FOUND DEAD.
Ghastly Discovery Made in Cellar at
 BarkhamSted

Barkhamsted.
 Winsted, March S.-Coroner Hig- gins is engaged in Investigating q mysterious death which occurred at Barkhamsted yesterday.
 About 4:30 yesterday afternoon Mrs Charles Baker and Mrs Herbert went to the home of Mrs James NJ. Howard to make a call. They smelIed smoke, and after summoning assistance, en- tered the house. where they made a ghastly discovery. They traced the smoke down into the cellar of the house and there found the body of Mrs Howard hanging over the potato bin, burned almost to crisp The woman's head and shoulders were hanging inside the bin, and the lower limbs outside.
 Coroner Higgins was immediately notified and after viewing the body ordered Medical Examiner Swett to make an investigation. Unless the re- port of the medical examiner clears up the mystery, the manner in which Mrs Howard met her death may ney- CT be known.
 The only theory that has been ad- yanced is that Mrs Howard went to the potato bin in the morning, carrying l a kerosene lamp, which exploded. This, however, is only a theory, for a diligent search failed to reveal any trace of a lamp. Another peculiar fact ill connection with the case is that the woodwork of the bin has not been burned Mrs Howard is believed to have been alone throughout the day her husband being away at work at the tobacco sheds of Owen case ar Pine Meadow.

ASKS DAMAGES FOR AUTOPSY.
Mrs Botsford Sues Presbyterian Hos pital for Cutting Up Her Husband.

New York, March S.-Trial of an ac, tion of Mrs Annie Botsford to recover $25,000 damages from the Presbyterian hospital on account of an autopsy made on the head of the remains of her husband, Albert Kent Botsford, without her permission. was concluded before Justice Gildersleeve yesterday in the supreme court The jury will bring in a sealed verdict on Monday morning.
 Botsford had large and peculiarly shaped head. After his death the hos pital authorities, as they allege, on the written consent of F. B. Bromfield. a brother of Mrs Botsford, made the au- topsy on the skull.
 Mrs Botsford explained that she had authorized her brother only to go to the hospital and make arrangements for the funeral.
 Mrs Botsford sued for injury to her feelings. She said she did not know that an autopsy had been performed until she examined her husbands re- mains. Counsel said it was the first case of the kind in this state.

Mr.. T. A. Miller, of St. Thomas, came
over to the county seat with his 81, 100
automobile on Sunday. 1t is very fine
machine, built for four persons, and is of
eight horsepower. 1t can go 80 miles
an hour, but Mr.. M. thinks about Is
miles an hour is plenty fast for him. The
auto is something like horse, after all.
You have to curry" it to the black
smith shop about so often, and feed it
gasoline instead of oats and hay; you
have to lead horse to water, and lead
the auto when it rains-and sometimes
at other times. On the whole, an auto
is much better than a horse-when it
goes-but when the horse stops you can
use the whip. When the auto stops. the
driver finds two wrenches-one to his
feelings, and the other just common.
everyday monkey-wrench in the tool
box, with which he screws up the var
lous loose nuts, etc. The work done by
the other wrench-is too wicked for
these columns. No! Mr.. Miller didn't
give US ride on his auto-as he ought
to have done.

ket impossible at the evening game. Miss

throws, gave the Pembina team 6, while
