is held Another arrest. il is reported,
may follow.
The woman's body was removed from
the Clader house last night and taken
to the home Of her step-father at Beth
lehem The police say the body was re-
moved without notice 70 the board Of
health. 1t is said hes face was more
or less bruised. Kunkle was arrested
because he was said to have been with
her when she died.
At the C1ader house inquiries brought
out the information that she died from
natural causes, due to eating three dOZ-
en- spiced Christmas cakes. 1t was also
stated that she was attended by two
physicians. Mrs. Clader said that Kun
kle merely assisted her In administer
ing medicine to her. and also said that
the bruises are due to Mrs. Leiby fall
ing against a bed while weak from her
illness. Coroner Sperror and DR.. A. ].

Became QuarreIsome. Shotgun Was Secured
and Tragedy Followed.

Bachman got hold Of the gun. While
they were struggling for possession OF
the weapon it was discharged. The
load Of coarse shut penetrated East
mant abdomen and caused almost in
slant death. Peterson declares how
ever. that ne did not know anyone was
hurt until after his arrest When the
gun was discharged Bachman released
his hold and Peterson went out into
the yard. reloaded the gun and fired
two shots in the air to attract the at
tention Of the officers. He declares
that John Bachman followed him out
armed with a chair. that he warned
him several times to stop, but that
Bachman kept advancing and he fin
ally fired at his feet.
