CHILD'S BODY FOUND IN
THE SCHANNO DITCH
Murder May Have Been Committed
Mysterious Man i'm Gray Con-
nccted with the Case.

A young boy named McGinnis,
playing in the Schanno ditch below
the old ice pond, last Friday, dis
covered the body of child lying at
the bottom of the ditch in the mud
AS he made his way out of the
water, he was accosted by a man who
had ben standing on the bank who
asked him what had caused his
alarm. Upon being told. the man
came TO the spot, removed his shoes
and waded out to where the little
body lay. He carried it to the bank,
where McGinnis had good view
Of It.
Then. according to the boys story.
the man took from the body two
large rocks which had been tied, one
10 the head and the other to the
feet, as if to hold it under water,
placed it in sack. threw it over
his shoulder and, without a word of
explanation, started westward He
made no apparent effort 10 conceal
his course, going out onto the main
road and being soon lost 10 view
The boy states that the child's body
was discolored. but that he saw it
plainly and that it was of a size to
indicate that ii was about . y or 8
years old It's hair hung in two
little braids. The story soon reached
the sheriff's Office. and an nvestiga-
ton was made by Sheriff Grant and
Coroner Rosser. The former
found upon the bank near where the
body was brought out dress and
some other clothing of a child.
These give evidence of having been
in the water for perhaps a week.
Who the man was and where he
went with the child's remains are a
mystery. He was described by the
boy as tall. evidently middle-aged
and dressed in gray suit. Sheriff
Grant states that there are two or
three possible clues, one of which is
especially promising, and in view of
crimes having been committed. it
is to be hoped that the perpetrator
will be apprehended

Building Undergoing Change.

A large force of carpenters and
laborers is at work on the improve
ments announced some time ago by
the First national bank. The entire
lower floor of the old building will be
remodeled and the portion former
ly used by the Dudley Shoe company
will be included in the new room.
While the changes are being made a
temporary working place has been
prepared on the vacant lot adjoining
the bank on the west, which is very
comfortable during the hot weather.
The Dudley Shoe company last week
moved into the store room formerly
occupied by J. J. Macdonald. which
has been remodeled and converted
into one of the most modern and con-
veniently arranged shoe stores in
central Washington.

Cold Storage Fruit Exhibited.

A display of apples that have been
kept in cold storage since last Oc-
tober, on exhibition in the window of
the Herald office, is attracting much
attention. The apples are the red
Stamen Winesap and Yellow New
town pippin. and they are as fresh,
smooth and fine in appearance as
when picked from the trees. They
have been kept in a room at the plant
of the Yakima Artificial Ice company
at a temperature of 81 degrees above
zero, and show plainly the benefits
of cold storage for the preservation
of fruit. The only mistake that the
growers who stored apples last year
made was IN keeping the fruit for a
time after picking before storing it..
The proper plan is to put the apples
in the cold rooms as soon as possible
after they are picked. A great
amount of fruit will be thus kept
this season.

A Wonderful Band Master.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Robinson
left for Sparta, Ill, last week, after
residing about year in Union
City. In addition to Mr.. Robinson s
position in Robinson, Bransford &
! Company's tailoring department, he
trained and conducted the organi-
cation originally known as the Kid
Band for ten months of the time,
with the result that Union City had
become distinguished as having one
of the best bands in the State. The
band had just closed an engage
ment with the Second Tennessee
Regiment in camp at Murtreesboro,
winning easily the honors over the
other two regiment bands, at least
that was the opinion Of the Colonies
OF the Second and Third Regiments.
Colonel Tatom, of course, in defer
ence to his own band, could not at
ford to say so, but his First Lieu
tenant and chief officer, Colonel
Whitthorne, made one Of the pref
test speeches complimentary to
the band in the Maxwell House
that was ever heard in behalf of any
musical organization, in which he
was quoted as saying that Tennes-
see could hardly hope to have an
other organization the equal OF this
one from Union City. The band
was the favorite of the regiment to
which it was attached-the Second.
In fact the first concert given on
the campground by this band was
accorded perfect ovation all over
the grounds, the cavalry and the
boys of the First joining heartily
in the demonstration We mention
these things because the band has
many friends here who sincerely
regret that Mr.. Robinson saw fit to
leave. He is probably one of the
very best clarinet players in exist
ence and as band conductor has
demonstrated the fact that he has
exceptional ability. We wish him
we'll.
