The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-11-20

She was accompanied, Mr.. HolZSeid
says, by an athletic appearing man OF
between forty and forty-fve years OF
age, with iron gray hair and a shortly
cropped moustache of the same color.
The woman, according to the saloon
keeper wore q short duck skirt, very
like the one found on the corpse, light
shirt waist, black stockings and low
laced shoes, also corresponding to the
same articles worn by the dead woman.
In the shirt waist, Mr.. Holzseld says,
the woman wore two buttons set with
opals. Two such studs were found on
the body of the dead woman. The but
tons were noticed by the saloonkeeper
because he thought it unusual for a
woman to wear opal buttons. Inc
woman is said to have also worn
marquise ring set with large opal
surrounded with diamonds. Mr.. HOlH-
seid'S ability to recall so accurately the
appearance of this man and woman IS
due to the fact that they frequently
visited his saloon for refreshments.
They would remain sitting at one OF
the tables a considerable length OF
time. he says, and the man occasional
lv addressed the woman as Fanny.
The woman rode a bicycle and fire.
ouently took her wheel into the saloon.
At other times, Mr.. HolZseld says, the
man would sit reading in the little
park near the uepOJ, NIllC IAiC w 49,
rode away on the bicycle or circled
about the park. He says the couple
were at the lake about three weeks, as
near as he can remember, and that the
last time he saw them, both crossed the
Duluth RAILROAD tracks, the woman on
her wheel. and disappeared in north
westerly direction. County Comnls-

Something of a sensation transpired
at the undertaking rooms yesterday
morning, when Mrs. Catherine Welsch
viewed the clothing and remains,
which. she said, would have IN genera

Another clue to the identity OF the

If CenterviIle. He informed the au-
tborities at White Bear lake, after
learning of the finding of. the dead
woman, that about two years ago his
wife left him and started to walk TO
ST. Paul. He thought it possible that
che had died from exposure or might
have wandered to the lonely hillside
and met with some kind of accident,
causing her death.
