UNKNOWN GIRL HANGS SELF
Found Under Illinois Central Brido,
at AckleY.

Found Under Illinois Central Bridge
at Aekley.
Ackley--A young and beautiful un.
known g,rl, well dressed and with
every mark of refinement on her fet.
lures, was found hanging with ropo
around her neck from beam on the
illinois Central bridge, two miles cas-.
Of Ackley. Every mark of identified,
tien had been carefully cut from he,
clothing and hand satchel, which
she had carried with her, had bee :
burned before she leaped into eternity.
Three attempts had evidently been
made BY the unfortunate girl to end
her lie, as the rope had twice been
severed. the broken ends lying on the
ground near by.
The body was found by Henry
Hemb, farmer, about noon, and he
Immediately notified the coroner,
who brought the dead girl here.
Her apparel was of the best and be-
sides the rich clothing there was found
a parcel containing an extra garment
and other clothing. A purse with As
cents was also found. She wore a
small diamond ring.
That the young lady, who appears
TO be about % years OF age, was firmly
resolved to die, was evidenced by the
fact that she tried to procure poison
at three different drug stores. Failing
in this she went to the hardware store
of H. A. Miller and bought about
twelve feet of half inch rope. On her
way to the bridge she stopped at the
farm house Of c. Humpke and in
quired for work, and failing to secure
employment proceeded to her doom.
While the girl may have been disap-
pointed in love affair, an examina-
ton by physicians failed to show she
had been misled. 1t is thought that
she became respondent and resolved
to end her life.
She wore a green velvet hat, a blue
cashmere skirt Of fine texture, seal.
skin jacket and carried grey muff.
rhe ring was small gold band and
contained little diamond in tiffany
setting.
