PROBABLY MURDER.
The manged Body Of Baby Found In
Shenandoah Creek.

A report was circulated in Shenan-
doah, Saturday morning that the mu-
tilated remains of an infant had been
found in the creek near Indian Ridge
colliery, but the authorities failed to
find any trace of the body. The re-
port was based upon the story told by
a resident of the vicinity, who said
that shortly after ten o'clock Friday
night he saw a woman throw pack
age into the creek and then hurry
away. Upon being informed of the
occurrence several people went to the
creek, and, with the aid Of a miners
lamp, discovered a pasteboard shoe
box containing the mutilated remains
of an apparently new born child.
No one cared to take charge of the
body and it was decided to leave it
until Saturday morning, when the au-
thorities should be informed. 1t is
supposed the remains were either
washed down the creek or that some
body removed them. Further inquiry
and investigation has failed to reveal
clue to the child or to the parents

MILES OF TRACK FLOODED.
Railroads Tied Up and No Attempt Being
Made 10 Run Trains.

The river broke over the levees
Sunday'night and flooded the bottoms,
carrying several houses down stream.
Monday in some places the water
was above the first story.
One Burlington main line track is
impossible and hundreds of men are
at work attempting to prevent damage
to the other line. The situation is
critical and it is not believed that the
Burlington will keep the main line
open.
The Wabash and Milwaukee tracks
are gone for distance Of 200 feet
and both roads are tied up. The Rock

No attempt is being made to run
trains. The river is still rising.
