iposed burial of a Mexican few
feet off the Dogwood canal, about
53 miles east of FL Centre, was solv
led yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Coroner Gordon and Undersheriff
Underwood, i@who after an hour s
digging anearthed nothing but
clay and brush. ~ 1T ''%t. ",
The inscription on the tree, where
the body was supposed to have
been buried, read E. E. Ernandez,
June 90, 1924. Mr.. Gordon on look
ing through his files found that a
Mexican bearing the same name
had been buried by him in the Ell
Centre cemetery on June. 23. T,
Mr.. Gordon further strengthened
the opinion that no one was buried
there. by stating this morning that
on June %, he had gone, to a Mexi-
can camp situated on the same spot
where the body was supposed to of,
been buried, and brought in Ernlan-
dez, who had died there Of a hem
orrhage. ,',t gga.,5,f l. III =

thorities for the appearance of the
inscription on the cross, was to the
affect that thu Mexlcan's camp
mates had put up this strange piece
of inscription with the intention of
the spot where their friend
had died. - q

two youths who. found the strange
on the tree, notified the
