Yesterday afternoon, after he had
been playing around the yard and was
finding it a bit irksome. Francis Walter
Powell son of Mrs. Rose Isabel Powell,
ventured afield. Down the street a
little way he found pretty RED box
with glass face perched on pole.

At any rate. Francis did reach the
box The glass. he said later. was
broken on one side and he didn't have
any difficulty getting his fingers inside
the box. His exploring fingers found a
key, which he took out and gravely
examined.
He put his young mind to the prob
lem of what the little key was doing In
the box and what it might be used for.
Then. looking more carefully at the box.
he saw hole inside.
Maybe the key fits in there" he
thought, and soon found that 1t did.
He turned the key around. but nothing
seemed TO happen. He then took 1t out
again and looked it over to see what

the Presidents order for the local mill

KEPHART'S CLOTHES

0uizzed Tonight.

A new complication was being inves.
tisated today by detectives seeking to
unravei the mystery surrounding the
attack on Leonard w Kephart. Depart
naent Of Agriculture scientist, in The
Soldiers Home grounds last wednes-
day and the attempted kidnapping Of
E. Percival Wilson, banker. later the
same night. The complication was a
cloth cap.
Detectives O. w. Mansfield and d, J.
Murphy yesterday found in a lake IN
the Soldiers Home grounds an over
coat, coat, pair of trousers. gloves.
shoes. watch, f1ashlight and cap.
which Mrs. Kephart today identified as
belonging to her husband. The coat and
trousers matched vest which he had
on when he came home after the at
tack.
Kephart was not at home when the
detectives arrived this morning. Mrs
Kephart said he Was away resting. S1a
said she would have him appear at the
tenth precinct station tonisht at Z
o'clock, formally to identify the articles
At that time the detectives expect TO
question Kephart about the cap. A Ielt
hat previously had been found IN KEEP
hart's automobile. which was useo III
the attempted abduction Of Wilson. and
Kephart identified the hat as his. MRS
Kepf,art also today said the cap was
his.
The hands Of the watch had stopped
at 1885. about two hours after KEEP
hart was attacked The finding of 81
cents in change in the bundle in the
lake also affected the robbery theory
although Mrs. Kephart said today that
her husband had lost ST in bills. which
has not been recovered. The detectives
expect TO try the lake again in the
hope of finding this money and some
papers Kephart had in his pocket that
night.

WIFE OF AMERICAN
NICARAGUA VICTIM
Rebels SavageIy Treat Wom-
an in Revenge for Informa-
ton Given Marines.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANAGUA. Nicaragua, May 15.-The
east coast of Nicaragua was incensed
today over the savage treatment the
wife of an American named Miller suf-
fered at the hands of rebels.
Seeking revenge because of informa-
ton given by Miller to the Marine
forces, the guerrillas swept upon his
plantation. on the Coco River, near the
east coast. Miller was absent. In
their fury the rebels assaulted Mrs
Miller. They carried off everything
OF value. What they could not take
they destroyed. 1t was not known here
whether the victim of the atrocity was
also an American.
Rebels appeared first at Sang Sang, on
the Coco River. In the middle Of April
They began % pillage the villages gen.
orally. from the store OF Abraham
Martinez they stripped all the merchan-
disc and took $500, and from the store
Of Jose Lleset. a Cuban, they took mer-
chandise valued at more than $4,000
They also robbed the Cuban of his
cattle and gasoline boat. Smaller
merchants also were raided, the rebels
seizing their boats, supplies and every
thing Of value.
Confiscate River Craft.
On learning that American Marines
were planning a drive up the Coco
River to cut them of from supplies.
the rebels confiscated all the river
craft For some time the insurgents
kept men and boats at leading points
along the river One of these outposts
heard that Miller had given the Ma
rines valuable information on their
movements and the raid on his planta-
ton followed
The Coco River rises In Neuva Sc
govia, where the rebels have been
active. and flows almost the entire
length of that long northern depart
ment, emptying into The Caribbean Sea
at Cape GraciaS, near the Honduran
border. 1t is a chief route to the In
terror. Formerly there were many
American mahogany camps along the
river. but the disturbances of recent
years have driven away most Of the
mahogany cutters.
Hallway between Sang Sang and Its
mouth the river is joined by the Was
pook River. This stream flows north
east from the Pts Pts mining region,
where rebel raiders recently destroyed
American property. The Ell Dorado
mines, which also were wrecked. are on
the other side of the watershed near
the ileadwaters of the Prinzapolka
River. the treacherous stream which
Marines recently assembled to occupy
the mining district.
A third party. to be known as the
"Autonomist" party, which seeks to ex-
tricate Nicaragua from her present dif-
ficulties, has been formed.
