Evidences of what officers think
may have been a crime committed a
long time ago were discovered yes
terday when sack partly filed with
infants clothing was found floating
in the Animas river. Appearances
would indicate that child's body had
beer at one time part of the con-
tents of the sack, and that it had been
cast into the water with hope that
the landing place would be far from
human habitation. In the course Of
time the body had either been washed
out by the force of the waves or been
taken out. The clothing does not fur
nish the slightest clew to the crime.
The second son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Fulchecr of Hurley, N. NJ,
passed away at the family home Sat-

disease that resulted from the terri
ble heat which prevailed in that sec
tion. The mother left via Trinidad
ard Montrose for Dolores with the
remains where interment takes place

ceded it to the Great Beyond only

known to many Durango people. Mrs.
