STEP-FATHER IDENTIFIES
BODY FOUND ON TRACKS
Dead Man is Edward Van Der
Reiding of ST. Joseph Farm
Was in MiShaWaka Satur-
day Night.

The body OF the man found dead
on the Grand Trunk tracks at the Bill
Lott crossing about three miles north
east of the city Sunday morning was
identified Monday as that OF Edward
Van Der Rieding. The Identification
was made by the step-father, Emiel
Storms, Of St Joseph farm, Notre
Dame. Mr.. Storms stated that Van
Der Rieding was employed at the st.
Joseph farm and on Saturday night
with two companions came TO Mish-
awake. 1t is supposed that return
ing home the man lost his way and
went In the opposite direction from
the farm. He was Of Flemish birth
and was past &c years old. He is sur
ViVed by his mother, two sisters Mrs.
Frank Keller and Mrs. Jessie Bright
Of South Bend, and one step-sister.
The body was found shortly aft
er daylight but it Is thought that the
accident occurred some time during
the night.
Chief of Police Krieter with an I'M
dertaker were called to the scene
where they found the body strewn
along the tracks for a considerable
distance. The head was partially sew
cred and both legs cut off while the
body was otherwise badly mutilated.
A thorough search of the clothing
by the police and Coroner Swantz of
South Bend revealed nothing but an
old brass chain, a stub of a pencil and
$1.96 in change. No papers or other
means of Identifying the man were
found although his shoes were recent
ly purchased and had the mark of the
Union Shoe store of South Bend. The
remainder of his clothing were clean
and Of good quality while his under
clothing apparently was recently pur-
chased. His appearance was that OF
laboring man. He was OF medium
height and probably weighed $50
pounds, of dark complexion.
Coroner Swantz of South Bend was
called to investigate the case. The
funeral will be held Tuesday after

CITY WAS IN DARKNESS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

The electric lights OF the city went
on a toot for over an hour Sunday aft
ernOOn when the picture houses were
crowded with patrons. The weather
was gloomy, and the residences were
almost in complete darkness. Many
went to bed in which they fell asleep,
and forgot to waken for hours after
wards. The Century was compelled TO
dismiss its audience, while the Prin-
cess, which was also showing to a ca
pacity house, endeavored to keep its
patrons in good humor by funny an
nouncements. These, however, grew
to be less humorous in time, and the
manager had to issue return admission
tickets, TO those whose time for amuse-
ment was limited TO sixty minutes. or
course, George Senger, VINO looks aft
er the entertainment part of the citys
life, was in the best of humor; he is
blessed with an even temper at all
times, otherwise he would have been
likely TO annihilate the city's electri-
clan had he been able to get hold of
him at the psychological moment the
lights went out. 1t seems that the
lighting department of the city'S ma
chinery Is so overworked during the
week that it is necessary for IL to
make repairs on Sunday, hence there
is always a chance, and betting one,
that something of such an untoWard
nature is going TO happen immediate
" after you have parted with, what
may be, your last nickel While the
audience at the Century was dismissed

to a sudden conclusion when the lights
baked, the Princess succeeded In

ence chewing gum for the full sixty

FIND DYNAMITE BURIED
NEAR HEN ISLAND DAM

Buried flush with the ground in an
isolated sand bank, in the near vicin-
ity OF the Michigan Electric light and
power company, 90 sticks OF highly
explosive dynamite were found by a
-1ber OF small boys who were play
Inc and digging in the sand. The box
was buried to its full depth although
the top was uncovered. The boys no
titled the men at the power company's
plant who at once notified the police.
AS to where the dynamite came
from, who placed it in the bank and
why. is the mystery which confronts
the police department Many believe
that some organization or person had
designs on the Hen island dam and
that the explosive was buried in close
proximity for a purpose probably, TO
either render the plant useless or blow
out the dam which would not only
cause great damage to the property
but would without question inflict
terrible catastrophe TO Mishawaka-
In the event of the dam going out
the great eXpanse of water, which is
contained in the reservoir, would be
released and Mishawaka would be
flooded to the house tops in many sec
lions while the plants of Mishawaka
Wooden company and Perkins Wind
Chief OF Police Kreiter however
advanced the theory that the dynamite
was probably buried by some fisher
man who was using ii in the river
nearby. In many places the chief stat
ed, fishermen use dynamite to effect
a greater catch, especially where
profit is In view. This he said is the
probable solution of the mystery. He
also added that the investigation
would he carried further an endeaVOr
made to locate the party that sold
the dynamite.
Following an investigation of the
bank and the ground in the vicinity
the officials buried the dynamite in
another place four feet under the
earth where after a short time the
conditions of the weather will render
it absolutely harmless.
Previous to the arrival of the police
and after shoveling out the mysterious
box from the ground the boys pried
open the cover and removed the dy-
Mantle. One of the boys considerably
older than his companions recognized
the sticks as dynamite and told his
friends in great glee that they could
now have a world of fun. The tubes
were carried q considerable distance
away to a pile of rocks where they
were broken into small pieces in an
endeavor to blow them Off One lad
had gone so far as to touch match
TO one stick which sputtered for
while and went out. 1t is thought that
owing to the inclemency of the
weather the past few days the top
layer had become soaked with water
and ruined the explosive ingredients
Of the sticks Following the attempt
to shoot off the sticks the boys went
to the power house where they told OF
their find.
