ed the incident. Deputy Sheriff Me Cam went with a couple of men and finished the digging. They threw all the loose earth out and found nothing but they convinced themselves that the hole had been a grave. It was six feet in depth and about seven feet long. The ground in that vicinity is peculiarly ha<d so that one would not dig such a hole for fun. The sides and eds of the hole were quite smooth though not quite so regular as q grave made by a professional grave digger would be, but the excavation was doubtless made in the night and in more or less haste.
 The officers are quite certain that a body was buried there and removed recently. The matter will probably be further investigated. This grave is on the south side of the railroad track opposite that part of the buryine ground known as the Odd Fellows cemetery.

NEAR TO NATURES HEART

Morris Cook returned on Saturday from Los Angeles. where he has been for several months past. In the aft ernOon MT. Cook, his brother Vernon, Ray Satterwhite and Malcolm Gillett. left for the wilderness in imitation of President Roosevelt's pehchant for continuing with nature and to emu late his example as sportsman. Their chief object was to take advantage of their legal privileges under the game law and get as much for their money as possible. They started for the wild wood in the vicinity of Glendale. and expected to spend the night at the ranch of Messrs. Gillett ard Cook in the heart of the greasewood forest. It was their purpose to kill twenty five birds each by night and twenty five more yesterday morning before sunup so as not to break the Sabbath and en- abling them to get in two days shoot ing in twenty-four hours and still ans wer roll call at Sunday school. Any time this bunch fails to get it's moneys worth there will be a lot in the same predicament.

THt DEADLY STING
 OF UNKNOWN INSECT
The Body of a Little Mexican Boy
 Brought to the City Yesterday.

The dead body of Antonio Gamez. a five-year- boy, was brought in from the Agua Fria by his parents yesterday. The exact cause of death
 is unknown but it is thought that it was caused by the bite or sting of a poisonous insect There had been no medical attendance and an inquest was held yesterday afternoon before Acting Coroner Johnstone. The father of the boy thought that death had re suited from a thorn in the foot but that was only conjecture and the the ory is not borne Iout by the circum- stances.
 The father is engaged in clearing a | tract of ground along the Agua Fria three miles north of the Moore place. A week ago the child was playing about the camp and suddenly he gave cry of pain. He ran to his mother who found a slight wound in the bot tom of the foot. The boy was quite sick and for a day and a half ate nothing Though there was no notice able swelling of the foot, the. wound became inflamed and vesicular in ap- pearance. IL was opened in a search for the supposed thorn but nothing was found. The flesh about the wound sloughed off but there was no other manifestation.
 In a couple of days the child recov- cred his appetite, slept well and did not complain of pain. Two days ago he became feverish and refused to eat When death came it was without a warning.
 There was an entire absence of signs of lockjaw, which usually ac- companies a severe wound by a thorn nail or puneture of the hand or foot and there were none of the symptoms which follow the sting of a scorpion or the more common insects. There k a species of black spider, frequently called the trap door" spider. almost as large as a tarant Ila, but not woolly like the tarantula, whose bite the Mexicans regard as certainly fatal There is no violent pain like that the sting of the scorpion or the poi sonous ant or the bite of the rattle snake. The patient fingers for a week, sometimes longer, and then the poison seems to act suddenly on the heart.
 A few years ago the seventeen year old son of Jules Gowett was bitten by one of these spiders. which was killed at the time. The young man fingered for a week and during all that time his condition excited no alarm.

MYSTERIOUS FIND
 AN EMPTY GRAVE
A Farmer Reports to he Sheriffs Of- flee a Discovery Southwest of the City.

An uncanny and mysterious discov- ey was reported to the sheriffs office yesterday by Q MT. Walker who owns a farm south of the cemetery. He said he had reason to believe that some one had dug a grave on his premises. It was located in a thicket of mesquite and might have remained undiscovered for weeks ex cept for accident. His little daughter was riding through the thicket the day before and came upon a mound of fresh earth which had all the appear ance of a newly made grave. MT. Walker examined it and it had the same appearance to him. He set a Mexican to work throwing the loose earth out. The Mexican did not go about his task with a great deal of enthusiasm and the longer he dug the slower he dug. When he had attained a depth of three feet his superstitious fears overcame him and he refused to dig any more.
 That was yesterday morning and Mir. Walker came to town and report

PROCTOR ON SCHOOLS.
Governor Emphasizes School Super
vision as Best Work of Legislature.

At a meeting of school directors in Rut-
land Tuesday Gov. Fletcher ID. Proctor
spoke on the principal features of the new
educational legislation. He characterized
the school supervision feature OF the new
educational laws as the most important
bill passed by the last legislature. ut will
mark the legislature of 1906 as having done
more for the state of Vermont than any
previous legislature in many years, he
said. Supervision is not obligatory. The
speaker believed that the whole PROPOSE
ton had back of it the improvement of
the schools of Vermont. There has been
considerable change in Vermont in the last
% or 40 years. Formerly the parents as
sisted the younger children in the home
more than they do today. 1t is the duty
of the state of Vermont to meet these
changed conditions. If the state fails to
meet them it is sure to result most MUIR
iously Foreigners are coming into the
communities in Vermont more and more
and it will be advantageous and help to
the state if their children are educated to
be good American citizens.
1t is absolutely necessary that the state
provide better and different educational
facilities than ever before. To get results
it is necessary to bring in touch with the
students and teachers those trained and
skilled in the particular line of work.
Teachers would be 80 per cent. better II
they had help from trained minds. Local
boards of education are not equipped to
help them and it is not to be wondered if
they sometimes get discouraged. There
must, be proper educational sentiment
aroused in each community to build up
and educate Vermont children.
1T is better for the cause of education
to close the high schools of Vermont and
put the principals at. the head Of graded
schools than. to continue under present
conditions among the smaller schools. We
would get better education, better satisfac-
ton" said the governor. 81 believe that
if the supervision law is tried as it should
be twill be finally made obligatory. Only
by taking hold of it rightly can we expect
to accomplish the hoped for result"
