Finds a Dead Child in a Backet, What appears to be a case of infan- ticide was discovered near Bellefonte on Saturday. Several little boys were out fishing, and while walking along the stream they noticed a tin bucket floating along with the current. With boyish curiosity they succeeded in se- curing the bucket with a stick, and when they opened it they were horri- fied to find that it contained a dead child. The boys immediately informed their parents of whai they had found and an investigation was made. The child was fully developed and had evi- dently been dead only a few days. One Way to be Mappy.
