MYSTERIOUS MURDER

her about six weeks ago. She was rec
commended by Mrs. Watson, and had
proved god girl She was only 16 years
Of age. and very timid While she had
been working for Mrs. Stoll she had
never mentioned having any male
friends, and 80 far as is known never
received any notes or letters. When she
left the house on Sunday it was with the
expectation Of returning, as she had in
Quired particularly as to what time she
must get back. She left her purse, con-
tanning several dollars, in her room.
Beyond this Mrs Stoll knew absolutely
nothing.
The detectives stated last night that
they had no idea as to who could have
been guilty of dealing foully with the
girl The question that they are trying
to solve is, who was the young man seen
with Alice Winters at Santa Monica by
William Steffey, and how did they hap
pen to be there together? The street
car conductor who sold the girl ticket
cannot recall having noticed her. The
fact that she purchased a round-trip
ticket, one end Of which was found in
her pocket when the body was recov-
cred, shows that she expected to return
when she left this city.
HER LAST MOVEMENTS
If Alice Winters took a Maple-avenue
car Immediately after she left the Stoll
residence at 2:30 o'clock she would have
arrived at the Santa Monica station a
few minutes before the car left and have
reached Santa Monica about o'clock
Half an hour later she inquired at a
fruit stand for the time at which the car
would leave for Los Angelse. She still
evidently intended to return.
1t is supposed that her body was thrown
into the water in the neighborhood of
Ocean park. The tide, which sets to
the west, would carry the body to the
place where it was found in the surf
east of the Arcadia hotel.

The Cruel Death of Alice
Winters
WHO WAS THE YOUNG MAN?
WITH WHOM SHE WAS LAST
SEEN ALIVE
ne Clue to the Killing Of the Young
Girl Found Drowned at
Santa Monica

The identity Of the woman. whose body
was washed ashore at Santa Monica
last Thursday, has been established.
Her name is Alice Winters. For six
weeks previous to the hour of her mys-
terious disappearance she was employ ed
in the family of H. w. Stoll, proprietor
Of the Los Angeles soda works, at $40
East Twenty-third street.
Last Sunday Alice Winters asked per-
mission to visit Mrs Helen A.Wateon,
at 920 Bartlett street. Mrs. Watson is
superintendent of the Children's home,
at 2150 Glowner street, and formerly
had the girl in charge. The girl left tn ?
Stoll residence at 2:30 p. m, but did not
go, as she had stated to Mrs Watson's $
home Instead, she went to Santa Mon
lea. She was seen there at about 4:30
.. m. by William Steffey, who keeps A
fruit stand at the corner of Utah street
and Ocean avenue. She came into his
place and asked what time the train.
would leave for Los Angeles She was
walking with a young man at the time.
The latter stepped few feet beyond
The herald., 1897-10-10

the girl when she came into the fruit
stand, and turned his back to- Staffey
until the woman came out. Then they
walked away together. Steffey noticed
the couple very particularly and is pos
tive that he could identify the man.
That is the last seen of Alice Winters
alive, so far as can be learned.
SIGNS OF FOUL PLAY
The officers no longer entertain any
doubt that the girl was murdered. When
a post mortem examination of the body
was made a confusion was found on the
forehead just above the line of the eyes,
which looked as if heavy blow had been
dealt. Beneath the eyes the face was
swollen, and the right arm was black
ened.
When Alice Winters left to go to the
Watson home she told Mrs. Stoll that
che would return a. o'clock. She seemed
in a great hurry to get away, and it was
supposed that she intended meeting
someone, although the girl said nothing
about 1T. She left the house ON a run
and went over to the Maple avenue car
line. That evening she did not return
and the following day passed without
anything being heard from her Mrs
Stoll did not become uneasy at her alb
sence, but spposed that the girl had
simply got tired of the place and de-
cided to stay with Mrs Watson
IDENTIFIED
Last Friday she sent word to Mrs.
Watson that she wo-ld like Alice Win
ters to call for her things if she was no:
coming back. Mrs. Watson was very
much surprised to learn that the girl
had been absent She knew her habits
well, having kept the girl in her own
house a great deal. Without delay she
visited Mrs. Stoll and learned that Alice
left on Sunday. She was puzzled to
know what could have become of her
and returned home very much worried
Yesterday morning, when Mrs Stoll read
the account in the papers of the finding
of a woman's body a. Santa Monica
which had been washed ashore, she al
cnce suspected that it was the missing
Alice Winters. She took the, o'clock
car for Santa Monica and went directly
to the undertaking parlors where the
body lay. She did not go inside to view
the corpse, but had some OF the clothing
brought out She at once identified this
as the same which sine had purchased
for the girl
DETECTIVES IN THE DARK
Mrs. Watson was unable to give any
information which might prove clue for
the officers to work upon. Marshal Dex-
ter talked with her. and then came to
this city, where he conferred with De-
tectives Hawley and Auble. In company
with Coroner Campbell, the officers Wis
tied the Stoll residence last night Mrs
6toll said that Alice Winters came to

on his beardless face? And. had Alice
Winters planned to meet this young
man before she left ostensibly for visit
to Mrs. Watson's or did she fall in with
him by accident? How did they happen
to be together at Santa Monica, and
where did they go after inquiring the
time for the next train to leave for Los
Angeles? Thus far no motive has been
advanced for the murder Of the girl,
and the mystery surrounding her
strange death seems insoluble.
SUICIDE IMPROBABLE
When seen yesterday at her home,
Mrs. Watson was very much distre ssed
She has known the unfortunate girl for
eight years and has had charge of her
as guardian during that time. Il am
certain that the girl met with foul
play" said Mrs. Watson "She would
never commit suicide. She was not that
kind Of a girl. No, she was murdered.
do not have a theory as to who her
murderer could be. 1t seems impossible
to suspect anyone Of such an awful
crime. I never knew that she ever had
an enemy in the world. I can't under
stand how Alice ever happened to go to
girl and never gave me the least trou-
BILE. I don't understand it at ALL" anG
Mrs. Watson almost broke down as she
talked.
The last time that she saw Alice was
on Tuesday, a week ago That after
noon the girl came over to the Children's $
home Mrs. Watson asked her why she
had not been. to see her, saying that she
Wished she would come oftener. Alice
promised to come the following Sunday.
which was the same day that she saw
her death.
THE GIRLS HISTORY
The mother of Alice Winters was di-
vorced from her husband in Minneap-
olis and moved to Los Angeles eight
years ago. She purchased a lodging
house near the site of the present Santa
Fe depot. A gambler named Charley
Davis came to the house to stay and
soon afterward he ard Mrs. Winters
were living together as man and Wife
He proved to be veritable scoundrel,
ard after squandering what money Mrs
Writers had became very abusive to
! both the woman and her little daughter.
AS result of his treatmeSt Mrs Win

mitted to the insane asylum. She was
placed in the county Jail to await re-
moval TO the asylum. In some way she
obtained vial Of arsenic and comitted
suicide. Davis continued to keep the

KILLED BY THE CARS
The Untimely Death of a Covina
Rancher

Shortly after dark last night the body
of well-appearing man, believed to be
that of I. L. Shirley prosperous
rancher residing near Covina, was
found on the Santa Fe railroad near the
Cudahy Packing house. There is little
known Of the accident, but it is thought
the incoming passenger train from San
Bernardino must have struck him. The
lower limbs were almost severed from
the body; besides, there were bruises on
the right side. On his person was
found piece Of paper on which was
written 7. L. Shirley. Among the other
effects was toy fiat iron, return ticket
to Covina on the Southern Pacific and
sack Of candy. Deceased was dressed
in dark suit, linen shirt, and, had a red
handkerchief. An inquest will be held
this morning.

and was appointed her guardian. The
girl was taken away from school and
placed in the home, Davis raising no fur

Two years ago Alice left the home 10

CARR IN K

A herd Of good dairy COWS deserves
to have good care, and this can only
be insured by having the right kind of
attendants. If the owner is unable to
either attend the COWS himself or give
the matter personal supervision twice
q day or more, it is to his interest and
profit to be certain that his employees
are trustworthy and ft to be COW
keepers, Everyone should be quiet,
even-tempered, gentle, and regular and

its forms is obnoxious to every depart

the herd should be done with the ut

will all be sweated off at night and the
flock will remain stunted and ill-con-
ditioned. The problem of growing
chicks successfully is simply to keep
up this growth from hatch until ma
turity. Examine your chicks there

est or those which do not seem as heal
thy and hardy as the others.
A morning mash is quite as impor-
tant for chicks as for fowls. Many
necessary ingredients Ear be mixed in
this mash which otherwise it would be
almost impossible to feed. A mixture
of a variety of grains may constitute
the feed for the rest Of the day, and
will keep your young flock exercising,
provided you spread your feed far and
wide and do not throw it all down in a
heap. Remember it is not the idea for
your chicks to gorge themelves and
fill their crops at once, but rather to
hunt and scratch and pick, and thus
gradually during the whole day to fill
their crops that they may rest content
ed and happy at night.

HOW THE PROFIT IS SECURED

A noted New York dRiryman be
lieves there is to day more actual prof
it in making milk at 24 cents a quart
than when 4 cents was the rule, says
that veteran dairy authority, Mr.. A.
w. Cheever, in the New England
Farmer. The man with a si1o, bran at
50 per ton, gluten feed $11, and other
feeds in proportion, and a cow that
will give 5000 pounds of milk in the
year, was eve doing so well as now.
Everything he buys is eqnally low,
with the closest competition every
where, to make things yet cheaper.
The fall in the price Of milk is only q
possible fourth. Here is a matter of
thought. Many a man., while increas
ing the power of his dairy, had de-
creased the cost of their keep fully so
per can't. The whole matter is some
thing like this: Too many COW giving
3 900 pounds of milk in year, costing
too much to keep them, and wasting
too much food by not understanding
the elements needed, and their proper
ton, and q great loss in fertility at the
stables. It's the cutting off of expe1-
ses, stopping avoidable losses, and util
izing residues Of the farm better, that
is to work a great reform, and to 10, 600
farmers, it would benefit them more
than a rise of cent ona uart for milk,
though the rise would, no doubt, be &C.
ceptable.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1897-07-13

the first requisites in good milking.
Next, quiet and g~entleness should be
accompanied by quickness. Two milk
ers, one rapid and one slow (the COW
being accustomed to both) will get
about the same quantity of milk in
any given number of days, but the
former will get the more fat. The
quicker the milking, the richer the
milk, if the work is done we'll and
completely, the difference may not be
great, but it is measurable in butter
or money. Again, two men milking
like quantities in like time, from the
same COWS or animals giving milk
usually just alike, will get different
results as to richness, and if they
change places the richer milk is secured
by the same man. The milk fat or but
ter fat comes from the COW, but it ia
the expert mixer that gets the most of
it. There seems to be an underlined
and yet c~onclusively proved relation
between some mixers and the COWS
they handle which produces this re
suit. It is certain that change of milk
ers, manner of time of milking, irreg-
ularity, or any disturbance at milking
time may be expected to cause loss Of
butter fat in the milk. In short, it pays
and pays well, to have milking donein
the very best way, by the very best
mixers that q be found. A superb.
or mixer should be appreciated and
retained as persistently as a superior
COW the former is the more difficult to
replace. A very good practice, altho'
uncommon, is to take every COW to q
particular place to be pailked, apart
from where she usually stands; this to
be a clean and airy place like an open
shed. The milking shed or room be
ing kept sc~rupulously clean, with free
movement of pure air, there is an al
most certain exemption from what are
called animal odors" in milk but
which really are stable odors or odors
from the mixer. 1t may be stated as
a fact, and should always be remem-
bered, that milk as it comes from the
healthy COW is perfectly pure. 1t has
by nature no unpleasant taste or smell
Except an occasional result of peculiar
tood) and all those odors and favors
which are so Objectionable get into the
milk after it is drawn from the udder
OF the cow.-Henry E. Alvord in Farm
er's Bulletin.
