ans Body Found.

ans BODY round.
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 4.-The head
and lower extremities of a young wom-
an were found in Yellow Mill river, a
tributary of Long island sound, by
three boys. The CHASTITY find revealed
a crime which in all details, so far
known, resembles the murder OF Gull
densuppe, the victim of Martin Thorn
and Mrs. Mack. The only difference
being that the victim was a handsome
woman instead of powerful man.
The case is shrouded in the deepest
mystery, for while many Of those who
viewed the dead were certain that the
features were those of a local person,
the authorities are not inclined to
agree with them. The trunk Of the
missing portion Of the dsmembered
body of the supposed murdered woman
was found later at the same place the
other parts of the body were discovered.
Later in the day DR.. Holmes of this
city Identified the head found in the
Yellow Mill river as that of Rachael
Warner, a professional nurse. He says
he had treated her and that she often
told him that her husband treated her

Items Culied Out for the Benefits OF Our
Own Readers -News OF the Past Few
Days Which VIII be of General Interest
to Michigan People.
Lansing. Mich, Sept 13.-For this re-
port correspondents have secured from
threshers the results Of 1917 jobs, ag-
gregating 1882 acres of wheat
threshed in the state, the yield from
which was 2.274.271 bushels, an average
Of 1854 bushels per acre. In the south
ern counties 1888 acres threshed aver
aged 1891 bushels per acre. In the cen-
trail counties the average is 1857 BUSH
els, and in the northern counties, 1859
bushels. The area in wheat in the state
last May as compiled from the returns
of supervisors was 1,725,44S acres. This
is the probable acreage that was har-
vested this year. Computing by coun-
ties for the southern and central Sec
tions. and for the northern section en-
tire, gives probable yield in the state
Of 34,162.563 bushels. This is more than
ever reported in the Farm Statistics
The final estimate will be made in Oc-
tober.
The number of bushels of wheat re-
August report was published is 1,712,39
OF this amount 1881 bushels were
marketed before Aug. 1, but not re-
ported until late in August. and 954,S16
bushels in August. The amount Of
wheat reported marketed since the Au-
gust report was published is 524647
bushels more than reported for the
same time in 1897, and the amount re-
L..
ending with July, which is the wheat
year for Michigan, is 17,922,506 bushels
or 1891, 453 bushels more than marketed
in the same months or the previous
year. The amount of wheat actually
marketed in August this year, 954,S16
bushels, is 1924 bushels more than
marketed in August last year. Thresh-
ers' returns indicate that oats will yield
in the state thirty-two bushels, and
barley twenty-four bushels per acre.
The figures for oats are seven bushels,
and for barley five bushels above the
estimate one year ago.
Corn, beans, potatoes and pastures
have been injured by the dry weather
though scattering showers have afford
ed partial relief. Beans are estimated
to yield SO per cent. and potatoes 70
per cent. of average crops. Apples
promise in the state about six-tenths
and peaches three-fourths of average
crops. The estimate for apples in the
southern counties is 81. and for peaches
76. The estimate for apples in the state
one year ago was rs and for peaches

made his blood boil on more than one oc-
castor TO see two or three destructive
youngsters run down Main street where
there were a number Of gas lights and
with stones skater the glass in every
gas lamp for two or three blocks.
Another member stated that this could
b. avoided without much trouble by the
offenders being brought before Justice

them only once. as he did with a certain
outfit of Hobos not very long ago 10 put
a stop to any such outrage.
