GIRL FOUND DEAD
NEAR OWN HOMESTEAD
No Evidence Found Indicating
Case of Suicide or Murder
of Miss Marsh.

News was received in Glasgow Fri
day morning that the body Of Louise
Marsh was found dead in a home
stead shack thirty miles southwest
of Redstone last Saturday. Immed-
lately the authorities were notified,
and County Physician E. G. Steele,
DR.. Toney of Redstone, Deputy Coun-
ty Attorney T. w. Greer of Plenty
wood and Acting County Coroner Sell
mer Corlinus of Redstone went to the
scene of the death.
At first those arriving at the
homestead were given an impress
sion from the facts connected with
the case that a suicide or murder had
been committed, but after the autopsy
the doctors and jurors came to the
conclusion that the Eeath of the
young woman was of natural cause
produced by nervousness and exhaus-
ton. The jurors were John S. Albers,
Ed. Phillip and Caleb Koljem and
Chas. Westgaard.
According to the story leading up
to the. death, Louise Marsh had come
to her homestead on the reservation
the day of her death in an automobile
from Eckmann, N. D., the trip tax
ing two or three days. After her ar
rival she asked her brother-in-law,
Hilo, who with his two children were
at the homestead, to go to nearby
spring for pail of water. Upon their
return they found Miss Marsh lying
on the bed in state of exhaustion.
She gasped for breath and said word
or two and died. The brother-in-law
did everything possible to revive her
and finally sent for help. The de-
ceased has brother, Charles Marsh,
residing near Flaxvlle.
