Body Found; Murder Suspected.

Delta.-A coroner's jury is investi-
eating the death Of Mrs Emma EN-
cry, 40, domestic, whose body was
found in a newly made shallow grave
in a secluded gulch five miles below
Delta. Two boys discovered the grave
and reported the matter. A sheet had
been tied over the head of Mrs. EN-
ery's body which had no other cover
ing except a short chemise and stock
ings. Wagon tracks led from the
grave to the main road. Mrs. Emery
owned the team and wagon and about
the time she disappeared hired a man
to drive for her. Three weeks ago
the man sold the team and wagon,
stating that Mrs. Emery had gone to
Gunnison to nurse her mother. The
man disappeared a short time later.
and the authorities are on his trail.
They believe that Mrs. Emery was
murdered.

To attempt to plan your life for a

as foolish as 1t would be to comments
to add up q column Of figures without
knowing what more than half Of them

Justice to the innocent sometimes
demands that we expose the faults Of
our neighbor. but we ought to meet the
occasion as an unpleasant duty, not as
a joyful opportunity.
1t pays to be generous IL only for
the claim II gives US on the generos-
ity Of others when our time of need
comes.
1t ought to be made a penitentiary
offense to thrust upon the radiant hap
