BODY IN A DITCH.
Murdered Chicago Woman's Remains
Are Found Buried.

Are Found Buried.
Pauline Merry's body. bruised and bat
tered, was found in ditch by the side Of
lonely stretch of road at Western ave-
nue. and S7th street, Chicago 1t was
taken to the county morgue the mute wit
ness to clear away part of the mystery
and corroborate the testimony of her pratt
Ting 3-year-old boy, who told that she
was murdered by the man she acknowl-
edged as her husband. The body was be-
ginning to decompose. The neck was
black and blue, and the imprints of a
hand We're visible. There was a cut an
inch long over the left eye and another
of the same length on the right side Of
the temple. The face and nose were
crushed in.
Guided by Thomas Hickey, IA compan-
ion of Christopher Merry, detail Of
police started out in search of the wom-
ans body. Hickey's lack of familiarity
with the streets and the fact that the
body had been carried away at night made
it difficult for him to find the spot where
the body was hidden. Two or three times
he halted the wagon and then changed his
mind and said he was mistaken. At length
the party reached the corner of Western
avenue and S1th street, quiet spot, and
Hickey recognized the surroundings. He
stopped and pointed to a spot at the
roadside covered with dry leaves.
The policemen were soon at work with
their shoves and when some two feet of
earth had been removed they came upon
bundle wrapped in bed clothing, which
was tied about with a clotheslne. The
body was identified by Hickey and Po-
licemen Ryan and Keefe as that of Mrs.
Merry. The disclosure which led to the
discovery was the confession of Thomas
Hickey,

a GOLDEN ANNlVE RSARY.
California to Commemorate the Min
eral Discoveries in That State.


Although California no longer has a
monopoly of the precious mineral it is still
called the Gold State" California has
produced more than SS0O,0oO.OoO of gold
since the first discovery Of it i'll 1913.
The exact date of this discovery has been
fixed officially as Jan. 10, and some Cali
fornians are now preparing to celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary of that day on
Jan 10, 1898. 1t is intended to erect u
monument designed to perpetuate and fur
Their extend the distinction Of California
as a State rich in minerals and to revive
some of the earlier memories of the Ar
gonauts who poured into California III the
winter of 40 and the spring of 90 after
the fame of California's gold fields had
become national. The monument is to be
composed of as great Il variety of mineral
substances produced in the State as is pos
sible. 1t is assumed that the ores, build
ing stones. etc, will be given freely by
counties, communities and individuals,
and for the artistic features Of the monu-
ment it is proposed to raise Il fund Of
100000.
The mineral wealth Of California,
though chiefly, is not wholly gold. The
silver product of the State though not as
large as that of Nevada or Colorado, is
considerable, and California produces
more than one-quarter of the whole
worlds supply of quicksilver. Copper and
antimony are also produced though not
in amounts as lar-e as in some other
States.
The monument for which the founda-
ton will he laid on Jan. 10 will Not be
the only feature OF the proposed observ-
ance OF this anniversary, fer there is also
in view the establishment OF a permanent
museum OF minerals. designed to show
not only what California has done in this
line. but what, also, it is likely to be able
to do in the future.
