Special to The Farn1er,

Branchville, Nov 16-The trunk of the Georgetown murder mystery. for which a tireless search has been main tained since the discovery of the trunk clue last Sunday, vas found. half burned in the woods a quarter of a mile west of the BranchyiIIe railroad station last night. Today it is in pos- session of Deputy Sheriff F. s. Bates. The discovery was made by Lester olnstead. a carpenter of Ridgefeld, who was hunting through the Branch Vile woods when he came upon the remnants of the important clue in the murder mystery.
 Olmstead returned home al.d last evening, under cover Of the darkness and zee panied by a newspaperman, heAWent back. Then, with the aid of flashlights. they secured the ground, earth. fs
 ly west of the little . yellow house which has figured in the tragedy from the start It is in the heart Of a ravine which is skirted by ar1 efrlif1- ence that commands view of the countryside for miles.
 Oimstead and his companions found merely the zinc lining of the trunk. The wood, except two fragments, was incinerated.s. The hinges, metal straps and other appurtenances which the fire did not destroy showed that the trunk was of suFstantials construction.
 Tn ree cinders were found remnants of cloth 2 safety pin. the heel of a shoe, piece Of rope six feet long. similar to that found on the hud5s andga quantity Of wire such as fasteH- ed the stone. to the corpse. Three but toms of different sizes one apparently such as would be used 5n a woman q tailored suit, the others of tin were also found
 Discovery of the trunk gives rise to a not untenab1e theory that the mur- dereFs may have taken the body to the spot where the trunk was discov-l cred, planned to bury the body, hence the upturned cath and then finalfq discarded the, corpse in the stream emptying into the pond and not more than a stones throw from the place where the remnants of the trunk were found

ENGLAND LIKES PEACHES
OF WENATCHEE VALLEY
Most of the Peach Crop of Next Year
viii be Shipped Abroad

That the London market has re-
ceived the Northwestern peach with
high favor, on the receipt Of the first
large shipment OF Wenatchee peaches
at that place, is evidenced in the fact
that this was made the subject of spe-
cial report to the U. S. Government
by Deputy Counsel Carl R. Loop. He
predicts that the trade in this fruit in
England will continually grow heavier.
He points out, however, that greater
care will have to be taken in preparing
the shipments to insure their arriving
in good condition, though the fine
condition in which this shipment of
3,100 cases arrived was made the
subject of flattering comment in the
London papers. Among other things
the London Daily Telegraph said:
THE new source of supply is the
Wenatchee Valley in the State OF
Washington. A consignment Of about
$4,000 of these peaches arrived this
week, and Covent Garden is watching
with interest the result of what is
looked on as something of CONNER
cial experiment. Wenatchee Valley is
on the Pacific coast. It already ex-
ports apples largely to this country,
and the climate is admirably suited to
the outdoor growth of peaches. The
fruit sent over this week is the Ell
berta, warm-tinted, heshy freestone
peach of delicious flavor.

Should Have Islands for Lepers

Secretary Kelly Of the state board OF
health is advocating some island in the
Pacific ocean or in Puget Sound be
set aside for a leper colony. He says
that in case the State should do this
that the United States government
would be willing to pay its share to-
ward caring for the victims Of this dis
ease, although he says that in his
opinion leprosy is not as dangerous
to the health OF community as is tu-
berculosis.
