Mrs. Gotthilf Lutz, wife of the Ann Arbor agent of the Schlitz Brewing company, who suddenly left the city about a week ago, received a letter from an undertaker at Toledo Monday stating that the body of her husband had been recovered from the Maumee river at Toledo. Enoch Dieterle, the undertaker of 210 S. Fourth avenue, was notified by Mrs. Lutz of the message she had received. As a result, Mr. Dieterle has telegraphed to the Toledo undertaker instructing him to forward the body here.

It will be remembered that when Lutz left the city a letter was received by his wife from him, enclosing $5 and telling her he would never return here. This letter was postmarked Chicago. Another letter addressed by Lutz to a friend here and postmarked Milwaukee, stated that the writer would probably be able to get work in the Wisconsin city and that he would make everything all right.

His accounts with the Schlitz firm are said to have been only $100 short, although they have not yet been fully examined by the company's representative.
