Saturday and JOY has reigned In the lit
tie household at Flint village ever since.

killed in the local freight yards one day

Al least some man was killed there,
and from a card in his pocket he was
thought to be Bouchard. The body, some
what mutilated, was identified as Bouch-
ards by his sister. Since then the fam
lily have mourned him as dead.
At the time OF the accident, however,
the John Bouchard OF Flint village was
100 miles away from the scene on his way
to Chicago in quest of work.
Saturday he arrived in this city and im-
mediately went 20 his home. His mother
and the other members OF the family
could scarcely bring themselves to believe
