HAROLD MOON IS DEAD.
Body of Lad Searched for All Over
the Country in Pond Near Home.

the Country in Pond Near Home.
Instead of having been kidnapped
when he disappeared from his home in
Flint, Mich. on Feb q, 10-year-old
Harold Moon fell through the ice of
Thread pond and was drowned.
The hunt for he boy, which has been
prosecuted in all parts of the country,
ended Saturday when his body was
found in the pond by Bert Robson, who
had been searching for it there for
days. A pair of skates fastened TO the
little feet bore mute testimony to the
manner of the lads death. The small
hands were still covered with the nit
tens which the boy wore when he went
through the ice.
1t was Harold's 17-year-old sister
Mariana who first learned that the
missing boy had not been stolen but
was dead. She had gone to the neigh
borbood store and heard the first re-
port there of the finding of his body.
The girl ran to her home and broke
the news to her mother, who for five
weeks has been enduring the strain of
not knowing whether her son was dead
or alive
harold Moon was last seen on Feb.
p going in the general direction of the
Flint River and the pond with his
skates over his shoulders When he
did not return home for supper tina
night his parents began a search for
him. There was no evidence along the
river banks or about the pond that he
had fallen through the ice. Then stories
became current that strange man had
been seen leading the boy away. The
police were notified and officers in ad-
Joining cities were asked to seek him.
A few days ago the Sons of Daniel
Boone, an organization of boys, with
branches in all pars of the country, of
which Harold was member, sent out
from its New York headquarters an
appeal to all of its membership to join
in the search for the missing boy.

The Cumberland Presbyterian Church
in Tennessee won the noted church case
with which the Tennessee Supreme Court
has been wrestling for two years. The
Supreme Court holds that the steps

Cumberland Church still exists, and that
its members still retain its creed and
doctrines. 1t was held that the Union
lists had allied themselves with another
and different church and doctrines. The
Cumberlands are given the church prop
erty, and the Unionists are adjudged not
to have a right or title to it. Their bill,
in which they sued to recover church
