RED RIVER HUMAN
DUMPING GROUND?
ANOTHER INFANTS BODY is DIS
COVERED IN RIVER YESTERDAY
SOME BELIEVE IT TO BE THE
SAME ONE SEEN BEFoRE-coR.
oNER WILL INVESTIGATE.

1 Has the Red river become a human
dumping ground--a place for the bod
les of unwelcome infants to be cast?
| This is the question which Is being
asked today in official circles of the
| city on account of the fact that yes
| terday another body Of an infant was
| found floating in the stream. The
body was partly encased in a cake Of
! Ice. 1t was removed to the Wasem
morgue where it remains until the re-
turn of the coroner who is out of the
\ city.
| The body was discovered by some
boys who were playing along the bank
of the Red river in Oak park. They
! brought 1t to the shore, removed the
ice and handed it over to an A. c. stu
dent who happened that way, and who
in turn notified the police department
| in whose hands he placed the tiny
specimen Of humanity. Chief Bowers
turned it over to Undertaken Wasem
after properly notifying Sheriff Boyle
who informed Coroner Mitchell of Ma
pleton.
This morning at the ,Wasem morgue
it was learned that the coroner had
telephoned to hold the tiny remains
until he could arrive in the city. The
body is exceptionally small and believed
to have BEEN about three months old
Speculation Arises.
The case is similar to the one last
summer when the body of an infant
who were fishing in the Red river in
/ D,l III n.
their fishing lines caught heavy
box, which was brought to the surface
when the bottom dropped out and il
was seen the box had contained the
body Of baby which rolled back
into the stream.
The mother and child fed from the
place in fright but notified some mar
who formed a party and accompanied
the coroner and dragged the river bee
without success in finding the body.
ouestion of Bodies.
There was an opinion expressed this
morning Of the belief that the bodies
might possibly be the same, but such
an idea was disabused when it was re-
called the first body seen was along
in July, and it would have decayed ere
this.
There was some agitation over the
finding of the body yesterday and il
was wondered whether or not the Rec
river was being converted into hui
nan dumping ground for the city OF
| Fargo.
Many believe it is question the
authorities should look into and that
an attempt made to prevent the reoc-
currence Of such conduct on the part
of those who have made these human
deposits. As it Is the second body
within six months, it is felt that it is
becoming too frequent and common a
practice. is

A LAUGH THROUGHOUT
Bill at the Savoy Productive of an
Hour Steady of Laughter
Fairies, Song Hit.

My Mother n-Law, the one act play
being presented at the Savoy this
week is drawing packed house at
each performance as the sketch is a
laugh throughout and the musical
numbers are far superior to any as yet
given. The appearance of the mother
in-law as played by Miss Suits is the
signal for a great round of merriment
which caps the climax Of an hour of
laughs.
Fairies, the sentimental number
among the songs, is proving a great
success and is one OF the most popu-
lar ever given here as the harmony,
singing and costumes are delightful.
The company has another exception

Idea. Saturday matinee at the Savoy

TALKED AT VALLEY CITY
Manager PIumIey of The Forum Ad-
dressed Students of Valley City
Normal Yesterday.

Valley City Times Record: Manager
Fl. C. Plumley of The Fargo Forum
greeted the chapel audience at the nor
NAL with a brief talk this morning.
The speaker began with a Renaissance
OF the time some thirty years ago, that
he first saw Valley City He predict
ed at that time that it would be a city
worth while, and this largely because
of it's beauty of natural environment.
The last census of the city, he said, is
a good indication that he was right.
Mr.. Plumley emphasized the value
of having a kind word of greeting for
our fellows. as we meet them. A smile
and a kind word with it, he said will
often put one in the right sort of an
attitude for the entire day, and this
often without our being conscious Of
it. Even the song Of bird in the
early morning will often do this, If we
but see the beauty of this and other
things as we 60 along.
Further, the speaker emphasized the
value of self control. Control of self
is more important than the control of
many material possessions.
The class in journalism heard Mr.
PIumley at o'clock in the model
school gymnasium. The subject of his
address was The Associated Press.

INSURANCE DEPT.
ISSUES BULLETIN
STATE INSURANCE COMMISSION.
Err ISSUES REGULAR BULLETIN
SHOWING PROGRESS MADE AND
WORK OF RECENT LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLY.

w. G. Taylor, state commissioner Of
insurance, has just issued his bulletin
for March, which shows that the re-
ceipts Of his department have broken
the record during the past two months,
which have been greater than those
OF any like period since the depart
ment was created.
He shows that fees consisting Of
agents licenses, filing statements,
ETC., amounted to $7,053,50, while the
taxes comprising 2h per cent on pre-
miums taken in the state in 1910,
amount to SS0,140.6s, making total
of $S7,194,1S, which as above MENTION
ed is excess of any period of two
months in the history fthe depart
ment.
The report also gives list of the
new companies admitted to do BUSH
ness in the state, and a resume of the
insurance legislation of the twelfth
legislative assembly, just closed. The
bulletin speaks of the inglorious de-
feat of the bill which tended to regu-
late. the control of the fraternal bene-
fit societies, which had been prepared
and received the Endorsement of the
national convention of insurance COM
missioners, the national fraternaI con-
gress and the Associated Fraternaties
of America.
The fire marshal bill which was
also lost, is also mentioned. The
Trimble bill is referred to and the
Simpson measure which provided for
the nonforfeiture of premiums on
policies of life insurance so long as
the cash surrender value allowed on
a given policy exceeded the amount Of
the premium.
The bulletin is quite complete and
covers the entire province Of the de-
partment besides giving a statement
for the edification of the friends and
patrons of the insurance department.

make his appearance, so when he re-
turned to town Boyle tryed to locate
him. The sheriff learned from citizens
of the town that Berisford had started
out to the farm.
Yesterday a searching party started
on hunt for Berisford and found him
lying behind straw stack. just two
miles out of Alice, not yet having
reached the Boyle farm. His body was
cold and it is presumed that it has
frozen in the cold Of the day and
night before.
Sheriff Boyle stated this morning
that to his best knowledge Berisford
was about SIS. years old and man
without any relatives. He has been
working at the Boyle farm for about
four years, and was always good
workman when sober.
The coroner has been called to care
for the remains.
