Doctor and Girl Found Dead.


The mystery surrounding the find
ing of the body of Miss Nettie Poland
nineteen years old, daughter of a no
tel proprietor at Georgetown, w. Va.
in a motor car at Aleppo, near
Waynesburg, Pa, was solved when
the body of DR.. J. L. Sivert was found
in his Office at Georgetown. The
physician had swallowed poison.
The girl died as the result Of an
unprofessional operation believed to
have been performed by the doctor,
and it is believed he entered into a
pact to commit suicide if the girl
died. DR.. Siyert had been attentive
to her nearly four years, and had
been at Georgetown nearly seven
years. The body of the girl was
wrapped in a blanket in DR.. Siverts
machine. Surgical instruments were
found in the car.
When the couple left Poland's hotel
Georgetown, on the motor trip, James
Brown, tho girls grandfather, heard
DR.. Sivert say to the girls as he as
sisted her into the car: I'VE will die
together" When the girls body was
found the ownership of the car was
and the search for Dr.
6iVert was made.

Mrs. Armour Held Up In Home.

WITS ATHOuT flelu Up IN F1Ome.
Mrs. j. Ogden Armour, wife of the
millionaire packer, fought hand t.
hand with a masked robber in he
Michigan avenue residence in Chi
cagO, and although stunned for a mo
ment by a billy" pluckily resisteI
him while she called for help.
The police believe that at leas'
three men were involved in the rob
berry. Cash amounting to $75 an {
jewels whose value brought up the
total of the booty to $685. were taken.
None Of it has yet been recovered.
During her struggle against the in
truders, Mrs. Armour grasped the bar
rel of a revolver which had been
pressed into her face, tore it from the
hand of the burglar and tossed it over
her shoulder.
The police believe that a pearl
necklace, for which Mr.. Armour was
obliged to pay $4,000 duties when he
brought it to this country from France
in 1901, was the loot the thieves
sought. The necklace was appraised
at the time at more than $4,000. This
was not in the Armour residence when
the robbers forced their way in.
None of the robbers has been
caught and the police have no clue OF
any value. It is believed that two OF
the robbers did the actual thieving,
while third waited near the house in
an automobile.
