GREWSOME FIND OF A
PARTY OF CAMPERS
Saw Child's Body Floating Down
Stream, But Could Not
Secure It.

REDDING. Aug. 21.-A story comes
from Fall River Valley to the effect that
Amasa Dollarhide and some campers,
while fishipg on Pitt River. discovered
the body of a boy floating down stream.
They describe the corpse as that of a
child some or years of age, dressed
In white waist and dark colored knee
trousers. They made every effort to Sc
cure the body, but having neither rope,
boat or any other appliances, they were
unsuccessful. though they say that at one
time they could almost reach 1t.
They followed the body for about half
a mile down the canyon. till they came to
a large eddy and thinking the body would
remain there for some time they hurried
back to town to get ropes, but when they
returned to the place the body had dis
appeared and has not since been seen.
Quite number of men went out from
town and searched along the river until
dark but their efforts amounted to Moth
ing. The parties who saw the body are
not able to say whether 1t was white
child or an Indian. The face was dark
and badly swollen and bruised, probably
from contact with rocks and snags in the
stream The mystery is deepened by the
fact that no child. Indian or white, has
been reported missing. The dress of the
child would indicate that 1t was not an
Indian. The witnesses are highly re-
spectacle. and the incident has attracted
a great deal of attention.

peopled by men and women who have
lived there all their lives and who have
the determination of the British and
Scottish ancestors. But the county
had no railroad to haul its produce to
market. and the offer of one was hailed
with pleasure thirty years ago. The
nearest line to st. Clair was at Sedalia,
sixty miles away.

Tebo and Neosho Railway went to Os-

Missouri discussed the proposition for

road was graded through the whole
