A Mysterious Murder.

One of the most cold blooded and
mystifying murders that has ever
come to light in Yuma was uncover
ed Saturday, when two Mexicans
discovered the mutilated body OF
Mrs Mary Parker, a we'll known ne
gro woman, in a thicket of willow
bushes within SO feet of the banks
of the Colorado river, says the Yu-
ma Sun. The body was crumpled
up in the sand, entirely nude save
for stockings, the hands tied to-
gether with strips of clothing that
had evidently been torn from her
body, and two CHASTITY wounds on
the head. The only article near the
body was a small empty purse.
Shreds of the woman's clothing were
in evidence, but nowhere could her
dress. skirts or shoes be found. One
wound was on the forehead and an
other on the temple, and they were
evidently inflicted by knife, or
some other sharp instrument. Blood
here and there about the body indi-
Gated there had been desperate
life and death struggle. Great
clots of blood were on the forehead
and one of the eyes had popped near
ly out of it's socket The opening
in the dense thicket where the corpse
was found was small, just barely
large enough for the body. On the
bank of the river in the wet sand
nearby were prints of wOman's
shoes but the shoes of the victim
were not discovered

Big Storm Damage.

Undoubtedly the worst rain storm
that ever struck Hyde Park and Vi
cinity, came Saturday night, when
from about eight till midnight the
rain fell in torrents, with hardly any
cessation.
During the downpour there was a
cloudburst which swept over the town
carrying out two bridges on the main
road to Johnson, one at Centerville
and another one in Hyde Park. Be
sides this, IL culverts were washed
out and roads in various parts Of the
town badly quilted.
The St. Johnsbury & Lake Cham
plain railroad was hit hard, 80 feet
being torn out of the road as it pass
es through the Finnegan farm and at
least 800 feet on the Mcfarland farm.
Temporary filings have been made
and the trains are carrying by for a
while.
The damage to Hyde Park is esti-
mated at at least $4,000, besides the
damage to the railroads.
In Johnson damage done by the
storm was almost as severe. A great
deal Of what is known as French hill
was washed down onto the railroad
at the depot.

are giving to heworld greater things
each year but never can anything
more wonderful be wrought than the
creating of a human being.
Why is it we withhold from our
children this wonderful story of life?
1t was Gods own plan for his chill
dren and methinks He who is "love
and truth" must often be panied at
our feeble excuses for His wonderful
laws.
The challenge comes to us to give
our children the truth. To their cry
for bread we have too long given a
stone.
In the foreword of one of the Ed.
Box books we are told that the ma
jority of parents have felt that a
child must not be told anything about
itself and for years this deplorable
policy of silence has held sway until
now we are beginning to realize how
universal it has been, and how chill
dren have been allowed to go out int0
the world with their eyes closed, re-
sulting all too often in their own
great sorrow and to the lasting after
regret of the parents. We are thank
full this old view point is rapidly
changing.
Years ago / remember being in
home where the day previous a new
baby had arrived at the neighbor's
and was causing the usual wonder
ment and excitement among the lit
tie folks In this home where / was
calling, the little girl came up to her
mother and asked, Mamma, where
do babies come from ?" Without any
compunction or hesitation whatever,
that mother replied, "From old
stumps." / shall never forget the pc
culiar look on that child's face. 1t
was an incredulous look. In plain
words that child knew she was being
deceived by her mother. Now, why,
oh why, do we feel called upon to
apologize for Gods own laws?
AS soon as a child begins to talk it
begins to ask questions. At first,
WHY and then HOW and as time
tions poured into a mothers ear
goes on out of the stream of ques-
comes a rather startling one, Mama,
where did / come from?" To most
of us this is the very hardest question
of all. Almost Immediately we ask
ourselves whether we need to answer
this and our mind hastily reverts to
our own experience. Perhaps no one
has answered these queries for US
and need we just yet. No, we'll put
it off, it's so much easier that way.

with apologies to Tennyson).
Work, work, work,
For a nations life's at stake,
And the foe of man does all he can
To swallow the goods we make.
Work, work, work,
For our brothers across the sea.
And would that my hands could fash
ion
The things that they ask of me.
Save, save, save,
For the world is threatened with
want.
And those who waste but help and
haste
An enemy grim and gaunt.
Save, save, save,
And give to the hungry to eat;
What doom were worse than the dv-
ing curse
OF child who starves for wheat?
Pay, pay, pay,
As We hold your freedom dear,
Lest the hostile host fulfil its boast
By bringing its hell-fire here.
Pay, pay, pay,
That the murder of man may cease,
And brotherly love that's born above
May cherish a righteous peace.

DRAFT WILL TAKE
90 COUNTY MEN.
Orleans County Credited with 120
Against Total of 213 Men Allot-
ted, Leaving 90 for Draft.

Adjutant General Lee S. Tillotson
of the Vermont military department
gave out at Montpelier yesterday the
figures showing by counties how the
Vermont quota of the national army
will be raised. Credit for voluntary
enlistments in the Vermont national
guard and the regular army has
wiped out the complete quota of Wind
ham county, while Caledonia county
viii be required to furnish only 20
men, and Washington county p men.
Orleans county's total allotment for
the army to be raised was 213 men
but credit is given in each county for
the enlistments before June 80, and
Orleans county is credited with hav-
ing contributed 120 of this number,
seven to the regular army and 113> to
the national guard company. This
leaves a difference of SO men to be
taken by the draft, but in the adjust
ment of totals, the county is asked
for one less. 1t is anticipated that
the local boards viii carry the adjust
ment further into the various towns
those having furnished most soldiers
according to population by volunteer
ing will get off easier in the draft
than those towns which have fur
nished few men.
1t is expected the draft will be
made the last of this week or the first
of next.
Rutland county has the largest
quota to raise, the number being 208,
closely followed by Windsor county
with 207. Bennington and Addison
counties must raise 127 and 123, re-
spectively.
The IA counties and their quotas
under the apportionment announced
by Adjutant General Tillotson are as

VERMONT NOTES

The infantile paralysis epidemic in
the state appears to be on the wane,
there having been but two new cases
in the past ten days. Thus far the
cases have all been confined to Wash
ington county.
The mystery in connection with the
disappearance of Alice Bradshaw, s
years old, daughter of John Brad
shaw of Lyndon, was not solved up to
yesterday. The first evidence of truth
in the statements of Mary Hicks, one
of the women held for the murder,
was the finding of a dozen uprooted
small pine trees on a hill near the
Bradshaw farm house. The Hicks
woman told John Bradshaw, her en-
ployer, that after killing his daugh-
ter, she and Mrs. Alvah HENDERSON
uprooted some small pine trees and
covered the body. The pines were
found as the woman said. Some
weeds and grass that might have been
used in concealing the body, were al
SO found, but not the body.
