It is now thought that the identity of the man has been discovered, and inter- ested persons are busily working on| the case, The supposed name of the man is Jacob Keiper, an old German farm hand who was expected at the farm of Henry Kortz, a son of Mr. Jacob Kortz, of 317 South Fifth street, this city.
