was found mutilated on Camp Kear-
ney Mesa near here today by a goat
herder.
The body of the child was wrapped
in burlap sack. A few feet away
from the body, Deputy Sheriff Blake
Mason found some library books
carried by the girl when she left
her home for school and never was
seen again.
A coat was also found near the
spot and identified as that worn by
the child.
Deputy sheriffs said that there
was no doubt but that the girl was
the victim of fiendish murder.

Hickman.
! A goat herder named George
Moses came to San Diego about noon
! and told the sheriff he had found a
! body in a desolate section of the
mesa. The goat herder was not

When Deputy Sheriff Mason and
several men reached the spot, about
10 miles from San Diego and five
miles from the home of John Brooks,
the victim IS father, they found the
mutilated body as Moses had de-
Scribed it.
The body had been mutilated.
Mason found that the head had
been severed and that an apparent
deliberate attempt had been made
TO obliterate the childs features.

deputy said, except by means of
the coat and books.

thoroughly combed by deputy sher-
ifs this afternoon, hunting further

John Brooks, father of Virginia,
led searchers here and in Arizona.
There was no trace of the child to
reward their efforts.
Hundreds of Boy Scouts aided

she saw Virginia playing with them
near a culvert through which a
stream ran at higher than its US

We have thousands Of trained men
over there, working to show them
how to work with different ma
chimes. Now when they learn that
they wont leave us any corner on it,
for No nation has a monopoly on
brains. The thing sure is worth
watching for just the idea of every
body working and producing some
thing is going to have colossal eff
fects.
Look at what we produce, and
there is only about one third Of us
producing anything. The two thirds
are living off the one third, and
then we got more than we can sell
So just imagine what price they
will be able to sell stuff for. No,
you cant laugh EN- off, they sure
got some weird ideas, and things
that a people like ours would never
in the world tolerate. But they
have got some ideas that If carried
out properly is bound to make the
world do some changing in this un-
equal division Of wealth.
For that's whats the matter with
us. No Country ever had more, and
no country ever had less. Ten men
in our Country could buy the
World, and ten million cant buy
enough to eat. So the salvation OF
all that might come out Of these
Cuckoo Russians. If 1t does, it will
have paid for itself whether the
whole five year plan works or not
So we amt going to get nowhere
cussing EN-. We better watch EN-
and if they got anything any good
why cop onto it, and maby we car
feed everybody.
