LAKE DRAGGED
TO FIND BODY OF
SOCIETY GIRL

Kencsha. Wis, July 17.---Despon-
dent on account of troubles in her
home at Lake Geneva. pretty Laura
Estella Voss, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gustaye Voss, well-known So
ciety people of Lake Geneva. is
thoufut to have thrown herself into
the lake off the Wisconsin street
breakwater here today
Two barefoot prints, which are
alleged to have been those of the
despondent girl, and a penciled note
on a piece of an envelope. are the
only clews that the police have to
aid them.
She had made her home with her
uncle and aunt. Mr. ana Mrs John
Swadish, well-known Kenosha peo-
pie, since last February. She had
ben very happy in Kenosha until
last Monday. when friends in the
neighborhood in which she lived
went tc Lake Geneva to visit
friend..
The young woman believed that
she had learned the story of the
troubles of the Voss family. Her
last despondent message was found
pinned to a pillow in her carefully
arranged room at the Swadish resi-
dence this morning when her aun.
went to call her for breakfast. Here
is the note.
Forgive me. can't help it. God
bless you, Aunt Margaret.
The girl had left the house during
the night evidently with her hair
unbraided and with her feet unshod,
as her hairpins and ribbons. as well
as her shoes and stockings, had been
left behind.
The footprints on the soft sands
of the lake seem to have confirmed
the theory of the aunt of the young
woman. who declared that she be-
lieyed she had jumped into the lake
just as she had threatened to do in
the case the facts in regard to fam
lily difficulties at, Lake Geneva be-
came known in Kenosha.
LIE savers dragged the lake for
the body alt day but no trace was
found
