INFANTS BODY
IN STREAM
REVOLVING CRIME COMMIT
TED NEAR WHITWELL.
Special from Third District.

Special from Third District.
Some party or parties murdered
newly born infant, and threw its body
into the millpond at the company mill
after cutting off its head and one arm.
The body was wrapped in brown
wrapping paper with copy of Chat
tanooga paper dated May %, wrapped
around it. A stone was then securely
dashed to the body and approaching the
bank the party dropped it into the riv-
er as he thought, but as the stream
was high it lodged in some bushes and
so was discovered when the water re-
coded. The body was thrown into the
river Just where the public road first
comes up to the mill pond. An 81
pound rock was tied to it of such a
shape as not to slip from the strings.
The body of the child was well devel-
oped and the crime was evidently COM
mitted to screen some party from dis
grace. 1t was either murdered at the
time of its birth or Immediately after
ward, for it had not been washed or
| dressed.
The body was first noticed by fish
| erman, Joe Dykes. 1t was caught on
a limb, the heavy rock on one side and
the body on the other, and the current
of the stream kept up a continual
movement. Mr.. Dykes waded in and
! brought it to the bank where it was
viewed by more than a hundred peo-
pie.
Suspicion has been directed at GER
tain parties in Whitwell and it is prob
able arrests will be made shortly as
soon as further evidence is secured. II
is the duty of the sheriff and coroner
to ferret out this mystery, which seems
to have been done here to reflect on the
people of this place. A fifty dollar re-
ward will probably be offered for evil
dence MS parties here are anxious tc
have the matter cleared up and the
guilty parties apprehended.

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the di-
gestive juices and it is through these
juices that the food we eat is acted
upon in such way as to produce the
rich, red blood that flows through the
veins of our body and thereby makes
us strong, healthy and robust, and
it is the weakening Of these digestive
juices that destroys health. 1t is our
own fault if we destroy our own
health, and yet it is so easy for anyone
to put the stomach out Of order When
you need something take it promptly,
but take something you know is relia-
ble-something like Kodol For Dyspep-
STA and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant
TO take, it is reliable and is guaranteed
to give relief. 1t is sold by j. w.

After discussion and many express

after comforting, reported the follow
