and gashed. the body of an infant was

Three boys, who were searching
along h river for empty bottles
found the body Of the infant and i'm
medtately notified Park Policeman
John Dencker. who turned the case
over to the police.
The child had evidently been thrown
into h river and had been washed
up onto the shore. The head was
twisted around. but whether It had
been done before the child had been
gotten rid Of by an unnatural mother.
or whether the action Of the water

that Is vet to be solved.
The child was evidently about a.

about twelve pounds.
The body was taken in charge by
Deputy Sheriff Fisher this afternoon
and is being held pending the arrival
OF Coroner Hetherington who will ar

ATLANTIC DISASTER.
ANNIVERSARY
TODAY
Just Tlairty-nine Years Ago
That White Star Liner
Sunk off Newfoundland.

1t was just thirty-nine years e to-
day that the Atlantic. at that time the
biggest steamship in the world, hit "a
rock off Meagherhcad. Newfound-
land was wrecked. 5S3 passengers and
members of the crew hcing drowned
and 213 saved. the accident ACQUIRING
shortly afteH midnight. April 81, 1873.
Judge Mclaughlin this morning
stated that while the Titanic disaster
was a great one, there had never been
any II marine catastrophe which had
affected n one part of the earth AS
much as did the wreck of the Atlantic.
Practically all of the passengers were
from he south of ireland and many
members Of the crew were from
Queenstown.
Judge Mclaughlin was in Queens
town the day the ship sailed from
there and was in the last tender that
returned from the big boat after TAX
ing II passengers and freight.
According to him.. it was at that
time that Bidwell, the robber who
made a haul of one million pounds
from the Bank of England. tried to
escape. but was found on the boat and
then escaped from the officials.
Judge Mclaughlin tells some very
interesting facts in connection with
the reception Of the ews of the At
lantic disaster in Queenstown. He
tells of going to a small village near
there. where he made his home. and
tolling the bell to let the people know
that something had happened and the
scenes when the news was broken as
nearly all had relatives or friends, who
met death.

Was Terribly
Frightened Thought That
She Saw a Real Gh0st

r. A. Crimson Of this city has re-
turned after a business trip through
northwestern Minnesota and tells one
of the most weird tales heard in some
time. At Warren. Mimi. a few days
ago one Mrs. McChester received a
fright that scared her so badly that
her hair turned white, and Brinson
says he "a prove It.
Mr.. and Mrs. McChester resided a
short distance from the cemetery in
Warren and while their friends had
frequently remarked that they must
be possessed of an unusual amount of
nerve to live so close to the haunts
Of ghosts. they had always laughed
and stated that they We're not afraid
of spcctres.
Last week Thursday. Mrs. McChes-
ter heard a noise in the chicken coop
at the rear of the house and thinking
that a weasel or mink had gotten aft
err her pets. went out to their rescue.
1t was growing dark and things
We're taking on the CHASTITY shapes Of

from the ground and then falling.
Suddenly one of the most piercing
and terrible shrieks ina ginable sound
cd and seemed to come from the white
object in the cemetery. not more than
four hundred feet from the rear OF
the McChester home.
Frightened almost beyond control,
Mrs. McChester ran to a neighbours
home where physicians were sum-
moned to are for her. She became
hysterical and her life was for a time
despaired of. She was una BILE to over
come her fright and for several days
lay In a s~enli-conscious state. Dur

An investigation showed that the
white object was r. White horse that
had fallen into an open grave, break
ing all four legs. and finally in it's
struggles to get out of tho grave
broke his neck. Tho shrek WAS the
death cry of the horse. Those who
have heard horses Shrek in mortal
agony state that the sound Is the
most nnnerving possible. and no sur
prise at the terrible fright given Mrs.
McChester can be expressed.

MODERN PROBLEM.
Taxation Furnishes Theme for In
teresting Lecture by Bowie.

teresting Lecture by Boyle.
Taxation, a Modern Problem
was the subject Of an interesting lec-
ture given by DR.. James T.. Boyle this
morning in teachers college. DIR.
Boyle showed how much tax the av-
erage citizen in Grand Forks has to
pay. He took for example a carpen-
ter. living on a paved street in a
home assessed at s1,1s5. The total
amount of taxes paid by this man is
$21o.95 including the state, local,
and federal taxes.
He says the state and local taxes,
paid to the county treasurer. meet
h three famous requirements of
Adam Smiths Causes of Taxation"
namely. 90 the tax must be in pro-
portion to ability to pay; (2) tax
must be certain and definite in amount
and in time of payment. (3) all of
n tax ,or as near all as possible)
should go from the tax payers pock-
ct to the government.
The federal tax he says Is an Gin
direct tax. and is not levied in a pro-
per manner.

COMMITTEE PICKED
TWO SITES FOR
CAMP
Final Decision Will be Made
Within Few Days-Plan
Attractive Features.

Two sites suitable of the Y. M. c. A.
camp, which it Is proposed to estab-
fish at Maple Lake this summer, are
now receiving the consid Iteration Of the
board of directors.
Yesterday Boys Secretary l.. e.
Goodwin, Thomas Porte and DR.. H. H.
Healy went over to Maple Lake and
spent the day in selecting a suitable
place. A number of sites were offered.
but the committee sifted them down
to the two, n at Barney's Castle and
the other along the Strand shore.
The latter is probably the one to be
selected. 1t Is the closest to Mentor,
is situated some distance from the cot
tages. a lodge is already built. ample
room Is given for baseball grounds,
tennis courts, ETC., and an excellent
beach for bathing is afforded.
The board Of directors Is in receipt
of an offer from the owner Of one of
the sites and the other will submit a
proposition some tt1e within the next
few days.
1t is probable that the matter will
be definitely settled within ten days.
In case the camp is leased or pur-
chased in that time. work will be
started at once to erect suitable quar-
ters for the members Of the associa-
ton, a pier will be built and a SWIM
ming chute erected.
1t is expected that q boat house will
be put up and a few boats purchased.
Members who have canoes or boats
will be able to keep them there with
out fear of their being used by other
parties.
Cleaning Out Lake.
One of the gentlemen who was at
Maple Lake states that at the present
time. there is a large force Of men en-
gagged in cleaning out the dead fish
and burying them.
The thick ice Of the past winter was
responsible for the death Of a large
number Of fish. which with the break
ing up Of the ice have come to the sur
face. Every variety of fish may be
seen along the shores. and there are
literally thousands Of them. which are
being taken out and buried. (
