evidence of having been crushed
either by n blow or Il bullet con

Woods he'd been murdered.
Brawley police who were familiar
with the ease at the time of Wood 5
disappearance, recalled that at the
time search for him was made &hout
ms premises. there was n pile of
milo refuse standing in the field at
4 spot approMmating the locality
of the grave.
The district attorney and others
working on the case believe that
Woods was murdered in, or near his

the milo refuse by the party or par
ties who committed the crime The
problem of fixing the responsibility
for Woods death now eonfron;> the

revealed.
Saturday, the district attorney
gave the particulars Of the case

criminology, and has mraveled sev-

Mr.. Heinrich proposes to start
out by sitting the dirt about the
grave, bi ievin4 that possibly a
bullet which killed Woods may be
found. He stated it is necessary
TO establish the manner of death if
possible, before proceeding further |
with the investigation.

Local Postmaster
Asks People to
Mail Gifts Early

Only little more than two weeks
until Christmas, Postmaster c. w.
Collins reminds the people of FL
Centre, and urges them TO do their
Christmas shopping and mailing
early.
Even at this apparently early
date, the postmaster states nm in
crease in mail can be noticed, and
IN the short time remaining before
the holidays, the rush will gradually
acquire momentum, reaching its
highest point Christmas week.
Carrying out the suggestions Of
the post office department, those
sending Christmas packages are re-
minded that they will not only aid
the overworked post office employees
but will also expedite delivery if
they take a little time to make GER
tain that parcels are securely wrap
ped, with post address written legi-
bly,, and the proper amount of post
age placed thereon.
Packages mailed in the next few
weeks can be marked "Not to be
opened until Christmas,' the depart
ment rules allowing such notation.
If the public will bear this in
mind, the postmaster states, and
mail their presents us far ahead of
Christmas as possible, it will aid
greatly in reducing the confusion
that always exists when the holiday
arrives.
Following cut the custom inaugu-
rated several years ago n booth will
be placed i'll the post office lobby,
on December : where the public can
have packages wrapped securely
without charge, paper, twine and n
