agreed upon.
The conquering army decided it would
be the proper thing to bury their dead
foe. and to this young Owens did not OBJ

the dead Spaniard" was carried with
great solemnity to the open grave and
lowered down into the sand. Quickly the

dd not heed his cries. but shoyeied the
faster, and soon he was hidden beneath
the sand. When they had completed
their work they marched from the field
triumphantly. When Owens did not re-
turn at evening his parents began a
search for him. The aid of the police
was sought and all the precincts were
visited, but no trace of the lad could be
found, Late at night some of the COM
panions of Owens were located, and
when questioned as to where Owens was
they said: "Oh, we left him up in the
brick yard"
They did not tell that they had buried
him. and when his parents and others
visited the brickyard they could not find
him. This morning one of the boys ad-
mitted that Owens had been "shot in
battle" and buried. Bryan Flanagan,
Michael Kennedy. and A. Dumas went
TO the brickyard yesterday and began
digging In the sand for the buried lad.
About O'Clock they uncovered his body.
Coroner De Freest Is investigating the
case. The boys state that they did not
think 1t would harm Owens to bury him
in the sand. and they believed that he
would soon dig his way out and go home.
