An especially pretty picture hat of

o5 near Harwood. this county, 12
ililes south of Annapolis, came
II a tragic death yesterday aft
enoon. With a rope drawn
bout her neck, which it is sup
osed became entangled as she
attempted to tie her pet horse in
its stall on the farm of her par
e1ts, the dead body of the young
girl was found by her mother at
3 80 o'clock.
Was Strangled To Death i.
1t was thought at first that the
girls neck had been broken, but
further examination revealed that she
had been strangled and suffocated to
death. The theory is that the horse
either started to back out OF its stall,
or became a little fractions, and the
rope became entangled in such a
manner that the girl was unable to
extricate herself. -
Expert At Horse Riding
Miss Shepherd was regarded as an
expert rider. and 1t had been her GUS
tom to ride back and forth from the
public schoolhouse, which is about
a mile and a half from the home OF
her parents. The horse, which was
her favorite, is said to have been
generally docile. Perhaps the last
person to converse with Miss Shep-
herd was Charles d. Kolb, who con-
ducts a general merchandise store at
Harwood. Returning to her home
from school, the young girl, as was her
custom, stopped by the store, made
some purchases, and then started of
toward home. When she did not
reach here at the usual time, her
mother began to feel alarmed. and az
ter waiting some time she instituted
an investigation. Going to the stable,
TIE horrible sight OF the lifeless body
OF her daughter greeted her and she
was prostrated. Other members OF
the family had assembled In the mean
time, and the body of the unfortunate
young lady was removed to the house.
