A MYSTERY SOLVED.
The bodies of Edward Parker, eigh
teen years old and Bernice Berck. six
teen years old. were found in I stra .v
stack four miles southwest of St. Paul
at noon Wednesday, a revolver con
taining two exploded cartridges lay
beside the bodies. A bullet had passed
into the right temple of the boy and
the girl.
The two disappeared March 28. The
girl dropped out of sight while on the
way home from church. Her parents
Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Berck. thought she
had been kidnapped and had started
a search for her through the newspa
pers. She was an only daughter.
Parker was a Telephone lineman and
had been going with Miss Berck. The
boy and gir! were very much attached
It was said that Mr. and Mrs. Berck
had objected to Parker's attendance
because of their daughter's youth.
It was supposed for a time that the
couple had eloped. Mr. and Mrs. Berck
scouted this theory because their
daughter was lightly dressed and took
no baggage She had made no prepara
tion whatever to leave home. Both she
ind the young man had money in the
bank at St Paul. Neither drew any
nut and this aroused suspicion that
hev hud met with foul play of some
kind.
From the appearance of the bodies
hey had been dead since very short
' after liter disappearance. The re
mains were brought to St. Paul The
funeral services were held Thursday.

its long winter’s sleep, the reclothing of
the somber fields and forests in be
coming raiment.
EASTER CLOTHES

pulse. They mark the casting off of Winter s cum
bersome restrictions in the matter of dress.
YOUR EASTER SUIT -

should be seasonable in the matter of style but irreproach
able from the standpoint of good taste.
