A TEN MILE MYSTERY.
Cleared Up Through Post nTortam Ex-
animation of an Infants Body.

~
animation Of an Infants Body.
Some people living on Ton Mile, near
Kimini. made considerable work for
County Attorney Nolan, Coroner Rockman
and two physicians yesterday. Ii all grew
out of the death Of a baby which was born
lnss December to Mrs. Lawrence, who
lives near timini. Tho child died week
ago last rnesdax. The neighbors knew
nothing of It's death and noticed that the
little one had disappeared They ques-
toned its mother, who said that it died
while she was coming into Helena In
buggy. bhe said that it had been buried
by an undertaken in the city. Her story
was not believed by the neighbors who
knew that her husband had left her short
time before and that she was making
preparations TO follow him. Some color
was given to this suspicion when she gnye
was turned over to woman at
kimini, and the Others to a sister
ln-lnW who lives in the Denver
block on Broadway. The people ont in
len Mile who knew of the circumstances
determined to Investigate the mystery.
One of them came to Helena and saw the
county attorney and wanted the officer to
swear out complaint charging Mrs. Law
renee with numbering her infant. This he
refused to do as there WAS no evidence to
JHat1Iy sucn an accusation. DOC McHurney
then came in from Ten Mile and swore out
q complaint before the sheriff. Deputy
Sheriff Roddlck found Mrs. Lawrence with
her sister-in-law at the Denver block. She
was taken to Col. Nolan's office and inter
.Iogated and she then told her story as fol-
lows. Her baby died On March 8 at her
home on Ten Mile. She was
alone at the time. Soon after
u miner came in and found her CRYING.
When he asked what was tho matter she
told him her baby was dead. Her husband
had gone and she had no money to pay for
the burial. The miner said he would bury
it.. box was made ana he carried it up Il
side hill and dug the grave. The mother
and the miner we're the only persons
present.
By authority Of the county Drs. G. K.
Cole and j. 3. Atchison we're employed to
make nost mortem examination Of the
body. On Tuesday DR.. Rockman, accom-
panied BY Mrs. Lawrence and Deputy
Sheriff Roddick. went out to Ten Mile.
The mother pointed out the spot and the
remains were dug up and brought to the
city. Drs. Cole and Atchison made the
morgue, in the basement of the court
house. The physicians found that the
child had died from natural causes, and SO
reported to Col. Nolan, who directed the
sheriff to release Mrs Lawrence from
arrest. During the examination she was
kept at the jailor's office, and not locked
up. s%+a
A jury were summoned last night to held
an inquest upon the body this morning and

is liable to prove an interesting factor
in the series. While he made no phe-
nomenal runs, he scored five times in
the double figures, and when his hun
dredth button had been marked his av-
erage stood 1-6. Only one game in the
Foley tournament of last winter was
played SO strong, and that was won by
Wilmot, with all average of 5 and
fraction. 1t is prophesled that Capen's
grand average will not be less than 4,
and this is great for amateurs.
Dickinson played steady uphill
game, and it Is perfectly safe to assume
that he will be well up among the party
before the final is reached. His high
run was only 13. but he is not close
player, and seldom goes very high in a
single inning. His game is open table,
and he leaves the balls wide for his op-
ponent when he finishes, as a rule, and
this feature will help him to win some
of the games.
Today will witness four star events.
In the afternoon Gaines will play Ron
aid, and then in the evening Glow will
meet Hatch, Doherty, of Minneapolis,
will meet Summers, and Bingham will
play Snyder. These are all possible
winners of the elegant GLOBE emblem,
and a great deal of interest attaches to
the play of the day.
