the opportunities Of all workers for

'lt Is true Of wage-workers. as OF all

through which all the people work

BODY FOUND HALF MILE
BELOW BATAIAG BEACH
Wrapped In Blue Silk Waist
and Lace Curtain in
Plain Box
~ 4sa~' ---

Finding OF the body Of baby boy,
presumably murdered at the place OF
intended conccalment, probably adds
tragedy TO the long list of crimes
Identified with the historic Cimarron
river. There seems to be slight hope
Of finding the perpetrators of the lat.
est hidcous crime.
The body was found Sunday after
noon OH Seventh street extension,
about half a mile below the bathing
beach. It had been there at least
since Friday night.
The only clues GU which the ofIic-
ci's base hope OF capture are blue
silk waist and a lace curtain, which
were wrapped about the body of the
child. The ghastly bundle was in al
ordinary box. which yields no infor-
nation whatever.
Deputy Sheriff Harry Cook happen
cd to be at the river yesterday IN
company with Charles Knowles ano
family and T, +. Lane. Several boys
ran up the river from about a hun
dred yards below the party, saying
that they had found baby in the
river They said that they saw a
box in the river Saturday morning and
lifting 1t saw bundle, and then
slammed the box down
The deputy sheriff found that a
box without a lid had been put over
bundle. The body of the baby was
wrapped in the lace curtain and sill
waist.
On the left side of the head thea
was fracture of the skull, which
seemed to have been made by a blow
from a fist. The theory is that the
baby was alive when taken to- the -iv-
cr and that It was killed and then
rolled up and placed under the box In
the belief that the sand would wash
out from under II and that the whole
would soon be covered by sand. The
water was not more than five inches
deep.
The appearance of the body indicat'
ed that a physician was not in attend,
ance at the birth The baby was OF
usual size and fully developed. u
weighed at least twelve pounds fnd
had unusually long, silky hair.
