MURDERED BOY PUT IN Gan.
BODY OF LITTLE ANDREW JACK.
son FOUND IN FLORENCE.
Manner and Motive Remain a Mys.
terry, There Being No Thread of
Connected Evidence.

Florence, March S.-The body Of
Andrew Jackson, the little boy who
has been missing since Wednesday
afternoon, was found this afternoon
by the Boy Scouts, who have been
securing his section for trace of him
since appearance. He had been
MUIR nd the body put in an old
c3' Q disused track in the freight
y r.: yard, and had evidently
there since the night of his dis
</earance. There were indications
, the body Of the child. that he had
I been struck in the back, probably by
vehicle, severe blow, enough to
have knocked him senseless but there
were marks on his throat indicating
that he had afterwards been choked
to death.
There were footprints leading from
road to the car in which the body
was found. Evidently one party
waited in an old field between the
road and the transfer yard and was
joined by the other that had taken
the body to the car. There were also
prints Of a boys foot, which right
have been the foot Of the murdered
boy, leading towards the car, but not
away from it.
The boy scouts were securing the
country round this afternoon, and
Troop c, with Robert Howell and the
scout chief, were working up the rail-
road track. They divided at the trans
fer yard and were examining each car.
Howell discovered the body in one Of
the cars as he climbed into it. He had
the bugle sounded and the scout mas
ter, James Evans, who was near, was
summoned. They telephoned the chief
Of police and the sheriff and a ply
sician.
The body was in the car as if it had
been thrown in from the door. some
six feet from the door, partly on the
right side, with the knees bent as if
they had been hanging over some-
thing. There were some old clothes in {
the car, but nothing to show that they
had any connection with the body.
Magistrate c. S. McClenaghan en-
pannelled jury in the absence Of the
coroner. The jury viewed the body
and is taking all the evidence that will
throw any light whatever on the case.
How such a deed could have been
done is mystery and many theories
are advanced. The little boy was evil
IDENTIFY dead when he was thrown into
the car. There were indications that
the parties who put him there had
gone to the edge of a ditch six or
seven feet deep near the tracks and
contemplated throwing the body in
there, but changed their minds and
put it in the box. There is evil
dence of the fact that the parties who
did the deed were familiar with the
conditions about the yards, as they
chose the only way of approach that
could have been used without expos
ing them to view. How the blow came
on the boys back will explain the mys-
terry of the murder.

Cause and Symptoms of HOOkwOrm

HookwOrm disease is caused by q
small, round worm which measures
about half an inch in length and has

ducing ground-itch. and makes its
way to the intestine. and becomes full
grown. The parasite then feeds up
on the blood of the host, causes
bleeding places in the intestine. and
in all probability has poisons which
get into the system and may destroy
the blood Of the person. Each hook
worm lives from 10 to Is years after
entering the body. Outside the body
they live in the soil. And in turn they
get into the soil only through .oil
contamination with the bowel dis
charges Of n human being. There
