A lady's suit which was stolen
from the Lucas dye house, when It
was burglarized Monday night, was
found lying along the Big Four rail-
road tracks near the plant of the Ma
rion Ice and Cold Storage company.
The suit was discovered by West

along the tracks early Tuesday morn
ing.
Not knowing the owner OF the
property, Mr.. lssleib did not re-
port his find until Tuesday evening
The suit was in good condition and
not damaged in the least. 1t was
valued at $25 and the dye house
proprietor was about to settle for the
loss when the suit was returned.
The police believe that the miscre.
ants discarded the suit, fearing that
1t would be too easily identified. Nc
trace of the thieves has been gained
and It is probable that they have
made a safe getaway.
Lucas discovered Tuesday after.

Body Is Found in Cemetery
Near Adelaide.
FINGER MARKS ON NECK
Tell of Harsh Treatment Ac-
corded the Little One.
Find was Made One Week Before
the Coroner was Called Full In
vestigatiOn win be Made.

The finding of the body OF q tiny
baby boy in the Underwood cem-
etery, a country burial ground near
Adelaide, is a mystery the residents
of that district are determined to fer
ret out, both because OF the heart
lessness of the act itself, and the
more serious crime underlying the
death OF the unknown child, which
the coroner today declared to have
been due to strangulation.
About two weeks ago, j.. Under
wood and his small son we're cross
ing the field in which the cemetery
is situated, when the boy expressed
wish TO go through the grave yard
The father consented, and in passing
noticed q small newly made grave.
At first he supposed someone had
buried a pet dog on the family lot
He related his discovery to his
father, whose suspicious were imme-
dlately aroused, since no records OF
a recent burial existed.
"Wednesday of last week, they pro-
ceeded to the home of Marsh Trey, a
trustee of the township, and the three
men visited the burial ground for the
purpose of investigating the contents
of the newly made grave. They
found II had been dug across a cor.
ner Of an old grave and was very
shallow, not more than four inches

The proprietor of the Colonial
fruit stand, which is located on South

Schern Wednesday morning and CIV
en- some instructions regarding the
manner of conducting his business in
the future. .......
1t appears that the Greek fruit
dealers have declared war upon the
cash grocerymen on South Main
street. The Greeks hold that the
grocerymen are selling oranges, lem
ons and bananas below cost in order
to run them out OF business. Satur-
day evening the first real battle oI
the ensuing war was fought.
About o'clock a grocery store be.
gan selling lemons at eight cents q
dozen. AS a result, the people crowd.
ed to the store and the Greeks lost
considerable business. Oranges were
also placed at an extremely low fig.
ure. When the Greeks began to re.
alize that the gro cries were getting
part of their business. they secured
a megaphone and adopted the auc.
tioneer method. They piled theil
wares upon the sidewalk and soor
had large crowd about them.
The excitement attracted the atten,
tion of the police and consequently
tn earraignment of the Colonial pro.
prietor, "Wednesday, When in con
ference with the Mayor Wednesday
morning, "Joe" declared that the
groe cry was selling oranges anC
lemons about thirty per cent below
cost and were robbing him of his

SO far below wholesale price?" queriet
the mayor.
IL did, and while he was LOSING
from five to seven cents on a dozer

and only losing two cents" respond
ed "Joe."
Mayor Scherff then informed hin
that If such were the case, he had M

were the ones who had lost.
The Mayer instructed the Greek Il
