CHILD'S DEATH A MYSTERY
Frenzy of Strange Sect May Be
Responsible for Fatality.
Religious Manic Seizes Household
OF a Family in PennsyI-
vania Town.

Nazareth. Pa, April 1s--The local and
county authorities are confronted with
one OF the most astonishing and mys-
of the State in the death last night or
early to-day of the six-year-old daughter
of Henry Smith.
The child may have been slain. or she
may have died of fright.
At any rate. whatever caused her death
was the outcome Of remarkable relig-
ious frenzy manifested at the home of
her uncle, Robert Bachman, who lives
on the outskirts of this place. Bachman
is in custody and half a dozen other
arrests are expected.
Bachman's brother-in-law, Henry Smith,
lives at Siegfried. about nine miles from
here, and among others Bachman tried
TO convert him. On Saturday night last
Smith. his wife and little daughter drove
from Siegfried to this place on a visit
the purpose Of which was TO be convert
ed. if possible.
The services at Bachmans house ran
over Sunday and yesterday. Last night
came the climax. Neighb0rs in the vicin-
ity say there were all sorts of noises in
the house yelling and screaming. and
pounding and stamping.
Furniture was broken, windows and
Goors pulled down, and dishes smashed,
holes punched in the ceilings and even
in the walls, The place was almost
wrecked.
At 1 a. IA. Smith left the house and
went to the home of a Eeighbor, where
his horse and buggy were quartered. To
the man whom he reused 70 get the rig
he said he was going back 10 Segfried.
Here's my wife he is said 10 have
remarked, and she's got the little girl.
She's dead
who's dead?" he was asked.
Why, the little girl, Of course" he
responded. Then he and his wife got into
the buggy the wife bearing the child
body. and they drove of.
The neighbor was so astonished that
for a time ne didn't know what TO do.
Eventually he went TO Squire Roster
Dader, who sent an officer 10 Bachmans 5
home and put him under arrest.
