Body Recovered
The body of Sigfrid Nelson, the 9-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Kmite
Nelson, who was drowned Friday,
was recovered yesterday near tne
place where his boy companions ex
plained he had fallen overboard
from the bulkhead surrounding the
mill of the Tongue Point Lumber
Company. It seems that young Nel
son bad fallen overboard while, at
play with two other little fellows,
who were so frightened at the acci
dent that they ran home without say
ing anything about it, until after they
were questioned by the boy's mother
after he had been missing for some
and and she had become seriously
alarmed. The arrangements for the
funeral have as yet not been completed.

An Ugly Rumor
Yesterday evening there was an
ugly rumor circulating about the
city to the effect that a suit-case had
been discovered under one of the
lower district saloons, and containing
the slashed and bloody remains of a
murdered human. The whole yarn
was fairly dripping with gore and
was, as usual with such tales, entirely
improbable. The matter was evident
ly believed . by its sponsors, because
they took it to the office of Police
Chief Gammal, who, to satisfy the
people making the presentment, de
tailed Officers Linville and Thomp
son, to investigate the matter and
report. This was done;. and the only
substance to the story was that the
men who discovered the grip (de
voted friends of young Conrad An
dcr, who has been missing for nearly
two weeks), found a blood-stained
canavs grip beneath the saloon of the
"Big Swede" on the north side of As
tor street. There was nothing in it,
ana it was instant v recncmiA k
Officer Linville as a grip that had
been in the saloon (now closed) when
some months ago a man was shot in
the arm there and had allowed the
blood to drip atf over the thing, which
was cast out as rubbish when the sa
loon was closed up.
