Body Of Woman Found Near
HilIborOugh Bridge, N H.
SHE LEFT A SHORT NOTE
Was Seen Entering the Woods About
Week Ago and Probably She
Wished to Die All
Alone.

Hillsborongh Bridge, N. H., May 26.
The body Of woman was found yes
terday afternoon in the woods about
two miles from here On the edge Of
Deering BY George Livingston, and all
though the name of the woman was
asccrtained by q note pinned to her
clothing, she was 4 stranger and as yet
no one has appeared who knew her.
The note found on the body said:
II have no relatives IN this country.
Katherine Lester. That WAS all that
could be found which would in any
way give the woman's identity.
She was about 45 or 80 years OF age,
neatly dressed and Of good appearance.
There was not mark upon the body
that would indicate in any way she
had met with foul play, and from all
appearances the woman knew she was
for that purpose She lay under a big
tree and was curled up as II she had
lain down there and gone to sleep.
About week ago AIR. Livingston saw
woman enter the woods not very
far from where the wonan's body was
found, but at the time thought it was
someone going to pick flowers, and SO
did not trouble to follow her. Undoubt-
edly the body il that Of the woman
who Mr.. Livingston saw enter the woods
and if il is she had been dead about
q week.
Without doubt the woman was home
sick or discouraged, and feeling that
she was going to die wanted TO do SO
alone and not to be surrounded by stran-
gers.
The body was removed to the under
taking rooms of Fl. b. Cnrrier, and to-
day County Solicitor Edward II. Wason
will hold an inquest. He had been noti-
fed by Undertaken Carrier of the dis
eovery.
Where the body was discovered by
Mr.. Livingston it is about three miles
from Deering, and last evening Mr.. Cur
rier talked with the town officials in
that place, but as far as could be learn
ed they knew no person By that name
or answering the description.

BEEF TRUST FEARS INQUIRY.
Evidently Alarmed by Plans Of Admins
tratiou.

Washington, May 26. Alarmed ai the
evident intention Of the Administration
to begin crusade against the beef
packing interests OF the country steps
are being taken to swerve the President
from his purpose, il possible. knowing
they have no standing with the Admin
istration after the long battle in the
courts in chicago and the defeat of the
Government it becomes apparent that
the big beef trust magnates propose to
work their ends through the cattlemen.
1t has long been recognized that when
the assaults are made on the beef trust
corporation either the cattle producers
u the meat consumer is obliged TO bear
the brunt Of the resulting disturbance
pf trade conditions, and now it seems
no exception is to he made TO this rule.
Prices have been depressed for live
stock, end the beef packers have told
the cattlemen that this has been due to
the falling off in the demand for the
product and TO reduced production Of the
big packing concerns.

Why Hazen Tyler Should So Suddenly
Disappear

Burlington, May 20 Where Is Hazen
Tyler That is the question. G. G..
Bliss. who conducts dairy farm in
South Burlington, is asking. Mr., Tyler
had been employed by Mr.. Bliss for
over six weeks and had always proved
a most efficient farm hand. but last
Sunday he suddenly disappeared Ieay
ing no trace Of his whereabouts. He
drove the milk wagon to this city in
the morning as usual, returned the team
to the barn, donned his Sunday clothes
and left the house without seeing any
of the occupants.
There is no apparent cause for his
leaving the farm for his accounts are
all straight and sum Of money due
him for salary il waiting him. He
is of medium height with light hair
and eyes. He formerly resided in West
ford and his friends think that perhaps
lie returned TO that town.

There is considerable speculation as
to what use will be made of the Sec
ond ard third floors OF the new
Groves Miller block ON Wenathee ave.
nue. south. Mr.. Groves states that no
definitesplans nave been made but it is
confidently stated by others that they
will be fitted up for hotel. The
building, which will occupy ground
srace of I00x120 feet would furnish
ample room for q hotel in the upper
stories and it is admirably situated for
this purpose. 1t is believed that the
matter hinges only on obtaining q
suitable tenant. Messrs. Groves and
Miller have taken an option on the
two corner lots adjoining the proposed
building for $1,000 and if suitable ten.
ants an be obtained for the stor rooms
the building will be extended TO the
corner giving frontage of 100 feet on

ARRESTED FOR MURDER
Accused by Police Of Staying | 1-Year.
Old Girl Near SeattIe--His
Friends Declare He is
Innocent

Seattle, June 1.-The arrest of Tom
Nelligan, I5-year- old boy, on suspic-
ion of knowing more ABOUT the abuse
and murder of little Elsie Millhu@ .of
Renton, is the only feature in the trag-
edy that shocked all who read of it
last evening, of the assault upon an
Innocent .child of less than 12 years.
and her cruel murder to conceal the
crime. Nelligan fair face lighted by
apparently frank blue eyes, reveals
no trace of the brutality which must
have been in the heart of the person
who could do such foul act.
All Renton is in the highest state of
excitement, first at the search for the
missing girl. which began about mil
night Tuesday and ended only when
the body was found, at noon yestsr-
day and then by the efforts of the
officers to trace the responsibility for
the act. ~eei
Elsie Millhuff, the bright, brown
haired, II year old daughter of ". S.
Millhuff, a miner of Renron, was
foully and brutality murdered Tuesday
evening within sight Of her home, and
within the boundaries of the village.
The fiend who perpetrated the crime
failed of his evident purpose, but vent
ed bis rage in horribly slashing the un-
conscious body and then burying the
muIrilated remains in shallow grave
10 ciump of trees on the bank of
Cedar river.
Little Elsis went in search of the
family COW about o'clock. She
never returned.
Within coarle of hundred yards
from a dwelling some one had felleo
the girl with a heavy blow OIL the side
of the head, which of itself would
have killed her by producing concus.
sion of tia brain. Then, apparently
just o.make sure, he had attack ed the
body with some dull cutting instru-
ment, probably pocket knife; stabbed
her in the back of the neck, i1tlictiDg
a horrible jagged wound on tie throat
and stabbed her IN the mead. THEN
he threw the BODY over a fence run.
ming through the brush, and in a
ditchllke hollow Oil the other side
scraped a shallow hole, covering the
evidence of his crime with few 10 CHI
es of dirt. Nelligan's arrest is the
only one made thus far. The boy was
subjected to tests Of the severest kind,
and both the police and the sheriff &
officials were puzzled byshis actions.
Loath to believe III b guilty of such an
actrr they had convinced themselves
that he did hot tells straight Story.
