Her Parents and Carried.
Child Off With Them

Kalispiel Mich, April 15.-Mathila
Youngqueth long thought to be dead,
heiress to a large estate at Stockholm,
Sweden, has been found living among
Cree Indians as a member of the
tribe A gold ring given her by her
father and mother, who were killed in
a raid by the Crees many years ago,
has established her identity.
When John Anderson. a relative, ap-
peared in this part of Montana a year
ago and made inquiries for a family
named Youngqueth no one could aid
him. Finally he met an old resident
who remembered that. many years ago,
Frank Youngqueth had tried to op-
crate a ranch in the extreme north.
ern part OF the state. near what is now
the Blackfoot reservation. One day the
ranch was raided by Cree Indians.

and carried away their little baby girl,
Mathilda. then four years of age.

Of Crees. She told him she had been
carried away by the Indians after her
father and mother had been killed.
and that since then she had been with
the Indians and was the widow of a
member of the band. who was killed
in a snowslide several weeks ago. She
remembered nothing Of her parents,
she said, except that they were white
like Anderson. All she had left to re-
member them by was a little gold ring.
There was an inscription on the inside
Of this ring but as she could not read
she did not know what it was. Ander.
son read the inscription. which estab-
lished the identity of the owner of the
ornament Il reads: "To Mathilda
from papa and mamma YoungQueth,

MAN s DEAD BODY
FOUND IN BARREL
Throat Cut From Ear to
Ear and Corpse Still
Warm
IDENTITY OF VICTIM UNKNOWN

New York April l5.-A murder was
discovered. according to the police, by
the finding of the body Of a man, ap-
parently an Italian. in a barrel in
East Eleventh street near the docks.
The mans throat was cut from ear
to ear. The body was warm when
found, and the work of ferreting out
the supposed crime was begun at
once by detectives.
A scrub woman noticed the barrel
on the sidewalk, and she saw hanging
on IL a mans coat soaked with blood.
She informed the police. The first
and the only clew found during sew
eral hours search was the letters wv.
T." painted on the bottom of the bar
rel. but the police think these letters
will aid them a good deal in revealing
the mystery.
Il is supposed that somebody in
tended to throw the body into the
river, after bringing it there in a
wagon, but found the pier at East
Eleventh street closed and dropped
the load in the street in a hurry fear
ing discovery.
The well-kept condition of the hands
and nails of the dead man indicated
that he was not a laborer- The police
say that he wore expensive shoes and
may have been in good circumstances.
The police discovered the address No.
/ 366 Third avenue written In pencil
on the bottom of the barrel, and in
the coat pocket OF the dead man a
bit of paper bearing the words in
Italian translated as Come, come in
a hurry" The police believe this was
a part Of a decoy letter
A small perlumed woman's hand
kerchief was found in the barrel.
AS No. 366 Third avenue is a fur
nished room house, the proprietor AL
bert Voecks. was taken 10 the police
station. but said he had never seer
the barrel or the body before. OF 20l
Italians summoned to the police sta
tion. none has been able to identif,
the body.
Coroner's Physician Albert T. Yves
ton. who performed an autopsy on the
/ body OF the murdered man, SAID ina
he had found is additional stat
wounds in the neck. besides the two
deep gashcs that had severed the jugu
lar vein, thereby causing death. The
wounds nowly discovered consisted o
~ on the left side Of the neck and Si,
on the right. Some Of them were
hardly more than scratches, while
others we're from a quarter TO a hal
inch deep. All the wounds were in
fiicted with a dagger.
The physician said that the autopsy
revealed no evidence that there ha'
been a struggle at the time the MAJ
was killed He advanced the theor.
that the man had been held so that h
could not move, while his assailants
in order TO force him 10 tell something
they wanted to know, tortured him b.
making slight wounds in his neck
