and persuaded five OF them to accompany her to the
woods In a search for flowers
Gay and pratng the little chaps roamed hlther and
thther plucklng flower here and there, and running
to their mother with the punches they gathered Wheh
the party arrived at the mill dam and stood on the edge
OF the pond mother suddenly pushed the eldest boy
into the water. The other chiden began TO cry bu
without needing their pleading Mrs. Pfautz picked
them up and one by flung them into the pond
Then taking the baby her she jumped In among
them. The tenyear-old boy was a good swimmer and
kept his presence OF mind He dove In and got out MS
brother age seven, and sister, age nine. Next ne
brought the struggling mother with the baby In her
arms and finally brought to land the body OF the little
girl age three she dead The mother sat cry
ing on the bank and asked him to after his father
He took his brother and sister with him, as he was
afraid she might harm them again.
When they got back with Mr. Pfautz the mother and
baby had disappeared The pond drawn of and three
bodies were washed through the dam. After tho
children had gone back the mother must have seized the
dead child and with her baby still cngng to her breast
jumped into the water second time.
