IIOQUIAM, Wash., June 23. The case brought against Beardsley Bros., Aber deen undertakers, by Mr. Wright, for the improper burial of his infant child, was decided in the Superior Court, at Montesano, yesterday, the jury returning a verdict for Wright of $2500. It seems that the undertakers were asked to give it cheap burial, which they did, charging $10 for their services. When the mother was able to go to the cemetery to seek the grave of her child, they could not point it out to her. She and her husband then became suspicious, and even thought it possible that the body had been turned over to medical students. The services of another undertaker were then called for, who found the child's corpse interred on top of another coffin in land owned by the defendants. Bcardaleys say that they gave the case as much atention as they were paid for, and say that the suit was instigated by business rivals.
