AWFUL TRAGEDY NEAR RACINE
Young Man and Woman Partalxe of Poi
and Die Side by Side

son ana DE Side by Side.
Racine, Wis, July "a terrible trar-
edy occurred at point called Cedar Bend
on the Root river, about five miles from
this city, yesterday. A party of pleasure
seekers discovered the bodies of a young
man and woman upon the bank of tbe
river at that place. The bellies We're
identified as those of August Peters. n
spring-maker, aged "a years, and Clara
Christophersen, domestic. aged p years.
A bottle of wine and packages containing
strychnine, cyanide of potash and other
poisons were found close by, Indicating
that the couple had come to their death
by taking the poison. The couple had
been lovers for year past, and Peters
informed friends that they were married
two weeks ago, but proof is at present
lacking to substantiate the statement.
The young man bad purchased the nnison
under fictitious name. Ihe parents of
the dead girl believe that the poison was
given to her in the wine by the young
man, and that she was not aware of it,
and that Peters afterwards took poison.
The surroundings Indicate that she had
died without n struggle, while he had
rolled down a hill into the water and
died in great agony. No cause has yet
been found for the suicide, or murder
and suicide, as many believe to be the
case.
