CARNEGIE'S JOKEIS !i
3 DIE FROM COLD
dead tonight hanging from a rafter of
the shack which the boys of the neigh
borhood had .built for a playhouse. The
position of the body Indicated that he
had been murdered.
The body was in a kneeling position
with the legs resting on the ground.
The roof was so high that it would
have been difficult for the boy to have
fastened the rope and hanged himself.
For several days. It Is said, the boys
had been quarreling as to. the question
of precedence in the "gang" and finally
it was decided to tear down the little
building. Coming from school this aft
ernoon, the Campbell boy and a young
er companion went to the shack to re
move such parts of it as they had con
tributed. Taking a large piece of tin from the
place, the two boys went to a hill and
coasted for a while. Foster Campbell
returned alone to the shack. That was
the last time he was seen alive by
friends.
Tho boys of the neighborhood deny
any knowledge of the crime.

and this note was upon Mr. Carnegie'

Mr. (arnecie nonchalantly handed him

closed it. Then, while Mr. Woodward
read of the endowment. Mr. Carnegie sat
down at his dk and chuckled fully
five minutes.
Coupled with the formal announce
ment was a declaration by Mr. Carnegie
that the work of the Institution had
leared from blame the captain of

There are several Representatives
pressed for the chairmanship, Henry of

is to let the matter of the selection of the

to believe that It would be advantageous
to have the probable member of each of the

clothing they wore when they went
over the side of the freighter, suffered
Intensely. For hours they battled des

from the. cold. For a time the body
was retained In tho boat but later,
when, there was no Immediate prospect
of reaching land, it was dropped over
