SUICIDE OR ACCIDENT?
Young Swedish Girl Disappears
From Orchard Mesa---BeIieved,
to Have jumped in River.

Word was brought to this city this
morning from Orchard Mesa, that it was
supposed that young girl had commit
ted suicide there sometime yesterday
afternoon by jumping into the river.
The girl was OF Swedish nationality
and had accompanied the family OF j.
w. Sampson to this city some little time
ago froul their old home at Fairfield,
Iowa. Yesterday afternoon at about
three o'clock she requested Mrs. Samp-
son to permit her to go out and gather
some flowers. AS she did not return at
the time she stated, about 4:30 o'clock
and did not make an appearance at 5
o'clock. the family became alarmed and
searching parties were organized to mako
hunt for the girl. The search was con-
tinued until two o'clock this morning.
Early this morning the search was re-
newed and it was found, at a point a
point short distance above the Smith
pumping plant, where the girl had Close
ly skirted the shale rock along the banks
OF the river, and where she had evident
ly taken a leap into the waters Of the
Grand river.
The searching party found more ac-
curate traces Of ths path taken by the
girl, in their scar ch this morning. She
went down an old aroya or wash, which
formerly had been used somewhat as a
road. From points on this aroya it
could be seen where she had jumped
down the declivity and landed at differ
ent points. But where she finally landed
at the river side there was place where
she could have saved herself, as there
was sufficient ground to walk or stand
up.
One theory is that, knowing the Hunt
family we'll, the head of which acts as
pumpman for the Smith brothers, she
might have started for their home, and
in scaling the banks lost her footing aod
gone into the river.
The young girls name was Olga Leaf
green, and she was just seventeen years
Of age. For five years before coming
here from Fairfield, Iowa, she was in the
employ of Mrs. Sampson's mother.
MIR. and Mrs. Sampson both stated to
DR.. F. r. Smith this morning, who is
quite intimate with the family, that they
knew Of no reason why the girl should
commit suicide. She was not discon-
tented or unhappy, in fact she liked this
country very much and was OF decided.
ly sunny temperament.
The Sampson family reside on the
Oldroyd place.
This morning searching parties came
to the city for dynamite to lombard
across the river, to bring the body to the
surface OF tho stream il possible.

How it Will Go.

The San Francisco Examiner Of Sun
day, June 8. had the following concern
ing the disposal Of the estate Of Hugh
Tevis:
"Many surmises have been made as to
what amount OF the big Tevis estate will
fall to the young widow. M. F. Micheal,
the dead millionaire's attorney, has in
his possession the will which Mr.. Tevis
made shortly after his marriage to Miss
Baxter, but naturally, no details OF its
contents are given out.
at is presumed that his little daugh-
ter by the fret wife will receive half Of
the estate and the widow the remaining
half. Before he left Monterey for Japan
he decided his beautiful Monterey prop
erty outright to his bride, and that is the
only definite knowledge to be had in re-
gard to his individual estate"
