two other houses from being damaged,
is the belief of several residents OF

husbands grocery store had exploded
Mrs. Chisham awoke but dozed back
into sleep again not thinking any more

BODY OF WOMAN
IN THE LAKE
Was Well Dressed and Her Hands
Had Been Tied To-
qether.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 20.-The body
of young woman, described as being
25 years old, having dark brown eyes
and hair, weighing 130 pounds and be-
ing 5 feet, inch in height, was found
in one of the ore slips in the harbor
at Gary, Ind. The authorities of Gary
are working on the theory that the
young woman was murdered, thrown
into the lake and carried by the un-
dertow to the Gary ore slip.
The woman wore dark green coat
and skirt and a white lace waist OF
| fine texture. Her hat was of soft grey
+ felt, trimmed with green ribbons and
plumes The police hope to be able tc
identify the young woman by drat
| belt, which was ornamented With
green and gold figures, and the fact
that she wore unusually high-topped
shoes and silk hose. 1t is supposed the
! body had been in the water for sev
eral days, but the only mark Of VIC
lence Is a deep bruise in the temple.
1t is one theory that the body ma!
be that of q woman who was showed
! off a lake excursion steamer feV
weeks ago. The hands were found t.
be tightly bound with cloth. Thi
is viewed as an indication OF murder
The authorities now say that tn
body of the woman Is not that OF Mis-
Grace Hoffman, thrown from steam
er by her lover Francis Cooper. nov
in the penitentiary, but an unknowl
woman. The authorities are nov
looking for the body of baby, TO
the woman's hands were tied benin
her back with parts of baby's ga
ments.
