GIRL DIES FROM MIXED DRINK.
Paterson, N. j., Excited Over What
May Be Murder Mystery.

New York, April 21.-Another mys-
terry and apparently tragedy some
what similar to the Jennie Boschieter
case is causing much excitement in
and about Paterson.
Mary Eta Shippe, 19 years old, q
silk mill worker. died at Wanaque, 12
miles from Paterson, and her state
ment and the circumstances indicate
that her death resulted from some
thing she drank at road house, while
in the company of young man, whom
she declared she did not know. An
autopsy was performed by the county
physician, but he declines to make any
statement until a chemical examina-
tiOn has been completed.
Miss Shippe was the daughter of a
Well-tOdo farmer, attractive in appear
ance and educated and bore an excel
lent reputation. Her father lives
near Macoupin. During the last year
she had been employed in silk mill
friends of her family there. She went
very little into the society of the vii
lage and passed most OF her leisure
time riding her bicycle over the coun-
try roads
After one of these rides she com.
planned OF illness. and finally on her
deathbed said she had taken drink of
root beer at a roadhouse with young
man, whom she declared she had met
on the road for the first time
There are several rOadhouses in the
vicinity but no degree of questioning
could induce her to tell which place
she visited or anything more about the
identity of the man. She died in
great agony.

BATsoN FOUND GUILTY.
Murderer of Earl Family Must Pay

Murderer of Earl Family Must Pay
Penalty by Hanging.
New Orleans, April 21-A special
from Lake Charles, La says:
The jury in the case of A. E. Batson,
charged with the murder of seven
members Of the Earl family, today
came into court and returned a ver-
dict of guilty as charged. The pen
atty is death by hanging. The verdict
was reached yesterday, but Judge Mil
Ter declined to receive it until today
The delay in reaching it resulted from
the desire OF two of the jurors to quail
ify their finding SO as to send Batson
to the penitentiary for life rather than
to the scaffolI. They finally yielded to
the majority.
B2tson's eyes were filed with tears
when the jurors were polled but he
quickly regained his cOmposure. His
mother, Mrs. Payne. was deeply affect
ed by the result and hundreds of hands
were extended to her in sympathy.
Mrs. Payne will return to Missouri to-
morrow. The attorneys of Batson will
make the usual legal motion for a
new trial and then appeal the case to
the supreme court

Came Near Losing Their Lives.

Raleigh, April 21.-At Kinston a
member of the North Carolina naval
militia nearly lost his life. He took a
1-pounder shell from the auxiliary
cruiser Hornet last week and carried
it home. He cut the shell away from
the metal cartridge case and took the
shell to timer, asking the latter
to see what was in it. The timer
placed the shell in wise and struck
the fuse. The resulting explosion tore
off all the fingers on one of the tin.
ner's hands and cut the naval mill
tiaman's head.

New York, April 21.-The three

miles along the western part Of the

of the inhabitants are building tenn.
