MEETS DEATH
BY DROWNING
Fearing That World Was Coming
to an End Leaps Into River

NORTH YAKI% :, Wash, April 6.
The mysterious disappearance OF
Mrs. Ruby Woolheld, living Ave
miles from North Yakima, in the Ma
ches valley, from her home this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock is believed to have
been solved by tracing her footsteps
to the bank of the Naehes river, where
the following was found printed in
the sand beneath the Nelson bridge:
Mrs. Ruby Woolfield, April 4,
1910, has gone to her rest.
Mrs. Woolfield, who leaves a hus-
band and child three months old, Is
reported to have been frightened by
reports as to possible destruction OF
the world through the proximity OF
Halley's comet, according to re-
ports brought TO North Yakima by
Deputy Sheriff Rightmire.
As the Naehes river is at a high
stage and the stream is swift, little
effort could be made to recover the
body, although the stream was drag
ged with hay hooks provided by near
by ranchers Word OF the disappear
ance of the woman was sent to the
city by her husband, when she did not
return at noon after an absence OF
two hours.
Her footsteps were traced to the
shore, then lost and later the same
footprints were found near the
bridge, where the printing In the
sand was noticed. All members Of
the tracing party. including the
nelghbors. are convinced that she
waded into the river and ended her
life.
