A CRUEL DEATH
a
Beautiful Young Girl AS
SauIted and Then
Murdered.
FOUND BY F|ANCE

Wheeling, w. Va, March 23.-As-
saulted, then Choked to death and her
body cast over steep declivity on
Chaline hill within view of her home
and the city, was the fate of beauti-
bul Hulda Schubert, 10 years of age,
daughter of dairyman, Charles
Schubert. The girl left home Monday
to walk down the isolated road from
her fathers dairy to the city, half a
mile distant.
That was the last seen of her.
Today her body was found by her
sweetheart lying rain-soaked and be-
draggled six feet below the road Her
neck was discolored and the marks of
powerful fingers on the white flesh
were easily seen. Later investigation
led the police to believe almost con-
clusively that before death Miss Schu-
bert had been cruelty maltreated. AL
though agreed that the girl was muir
dered, the police and her parents are
unable to suggest a clue to the Grim
inal. She had borne spotless repu-
tation. Her mother and the young
man who found her body are almost
crazed with grief. She was to have
been welded in a short time and her
tragic fate has angered the whole
city. 1t is evident she was murdered
Monday, perhaps by a gang of vag-
rants known to infest the hills.
She has wealthy relatives who have
summoned every detective unemploy-
ed to assist in solving the mystery.

Bennings Race Track, Washington,
March 23.-Thanks to a well-judged
ride by Willie Shaw, who made his
move at exactly the right moment on
the favorite, Toscan, form players
landed heavily on the Bennings spring
handicap, the feature of the opening
day at this track With Rose Ben
scratched Toscan looked the best but
was neglected up to post time going
back in the betting from to to to
1. Just as the horses made their ap-
pearance for the ante-post parade
there was a heavy plunge on Toscan
and the crowd followed the wise"
money and cashed its bets.
When the start was made Right and
True had the early speed, and with
Santa Catalina and Toscan following
close behind cut out merry pace to
the stretch bend Then Shaw made
his move and sent Toscan up winning
under nice hand ride by a scanty
half length from Right and True. The
rest of the card was of poor char
acter and was notable chiefly for the
victory of the thirty-to-one shot Wad-
dell ii.
