Boys Make Grewsome Find

Payette River Casts Up Corpse After Several Weeks—No Clue as to Identity.

Friday evening of last week some small boys swimming in the Payette river near 
the small island just below the Oregon Short Line Railroad bridge discovered 
the body of a child which had been cast upon the island.  The news was brought 
to town by one of the lads and investigation disclosed the fact that the body 
was that of a four or five months old baby girl. It was in a bad state of 
decomposition indicating that it had been exposed to the elements for some 
time.  The body was fully dressed, little woolen undershirt stockings what had 
evidently been a white dress and a coat having a cape which looked as though it 
might have been blue in color.  

Coroner Fred K. Robinson made an investigation of the case Saturday but could 
find no clues as to the identity of the child.  It is thought by some that the 
child might have been drowned far up the Payette river during the early spring 
and was brought down on the high waters.  

The body was interred in the cemetery here (Riverside) and effort will be made 
to find out the identity of the little one.
