DROWNED NEAR HOME
LITTLE EMMA SKIBA FOUND
DEAD IN MUD PUDDLE.

The little daughter, aged 3 years
and 8 months, Of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Skiba, Of the West side, disappeared
about, 3 80 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
and was found dead Wednesday after
noon shortly after 2 O'Clock.
The Skiba home is about q block
from the Lincoln school. The mother
last saw the child out in front Of the
house and supposed it was playinQ-
with other children. Missing It iateT
and not finding it anywhere in the
neighborhood, she notified her bus
band, who. is employed at the Ander.
son factory, and both father and
mother searched for the child. Search
ers were out during the evening and
night. and the territory as far south
as Plke Creek was covered. A reward
was offered to stimulate the search. It
was thought the child had probably
been picked up and was in some house,
as happened in other cases.
An attempt was made to get the
bloodhounds from the refcrmatory at
st. Clo1d. but Keeper Whitney
thought the animals would do no good,
not being very we'll trained, and the
scent being old.
In the early afternoon while another
crew was preparing to go out, the
child was found in deep mud puddle
in the brush west of J. W. Cross
fields house, not far from the child's
home. 'The little girl was lying on
her face in the deepest part of the
pond. Some Of the searchers had gone
through the pond without finding her.
Evidently the child, for some reason
or other wandered into a cowpath
which led straight into the puddle and
being almost covered with water she
must have soon drowned, and was pro-
badly dead by the time the search be-
gan.
Coroner Chance was notified but de-
cided that an inquest was unneces-
sary.
The child's body was discovered by
q young girl named Helen Artino wski
who will receive the reward offered
for the finder.
The parents have the sympathy of
all in the misfortune come upon them.
