The RIVER MYSTERY.
CAUSE or MUCH SPECULATION
AND SEARCH.
Mysterious Note Was Seen by Boys
on Friday, Who Were Too Young
to Comprehend Its Meaning-A
Plausible Theory.

The finding on Saturday night, of
the card bearing the name of j. Is.
Butterworth. with the statement there
on that the writer had committed sui
eide by drowning was the cause of
much speculation and search yester-
day. Early in the morning Chief Dav-
export, with a number of men, went
out to the river and began the search
The water was so deep and black as
to prevent their seeing clearly any
thing that might be on the bottom.
Just enough could 'be seen to arouse
apprehension as stones. weeds and sub
merged logs took on ominous shapes
through the murky water. No one
about the neighborhood remembered
seeing anyone lettering about the place
but the scot is a secluded one and
visited very little except by boys In
search of a place to skate.
That the card was not put there on
Saturday, but was there on Friday
has been proven beyond a doubt. A
party of four boys. Carl Farr, Law
renee Farr, Orville Colvin and Scott
Harris saw it there and each described
it so accurately as to leave no doubt
as to it's being the same one. 1t was
then hanging in some bushes just
above the rock on which Turner and
Wyckes found it. The boys were too
young to comprehend the matter and
did not even read IT. One of them-the
Tom Sawyer of the crowd-evidently
who could not read at all-scanned it
critically and gravely announced that
the document said there was no dam
ger in skating on the adjacent pond,
and they proceeded to skate.
A PLAUSIBLE THEORY.
One theory that found much favor
amongst residents of the section was
that the placard was put there as an
ingenious method of preserving the
river for skating purposes. Skaters
will remember that last year. just as
the ice above the dam became CLASSY
and firm and a fellow could glide over
it's surface and see the pebbles on the
bottom the stream was preemDted for
ar ice pond and skaters were Drohib-
tied AS the pastime was also orohib-
tied from all regular ice ponds the lot
of the skater was hard. Now by To-
eating a mythical Mr.. Butterworth.
with his load of worldly cares in the
bottom of the stream, the ice industry
of that particular section would be an
initiated and the availability of the
place as skating rink not at all in
terfered with except for timid boys
after dark who are considered null
sance anyway. Such was one theory
which was even half believed by the
policemen who, nevertheless, searched
with all diligence.
Finding that nothing could be done
without a boat the search was aban
doned for a time and efforts made to
get some kind OF craft.

sickness are not due to any actual dis

~ removes. That is why it is the only
temedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
