BODY Of
CHILD FOUND
IN RIVER
BAND OF GYPSIES SUS.
PECTED OF HORRIBLE
CRIME; STRANGLED

August Fisher farmer, living two
miles south of the city, reported a
gruesome find to the sheriff's office
today.
While crossing the Purviance bridge
two miles south of the city early this
morning his attention was directed
to an unusual object floating in the
river.
He fished the "floater" to shore
and found it to be a large can with
fully developed infant crushed into
it. The little hands were obtruding.
and that is what attracted the at
tention of Fisher. He deposited his
gruesome find in the bushes and
hurried to the city for the sheriff
DR.. Houseworth, county physician,
after examining the body declared II
to be a fully developed male child
The little body was devoid of cloth
ing. While not badly decomposed,
the doctor is Of the opinion that I;
has been in the water for at least a
week.
No clew other than that a band of
gypsies camped near the bridge about
a week ago and visited several Of the
farm houses in search of younS
chickens, stating that one of their
women was very i'll. It is thought
probably that the child was murdered
by one OF the gypsies and thrown
into the river. A string was found
tied tightly around the child's neck
Indicating that it had been strangled
to death before jammed into the tin
can. The body was turned over TO

Country; Recommends Appoint
ment Of Attorney General

Washington, D. c., Nov. 14-With
an optimistic picture Of Alaska's fu-
ture, Governor j. f. A. Strong, in his
annual report submitted today to
Secretary Lane, urged that the gov
ernment exercise closer supervision
for the conservation of the territory's
wealth of fisheries, pointed out the
| need for the construction of a sys-
tenn Of wagon roads and trails to
SUPP lment government railroads and
declared means must be taken to
stamp out disease among the native
population.
With the promise that the future
holds" said Gov. Strong, 'and the
exact knowledge of the extent and
variety Of the great mineral and other
resources of Alaska, coupled with the
new Tread policy Of development
which the government has inaugural
ed, Alaska, 1t is confidently believed,
VIII hereafter occupy an important
place in the mining, industrial and
economic history OF the United
States"
1t is estimated that there are now
1000 white people in the territory,
an increase Of 8 900 over last years
estimate The total value of the 1913
output was $19,470,336 and
the total value of the products of the
fisheries was S15,739, ,068.
Both showed some declines from the
year. The territory's COM
merce in the last fiscal year showed
exports OF more than $61, 900, O00-a
decrease because Of lesser gold pro-
1uction while the United States sold
worth $21 ,929, AGO to the

Alaskas mineral resources, Gov.
Strong said, awaited development to

If an adequate coal supply, he said,
lad retarded industrial development.
Congress recently passed a leasing
ill to open the coal fields in the far
lorthern territory.
"Alaska's copper production said
iov. Strong. "is now important and
romises to increase largely within
he coming years. Given a supply OF

rices which make it available for in
ustrial use, the copper industry
ould be greatly stimulated by the
rection of smelters for the treat

"The construction of railroads by

The city of Mitchell was drenched
by downpour of 1.15 of an inch,

From all reports, the rainfall was
heavier in Mitchell than in any of the
surrounding country.
Rain to the South.
Aside from the territory immed-
lately adjacent to Mitchell. the heav-
lest rain is believed to have fallen
in the country to the south. At both

reported at close to once inch. To the
east, there were good showers at
Emery and Bridgewater, with a very
light rain at Alexandria. A light rain
also fell at Mt. Vernon, but did not
go west of there.
OF especial interest was the re-
port, that good rain fell at Armour,
Lake Andes and Platte, where it has
been very badly needed for some
time. It did not rain north of Nit
