Mr.. Hoag was returning home and had
almost reached the house when some
one told him roughly to stop and throw
up his hands. He had been going along
absorbed in thought and, on looking up,
found himself gaz ng into the muzz'es of
two revolvers. There was nothing to do
but to comply and one Of the robbers
went through his pockets while the
other covered him with the guns. The
affair was over and the thieves disap-

heard the quarterly report OF Superin-

A young boy named Henry LOTHIAN
made CHASTITY discovery Tuesday. He
was fishing in the river near the short
line bridge when he discovered white
object floating down stream. With his
ish-pole he pulled the object to the
shore, when, to his horror, he saw twas
the headless trunk Of human being.
It had undohbtly been boy of about
thirteen or fourteen years of age. The
remains were badly decompesed and
from all appearances had lain in the
water for long time. The head had
evidently either rotted off or been torn
from the trunk by floating ice or logs.
The trunk being nude, there was no pos

to in life. There is a possibility of it's
having Aoated from many miles up river.
DR.. Nippert covered the remains up with
rubber cloth and left them on the
bank, and thereafter an undertaken was
notified to bury the CHASTITY hulk.
