Arizona Republican-Sept 23, 1904
Baby BERMUDAS
Arizona Republican Newspaper
September 23, 1904

Wednesday evening the four year old girl of Vasquel Bermudas, 
living south of San Johnson's ranch was missing.  The little 
one had not been seen since noon but up to evening no anxiety 
was felt as it was thought the little girl was playing with 
some other children in the neighborhood.  When she did not 
return at dark and no trace of her could be found the first 
though of her parents was the canal.  The family live within 
a few feet of the Tempe canal and the supposition now is that 
while playing there the child fell in and was carried away by 
the water, for at that time there was a fair head running in 
the ditch.

As soon as the alarm was given Zanjero Byron Redden shut off 
the water above where the accident happened and at once a 
party of searchers started out to look for the body.  At noon 
yesterday no trace of it had been found.  By that time all 
the water had ceased running and a party started down the 
Wormser canal and the Great Eastern.  At that time the child 
was supposed to have fallen in the water was running in both 
of these canals.

There is a bare possibility that something else happened to 
the baby and that she did not fall into the canal, if she was 
not found last evening that theory is undoubtedly correct.  
What else could have happened though is a mystery and it may 
be days before it is solved.
