NOTE SAID. BURN 1T
OR DO SOMETHING'

Portales, y. M, March 25.--The
discovered in a mail pouch by Post
master C. o. Leach a few days ago
and the local officers are working in
an effort to find the man to whom It
was sent. The package containing
the little body was addressed to Roy
w. Carr. and the return address in
dicates the sender to oe I1a Rhodes
Carr of Woodstock. Ill
The parcel. a box twelve inches
long and four inches wide and thick.
fell out of the mail pouch along with
hundred or so of letters. 1t had
been forwarded from Roswell, to
which place 1t had been originally
addressed, The parcel Immediately
attracted attention. The clerk laIi
l. aside. Soon the clerk notified the
postmaster 1t was decided that the
package contained the body of some
dead animal. Postmaster Leacn took
the liberty of opening it. Under tire
lid was found a note and under the
note the body of newly born infant
The note was written on a small
slip of paper in pencil, in good hand
writing. 1t read:
II don't know what else TO do. Blu II
IT or do something. Right away.
Don't open" The note was unsigned
but it Is in the same handwriting as
that in which the parcel had been ad-
dressed.
Officers Begin Investigation.
The postmaster summoned the
sheriff, the justice of the peace and
Dr. G. T. White the health officer.
Dr. White examined the remains but
| whether he concluded the infant had
been still born or had been killed is
not known. Woodstock, Illinois, the
| address given by Ida Carr, has been
notified and also POstoffice Inspector
Mckee Of Denver.
Roy Carr, to whom the terrible gift
was sent, is evidently a Woodstock
resident. He had been at Roswell
and to that place the package was
| originally addressed From there he
! came 70 Portales leaving a forward
| address. With the postmaster here
| he had left word to have all his mail
sent on to Woodstock, the place from
/ which the package came.
The body Is badly decompOsed and
! It will oe hard TO determine whether
| the child was killed or died a natural
/ death. Arrests are expected TO fol-
| low.

That Miss Yaw. besides this dainty. limpd upper register-the height of which seems almost unfathOmable-hc at the same time cultivated a reasonable, sol i'd lower register. shows the splendid force Df intelligence which she has uCation. Miss Yaw's voice is abso- lutely unique in the fact that it pos scsScs q higher range of singular deli cacX and limpidity. coupled with q low CT register of adequate sorority and resonance.

ed that the people of the island. under

the island In 1898 the powers con-
stituted Crete, with it's adjacent islets
