( Special. ) The strange disappearance of Fred A. Young , who was drowned In Salt creek near this city last Saturday afternoon , has been ex plained Ju t when the theory had been ad vanced that ho was not drowned at all , However , this was not supported by the facts In the case and the friends of the missing man all pronounced the suggestion absurd. Since the disappearance of the man was first rcDortcd Sunday afternoon men have been searchlne for his body In the creek nlcht and day and the stream has been dragged lor several miles. Salt creek Is a narrow and windlne stream , full of snags and fallen branches , and the only probable explanation for the mysterious disappear ance Is that the body had become fastened to one of these Invisible obstructions. Every precaution was taken to prevent the body from floating down the stream. The body of Young was'found late this afternoon partly submerged In water and badly decomposed. The corpse hod floated dcrwn the creek about half a mile. No In quest will bo held over the remains and burlel will > bo held tomorrow morning. Dnttcry A Gocn Into Cnm p.

"All of the primary districts were glad to reorganize no as to receive an Income for pupils from other districts and 1 don't believe there has been another school law enacted for a number of years that has been anything llko as popular , " said Superin tendent Jackson In Breaking of the reorgan ization that had taken place In nearly al" of the districts.
