Explained by the Discovery of His Dead
BODY in a sand Bank which Had
Caved in Upon Him Year Ago.
ST. PAUL, MINI. July lS.-A year ago
the Daily Press teemed with stories of the
mysterious disappearance OF Charles, the
l2;years-o old son Of William Langforl, the
railroad contractor, and it went down to
history as another Charlie Ross case.
Last evening bis body was discovered
under most remarkable circumstances.
Near his fathers house is deep cut made
in street opening, and in the wall thus
made the children had been digging caves
in the sand. ~
Suddenly one of the diggers came across
a head and presently the body of young
Langford was disinterred. Examinations
showed that he had burrowed tunnel
over 1850 feet long and was probably en-
gagged in tho work when the sand caved in
and entomued him.
This occurred last July, and the recent
street opening was cut within few feet of
the spot where the body was found. It had
been charged that the boy had been killed
by a train aud the body buried to avoid a
| damage suit,
