One o. the saddest results Of wha.
many girls regard - innocent amuse-
ment--strest Airting-that has ever besn
chronicled was reported to the police last
night. The alleged facts, ~ near a. could
b learned, are that some time ago
young girl named Mary BHde, residing
at 468 Twenty .ffth street. became ac-
quainted, through street Irritation, with
"niceAooking young man." who at diff
erent, times gave bis name IS Walter
Reynolds and Walter Dupey. The oou.
pie met sveral times, and last even
log another meeting took place, Mary
beng accompanied by her cousin, Annie
Z. Blide, who resides ct 48 Hanover
street, and the young man having with
bin another young man, whose name Is
not known. They paired on and started
for walk, and alter walking awhile
ride on the lake was proposed. At first
the girls dsmurred, but fuallY consented,
and started out, each occupying sepa
rate skiff. They did not venture out
very far nor get widely separated, and
about Q o'clock were couple OF hundred
yards out opposite the foot of
Twelfth street. At this time Mary
Blide, from whom the informs
ton is obtained, noticed movements in
the boat containing her cousin and escort
that indicated struggle. Annie was
also calling for help, and the man who
was with her appeared to be trying to re
strain her and force her to be quiet. In
q few seconds the boat was capslzed, and
Mary thinks both her cousin and the
young man were drowned, as they were
not seen after the cspsiziDg. Mary's
companion rowed her hastily ashore, and
jumping from the boat ran away. Annie
Blide was about seventeen years Of age,
rather pretty, and the daughter of q
highly respected family.
