B0DYFOUND
Boys Find HeAdless Body of Young
Woman In Cincinnati Sewer

Western Press.
CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 5.-One of
the deepest mysteries which ever faced
the Cincinnati police hinges around
the finding of the headless body of a
young woman in Bloody Run sewer,
between Cincinnati and Norwood early
this morning.
When found the body evidently had
been in the sewer two weeks. Elk.
pensively dressed but nothing was
found to show the identity of the VIC
tim. The head had been cut off and
the hands had been partially eaten
away by rats. When one of the
pstrolmsn- caught. one of the arms to
pull the body out of the water the
arm was pulled out of its socket. Of
ficials stated murder had been COM
mitted beyond a doubt.
The body was discovered by two
boys who had lost a baseball and
were searching through that part of
the sewer to find it. The sewer drains
a section of Walnut hills and the po-
lice say the only way the body could
have been in the sewer was to have
been placed there. The case is deep
eli mystery than the famous Pearl
Bryan murder of several years ago.

CAPTURED
MontrOse Officials Hog Reward Com
ing to Sam Ethridge Who
Captures Fugitive

Stock Inspector Sam Ethridge re-
turned from Montrose last evening
where he captured and turned over a
horse thief wanted in Moab, Utah,
named Moore, and passing as Young
and also King ip Durango and Mont
Young, as he was known around
this city, was one of gang who stole
bunch of horses from around Red
mesa in June, and Sheriff McCluer
and Inspector Ethridge have spent
considerable time tracking the guilty
parties down since that time. They
secured line on Young and followed
him to Pennington and back, to find
that he had left for the Telluride
country.
At this point Inspector Ethridge
took up the chase alone, and followed
the man of several aliases from Tel
luride to Montrose, after pursuit of
about three weeks. There he secured
his prisoner and lodged him in the
Montrose Jail.
The Montrose authorities refused to
have anything to do with the case, but
said that Mr.. Ethridge must hold the
man upon his own responsibility. This
was in discussing the question as to
the prisoners identity with that OF
Will Moore, who was wanted on an
other charge in Moab, Utah, and for
whom a reward Of $50 was offered by
the authorities. That a reward had
been offered was not mentioned to
Mr.. Ethridge at that time.
The latter telephoned the sheriff at
Moab in regard to the prisoner and
the same resulted in the officials COM
ing To Montrose. Meanwhile, C. C.
Samson, stock inspector in the Mont
rose district, came to Mr.. Ethridge's s
assistance, and in order to get the
prisoner to talk, Mr.. Samson rugged
himself up as a cowboy, and was COM
mitted to Jail with Moore. He re-
mained in Jail from o'clock one even
ing till the next morning, but the
prisoner refused to talk, so Mr.. Eth
ridge was none the wiser for the sub
terfuge.
When the sheriff from Moab arrived
he recognized the man Young as the
missing Will Moore, who had been
sentenced to the penitentiary in Salt
Lake in the year 1905. He secured a
motion for a new trial and was out
on bonds, when he skipped, and just
few weeks ago, July Ia, the bonds
men responsible for his appearance,
paid over the amount due.
W. J. Bliss, the Moab sheriff, took
charge Of the prisoner and settled
matters with the Montrose official,
who happened to be the deputy, the
sheriff being out Of town, and de-
parted with Moore FOR Salt Lake. The
transaction was completed while Mr.
Ethridge was at dinner.
When he returned and asked for a
settlement, his telegraph and tele-
phone bills were paid and the sum OF
$15 handed to him, the Montrose Off
cials keeping the rest Of the $50 re.
ward offered for the apprehension Of
Moore.
Why Sheriff Bliss paid the reward
to the Montrose officials is somewhat
Of a mystery, especially ~ they 70
fused to take any responsibility in ~

ago, it was found inadequate for the
needs of the population at that time.
Since then the population has increas-
Ell at a trenmous rate and traffic con-
ditions became steadily worse. A gen.
eral extension of the subway system
Throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn
was decided upon as the only method
Of relieving the daily traffic conges-
tions, but it took many months to set
tic the numerous questions as to the
routes, the methods of construction,
the payment of the cost of construc-
ton, etc. AT last all the obstacles
were removed and settlement with
the lnterborough Rapid Transit COM
pany reached. The actual work on the
new system was begun the other day,
when the ground was broken at Sixty
seventh street and Lexington avenue.
Johnny Dugan, better known on
the east side as RED Dugan," noted
character in that part of town, was
made the victim of cruel joke the
other day. AS may be inferred from
his nickname, Mr.. Dugan is, or rather
was, the possessor of fine crop of
fiery red hair. The other day, while
he was taking an afternoon snooze
on a truck standing in the street,
somebody clipped the ruddy locks on
orehalf of his head close to the scalp,
lan nuip0 fhnca ha nfh huI
touched. When Dugan awoke from
his slumber and found out what had
been done to him, he became infuri-
ated. He had his tintype taken to
preserve record of his condition and
then started on a still-hunt for the
miscreant who had robbed him of half
his wealth of hair.
The detectives are puzzled by the
gruesome fact that during the past
week or SO several human arms, legs
and other parts of human bodies have
been washed ashore in and around
New York by the waters of the Hud-
son and of the Sound. The fragments
belonged evidently to different bodies
and were apparently not amputated
by scientific methods. The police au-
thorities are unable to decide whether
these human fragments are to be con-
sidered as evidence of some crime or
crimes or whether they have to deal
with the gruesome coke" of some
medical students.
The Goddess of Liberty which occu-
pies SO prominent position in New
York's harbor, needs a new dress. Not
that her present dress has grown out
of fashion-the rules of mundane
fashions do not apply to the garments
of goddesses-but it has become
threadbare in many places and needs
patches. Salt water and sea air COM
bined seem to have had corrosive
effect upon the bronze of which the
statue is made and in many places
holes have been eaten through the
plates. The war department in whose
charge the statue is, has been notified
Of the condition of the statue and has
charged an engineer with the task of
making a careful examination and re-
porting some plan for mending the
statue and for preventing its gradual
destruction by the corrosive influences
of sea air and salt water.

INTENDED FOR SAILORS USE
First Crackers Made In America
Were Clumsy Affairs Made OF
UneaVened Dough.

The first cracker produced In the
United States, so far as known, was
pilot or ship bread, a large, round,
clumsy, crisp affair, which supplied
the demand of the merchant marine
for an article of food that would un-
like ordinary bread, keep for a pro-
longed period.
Later another variety was orig
mated, the cold water cracker, which
differed from the first chiefly In its
smaller size, more compact texture,
and greater hardness, For long
time these two we're the only goods
known TO the trade.
They were both made of unleav-
ened dough, mixed and lnoaded by
hand; and each cracker was rolled
out and shaped separately before be-
ing placed, one at a time, on a long
handled sheet iron shovel or peel, and
transferred I'm order to the floor OF
the oval-shaped tile oven then in use.
Il was not until some time later that
raised or fermented dough was used
In the manufacture of crackers, and II
is only within the past 10 years that
any great variety has been produced

A Sentimental Conductor.

a prize for unconyenionality in
courtship should certainly be awarded
to the Baltimore street car conductor
who woued and won a housemaid who
worked in one of the residences along
lhe line on which he was assigned to
duty. The maid knew the approximate
times when her lovers car would pass
the house and juggled her household
tasks in such manner that she would
be at one of the front windows at the
right time.
Every time the car neared the house
the conductor would signal the friend
ly motorman to stop, although the
stop was in the middle of the block.
After he had thrown a kiss to the
maid and had received one in return,
he would ring the bell and the car
would proceed
When, however, the conductor was
transferred to night duty, a new prob.
lem presented itself This he finally
managed to solve with a lantern
which he waved to the maid on the
two trips before midnight. Each cir
Gle of the lantern was supposed to
represent a kiss.-The Sunday Maga
