MYSTERY IN DEATH OF
GIRL FOUND IN CSTERN
Autopsy Fails to Disclose Secret
~ Of Her End. u,tn

COLUMBUS. Ohio. April l6s-PoItce are
tryins TO unravel the mystery surround
inss the death of pretty nineteen-ycar-
old Lillian Schwenker, whose body was
found in the cistern at thesrear OF her
home yesterday.
A post-mortem examination failed to
reveal the secret of the girls death.
The autopsy showed no evidence that
death was due to any form orf violence.
Tho use Of a lung motor tin an efrort
to revive the girl last night made it
impossible to determine whsether or not
death was due to drowning.
A few sights cuts weie found on
the wrists and neck, and physicians to-
day removed the girls stonostch and are
holding II awaiting developtihents which
might make It advisable TO have the
contents analyzed.
The body was found in the, cistern by
tho girls mother and sister when they
returned home from a theat err. Several
rooms in the house we're ransacked. The
girls father and an invalid sister, VINO
were asleep, say they hearth no noises
during the evening.

FOREST FIRES ARE
DAMAGING HOUSES
At FLORIDATOWN
SMOKE is ANNOYING TO RESI-
DENTS, BUT SOON WILL BE
ABATED, AS COUNTRY HAS
BURNED OVER.
SPECIAL TO yam JOURNAL.


FloridatoWn, Jan. 22.-Forest fires
have been doing considerable damage
to the growing timber and under
brush near here recently. While the
property damage has not been as
heavy as is commonly the case at this
season of the year the smoke from
the fires has been very annoying TO
citizens at night. Most Of the coun-
try having been burned over already
the nuisance will be ababed perma-
nently now.
There has been an unusually large
amount OF travel through here dur
ing the past two weeks. Already the
publicity that has been given to the
Old Spanish Trail has caused much
interest 10 be manifested in the route
by tourists, who have flocked through
here from both east and west. With
the completion of the steel bridge
across the Blackwater river at MIL
ton, which was opened for traffic
this week, travellers viii have a quick
passage along the trail from PEN
sacola to the east and vice versa.
Considerable interest has been
manifested in this section recently in
the raising of angora goats. Several
splendid f1ocks have been placed at
different parts Of the county and give
promise of bringing In a splendid
revenue. Those who have tried these
goats here in the PAST report most
favorably upon them as money
makers.
Word has reached Floridatown
from Pensacola, where she was car
ried for treatment, that Miss Octavia
Coleman IL improving very satisfac-
torily, She was seriously burned
last week when her clothing caught
fire from the open fireplace in tho
family residence near here. While
she was quite seriously burned it is
believed now that she viii recover.
Net fishermen have been very sue
cessful here during the past week.
MFR. White succeeded In gathering a
large number of the finest salt water
trout that have ever been caught
here. Mr.. Guernsey also has been
landing some extra fine catches.
There has been very little hook and
line fishing done here recently, owing
to the extra amount of fresh water
which has come down from the upper
country in the Escanbia river.
Considerable lumber and square
timber has been shipped from here
during the past three weeks. Several
ship cargoes have been filled out from
here and large amount of the
square timber has been RATED TO
Pensacola. From all appearances the
markets of the world are demanding
much yellow pine at present.
