Girl Murdered In Cemetery.

That Anna Schumacher. the seven
teen.year-old girl. whose body was
found crudely buried In Holy Sepul-
chre cemetery at Rochester. N. T..
was choked and beaten to death after
being criminally assaulted. Is the con-
clusion based on the autopsy held by
the coroner. but many Of the circum-
stances OF the crime. even to the ex-
act place where It was committed. can
still be only guessed. Although the
authorities believe they have clue
to the murderer. namely q broken
spade found near the scene Of the
deed who IL guilty Of the crime is a
matter OF the vaguest speculation.
The autopsy emphasized the bru-
tally OF the crime. The body was In q
pitiable condition - the head. face.
chest. arms and hands were covered
with bruises and scratches; the bone
that supports the tongue. the hyoid.
was fractured. when the assailant
choked his victim; the body was GOV.
cred with blood. and the hair was full
OF dirt and leaves. indicating that the
body was dragged some distance. prob
ably by the feet. Part Of the clothing
had been removed. II would seem that
the girl. who was Of vigorous ply
sique. made a desperate struggle to
save her honor and her life.
The young woman left her home on
Saturday morning to place flowers in
the family cemetery. which is that OF
the Catholic church. and when she
did not return at night her family be-
came greatly alarmed. A search was
instituted. which was kept up until the
finding OF her body by two officers.
The spot where the body was found
was well chosen for concealment. II Is

terry property and is surrounded by

Without One Cent
Discount

Sewell Truths policy had been taken
out by VIM. j. Davis, who sold the prop
erty to MIR. Truitt two years ago, but
had never transferred the policy, hence.
the company was not liable for the loss,
but paid it in full without discount at
our earnest solicitations and through

Mr.. Houston's property had also
passed into other hands without notice
or transfer of policy. Aside from this
the dwelling burned had been vacant
more than six months. Nevertheless,
we argued and urged payment of policy

HE, TOO, GOT A S1O0
FINE FOR TREATING

\ man giving his name as Chas.
Johnson languishes behind the bars
in the county bastile with 80 day
Jail sentence and a $l00 fine staring
him in the face. All because he was
too liberal with the outlaw booze. -
Johnson struck town Wednesday and
while here met up with an uncon-
querable longing for the beverage
which is now under the ban in Mont
rose. His pursuit of the fiery liquid
was fruitless until the arrival of the
train from Ouray which according
to the evidence brought out in Justice
Howe's court, brought an old gentle
man named Else. Johnson fell in
with Else and learned the where
abouts of some booze, or which
amounted to the same thing. Else
agreed to get some for him. Johnson
furnished the wherewith, which hap
pended in this case to be 81, and Else
shortly returne. with bottle of the
longed for liquid. And right here is
where johnson made his fatal mis-
take-he gave Else couple OF sups
from the bottle They were evidently
liberal sups as the old man became
drunk as a result.
About this time Sheriff DeGuelle
fell in with the couple and from
Johnson got the story of the affair
The sheriff then turned the case over
to Marshal Cooper, who arrested Else
and put him in the cooler. He was
taken before Justice Howe Thursday
and pleaded not guilty. The evidence
was against him, however. and he
was given fine of So and costs
johnson was then arrested for Civ
ing the old man a drink out of his
bottle. He pleaded guilty to the of
fense and Judge Howe gave him the
minimum fine of $100 and sent him
to Jail for thirty days. The charge
against Johnson was the giving away
of whisky, and not for buying it as
the Press had it. The giving away
or selling of whisky is a violation of
the local option law while on the
other hand there is no law against
the buying of the liquid.
Else claims to have gotten the
whisky from two miners who came
down from Ouray. He claimed that
he did not know their names but
offered to point them out to the Of
ficers if he could find them 1t was
impossible to locate them, however.
The old man was either fibbing in
this connection or else the two min
ers took the next train for sreener
fields. The real aim. of the arrests
was to locate the source of the
booze. .-Montrose Enterprise.
