furnishing timber to the Kerr Barrel
Co., and has nineteen good men at
work in the timber near Eddyville.
They have $4,000 feet of timber cut
and ready to raft down the river.
A horrible discovery was made this
morning by old Dutch John. who lives
just south Of the river and near the
ball grounds. About o'clock this
morning his dog came dragging some
thing up the river bank by cloth
which upon an examination showed to
be an infant child. The police were
at once notified and Immediately took
the body to the city hall where an in
quest was held after which the re-
mains were buried. The corpse was
wrapped III cloth and was somewhat
discolored, but was neither pulled nor
black. The body had evidently been
put into the water sometime during
the night to hide crime of deepest
dye. Few facts could be obtained and
none that would tend to show who
were the guilty parties. a.a

May 19.-Reub Hieflin, an employee
in the Hardsocg factory, met with
what might have been a fatal accident
this morning. He was overhead Oiling
the machinery when his pants leg was
caught In the shafting. He had grit
enough to hold on until the machinery
was stopped and he was released. He
had boots on and the boot leg no doubt
saved his life, as he could never have
held out had the boot leg not protected
him.
Dr. Hyatt was aroused this morning
about 8 o'clock by the noise of some
one raising the window in his bedroom
on the first floor. The thief got the
window up about fifteen inches when
Mrs. Hyatt aroused and he was then
frightened, away. Saturday night the
doctor, after he had retired, thought he
heard someone upstairs raising win
dow, and on investigating found win
dow open over the porch, He thought
at the time that it had been left open
but the unmistakable evidence OF at,
tempted burglary this morning now
convinces him that the same fellow
was about Saturday night.

been shot at one Of the Whitebreast
