WHO SHE Is.
Something OF a Rather Strange History.

Especial to the Kennebee Journal
GARDINER, April ls.
Shortly after six o'clock this evening Mar
shal Norton received ssdispatch saying that
Ida Stevens had been shot in Portland by q
man named Chase from New York, and in
stantly killed. The Marshal was informed that
her residence was stated as Gardiner and was
requested to ascertain and send information
of any such parsonage. Marshal Norton
made inquiries and Immediately placed her
as the daughter of ex-Mayor Ladd Of Gardi-
ner. She married q man named Stevens
who is engaged in the sin ware business and
has carts which he sends through the coun-
try. She separated from Stevens several
months ago and for some time has been in COM
pany with this Chase who is said to be
drummer. Last Monday she left for Bruns-
wick where she was to meet him and after
wards went to Portland. 1t is not known
whether they were married or not, but the
probabilities are they were not, though it is
reported that soon after the shooting he
gave her name to an officer as Ida Chase.
not Stevens. Chase came here awhile ago
and boarded in the family, with Ida Stevens
and there made her acquaintance. 1t was q
very sad announcement that the Marshal
made to Ida's brother who was out to
friends spending the evening, and who went
home to break the news TO the parents. The
awful crime has produced very deep i'm
preston on the whole city.
