WANTON MURDER OF A BOY
Lured From Home and Killed
by a Thug

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 17.-With his
head crushed and marks of fingers on
his throat the body of 6-year-old Fon-
ME Buck. who was lured from his
home at Stevensville on Thursday ev-
ening, was yesterday found in the
brush of the Bitter Root River, near
that town. The entire valley is
wrought up and Harry Jackson who is
held under suspicion. had to be re-
moved to Hamilton for safe keeping.
Since the boy disappeared hundreds of
men and women have been searching
for him day and night.
Last Thursday afternoon the child
accompanied an elder brother on an
errand to a neighbor's house and wait
ed for him in the road near the house.
When the elder brother returned the
little one was missing. All that could
be learned of him after that was that
he had been seen walking with
stranger some distance along the road
and he was heard by a passerby to
protest to the man that they were go
inc In the wrong direction Later. ac-
cording to the testimony of several
women. the boy was seen in buggy
with Harry Jackson and was crying
They were driving away from Ste
vensville.
Yesterday Jackson returned alone TO
town and he was at once arrested
on suspicion. but refused to talk ex-
cent to deny that he was seen with the
boy. The police have one theory
that the boy was kidnapped by mistake
,and was killed by the kidnaper after
he discovered his error. 1t is advanced
as part Of this theory that the inten-
tion was to abduct the son OF di-
'yorced woman whose former husband
had long threatened to get the child
which had bcen awarded to her by the
court: that the husband emp.oyeo
some desperate character to aoduc'
the child for him and that the trag-
edy resulted.
