Waterloo. April 29.-The death OF
beautiful young woman at the Amerl-
can house yesterday has aroused IN
tense indignation against one DR..
Caswell, who claimed to be her hus-
band and who deserted her here lass
November. leaving her penniless
among strangers.
A week ago the young woman gave
birth to strong healthy boy paoy'
and she sacrifices her life that ne
may live. The child was given over
by her, sorrowful tho the task was
to Mrs. L. Schrock. who is connected
with a Home Finding society at OF
tumwa, and the little babe was taken
there a few days ago. The mother has
been failing rapidly during the past
two or three days and death to her
was welcomed as a sweet release, not
only from her bodily sufferings, but
from the anguish she felt over being
Great spouse.
The latter part of last September
DIR" Caswell, who protested to be a
specialist in the treatment and cure OF
catarrh, told the woman who was liy-
ing with him as wife, that he expected
to go to Hudson to spend few days.
but would return again. The woman
thought nothing of the matter, as the
doctor had made other visits before
during their six weeks stay at the
American house, and had returned al
the time he said he would. But when
he left for Hudson it was the last time
the woman has seen him, and she has
heard from him only twice since
She was left without any money and
the only funds sent her was about q
month ago. when DR." Caswell wrote
her from Hannibal, Mo-, enclosing a
check for 81. About six weeks ago she
received letter postmarlsed at Dixon
Ill, but the letter contained no money.
Bearing her grief alone valiantly and
with show of as much fortitude as
possible Cora, for that was her name
asked to work in the kitchen of the
American House and Landlord Libby
kindly permitted her to do the same.
She was modest, unassuming woman
OF more than ordinary common sense,
kind and with display of cheerful
ness that showed what heroine she
was. She worked faithfully until about
six weeks ago. when her place was
taken by another.
While the deceased would talk freely
upon all other subjects. she was reti-
cent about her previous history and
would say little about her folks. 1t was
learned that her parents reside at Prai-
RE du Chen, Wis, that they are French
people and are without means. Her
maiden name. which is believed was
never changed, was Cora V. Cherrier.
Not long ago letter came to her adj
dressed in that manner. Either she
was married and her parents knew
nothing of the marriage, or else she SIM
ply lived with the man who deserted
her rs his companion. She had told
that they had been married about a
year. when they came here.
The remains were taken to Beek's
undertaking establishment yesterday
morning, where they now are. News of
the death has been telegraphed to the
parents at Pairie du Chen, asking what
disposition shall be made of the re-
mains. II they feel too poor to bear the
expense of shipment to that place it
is probable friends here will take up
subscriptions to raise enough money to
pay the expense of the shipment or to
Gefray the expense of burial.
A telegram received at the Beck I'M
dertaking rooms today from DIR" Cas-
we'll states that he will arrive here on
the first train. The body will be held
pending his arrival before final dis
position is made of it.
