Fergus, Saginaw County, to the effect
that child was left asleep in wagon
in Marion Township by its mother
while she went distance of few rods
picking blackberries. the eyes of the
poor woman being greeted on her re-
turn with the sight of quantity OF
blood where her child had been, moth
ing being left but the mangled remains
of one leg. The supposition is that the
child was devoured by lynx or some
wild animal OF that species, and as
Warren and Dora Mathewson, of Fer
gus, while berrying up in that country,
say they saw an animal resembling
panther. 1t is thought by some to be the
same one that killed the child. The
woman's name Is said to be Green
baum. She is distracted with grief
and fears are entertained that she will
lose her reason. A search for some
further traces OF the child has been
made without avail.
