BODY OF MISSING
. IOWA BABE FOUND
LONE ROCK MYSTERY is NOT
CLEARED, HOWEVER, WHEN
TIVE SEARCH ENDS

Lone Rock, Aug. 17.-Walking care
lessly through ravine near here
Peter Christianson stumbled upon the
bones of child and the search Tor the
missing Marlowe 10y which had Gre.
ated national interest was at an end.
Following the verdict Of the cor.
oner's jury late fast might that death
was from unknown causes" authorities
stated today that they we're ah far
from S solution OF the mystery which
surrounds the child's disappearance
last spring as they we're the first few
days, when it appeared that he had
been swallowed up by the earth. A rigid
Investigation will be made, however,
in an effort to thresh out the possible
cause OF the two-y ear-old child's death.
w. L. Marlowe, father Of the child, EN-.
ployed detectives who searched the
country and practically every gypsy
camp in the middle west has been In
vestigated by the police, hoping that
the child might be located. Rewards
aggregating $4,000 had been offered
by the parents and others interested
in the case.
Following the announcement Of
Peter Christianson, father Of Mrs.
Marlows, that he had found the body.
the news spread like wildfire, and
throngs Of people from nearby towns
hurried to the scene. Automobiles
poured into the town for several
hours. Identification was complete.
Several theories have been ad-
vanced. The one that has been given
most credence is that the boy, who
was playing in the street when he dis
appeared, was struck and killed by an
automobile and that the body was
placed in the ravine by the guilty
parties to escape prosecution.
The fact, too, that searchers had
covered the spot where the body was
found several times after the disap-
pearance last spring, adds greatly to
the mystery Of the case.
!, Although large rewards we're Of
fered, several arrests made, and police
in practically every city in the middle
west notified, not the slightest trace
of the child was found until It's aged
grandfather stumbled upon tho bones,
a pair Of shoes and some rags.

There was q large crowd In town and
the program was held as usual in the
court house grove In the afternoon
The principal address Of the day was
given by Hon. James B. Weaver Of
Des Moines. Mr.. Weaver is a son Of
the late General James b. Weaver.
who lived here in Van Buren, county
during his boyhood days, and is. we'll
remembered by the old settlers, both
during that time and later in his life
when he visited here. Young Weav-
err as the old settlers called him
made q scholarly and able address
which was much appreciated by all
who heard him. He indulged good
deal in "reminiscences Of the pioneer
days as he had heard them from the
lips of the real pioneers, and tried to
impress on his hearers that happiness
was a condition of the heart, and not
a condition of things Following this
thought he showed how the old
pioneer days were days OF real happi-
ness to those who helped build an EN-.
pire here in wilderness. He spoke
Of Van Buren, county being the home
Of some many illustrious families
among whom were the Wrights, Bald
wins, sloans, Knapps, Caldwells, Nc
Crearys, Mannings and many others.
His address carried all through 1t the
note Of service as being productive
of the greatest happiness in life.
Just four years ago General Weaver
was the principal speaker at the old
settlers meeting, and 1t has Just been
fifty-four years since he was married
here in Keosauqua Van Buren coun-
ty people were glad to welcome his
son and to make his acquaintance
Following Mr.. Weaver's address the
annual election of officers was held
and the following officers elected for
the en- suing year:
President-E. H. Rider, Cantril.
Vice president--Arnold Barker Mt.
Zion.
Secretary-H B. Sloan. Keosauqua.

PLAN A BIG POLISH COLONY
10000 Acres of Land in Marathon
County Purchased for Settlement
by 500 Families from East.

Stevens Point.-A land deal which
ultimately will result in increasing
the population of Wisconsin MANY
thousands, was consummated here a
few days ago when tract of 600
acres in Marathon county was sold
to a colony of Poles. About 500
families will settle there early in the
spring and soon 5000 more families
will come.
This big sale of northern Wiscon-
SIN land is merely the beginning of a
big plan by Polish farmers in Ohio.
pennsylvania and New York. who
have realized that northern Wiscon-
sin is rich in agricultural POSSIBLE
ties
The purchase of that tract of land
in northern Wisconsin is a scheme
evolved by Polish farmers in the east
who are looking for better lands, :"
said John P Hume of the Wisconsin
Advancement association. There are
about 100000 acres of undevel-
oped land in the immediate neigh
borhood and as l understand it, most
OF that land will be settled by a de-
sirable class of people. One thiug
which is most noteworthy is their
thriftiness and therefore they will be
an acquisition to the state"
