Sheriff E e. Owens and the deputy
sheriff, Roy Langley, went at once
10 the spot. They were met in the
road just east of the Krum bridge
by Mr.. Tobin and Mr.. Snyder and,
turning south through a gate, pro-
ceeded along the east bank of the
creek to the spot where the can had
been found. The can and it's con-
tents was brought to Mitchell and
given over into the custody of DR..
c. A. Bower, coroner and 1880 o.

At present mystery surrounds the
source of the crime, which is murder
according to States Attorney Lauritz
Miller. Holes and Sits evidently We're
made in the can at the time of throw
ing 1T into the water so that it would
sink, which it doubtless did A body
under these conditions will remain
at the bottom from four or five to
ten days and then come to the top
through gases formed by decomposi-
ton. For this reason it will be diff
cult to judge with any certainty
when and where the act was commit
ted.
No Medical Attention.
From the fact that necessary med
ical attention was not given the child
it is evident that no doctor attended
the case and that the act was done i'm
mediately after birth. In the bottom
OF the can was placed a piece of
cloth and the nude body of the in
fant crowded in feet first. A piece of
paper was over its head and under
the cover. AS it was very healthy
appearing infant and fully develop
ed it is almost certain that the child
had lived. 1t weighed about seven
or eight pounds as near as could be
estimated
Mr.. Snyder is a farmer living in
tent on the creek not far from the
place where the baby was found and
is brother of William Snyder, who
lives in MITCHELL He stated that since
the heavy rains of last week, the
current in the creek had been very
slow because of back water from the
river. This together with the fact
that the body had evidently very re-
Gently risen to the surface, would in
dicate that it had been thrown in
not very far north, although it is en-
tirely possible that the place where
it was thrown in may be a good dis
tance from where the child was born,
County officers have gotten in
touch with all the physicians within
some distance of the city to try to
discover if any of them have been
called to treat case that would
correspond to one of this kind. but
no such clue could be found. Doubt
less good reward will be offered by
the county for evidence leading to
the conviction of the guilty party or
parties.

ANOTHER NERO.

The history OF Nero, one OF the
emperors of Rome, is familiar to
most school children. He has for
many centuries been referred to as
the most cruel and profigate man
who ever disgraced a throne. Among
his many brutal acts it is recorded OF
him that tho took Christians, saturat-
ed their clothing with oil and setting
them on fire converted them into
lamp posts and temporarily lighted
the streets of the city of the Caesars.
According to advices from Mexi-
co, there is fiend in the western
hemisphere, now thirsting for pow
er, who is capable of performing any
feat of cruelty which has been as
cribed to Nero
Francisco Villas attack on Cusi-
huiriachie is described by survivors
in an article printed by Ell Demo
crata, of chihuahua, which has reach
ed Ell Paso, Texas, as accompanied
by horrors almost without parallel
in the history of the recent revolu.
ton. Women and children fell, as
well as men, in the massacre, and
survivors told of the case of 2 wo-
man who, because she had nursed the
wounds of Gen. Gariza, was said to
have been shot and wounded, and
with her infant child was soaked witt
petroleum and burned to death.
