Whether 1t was love at sight, we

Miss Edna Lucille Chase, and shortly
after Miss Chase came down to Can
ton as a guest of Miss Lewis. Society
people were anxious to meet the young
lady who had won Napoleon's heart,
for Napolean was always a favorite
at home and won friends wherever he
went by his kind and courteous man.
e and genial disposition, and every

love for the beautiful Minnesota maid
was easily understood. In due time

HAS A BAD LOOK.
Norton Man Investigating Death
of Mrs. Hilsinger.
Believes Facts About Death
Have Been Suppressed.
WAS IN A HOSPITAL.
Took Sick After Returning From
DR.. Keith's Place.
Claimed That There Was a
Criminal Operation.

Following a quiet investigation into
the death of Mrs. Flora F1ilsinger, who
IT, was given out had ended her life by
having taken arsenic. evidence that the
woman was a victim of medical mall
practice has been brought to light by
R. A. Mather. of Norton county, who
was sent here by Miss Maize Hart, a
sister of the dead woman, to investi-
gate the cause of death. The affair has
been reported to County Attorney John
J. Schenck, who is also making an in
veStigation.
When the sister, who is a school
teacher in Norton county, heard of the
de ath of her relative. she did not be-
lieve the statement that the woman
had died through suicide. Neither did
she believe her ILL., as only few days
before she had received a letter. from
her sister in which it was communi-
Gated that Mrs. Hilsinger was in the
best of health.
Fearing thai foul play had been con-
nected with the death she sent Mr..
Mather here. He arrived in Topeka
Wednesday morning and quietly set
about investigating with the result that
it is charged that the woman died as
q result of a criminal operation. DR..
H. H. Keith, coroner of Shawnee coun-
ty, attended the woman, and after her
death pronounced her a victim of ar
senical poisoning.
Ill After Leaving Hospital.
1t has been brought out in the state
ments of those familiar with the case
that the woman. who is a niece of for
mer Senator Dan Hart of Norton, was
we'll at 1 o'clock last Monday after
noon; was taken violently i'll a couple
of hours later: was attended about 9
or $3.50 o'clock that night by DR.. Keith,
who said she had nothing but Mysteries;
and died about 1870 o'clock Tuesday
morning, at which time the physician
coroner said she had evidently taken
arsenic with suicidal intent.
When the girl died she was at the
home of T. NJ. Coulter. on Elliot street,
where she had been employed as house
keeper. Mr.. Coulter talks of the affair
in this wise:
s'tMrs. Hilsinger came to my house
about one week before my wife died a
month ago. After the death Of the lat
ter 1 asked her with regard to staying
as housekeeper and she assented to so
doing. Everything was all right until
last Monday morning. The girl asked
for SIS advance on her wages for the
week. and handed her the amount.
THAT night I came home from the
Santa Fe shops where I am employed
and found the house dark, Il thought
