The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance Of little Joseph II. Mall
lioux, four year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Malllioux Of North Gros-
venordale, was solved Tuesday morn
ing when the body of the child was
found floating in the river near what
is known as the Church crossing. Ar
thur Faucher, who was going down the
river in a rowboat with Albert Van
dale, to inspect some muskrat traps,
found the body, which was taken into
the boat and later viewed by Coroner
R c. Paine, MD.
The little boy wore the red REFER
and other garments worn when he dis
appeared on April 8. The point where
the body was found is about one-third
OF mile below his parents home near
where he is supposed to have fallen
into the river. The finding Of the
body was in a sense a relief to his
grief stricken parents, who, during the
period of nearly three weeks that the
child has been missing, suffered worse
agonies than actual knowledge of his
death would have entailed.
1t is considered strange that the
use of dynamite, in the river soon aft
er the child disappeared failed to bring
the body to the surface.
Horace A. Warren Injured in Runaway
A spectacular runaway that fortu-
nately ended without more serious
consequences, startled the people in the

morning. A horse driven by Horace
A. Warren became frightened near
Bugbees store by an automobile driv-
en- by A. Delisle, and plunged madly
down the steep incline on Pomfret
street towards the bridge near Car
gill Falls. Mr.. Warren was unable to
control the frantic animal and when
opposite the store of William Rafferty,
near the foot of the hill, the vehicle
crashed into a hSdrant, breaking It
off. Mr.. Warren shot up in the air q
dozen or more feet and when he struck
the ground received scalp wound and
painful cuts and bruises about the
nose. He was taken into Mr. Raferty's
office and given such attention as his
injuries required. The vehicle was
wrecked but the horse was not in
jured.
