Premature Male Child Found Near
the Road Side Wrapped in
Papers About Mile East
Of the Town.
Who the Parents Are is Not Known
Verdict Returned by Jury After
Inquest Held Last
Evening.
Especial to The Gate City !


CARTHAGE, Feb. 9.-Hardly has
the quiet little town of Carthage, ILL.,,
recovered from the sensational suicide
Iof the late Rev. Carmichael than an
other tragedy has taken place.
Yesterday while driving mile east
of town Frank Houston and William
Crupy discovered the body of pre-
mature male child about thirty
feet from the road side, the child dead
and the body carefully wrapped in
papers, which had only become loos-
ened by the wind.
AS yet there has been no one to iden.
tify the little child and the town and
town officials are entirely mystified
over the affair.
The inquest was held last evening
by the coroner and jury and the fol-
lowing verdict returned: Death of
premature male child resulted from un-
known methods"
Details.
The finding of the child's body oc-
Cured in the morning. The two gen
tlemen, Frank Houston and William
Crupy, were driving in a buggy and
when about mile east of town one of
them got out to walk and lessen the
weight in the buggy because of the
muddy conditions of the road While
walking in the direction of the Hous-
ton farm the child was discovered al
most hidden from view of passersby by
the long grass.
Wrapped carefully in papers was the
little baby boy with not sim
gle mark of any kind to show that he
had met death from violence.
Sheriff Bertschi of Carthage was no
titled by the men who discovered the
little body and later the coroner was
notified
Carthage people are excited to a
great extent about the matter and the
little infants death is shrouded in
mystery.
The inquest held last evening was
one of great interest but resulted in
little after a number of witnesses had
been examined.
The sheriff is working hard on the
case and expects soon to be able to
solve the mystery.
Who the parents are or where the
child belongs has not yet been solved.
The tragedy is the most fearful one
since the finding of the body of Rev.
