Woman Leaps Into Lake With Young
- Daughter

....S Chicago, Nov. 3.-The waters o.
Lake Michigan washed up tragedy
Monday when the bodies of Mrs
Laura Foss, % years old, and ~hei
5:yearsold daught ashor1esss a
the foot Of Winona street.
A fisherman found them at day
break and they were taken to the
nearest morgue Meanwhile Patrol
man Howard Foss, returning from,
all-night duty, failed to find his wife
and daughter at home and started
inquiry. Some impelling thought led
him to the morgue.
Mrs. Foss had been in poor health
for some time. Monday Dfghb she
visited her home of her mother and
started to her own residence about
il o'clock. 1t is thought in a fit OF
depression she made directly for the
lake and carrying her daughter. La
Vergne, in her arms, leaped in. Each
of the bodies bears an ugly mark,
the print of a heay blow over tn"
right temple, that may have been
caused by the bodies beating at the
stone breakway, anc the police arc
investigating, but the fact that the
rings on Mrs. Foss fingers had not
been taken tends to support the suci-
eide theory.

THE WHISPERING GHOSTS.
I At this juncture, however, the thin
emaciated lady raised our hopes by an
nouncing that she was medium. That
was the reason why she could not speak
| above mild whisper, she said. The
spirits had simply worn out her vocal
| chords in their frenzy To Communicate with
| this world. Since she could not be heard
| from the platform, she drank glass of
water, and then came down among the
audience TO deliver the ghostly words of
wisdom that she said were beginning to
reverberatc around her.
| The first object of spirit solicitude was
| bashful young man who looked as If he
| had lust left some old country, and who
was much embarrassed at being singled
out. The spirit Of an old man was present,
| the medium said She did not known who
he was, rs he had some reason for with
holding his name, but he wanted Johan
| August. In September everything would
come out all right, but in the meantime.
Johan was to watch his step
The next was n young girl, also for
eirner. "You are thinking of leaving
Detroit ,aren your inquired the medium
mo- Well, you have thought ofleaving-
ah. thought so. There is spirit here
can't quite see her face. but she says her
back hurts her somethin awful She
says it would be bad thing for you to
leave the city right now, and on no ac-
count are YOU to 90 before September
This was practically the gist Of all the
spirit messages. Almost everyone in the
audience, with the exception of ourselves,
whom the visiting shades carefully ignored,
was warned to be cautious about some
thing and invariably August, probably
because il was most imminent, was the
fatal month. A few were told that their
husbands or wives or uncles or cousins

happy, and only waiting for them 10 JON

medium was seized with n headache or .

members of the audience in identifying

tion nearly came to blows over q spirit

medium quickly restored order by banish-
ing this particular shade and producing
another one.
