GIRL PLAYS dead;
FRIENDS WEEP
When wreaths Of Flowers Arrive
the Supposed Corpse Laughs
Over the Joke"

SPOKANE. Wash. Sept. 6.-After
assembling death from o'clock
wednesday night till yesterday az
ternoon, during which time dozens OF
grieving friends viewed her apparent
ly lifeless form and brought great
wreaths OF flowers TO accompany her
TO the grave. Jessie Siders of the
Howard Hotel nearly gave those
friends a severe case OF heart failure
when she suddenly opened her eyes
brushed aside the banks Of flowers
and languidly remarked that she did
not believe she wanted to stay dead
any longer.
The idea to play such hoax on
her friends occurred 10 her Monday
evening when. as she was riding her
horse along Second avenue, near Divi'
sion street. Il became frightened AT
an automobile and jumped down an
embankment. She alighted on the
horses neck and fell TO the ground
and passersby rushed to her, think
ing her neck was broken. She was
uninjured, however. and In q moment
OF facetiousness decided to give her
roommate. Nellie Trainer, scare,
Miss Siders then went to a tele-
phone and. In disguised voice
shouted this information over the
wire to her friend:
Jessie was thrown from her horse
and broke her neck"
What's THAR" screamed the room
mate.
Jessie was thrown from her horse,
broke her neck In rolling down the
river bank and has gone over the
falls" she said, adding more sobs and
horrible details.
Miss Trainer Immediately became
hysterical and called their friends.
AS she finished telephoning. however
and was bitterly weeping and waiting
for the body OF her friend to be
brought home she glanced out Of the
window and saw the supposedly dead
girl serenely dismounting. They con
ceived the idea OF continuing the
Joke.
The girl was quickly dressed in
white and placed on the bed, her face
covered with heavy veil, and soon
the friends began to arrive. Flowers
were placed beside her, and after sad
" viewing the girl the mourners were
led from the room.
The news spread and all Monday
night undertakers throughout the
city were kept busy answering the
telephone. Throughout yesterday the
morgues were visited by friends. and
soon the undertakers were inquiring
OF each other. Where is Miss Siders'

him IN front or the Chicago Athletic
club and ordered him TO drive TO Aus

they drew revolvers and demanded
his money. He resisted and his skull
was crushed with q wrench.
The police believe the men were
