Aged Man Who Disappeared
Succumbs In Lonely Spot
Body Is Decomposed Almost Beyond Recognition No
Marks of Violence To Indicate Foul Play Believe
He Wandered Away and Became 111.
Decomposed almost beyond recog
nition, the body of C W. Menden
hall, aged retired farmer, who wan
dered away from his home, 4224
Cuming street, March 26, was found
Thursday afternoon in a deep ra
vine two miles northeast of jFlor
ence. The body was identified at the
undertaking establishment of Stack
& Falconer, 3224 Farnam street, by
Clay Mendenhall, a son yesterday
morning. A scarb'n the'left hip and
the clothing convinced the son that
the tyady was that of his parent.
There were no marks of violence
to indicate foul play. It is the be
lief of Mr. Mendenhall that his
father wandered away from home,
was seized by an attack of illness
and perished alone in the lonely ra
vine. The body was seen first by Wil
liam Rose and his wife, who were
picking wild flowers when they
were unexpectedly confronted by
the grewsome sight. They drove to
a cafe conducted by Mrs. J. Norton
in Florence and told her what they
had seen. Before Mrs. Norton ob
tained from the man and woman a
definite idea of the location of the
body, the couple are said to have
driven off in their automobile.
A detail of policemen spent the
night searching and early yesterday
morning came upon the body. It was
taken to the undertaking estab
lishment and later identified.
The entire face had been eaten
away by insects, and all that re
mained of the face were the eye
lashes. County authorities made a vain
search for the body Thursday night
after funding had been reported.
Yesterday morning William Rose
accompanied M. F. Dempsey, local
investigator, for Douglas county, and
detectives to the ravine.
The body of Mendenhall was
C. W. Mendenhall
found beneath some brushwood.
The stench was, permeating.
It has not been determined
whether an inquest would be held.
The children of Mr. Mendenhall
asked the county court Thursday to
appoint a custodian to care for his
large property interests.
He owned several farms in Iowa,
besides four houses in Omaha and
money in the bank.
He is survived by his widow and
two children, Clay Mendenhall and
Mrs. Dr. DeLenne of Omaha.

Followed Her, and Now She Says She Has Been

Emily's smiling countenance and
winning ways, at Seventeenth and
Douglas streets, he followed her.

lice station, where he was escorted
somewhat further.
Ten days ago Miss Ariel reported
to 'police that a negro snatched a
purse from her at Twenty-fourth
and St. Mary's avenue, just after
she had stepped from a street car.
The purse contained $25, all the
girl had, she said.
Her complaints to the police yes
terday against Rose Lynch and
Zella Churchwell, waitresses at the
restaurant where Miss Ariel is em
ployed, were for petty larceny and
assault and battery. Both girls were
discharged on the larceny com
plaint Rose Lynch was fined $5
tor striking the dazzling Miss
Ariel in a fight that occurred be
tween them.
"I'll tell you, judge, no one can
fool with me,'V the plaintiff said.
"When anyone does me wrong, they
get a receipt for it
Miss Ariel told a story of a
broken stage career. She says her
home is in New York. She left
there with a troupe on the Orpheum
circuit and was stranded in Omaha
during Christmas week when she
pwas taken down with influenza.
Since her recovery, she said she had
been trying to earn enough money
to return to her folks in New York,

No Medicine-Chest
Without
Its Family Laxative
From the baby to the grandparents a good laxative is the
necessary medicine in the little ills. It wards off serious
sickness and saves doctor's bills. Many a cold has been pre
vented from running into grippe and pneumonia by its timely
use.
Many a racking headache has been quickly dispelled by H.
And it is a laxative rather than a drastic cathartic or purgative
that should beHn every family medicine-chest, for a laxative
can be used at all ages.
Thousands of good American families have for more than
a quarter century used a combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. It is a laxative-tonic that acts on the bowels and
stomach. Infants take it with perfect safety, and it is equally
effective for grownups.
Grandparents are now seeing their children give ft to their
babies. Jt is excellent for all the family in constipation no
matter how chronic indigestion, wind colic, biliousness,
headache, dyspepsia and similar ills.
Thm druggist will refund your -money it it faia
to do as promised.
