They made every effort to se- cure the body. but having neither rope, boat or any other appliances, they were | unsuccessful, though they say that at one time they could almost reach it. They followed the body for about half | a mile down the canyon, till they came to 2 large eddy,and thinking the body would | remain there for some time they hurried | back to town to get ropes, but when they | returned to the place the body had dis- appeared and has not since been seen Quite a number of men went out from | town and searched along the river until | dark, but their efforts amounted to noth- | ing. 'The parties who saw the body are | not able to say whether it was a white child or an Indian. The face was dark | and badly swollen and bruised, probably from contact with rocks and snags in the | stream. The mystery is deepened by the | fact (hat no child, indlan or white, has | been reported missing. The dress of the | child would indicate that it was not an Indian., The witnesses are highly re- | spectable, and the incident has attracted a great deal of attention.
