WAS THERE
CRIME IN
GIRLS DEATH?
Investigation Made Into the
Death of Girl in Kan

lsPEcAL ro rHE rINEsl

LOWELL. IND. Aug "A commit
tee from the Masonic lodge at Hunt
ington. Ind. was in Lowell yesterday
investigating the dedath Of Miss Eliza
beth Hague. who was drowned in the
Kankakee river about two weeks ago.
The remains Of Miss Hague were
brought to Lowell and were prepared
for burial and shipped to huntington
for burial. The deceaseds father was
a member Of the Masonic lodge in that
city and after the burial they discus
sed the matter and everything did not
look right so they are investigating
her death and If there has been foul
play they win act.
The committee called on Mr.. Sheets.
the undertaken and they informed him
that Miss Hague was one Of tfhe finest
young ladies in Huntington and that
she was well OF financially and that
after her death means for disposing cf
her property were taken and this IS
one Of the reasons that the investiga
tion is being made
Another peculiar thing is that the
deceased was to have been married IN
a short time and her intended husband
was never notified ~ her death ana
knew nothing of 1t until after she was
buried
Miss Hague had a great dread or

thought by some that some person
knowing this might have pushed hec
in the water and she was overcome by
this fear OF water. as the water IT
which she was drowned was only about
waist deep and she could have easily
~-aded 10 shore had she retained all
her faculties. 1t is to be honei that
if there was some foul play that it VIII

She then chased him out into the
street. she said, where he paused just
long enough to heave a rock at the
house after which he beat it north across
the railroad tracks.
ELL denied the whole thing and said
nc never tried 70 get into her house. it
was ait a mistake. At the same time
he said he vas in the place and that she
pulled p big automatic on HIM and he
naturally had 10 run. He charged her

History and biography are books of power in so much they teach, in the words of Lowell, that there is stern ly logical sequence in human affairs and that chance has but a trifling do- minion over them, teaches, perhaps, more than anything else the value of personal character as chief factor in what used to be called destiny" In connection with this age of the child'S yeading, bible stories were suggested as means Dy which to lead the child from fairy tales to history. The read ing of history should include books of travel and mothers were advised to take advantage of the present interest in foreign countries by giving children books acquainting them with the lives of children in other lands.
