LAKE FOREST Ill, Nov. 4.
While Elfrieda Knaak lowered
between life and death il d
hospital here today, relatives
and Lake county authorities
stood watch at her bedside for
some word that might clear
the mystery of the horrible
burning she received IA the
furnace of the Lake Blaff 1o-
lice station.
Another hope 81 authorities Tor
light on the case was blasted today
when Marie Mueller, the burned
girls closest chum was located and
taken to the hospital to face Miss
Knaak. The two girls had been
companions In the study Of al
vanced psychology.
Sticks 70 Story
Even IS Miss Mueller stood ct
her bedside, Miss Knaak forced 9
faint smile and said:

all.
Despite the improbable aspects Of
the case, Miss Knaak insisted that
she went to the basement OF the
police station At midnight last Mon
day for rendezvous with her
astral sweetheart and that when
he failed to keep the appointment
she decided to purify herself with
fire and SO become worthy OF
the great love" she bore him.
She said she placed first her
feet and then her arms and head
in the furnace firebox. She was
found, nude, her feet and hands
charred, near the furnace Tuesday
morning.
No Light Received
Certain clues, which indicated the
girl was not alone in the basement
caused authorities to round up
several close friends and acquair-
tances for questioning. None could
throw any light on the strange
case.
The burned girl named Charles
w. Hitchcock, night marshal at
Lake Bluff, and by day a teacher
OF expression and psychology, as her
astral sweetheart" She had studied
psychology and craftsmanship under
Hitchcock. She declared her love
for him was purely psychic.
Hitchcock, former motion pic
ture and vaudeville actor, Is living
at home with his wife and four
children. He admitted teaching the
girl, but said he did not know she
was 'in love" with him.
Force Of VIII
Physicians have refused permits
sion to question the girl further,
saying that she is living now by
sheer force of will power, the same
mysterious power that apparently
enabled her to force her members
into the roaring furnace.
All last night her brother. Alvin,

manned at her bedside. At times
she was gently urged by the

who attended the mission At the pres
ent time the DeSmet mission is attended
only by Coeur d'Alene Indians, but for
several years after its establishment it
was attended by white girls. 1t was the
third mission founded by Father DeSmet.
In the early years Of It's existence the
convent was lighted by tiny coal oil
lamps and bread was made of shorts and
flour, no other meal being obtainable.
The principal meat was bacon. Sugar
was O most expensive luxury.
Sister Victor will celebrate her 50th an
niversary as a nun next ear. She came
west with her parents from st. Cloud,
Mimi, when a child, making the trip in
q covered wagon drawn by OK teams. The
family was a member OF an immense
train Of emigrants bound westward to-
ward the Oregon country. Their guide
was Captain Mullan and the trip was a
six months journey from st. Cloud to
Portland.
A detachment Of United States troops
accompanied the train across the plains
to protect them from the Indians. En-
route the train stopped at Helena three
days to conduct a lawsuit over the wages
of one of the guides, who wished to leave
the train there. Sister Victor's father,
Michael Nlbler. purchased the Father De-
Smet fam. located on the willamette
river IN Oregon, from this famous Jesuit
father in 1866 and his family was one Of
the early settlers Of the Oregon territory.

mission. All of the sisters were former

The sea breeze cooled her cheeks be-
fore she reached Mrs. Tuffin's house, and
the ozone in 1t may have fortified her
resolution to pull down the curtain of
the comedietta. The parlor maid who
opened the front door grinned at her.
Perhaps she forced Hester's hand when
she said: II was quite willing to sit up
for you, my lady. Mrs. Tuffin told me
to do So"

LEVI WILD, oldest telegrapher in Montana, and who died in
Butte a few days ago as the result of an automobile accident, was one
of the well known pioneers of the west. He was at the Virginia City
end of the Western Union wire, when the telegraph lines reached that
gold camp in the CO.'S and transmitted the dispatch from patriotic
Montanans to President Abraham Lincoln, advising him of the COM
pletion of the line and that the young territory Of his creation was
loyal to the Union. He also sent out the first teleghaphic dispatch
telling the world of the Custer massacre at the Battle of the Little Big
Horn. BE went to Butte very early and became Butte manager for
the Western Union. For many years he had been secretary of the
Silver Bow club. He was so years of age.
