Badly Mutilated : No
Clew to the Crime.

A body OF 40 infant was found 10

its neck, 70 the end OF which was at.
tached a brick bat and q piece Of iron.
The water at this place vas about
three feet deep, while the wire was
somefour feet long This being the
case the infant Is supposed to ha se
been thrown Ia while the creek was
up, and the water going down, caused
the body to be exposed.
The infant was q white girl baby.
1t was not clothed and was probably
thrown In alive, as ell indications
point to this theory. One arm was
gone and q limb was missing which is
supposed to have been eaten of by

by the physicians, must have been in
the water for three or four weeks.
The authorities are thoroughly In
vestigatlng the case In an effort to
