Cealed in the grass near Marshall Parda n
and Williamsburg Avenue. A negro man
employed in cutting grass discovered the VI
and turned it over to a bar
keeper near there. A little girl told a #
soldier Of the find. and Lieutenant- Colonel
Vaughan was notified. He In turn notified
Major Nottn CHAM. in charge Of the Eul-i

report as to the find. The deadly explo-
