/ OF. the eighteen bodies known to
have been drowned in Elm creek during
the food on the Dist ult., all were recOv-
cred and buried that week, except the
twO-year-old child of Frank Shepler.
Its body was found last Monday, even
ing, Nay Ash, seven:miles south of here,
near the Brumley place, by w. w.
Standiford and men who were working
with him in fixing up fence. 1t was
800 yards from the river, in a slough,
through which water flowed during the
flood. The clothes on the body had
caught on snag and held it fast. The
suppOsition was that inasmuch as Mrs.
Shepler's body was found below Kiowa,
that she chung to her child nearly all
of that distance, and did not lose it I'M
til the roof was torn to pieces; but it
must have been that the child was torn
from her grasp much further up the
stream.
Robert Jefferson Shepler, was buried
by the side of his mother Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock; and now every
body has been laid away in its final
resting place. The surviving families
and friends of the deceased now know
where all the remains of their loved
ones may be found. and this were Let

their bodies were buried in the rough

Building Stone,

a stone quarry has been discovered
and opened southwest of this place
about IL miles, in section SO, township
80, range IA on the land of Chas. Mat
tersOn. Several wagon loads of this
valuable material have already been
brought to this city, and it is pronounc-
ell first class in every particular, and
suitable for foundations, curbing, side
walks, window caps or any purpose for
which stone is used. 1t is red sand
stone, and when dressed presents a
smooth beautiful appearance, and makes
a beautiful combination when used with
brick. This stone is in limitless guam
tity, easy of access, in convenient lay
ers, and the quarry will in time, lie a
fortune to its owners. c. S. Blake
has purchased half interest in the
quarry and will soon have plenty of
stone in this city.
