The answer to this can be found in Chapter 11. In that chapter, Huck dresses up like a girl and goes into town. He ends up in the home of Mrs. Loftus and gets news from her.
What he finds out is that people really do believe that he (Huck) is dead. They at first thought that his dad killed him, but then they started to believe that Jim had done it because he ran away the same night Huck was "killed."
There is now a reward of $300 for Jim and $200 for Huck's dad.
