weeks standing ended yesterday In the
death of young and pretty st. Paul
girl III Minneapolis hospital. Ali the
circumstances of her absence and her
death are involved in mystery, and the
gravest suspicious at once present
themselves.
Some two years ago Miss Hattie HUB
bard came from Toledo, o., to visit her
sister. Mrs. Andrew j. Bowel, whose
husband is a travelling man for F. J.
Schultz u Co. Deciding to remain In
this city, Miss Hubbard. then but six-
teen years Of age. secured, through her
brother-in-laW, position in the mllli-
merry store of Mrs. B. A. Schultz, Alp
Wabasha. Suddenly, two weeks since,
she disappeared. No trace could be
found. Yesterday morning her sister re-
ceclyed a telegram announcing her
death from peritonitis at hospital in
Minneapolis. Suspicious which had
arisen in her friends minds were not
allayed when the physicians in attend
ance at the hospital refused her sister a
single glance at Hattie'S remains. An
eminent practitioner from this city has
been employed to ascertain the true
cause of death and solve the painful
problem.
Mrs. Bowel, seen at the Barteau, was
too grief-stricken to say much. Hat

suspicious of the doctors actions, and
we will Investigate thor oughly."
IL found her very willing and eff
cient clerk" stated Mrs. Schultz, land
she was pretty girl as well tall,
blonde, and only eighteen last month.
During July she received $40 from her
mother. who requested her to come
back home to Toledo. This money went
into the hands of a relative by mar
rlage. He was handsome young man.
fond of the ladies, and very fond of his
pretty relative by law. He would
often come for her, especially
Saturday nights, and while his wife
was away as she has been until very
recently. A certain one-armed man
was also quite attentive at times. Of
late, Hattie had been very absent
minded and troubled, and had looked
Ill. She had vomited a good deal of
mornings, and complained of tape
worm. which she was going TO Chicago
to have treated. She left without no.
tice, but told the girls that she was ex-
pecting pass and would return well
In two weeks.
The girls in the store gossiped a good
deal about poor Hattie, of course, aud
they didn't believe much in her tape
worm stories. Some of them even re-
ported that, during her vacation last
summer. she went off with maze reias
tive by marriage on trip.
"During her sisters absence Hattie
boarded at Mrs. Z. E. Smiths, IS East
Tenth street She was a very frank
girl, and used to relate certain esca-
pades which she had with a great chum
of hers-how they got fellow to treat
them to a little supper, and how
they took trips to the races.
This chum is thrifty girl,
who is employed in store at Minneap-
oils, and whose parents Ave in St. Paul.
Hattie was very fond of her relative by
marriage, and he seemed Jealous
of all attention that Hattie re-
ceived. He also objected to her chum
"TeeEie," as stated, was really
a bit wild in her actions.
The one armed man would
take Hattie buggy riding, always wait
ing for her up at the corner. however.
A very prominent business man once
sent Hattie telegram saying Sorry I
wasn't there. Come down another
evening" This was accidentally opened
by one OF our boarders. But I'm by far
the most suspicious of that one armed
man."
Young Hattie was much prettier, they
say, though but a few years younger,
than her married sister. The latter has
no children. Her husband was tele-
graphed for, and was expected 10 return
last night.
There are strange reports about the
HOSPITAL treatment of this case. Said
Mrs. Schultz:
''Poor, po0c Hattiel Why, her sister
was told by Some one in the hos
pital that ever since Thursday
the doctors knew she couldn't recover,
but they never sent for her mother In
Ohio or her sister in st. Pau, and last
night the poor thing wanted to sac her
sister SO much. Those doctors just S9ld
her that it was cold, stormy night. and
her sister coldn't very well come over.
They made her wait till morning,an6
in the morning she was dead.''
The hospital i'll Minneapolis men,
toned was visited last night, but the
attendants denied that any such girl had
