Sioux Falls.-A sensation was Great
ed in Gregory county when it became
known that John j. Drees, q. prominent
homesteader, had telephoned Coroner
Overton that he had discovered the
dead body of a newborn infant. An
inquest developed that the child had
been born alive and normal, and had
been strangled with rags stuffed into
its mouth. Mrs. Drees testified at the
inquest that the clothes wrapped
around the body and stuffed in the
mouth if the infant were pieces of a
skirt worn by Miss Dora Meyers, girl
who had been working for them for
the past three weeks. The parents of
the girl live only short distance from
the Drees homestead, and they drove
over and took their daughter to their
home. The Meyers girl is now under
the care of physician and is reported
to be in a critical condition. It is I'M
derstood that the girl claims rail-
road man is the author of her trouble,
and that she further alleges he told
her to make way with the child in the
manner indicated by the condition of
the body when found. 1t is expected ar
rests will be made.
