Tried TO Climb on Raft, which sunk
Bcncnth Them.
Derby Conn, July 15-Annie and
Mary Kinney, sisters, aged "a and Ia
years, respectively, and their cousin,
Ella Kinney, aged 10, were drowned
last night while bathing in the Housa-
tonic river at Lower Derby. The first
two are daughters of Michael Kinney,
a railroad contractor of this place.
Their cousin was visiting them.
The Kinneys have a fine residence,
with spacious grounds running down
to the shore of the river. There was
a small raft tied to the boat landing,
which they released and pushed ahead
of them into the stream when they
went in bathing. Before they realized
it they were beyond their depth, and
all three tried to climb upon the raft
simultaneously. 1t sank below the sur
face under their combined weight. In
their struggles it got away from them,
and they were drowned before help ar
rived.
The Misses Kinney on Thursday
night gave a lawn fete on the grounds
in honor of their cousin, which was the
leading social event of the season.

Mrs: Stetson's Daughter by Former
Husband Claims the Estate.
Chicago, July 15.-Louis G. Hitch
cock, a special agent for New York
insurance company, is sought for by
police officers, in whose hands are
warrants sworn out by Katherine
Hitchcock, who claims to be his wife,
and who changes him with bigamy and
other offenses. Policemen searched
the residence at 2213 North Paulina
street yesterday for Mr.. Hitchcock and
Mrs. Emma Smith, with whom he is
said to have been making his home,
but neither could be found.
Behind the effort to have Hitchcock
arrested is a tangled story, which
comes to the surface as a result of the
litigation over the $2,000,000 estate
left by John Stetson, the Boston mill
lionaire and theatrical manager, who
died three years ago, and the subse-
quent death of his widow, Katie
Stokes, the once famous circus rider
and stage celebrity. Mrs. Katherine
Hitchcock figures in the story as the
daughter of Katie Stokes by a mar
riage previous to that with Stetson.
and consequently claims to be the sole
heir to the fortune.
Mrs. Hitchcock's chief object in seek
| ing to place her husband in the hands
of the police, she says, is to recover
! quit claim deeds to the Stetson estate
to which she alleges her signature was
obtained by Hitchcock through in
! timidatiOn.
When Stetson died he left Mrs
Hitchcocks mother all his property
and ten days later Mrs. Stetson. dice
without making a will. Since that
time, Mrs. Hitchcock says, she has
been harrassed constantly by Other
claimants to the estate who are try
ing to prove she has no legal standing
in the case.
