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.

city council of Louisville, Ky. The
taxpayers of Louisville served an in-

court declared the bonds illegal, Pen-

how risky it is to invest in bonds of
doubtful legality issued by a council.

in issuing them when the continued

when he was Secretary of the Treasu-
