ZUERICH, Switzerland, June q
Near Ruth. a village in the Zue-
rich ObCrland, the police have
made a highly sensational Liscov-
cry. For a long time a remote
farm house was occupied by fam
lily named Oberholzer, consisting of
two brothers and sister. For
some time evil rumors concerning
the Oberholzers had been floating
about and they were accordingly
Stunned and feared by the other
villagers.
A number of robberies had been
committed in the neighborhood,
but, although grave suspicion rest
ed on the recluse brothers, their
guilt could not be brought home TO
them. Uuwelcome visitors to their
farm were received with Sunshots,
and so they were left unmolested
until a few days ago, when the au-
thorities found cause to search the
house. An immense quantity OF
stolen goods was found, but worse
things were discovered later. A
wall excited suspicion owing to its
peculiar shape, and when an opepn
ing was made, rough coffin was
found enclosing a female skeleton
with clothes still adhering to it
It's identity has not yet been es
tablished, but that some awful
crimes have been committed in the
house appears to be now practically
certain,

A Child OF

FN away in DIES region Of

or flowers to bloom, where the eye
sees endless wastes of sand, COW

little girl.
Lived in a little wooden house,
close beside the single line of rail-
road. Her father had charge of
the wayside station.
When trains came and departed
were the only events which broke
the monotonous existence of these
desert jewellers. The little girl
would sell coffee and doughnuts to
the passengers. They admired her
sweet face and gentle manner, and
gave her flowers or candies they
had brought with them from the
wonderful country beyond the sand
hills which bounded the horizon Of
her life.
She would take the flowers and
coax back a little freshness into
them before they faded, and over
their petals she dreamed of a land
where green trees shaded the burn
ing sun rays, where green grass
formed carpet for her little bare.

fresh and sweet, where streams
sparkled in the ripping course.
