ing which can only be given by

evening was the "Out Of the Deep"

shows culture and deep study. The

Frank Jones c'Si Perkins') has
a valuable piece of theatrical pro-

written to fit the peculiar and in

EATEN BY CATS.
An Aged Woman Found Dead In
Her Hut This Morning.


Her Hut This Morning.
A woman who had been dead
since last Wednesday, was found in
a hut on Colorado street, near the
AlaZan creek this morning. She
was known as Frau Pfeiffer and
was abont seventy years Of age.
The first intimation of her death
was received at police headquar-
ters about nine o'clock this morning.
A dairyman named Dew all, of
whom she was a customer, on
making his daily round this morn
ing noticed that the milk he de-
livered yesterday had not been
taken away. He knocked at the
door, which was locked, but re-
ceived no answer. He became sus-
picious and notified the police.
Mounted Officer Beck Immediately
proceeded to the place, and on ar
irving there, opened the door
and found the body of an
old woman lying on the floor, cold
and stiff. He returned to the po-
lice station and Coroner Devine
was notified. The patrol wagon
was brought into use and a party,
consisting Of Coroner Devine, De-
tective Bowen, and LIGHT repre-
sentative, were taken to the place,
followed on bicycle by Under
taker Langsford.
Officer Beck opened the door and
showed the coroner where the body
lay. The latter went to the body,
which was lying on the right side,
and turned 1t over, and most horri-
BILE sight Was presented. The dead
WOman's face was eaten. evidently
by cats, for there were a number OF
those about the place, and her nose
was entirely knawed off. The scent
was most sickening one. The
body was found between a table
and an old-fashioned bed, and was
carried to the middle of the floor by
Coroner Devine and Undertaken
Langsford.
Frau" Pfeiffer had lived here
many years and is said to have nc
relatives. She lived in a dilapi
dated little hut of three
small rooms, located on a piece
of land owned by Adams q WickeS
She was dependent upon the cOun
ty for support, and evidently also
sold eggs for living, as seVera,
dozen were found in large box in
the room.
A Mexican woman, who lives
near by, said that Mrs. Pfeiffel
complained of several pains in the
chest the past week, and it is be
lieved she was afflicted with heart
trouble. 1t is not believed thai
she had any money and no fou
play is suspected.
Dairyman DeWaal also gave hel
a double-measure of milk and the
neighbors and those who knew he
were always charitable toward her
