WOMAN DROWNED IN KANKAKEE Mise Elizabeth Hague of Chicago was Browned in the Kankakee river near Blue Grass at 11:30 last Sunday morning. She had been in bathing and when last seen alive was sitting on a boat and was intending to go and dress and when they went to look for her they found her dead body about 300 feet from the boat. As the story goes the young lady, who was about 25 years of age, had dreamed for three nights that she was going to drown and it may have been that this was working on her mind, but the true facts as to her drowning will never be known. She, in company with her mother and a friend, had only come to the river the day before. The remains were brought to Lowell and prepared for burial by William Sheets and were sent to her old home at Huntington, Ind., Monday.—Lowell Tribune.
