WAS NOT MURDER.

Stella Cook's Death Results From an Accident—Her Companion Was a Foreign Capitalist.

With the finding in the water at the foot of Peck court in Chicago Sunday, of the body of M. G. Vanderburg, a wealthy resident of the Netherlands, an associate of American capitalists, and a guest at the Auditorium Annex, the mysterious death of Stella Cook, of Montgomery county, last Tuesday night, was cleared. Miss Cook was not murdered, according to the present belief of the police, but lost her life with Mr. Vanderburg tjy the overturning of a boat in which they were rowing.

VOL. 54—NO. 38 CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20 1901-SIXTEEN PAGES PART SECOND

The discovery of the Hollander's body not only cleared up the

lfmurder

mystery," but dispelled the cloud of suspicion that has settled about Harry Thurston, cook on the steamer, City of Traverse and companion of the dead girl. Thurston was under arrest at Mackinac island, charged with the crime and the Chicago police had gone there after him.

Vanderburg dissapeared from the Auditorium Annex on Tuesday evening and was not again heard from until his body was found.

Vanderburg was connected with the Royal Netherlands steamship company and with the steamship company of Netherlands. His home was in Amsterdam, where he was a man of prominence. He was just completing a trip around the world, and had been several weeks in the United States making an effort to establish a steamship line between SanFrancisco and Batavia, Java, where the companies in which he is interested now have a port.

Identification of the man was made complete by George BirkholY, Jr., consul for the Netherlands, who took dinner with Vanderburg at the Union League club last Tuesday night.

THE JOURNAL Monday morning received the following letter from Sam S. Martin, who accompanied the girl's father to Chicago: "CHICAGO,111., Sept. 15,1901—CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL:—In company with A. L. Cook, father of Stella Cook, we came here Saturday morning for the purpose of learning any, or all of the particulars concerning her untimely death. Stella was last seen Tuesday evening as she was leaving the wharf on the lake for a pleasure ride with a man supposed to- be Wm, Thurston. An upturned boat and a broken oar was all that came back to tell the tale. Later Thurston was known to leave the city and the police wired for his arrest, at Mackinac island, which was done upon his arrival at that point. Mr. Cook, on the advice of the police, had sworn out a warrant for Thurston charging him with the murder of Stella and Detective Herman left last night to bring back the prisoner. The body of Stella was taken from the lake by a government life saver late yester day evening, which fully convinced all on the case that Thurston was the murderer. But this morning when the body of M. G. Vanderburg was also found and identified as the person that went out with Stella, the whole thing is changed, and Stella's death was undoubtedly accidental. Vanderburg is a comparative stranger here—a foreigner, traveling from place to place, and how or where he met her no one knows, as she was known at the hotel as Mrs. Thurston. To-morrow an inquest will be held and we will leave here for Darlington, in the evening arriving there on the 9:13 a. m., train. The funeral will be conducted in the afternoon, interment at the Rice cemetery north of town. "Stella left home near one year ago, going to Michigan City and coming here in June. Her life in this city was short one and her death a sad onef as it is a horrible sight to see the two bodies as they lie in the morgue today, scarcely to be recognized, "S. S. MARTIN."

About Stella Cook.

A correspondent of THE JOURNAL at Darlington sends the following communication in regard to Stella Cook, the unfortunate young girl who met a tragic death at Chicago last week: "Stella Cook was the second daughter of A. Lincoln and Alice Cook, and would have been seventeen years old next month. She was born in Sugar Creek township but has lived a part of the time in Darlington. Her mother died a little over one year ago. About one year ago Stella ent to live with her couBin, Mrs. Laura Shaj-fenburg, at Porter, Ind., a little west of Michigan City. Later on the Sharfenburgs moved to Michigan City. According to her letters her cousin would not allow her to come home as she had often requested them to do, but instead, hey refused her a home any longer.

She was then obliged to look out for herself. She soon became acquainted with Mr. Thurston, a chef on a steamer plying between Chicago, Michigan City and other points on Lake Michigan. Accovding to letters from her she went with Thurston to Chicago last June and put up at the Grand Eastern hotel, 300 Wabash avenue. She wrote her father later on that she was going to marry Thurston and asked his written consent that they might be able to procure a marriage license, she not being of lawful age she would be obliged to have his consent. On September 2, her father received another letter from her stating that she had been married to

Harry Thurston and that she wanted him to go to the clerk of the court at Crawfordsville and draw her money and send it to her, that they were going to buy an interest in the hotel. Her father went to get the money but Clerk Kennedy informed him that as he was not the girl's guardian nor empowered with power of attorney, that it would be impossible for him to get the money. Her father had written her concerning this matter on the morning he received the sad news of her supposed death. To know a person as we have known Stella Cook is to say that we have known her from her cradle to her grave. We see her in long dresses, a little cherub with all its lamb-like innocence. We see her at school, at play with her classmates, her heart is light and free, never a thought entering her peaceful mind that she in some future day is to be the victim of an assassin. No never. We see her grow to womanhood. We take special notice of her kind aimable disposition and lady-like manners. We prophesy that she will make eome man a true and noble wife, but our prophesy has fallen to the earth. We too have daughters growing into womanhood, and I cannot help asking myself what I am raising them for. We know not the future." "T. M. C."

Court Opens.

The September term of the Montgomery circuit court opened Monday, the court room appearing resplendent in its new frills and feathers. Most of the members of the bar were present but no regular business was transacted beyond the calling of the probate docket. Judge Hurley read an appropriate memorial drafted by the committee on the death of James M. Sellar and it was spread on record.

As Presiding Elder.

Word was received Sunday from the Methodist conference at Brazil to the effect that Dr. E. A. Schell would be made presiding elder of the Crawfordsville district. Dr. Schell is a young and eloquent man and was at one time secretary of the Epworth League. He has been quite prominent in church circles in more than a local way and is regarded as an exceptionally strong

THE MODNT MONUMENT.

A

Handsome Stone to Mark the Last treating Place of Governor Mount,

At present the only designating mark at the grave of Governor Mount is a foot stone inscribed "James A. Mount, 1843-1901." Before Mrs. Mount left for Syria, however, she contracted for a handsome monument to be erected at tho grave. This stone will probably not be in position before next May, but when Bet up it will be one of the handsomest monuments at Oak Hill. The design selected is of the sarcophagus style, the base being seven feet long and five wide, the monument when completed to stand about nine feet tall. On the die or center piece will be carved in raised seven inch letters the name "Mount." At each corner of the die will be a massive pillar, and the entire monument will be handsomely carved. The material used will be the best light Barre granite and it is to be an all axed Job, what is known to the trade a9 twelve cut work, the highest grade.

AN ANNOYING FIRE.

A Blaze at the Artificial Gas Plant 7 Leaves Part of the People |n Darkness.

Sunday morning about two o'clock the gas plant of the Crawfordsville Water' and Light Company was discovered to be on fire and the department was called out. The fire had originated on the platform over the generator, presumably from a spark from the generator, and was under good headway when discovered. The building is fire proof except for the (locr, but the floor made blaze enough to do great damage. The department did splendid service in extinguishing the llames and succeeded in saving the buildings and coal shedo east of tho plant.

The old coal bench at the plant Is to be placed in repair soon and hereafter the company will be able to supply either ooal or water gas. If tho price of oil continues to soar we shall have coal gas altogether. Thejfire of yesterday will doubtless force tho company to make some extensive improvements here. ,The actual IOSB to the plant, aside from tho loss to its service, was between $1,000 and $2,0u() and was covered by insurance.

Birthday Party.

Miss Dollio Bright, of Freemont street, celebrated her loth birthday on Monday evening. Games and music wore Indulged in, after which ice cream and cako was served. All left wishing Miss Dollie many more such happy events. Those present were: Frank Hinton, Mabel Plunkett, Ethel Hedge, French Housten, Bernard Davern, Violet Birchfield, Bert Stevens, Harry Vantrees, Hurley Hinton, Ilosa Barkley, Grace McGregg, Lee Hedge, Iva Croy and Mattie Hoover.

Turned Loose.

Jim Goff, who obtained goods under false pretenses at the store of Warner & Peck, has returned to Frankfort. The firm ho swindled refused to prosecute him and he was accordingly turned loose.

WHITE LOGIC.

DWIN FORREST was once drilling a stupid "super." In despair Forrest exclaimed: "Can't you say it as I do?" "No/' said the man "if I could, would I be working"

for $5.00 a week?" If you asked a cheap yellow soap to do the work of Ivory Soap the reply might well be: If I could, would I sell for half as much?" Ivory Soap, being pure, costs money, but not more than a pure soap has to cost.

The inside of the building whore the fire broke out was gutted, however, and the engine, pumps, and generator were ruined, much pipe being also melted by the intense heat. The fire wall was materially damaged, if not completely ruined, and the slate roof was a total loss.

The fire was scarcely out when Supt. Rowland had a force of men at work clearing up the debris and arranging to set up a makeshift plant to enable "him to furnish gas in the evening. All Sunday tho work was pushed and at seven o'clock the improvised plant had manufactured 2,000 feet of gas. When an attempt was made to turn this into the b!g holder, however, it was found that the main pipe had become stopped up and all the gas was lost. Not only this but the reserve supply, which was turned on when the management thought that it could furnish gas from the improvised plant, was quickly consumed by the patrons and those who depended on gas were left in darkness.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.

The Christian Church Wholly Inadequate for the Large Crowd That Wanted to ,/ Attend the Union Services In

Honor of the Dead President.

One thousafid people crowded into the Christian church Sunday evening to hear the eulogisms by the pastors of the city on William McKinley, and almost as many more failed to gain admittance. In view of the large number of people who wished to be present, arrangements should have been made to hold tho services in a larger hall, and it is probable that the services Thursday, when the President is to be buried, will be held in Music Hall.

The meeting began with prayer and scripture reading by Rov. S. V. McKee. Rev. W. F. Cook, of the Episcopal church, then spoke, taking as his subject, "McKinley as a Man," showing that in being a true typical American, President McKinley was first of all a Christian, and that he represented the true type of manhood. He was followed by Rev. A. W. Runyan, who spoke on "McKinley as a Soldier," and in his address showing that in the terrible times of the civil war that the dead President was at once a zealous soldier In the cause for which he fought and withal gentle and kindly towards those who opposed him. Rov. Wallace Tharp spoke on "McKinley as a Statesman," and Dr. Nave on "McKinley as a Christian." In closing the audience sang "Blest Be tho Tie That Binds." .-v
