that no marks of violence had been found on the body.

Seen At Tavern.

Street was seen in downtown Pontiac about 10:30 p. m. Saturday by his brother, Howard, and was again seen in a tavern on U. S. route 66 about midnight by his niece, Ruth Street.

It was reported that he was seen leaving the tavern sometime after midnight in the company of two unidentifed young men who had claimed they were bound for Streator. He was not seen after that until his body was discovered.

Reports were also given that he had been in a drunken condition and that he had been spending money freely before he left. Where he got the money or how much he had was not known.

When the body was discovered, the clothes, body and face were covered with mud. It was thought that he had fallen or been thrown in a nearby ditch from which he had crawled to the corncrib.
