Last Friday night the children of Mr. McCormick found the skeleton of an infant under the house. The find scared them badly but they reported it to their parents. A coroner's jury was summoned and a good share of Saturday was spent in trying to discover how the skeleton came there, but with no success. The doctors testified that it had been there several months but no clue was discovered to its identity or parentage. Doubtless a crime has been committed but when and by whom will probably never be known unless some guilty conscience seeks relief by confession. Mr. McCormick has only lived in the house a few weeks, hence could form no better idea of how the remains came there than anyone else.
