PROBABLY MURDER,
The Manalod Body ol a Baby Found in a
Shenandoah Creek.
A report was circulated in Shenan
doah, Saturday morning that the mu
filated remains of an infant had been
found in the creek near Indian Ridge
colliery, but the authorities failed to
find any trace of the body. The re
port was based upon the story told by
a resident of the vicinity, who said
that shortly after ten o'clock Friday
night he saw a woman throw a pack
age into the creeJr and then hurry
away. Upon being informed of the
occurrence several people went to the
creek, and, with the aid of a miner s
lamp, discovered a pasteboard shoe
box containing the mutilated remains
of an apparently new born child
No one cared to take charge of the
body and it was decided to leave it
until Saturday morning, when the au
thonties should be informed. It is
supposed the remains were either
washed down the creek or that some
body removed them.
Further inquiry
and investigation has failed to reveal
a clue to the child or to tne parents

Growing
Children
One-third of all the children
die before they are five years
old. Most of them die of some
wasting; disease. They erow
very slowly keep thin in flesh ;
are fretful j food does not do
them much good. You can't
say they have any disease, yet
they never prosper. A slight
cold, or some stomach and
bowel trouble takes them away
easily.
SCOTT'S EMULSION of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos
phttes is just the remedy for
growing children. It makes
hard fleshi sound flesh; not
soft, flabby tat. xt maites
strong bones, healthy nerves.
It changes poor children to
children rich in prosperity.
