Was it l nfantlcide?

A few days ago the remains Of an in
fant were, found in stable, on Mr.. O..
K. Taylor s lot. For several days he
had seen some kind Of bundle lying
in the stall lie half coy cred with straw,
but though 1t it was just an old rag or
something of the kind thrown away.
Some of the other members Of the fam
ilv saw it, and upon investigation it
proved to be the bones and skull OF an
infant wrapp ed in a gossamer. 1t
seemed to have been there severa
weeks as the flesh had all decayed
This is a case for investigation by the
officers of the law. Will they let it pas:
or will they be diligent to search it out
If any clue can be found to the perpe
traitor OF the deed it will doubtless bt
ferreted out
