He puts first-class stock in his paper and makes it strong and heavy. His foreman, Mr. Krug, is an old paper maker and understands his business as well as any man in the west. The machinery was built by Mr. Richardson several years ago when he was running the Logan Foundry. Six or eight men are required to operate the mill, and three hundred tons of straw and rags are consumed every year, when the mill is in full operation.

DROWNED
In the South Side Race
Sad Death of a Young Lady
"The Pitcher that Goeth Often to the Well," Etc.

On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, Miss Salena Krug, daughter of Henry Krug, a German, who works at the South Side paper mill, left the mill where she has been also employed, to go to her home near by and across the race. There had been some derangement of the machinery which temporarily suspended her employment, and it was understood that when she was wanted again the mill steam whistle would call for her. After the repairs were made the whistle was sounded, but she did not respond. Finally, a messenger was sent to her home after her, and it was then discovered that she was not there. This fact excited immediate alarm, but still her friends hoped that she might have gone to some neighbors house. Inquiry among the neighbors, however, greatly weakened this hope, and all thoughts turned to the narrow foot-walk, and deep race, which the girl had to cross in going to her home. At about one o'clock in the morning the water was started out of the race, and at about four o'clock the body of the girl was found some twenty feet above the foot-walk, from which she had evidently fallen while passing over it in the darkness. She had moved a sufficient distance in her struggle, in the wrong direction, to have taken her to shoal water at either shore, and went down about the middle of the race, in six feet of water. Miss Krug was about eighteen years of age.

BODY SNATCHING
Mount Hope Made the Scene of this Horrid Crime
The recent discoveries, made near Cincinnati, of grave robbing have caused a feeling of uneasiness all over the country among those who have recently laid away friends or relatives in their last resting place. Logansport was no exception to this terrible feeling of anxiety, it being well-known that there are men in our midst who would not scruple to rob the graves of the dead for money. This feeling of anxiety was increased tenfold by a recent article in the JOURNAL, which stated that Col. Snelbaker, the detective who ferreted out the Ann Arbor horror, had named Logansport as the location from which two of the bodies, found in the pickling vat, had been sent. This feeling culminated yesterday in the determination on the part of Henry Krug to investigate the grave of his daughter who was buried in the latter part of last February. It will be remembered that this young lady was accidently drowned in the Taber race, on the South Side, on the night of the 22d of February, while crossing a plank on the way from her home to the paper mills. The remains were recovered and interred in Mount Hope cemetery.

Yesterday morning Mr. Krug, with a few friends, repaired to Mr. Hope to allay or confirm his suspicions. The head of the grave was found sunken, further strengthening their fears, which were fully realized upon digging down to the coffin. The body of his daughter was gone, and the shroud, slippers, comb and hose, crammed rudely in the head of the coffin told a tale of heartless villainy of which it is almost impossible to conceive. A hole about eighteen inches square had been cut in the coffin, through which the body had been dragged. The work had been done systematically and shows the hand of the professional grave robber.

Every effort will be made by the officers to discover the actors in this dastardly business. The Mayor will recommend the Council to offer a reward of $200 for the discovery of the offenders, and this sum will be largely increased by outside parties. The detectives have declared their ability to ferret the matter out, and if the proper steps are taken the fiends will probably be brought to justice.

LIFE TROUBLES
People in the vicinity of the county jail last evening were over and anou? startled by loud cries for help, followed by a demoniacal laugh making the cold chills run down the spine column, and a nervous glance about to see if anyone was near. The cries, however, came from a cell in the county jail. The man thus confined is Henry Krug. He is locked up in a cell and closely guarded, being dangerously insane at times. He was brought over from his home on the South Side last Friday night to prevent his harming his family. It is a sad case and one which excites sympathy from the sadness of its nature. Mr. Krug is a machinist by trade and has worked for a long time at Knowlton & Dolan's foundry. He has always been known as a quiet, hard working man. His trouble began about four years back, when one dark and stormy night his daughter was found in a tail race at the Hardy & Metzger mills on the South Side. She was a very bright and winsome young creature and had been the pride of the father's heart. It was a sad blow to him. But he said nothing and quietly laid her to rest in the cemetery. Nothing was discovered to explain her death, and only the belief that she had fallen from the narrow bridge spanning that stream of water was left him. A short time after her burial the discovery was made that the grave in which her body had been laid had been desecrated. No clue was discovered to show who had thus spirited away the body. He made diligent search to find trace of the remains but to no use. This heavy weight of trouble was beginning to have its effects on his overburdoned mind. He became at times quite wandering in his conversation, and it began to be noticed that his mind was giving way. He had during this time been working for Knowlton & Dolan. A few weeks ago while lifting one of the heavy wheels at the shop his hand was caught under it and badly crushed. He was taken down to Drs. Shultz & Shults's office and had his hand dressed. The writer then was struck by the queer actions of the man. He continually held his hand to head, and his eyes had that staring, wondering look peculiar to an unsound mind. His two sons were there with him and watched his every movement, seeming to be aware that all was not right with their father. He was taken home and remained there until his hand healed up. Within the last week he has became dangerously insane and for fear that he might injure the members of his family he was locked up in the county jail. He imagines that he is working at his trade and continually talks about his work, now and then breaking out in a violent manner. He will be examined Monday and sent to the insane asylum at Indianapolis.

If all the rotteness that takes place in Logansport every twenty-four hours was boiled down and condensed into a thimble, the dose would be sufficient to turn inside out the strongest stomach in the Wabash valley. There is perhaps as much sculduggery and low down rottenness and meanness, to the square inch, in Logansport as any city in America, outside of the mining districts.

F. M. Prosch was formerly a mail carrier, then ran a billiard room on Broadway, He spent a good portion of his time drining awill and gambling. He then left town, presumably with one of Logansport's fast trotters. It is believed they lived for a time at Terre Haute, then at Indianapolis, where Prosch was employed in the boiler shops of the I. B. & W. road.

Mrs. Prosch says that while at Indianapolis last week visiting relatives she found that her husband and the Logansport woman were living at a boarding house as man and wife under an assumed name. Mrs. Prosch also charges that while she was at Indianapolis her husband came to Logansport, broke into their residence, packed and shipped their household effects to some point unknown to her. The stuff was shipped from the Panhandle freight depot and she believes it was taken to Indianapolis. The employes at the freight office refused to tell her to what point the furniture was shipped.

Several years ago their daughter, an estimable young lady, was found drowned in the race near the Southside paper mills. The Pharos readers still remember the terrible affliction that followed. After interment had taken place Miss Krug's remains were stolen by grave robbers, and after a diligent search her father found them in a medical college at Ann Arbor, Michigan.

A FINE BILLIARD HALL
Few cities can boast of a better and more highly respectable pool and billiard hall than the one at 316 Broadway, opposite the Murdock hotel, conducted by F. W. Prosch. Mr. Prosch in his new room, has abolished the card tables and has made a firm stand against gambling at the billiard tables. As a result, his room is filled every evening with an orderly crowd of representative young men. The success of a billiard hall without a bar room, is always highly improbable, and the measure of success attained by Mr. Prosch, should give him much credit from and the thnaks of the public. His place is free at all times from rowdies and improper characters. A call will convince you of the truth of the above.

WILLIAM PROSCH
A Place of Pleasant and Healthful Recreation
When nervous and worn out with the strain of business affairs, no more pleasant place can be found for an hour's recreation than William Prosch's billiard hall, opposite the Murdock Hotel. A well-lighted room, courteous treatment and the merry click of ivory balls form a potent factor in ridding the mind of care and worry. No one is more conversant than Mr. Prosch of the fact that good tables add half to the pleasure of a billiard game, and no one has ever had occasion to find fault with the appointments of his hall in any way. Billiards are ever increasing in popularity, and every evening the hall is filled with the best young men of the city. Mr. Prosch also carries a line of the finest imported and domestic cigars. The connoisseur will find no difficulty in finding a cigar suited to his taste in five and ten cent goods. Mr. Prosch was born in Germany in 1862, and removed to Logansport in 1873, and, after attending school for some time, engaged in the dry goods busines. Later he was employed in the Pan Handle shops, and has also served five years as a mail clerk. About a year ago he opened up his billiard hall, since which time he has conducted a most prosperous business. In all his career his business dealings have been above reproach, and to this fact is largely due his success.

Wm. Prosch stepped off a car at Ninteenth street, Saturday evening, and sprained his ankle so severely that he is hardly able to walk.

HORSE STEALING
Is the Charge Lodged Against Sid Powell and Ecky Cahill.
Took Two Horses Belonging to William Prosch
And as a Result, are Landed in Jail

Sid Powell and Ecky Cahill, who have several blots on their family escutcheons, indulged in a little escapade last night which will still further lower their illustrious names.

About 7 o'clock the police were notified by William Prosch, of Nineteenth and Usher streets, that both of his horses had been stolen from the stable by two men. The fellows were seen by Mrs. Prosch as they were driving away, leading one horse behind the buggy, but instead of heeding her cries to stop, drove rapidly away. The police soon got on the track of two men with a rig answering to the description and about 10 o'clock rounded them up at Welch's saloon on Twelfth street. Powell and Cahill who were in the saloon, were arrested by Captain Skeleton and Officer Graham as the men wanted. The horse and buggy was hitched in front and a number of people will testify that two men were seen driving the rig.

The mayor committed them to jail this morning for ten days for intoxication and upon their release they will have to answer the grave charge of horse stealing.

WHERE IS PROSCH?
He Left Here With Twelve Hundred Dollars
And His Wife is Fearful That He Has
Been Assissinated

Mrs. Prosch, wife of F. W. Prosch, who recently disposed of his pool and billiard hall to Walter Closson, is just now experiencing a world of trouble.

About a week ago, after disposing of his business, Prosch disappeared and neither his wife nor most intimate friends are aware of his present whereabouts. He had about twelve hundred dollars when last seen here, and his wife is fearful that he was enticed away from the city by some designing person and assulted.

There are many stories in circulation concerning the recent conduct of the missing man, some of which are highly sensational.

Martin Betcher Sues Him for $300

The filing of a suit today by Martin Betcher through Attorneys McConnel & Jenkines, vs. Fritz William Prosch, demand $300 on note may partly explain the reason for the defendant's sudden action in leaving the city. Friends of Mr. Prosch say that he left Logansport Friday, giving no hint as to his destination or the time of his return. Mrs. Prosch does not know where her husband is and is considerably worried over his sudden departure. It is not improbable that he is attempting to devise means to pay off his indebtedness and return. The note upon which Betcher sues for judgement is for $200 and was executed August 19th, 1893, due one year after date. Mr. Prosch conducted a bulliard hall until a week ago, but sold out to Walter Closson.

A MEAN TRICK
F. W. Prosch Deserted His Wife and Took Her Furniture

Fritz William Prosch, who formerly ran and conducted a pool and billiard room on Broadway, where Walter Closson now is, has been guilty of the meanest kind of a mean trick, if what his wife relates of him is true. Fritz William was in the city last week, returning after an absence of several months, having gone away without the formality of saying goodbye to his wife. Fritz William alleged that he was here on business and later developments tend to confirm his statement.
Mrs. Prosch has lived on Twenty-third street since her husband left her, until last week was in Indianapolis visiting relatives. When she returned yesterday she found that the house had been stripped of almost all the furniture and on inquiry she learned that her husband had gained entrance to the house in her absence and packed the goods. He had shipped the stuff via the Panhandle to some point unknown, but supposedly to Indianapolis. The bill clerks at the freight office refused to disclose the destination of the shipment.
Prosch has been working at his trade that of a boiler maker, in the I. B. & W. shops at Indianapolis and it is reported that a Logansport woman was the cause of his separation from his wife, and that this woman was with him for a time at Indianapolis, and that the wife found them at a boarding house, living as man and wife under an assumed name, and the Logansport woman then returned home. She has been in the city for some time, but has again turned up missing, since Prosch's visit.

TEARS
Were in the Eyes of Mrs. Will Prosch
When She Described Alleged Cruel Treatment
at the Hands of Her Husband

Tears streamed down the cheeks of Mrs. F. W. Prosch and her voice was choked with sobs as she described the alleged cruel treatment she had been subjected to at the hands of her husband.

Prosch was at one time a mail carrier in this city and later established the billiard and pool room on Broadway, now owned by Walter Closson. He did well until he began to toy with the tiger and play the good fellow with a certain young woman with a divorce court record and an abundance of impudence and avoirdupois. The pace was too swift and William finally left town between two days, causing many inquiries as to the probability of his return. It is said that the woman referred to above went with him and that they were located for a time at Terre Haute, then went to Indianapolis where Prosch obtained employment at jos trade, that of boiler maker in the I. B. & W. shops.

Mrs. Prosch says that while at Indianapolis last week visiting relatives she found that her husband and the Logansport woman were living at a boarding house as man and wife under an assumed name. Mrs. Prosch also charges that while she was at Indianapolis her husband came to Logansport, broke into their residence, packed and shipped their household goods to some point unknown to her. The stuff was shipped from the Panhandle freight depot and she is of the opinion that it was taken to Indianapolis. the employes at the freight office declined to tell her to what point the furniture was shipped.

Prosch showed up in Logansport the latter part of last week but disappeared again Sunday night or Monday morning.

THREATENS TO SUE
FOR BREACH of PROMISE in the VIRGO COURTS
Jennie Secrist Wants Damages From Frank M Huntsinger:
Who She Claims Made Many Promises To Marry Her.

The announcement of the marriage of Franklin M. Huntsinger, formerly of this city, now of Terre Haute, and Miss Lulu Rebber, also of that city, as having occurred at Chicago a week ago today, was received in this city Saturday, and to one party, at least, it came not as a pleasant surprise. Instead it aroused the anger of a jealous woman, who lives in this city and who swears she will bring a suit in the Circuit court of Vigo county for breach of promise.

If she does it may be a revelation to the new wife, who probably does not know that her husband had had a sweetheart in addition to a divorced wife and two children.

Frank M. Huntsinger was a train dispatcher in the employ of the Vandalia in this city during Superintendent Hatch's residence, and his term of residence was about three years. It was while in that capacity, so the story goes, that he met and won the love of Jennie Finch, a pretty 18-year-old girl, who was alone in the world, and who learned to love him, as she says, better than her life.

At the time she was engaged to John Secrist, but claims that she went with Huntsinger, regardless of this fact until she found out that he was married, then she married Secrist. At this time she says she stopped meeting Huntsinger, but her infatuation for him was such that her married life was unhappy and she applied for and was granted a divorce at Kokomo. She returned here and was and still is known as Jennie Secrist, and has been employed in some of the best houses in the city.

After Huntsinger had worked here he was transferred to Terre Haute, but before he was sent to that city the woman says their meetings were frequent and loving. That he asked her many times to elope with him but that for the sake of his wife and children she refused.

Upon his change to Terre Haute she asserts that he sent for her and she spent a year there, coming back here last June, when a bad family mix-up was about to take place between Hunsinger and his wife in which divorce proceedings resulted and the wife, formerly Frances E. Kenneth, of Camden, Ind., secured a legal separation and custody of the children. Before their separation, she continued: "I frequently visited their home and the wife knew that Frank and I were lovers, but I could never tell what her feelings were. She treated me very nice. I went with him fully fifteen years, and loved him all that time and love him now, and he promised to marry me. Frank loves me and I'll sue him for breach of promise. I cried when I first heard he had married again", but with a toss of her head, "I don't care and I won't worry about him".

The separation and divorce occurred last June and Huntsinger, as will be seen above, was married last Tuesday.

The Terre Haute papers, at one time before his divorce case came up, gave him a "tearing up" about beating his wife and said he was a "bold, bad man that ought to be disiplined."

Since obtaining the above story Jennie Secrest who rents rooms and keeps a boarding house in the flat above Murdock's shoe store sent down a letter which appears as though the first Mrs. Hunsinger does not blame her for the separation. It reads:
Terre Haute, Dec. 15, 1898.
Dear Jennie: I want to know if you forgive me for what I said about you. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. I suppose you have learned Frank is married to that girl that parted us. I would never have treated you so mean if it hadn't been for Frank. I ask you to kindly forgive me. Hoping to hear from you, I remain,
Mrs. Ella Huntsinger
919 North Thirteenth street, Terre Haute.
Inclosed in the envelope was a clipping giving an account of the family row in which Huntsinger is credited with blacking his divorce wife's eyes. The former wife is now said to be residing with F. W. Prosch the former proprietor of the Closson pool and billiard room here and was also a letter carrier in the employ of Uncle Sam.

He fell from grace here at one time and with a young lady tore out between two days. His wife is now living south of town. Jennie Secrist declares the end is not yet, and swears that she will bring the suit. She gave Huntsinger one more chance yesterday by writing him a letter and some charges more sensational may be brought out, as she claims she has them in her possession, and from her looks she is a woman not to be jilted without striking back.

MET HORRIBLE DEATH
MISS SARAH GEHRING BURNED TO DEATH
AT HER HOME
Hanging Lamp Fell Down Oil Scattered over Her and Clothing Caught Fire

Miss Sarah Gehring, residing at No. 1912 Spear street, met a horrible fate last evening at 5:30 o'clock by being burned to death, her clothing having caught fire from a hanging lamp which fell upon a table near her, the oil scattering upon her clothes and igniting them.
The frightful accident occurred in the presence of a number of occupants of the house, all of whom became so utterly confused and panicstricken that they were practically helpless and unable to render assistance sufficient to rescue the unfortunate woman from her terrible predicament. In an effort to extinguish the flames about the burning woman, her foster mother, Miss Jennie Dailey, and Thomas Dailey, a border, were severely burned about the hands and arms.
Miss Gehring was in the living room of the house seated at a small table directly under a hanging lamp, waiting for the evening paper. Little mindful of the terrible fate that was awaiting her she sat, when suddenly the lamp above her dropped and struck the table and was shattered to pieces, the hook in the ceiling from which the lamp was suspended, having pulled out.
The sudden crash practically stunned Miss Gehring and before she could recover, the oil had saturated her clothing and the woman was enveloped in a sheet of flames. Mr. Dailey was in the room at the time and instantly seized a convenient piece of carpet and threw it over the woman intending to smother the flames. By this time she was frantic and in her excitement ran to the kitchen where her foster mother was. Miss Dailey tried to smother the flames with her hands, but in attempting to do so was frightfully burned. Water was poured upon the unfortunate creature, but before the flames were extinguished she was fatally burned and lived but a few moments afterward, suffering the most excruciating agonies until death relived her.
The occupants of the house were panickstricken and scarcely anyone knew what to do. Miss Dailey rushed from the house and screamed for assistance and in response to her cries neighbors came in, but nothing could be done. Drs. Downey and Gilbert were summoned, but when they arrived the woman was dead. The hair had been singed, her clothing was partly burned from her person, her flesh was frightfully burned, and altogether her condition was most horrifying.
The burning oil had also ignited the carpet and the blaze was communicated to some of the furniture in the room, threatening the destruction of the house, which added to the confusion of the occupants. The fire department was summoned, but when they arrived the fire had been extinguished by the neighbors who had come to the rescue and had thrown some of the burning stuff out into the street.
In the house at the time of the accident were Miss Elizabeth Prosch and Joseph Ballou, neighbors, besides Thomas Dailey, a border, and Miss Jennie Dailey, the foster mother. They were all unable to do anything on account of the panic which possessed them. The deceased was thirty-eight years of age. she leavves a sister, Miss Margaret Gehring, a teacher in the public schools, and two brothers, Alpheus Gehring of this city and John Gehring of Denver.
The deceased was a daughter of the late Jacob Gehring and wife, who many years ago conducted the hotel now known as the Johnston Hotel.

(Wednesday's Reporter)
With a large gash in his head and a severe fracture in his skull, the plucky 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Prosch of 1817 Spear street, bound a wet cloth about his head and walked nearly two miles to his home.

The lad had been playing along the dam near the Dorner Truck factory and was standing on the stone embankment which runs along the river when he lost his balance and fell to the rocky bottom twenty-five feet below. His head struck a rock and the skull was crushed and a big gash ent. As soon as the boy recovered himself he wat a rag in the water and binding it about the gash wich was bleeding copiously, he started for home. He reached the house in an exhausted condition and a doctor was immediately called. The fracture was found to be of a serious nature and eleven stitches were necessary to sew the gash in his head. However, the boy is now doing nicely and if no new complications arise he will completely recover from the injury.

TOOK CRAMPS AND DROWNED Carl Prosch Went Down In Sight of Many Bathers. The Boy Was Tired and Hot From Day's Work and Cramped When He Got In Water.
Two Boats Were Manned, But They Were Unable To Save The Boy's Life. Carl Prosch, the eighteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Prosch, of 332 Linden avenue, was taken with cramps and drowned in Eel river near Fifth street, last night at nearly nine o'clock.

The boy was tired and hot from the affects of his day's work at the Trade Palace, and his system was in no condition to stand the cold water. He took a cramp when in a deep hole and sank from his companions' sight. The nearest of his companions was Charles Hupp who was more than a hundred feet away. He swam immediately to his companion's rescue, but after he had waited several seconds and the boy did not rise, he swam back to the shore and manned a boat to go to his rescue. Two boats were soon on the scene but the boys were so excited they were unable to locate exactly where their companion had gone down. Finally the oars of the boat struck something and Charles Surface dived and brought the lifeless body too the surface. The boy was taken to the shore and efforts were made to restore him and Drs. Downey and O'Leary were called. They stated that the boy had been dead when the body was taken from the river. Both parents of the boy fainted when they learned that there was no hope of saving his life.
Carl Prosch was a cousin of the boy who fell from the Wabash dam a week or so ago and sustained a fracture of the skull.
The funeral of the drowned boy will take place Monday at 2:30 p.m. at the German Lutheran church, Rev. Tirmienstein officiating. Interment at Mt. Hope.

CARL PROSCH, SON OF HENRY PROSCH, LOST LIFE IN EEL RIVER
Hundreds Saw Young Man Drown
Body Recovered After Half An Hour's Search.

Overcome with cramps and too far out in the river for immediate assistance to reach him from his friends, Carl Prosch, aged 17, clerk at George W. Seybold & Bros. Trade Palace, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Prosch, of No. 332 Linden avenue, was drowned in Eel river last night at 9:30 o'clock near the old acqueduct. Several attempts were made by other bathers and persons standing on the shore to rescue Prosch, but all were in vain, and not until a half an hour later was the body recovered by Will Surface, one who had been watching the bathers from the river bank.
Prosch was in a party of about fifteen or twenty bathers near the foot of Fourth street. He had entered the water shortly after 8 o'clock and had been swimming for more than a half an hour, when he was overcome with the cramps. He succeeded in getting to the bank, however, where he rested for several minutes. He thought that he had recovered from the attack in a few minutes and again entered the water. He swam far out beyond the middle of the stream. Directly over one of the deepest holes in the river he began to sink and Charles Hupp, one of the bathers, heard him call for help. Prosch had again been overcome with cramps.
Hupp swam out to Prosch, but just before he reached the place Prosch sank, and Hupp, unable to get him, returned to the river bank to get more assistance. Hupp, Will Surface, Will Smith and Percey Jones secured a boat along the shore and started out to rescue Prosch. Each repeatedly dived into the stream for Prosch and each arose empty handed. Victor Wagner, a plumber employed at John Holland's shop, who owns a boat in the river, was called. By the time Wagner reached the scene of the drowning with his boat, Will Surface had recovered the body. The boat in which the divers had been standing was sinking and Prosch's body was placed in Wagner's boat and taken to the north bank of the river.
Dr. F. T. O'Leary and Dr. J. A. Downey were called and pronounced Prosch dead. Before the doctors arrived the boys worked with the body in an attempt to restore life. More than a hundred people gathered on the bank while the boys were searching for the body in the river and almost every one was shouting to the boys in the river. After the doctors pronounced Prosch dead the body was taken to the Prosch home on Linden avenue. The parents are grief-stricken.
Yesterday was Mrs. Sophia Prosch's birthday anniversary. Mrs. Prosch asked Carl to stay at home that evening, saying that the family would celebrate the event, but when he saw the other boys starting for the river he decided to go to and to return home early. Before leaving the house his father Henry Prosch, bookkeeper at Linton & Graf's plumbing shop, reminded him of his mother's birthday also and young Prosch said he would be home soon. Prosch was a good swimmer..

SUICIDE LAID TO REST IN MT. HOPE
Mrs. Clara Rose Was Formerly Clara Prosch, Linden Ave.
Funeral Held Today
Developed that She Deserted Husband in Kelleher, Wis., Two Months Ago and Then Went to the Windy City.

The remains of Mrs. Clara Rose, formerly Miss Clara Prosch of this city, who committed suicide early Sunday morning in a Chicago hotel, arrived in the city last night, and were taken to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Prosch, 913 Linden avenue. The funeral was held this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the residence. Interment in Mt. Hope.

In the coroner's inquest which was held yesterday in Chicago, it developed that Mrs. Rose had once been happily married, and had everything money could buy. Her husband was a prominent merchant in Kelleher, Wis. Henry Prosch, borther of the deceased, who went to Chicago Sunday night, and was present at the inquest, testified that two months ago his sister left her husband in Wisconsin, and since then the family here had heard nothing from her. The news of her death which was received Sunday by the family here, was a great shock, as her parents did not know she was living in the underworld of Chicago.

They could not believe it at first, and when her brother went to the morgue of the Berz undertaking establishment, 1449 Madison street, Chicago, he immediately identified the remains of his sister. He then telegraphed to his parents to prepare for the funeral. The coroner turned the remains over to the brother after the inquest, and all of her jewels, which are valued at $2,500, were brought to this city.

Mrs. Rose was formerly Miss Clara Prosch, of this city, and was the daughter of a retired farmer. Two months ago she left her husband, a merchant in Kelleher, Wis. Behind the separation was a story of marital infelicity that will probably never be laid bare.

In the home of which she had been mistress was wealth and social position. When she left she sought in drugs and liquor a surcease from memory and that course ended in the Chicago hotel with a bullet.

At the time of her death Mrs. Rose was possessor of about $2,500 worth of jewels and valuable personal effects. These were placed in the hands of the brother, Henry Prosch, and brought here, where they will be held until the estate is settled.

Mrs. Emma Wells, keeper of the private hotel where Mrs. Rose ended her life, said at the coroner's inquest that the woman returned home very early Sunday morning under the influence of liquor and drugs and it is considered that they may have played an important part in the final tragedy.

The family here, who have known the path of misery that their daughter had been treading, and are cast into the deepest grief.

DEAD BY OWN HAND
Mrs. Clara Rose, South of Fulton, Killed Herself in Chicago Hotel Sunday.
From High Social Position to Squalid Room in Eight Weeks is Story of Woman's Life.

Mrs. Clara Rose, formerly residing with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Prosch, on a farm south of Fulton over the Cass county line, committed suicide in Chicago Sunday. Following is the story told by a Chicago paper of Monday:

"In eight short weeks, following her desertion of her husband, a wealthy merchant of Kelleher, Wis., Mrs. Clara Rose fell from a high position in society to a squalid room in a cheap hotel at 1452 West Madison street, where she wrecked her life with morphine and whisky, finally terminating her troubles with a bullet.

"This was the brief story told by the woman's brother at the inquest today. He declared that she was the daughter of Henry Prosch, a retired farmer who lives in Logansport, Ind. When he took the stand he wept as he told of his sister's sudden downfall. His testimony cleared up the mystery of the death, as the woman had diamonds and expensive gowns when she killed herself.

"My sister had everything that money could supply her with,' said the witness. 'Her husband is well off and father would give her everything she asked for. Two months ago she left her husband an since then we heard nothing from her until we read of the death of a mysterious "Mrs. Clara Rose of Logansport," and knew that the suicide was Clara."

"Mrs. Emma Wells, keeper of the hotel where Mrs. Rose killed herself, declared that the woman had plenty of fine clothes and diamonds and that she never suspected that she intended to end her life.

"Mrs. Rose came into the hotel about 2 o'clock Sunday morning and I could see that she had been drinking,' said Mrs. Wells. 'I charged her with being drunk and also told her that I knew that she was taking morphine. She admitted as much and went to her room. I suppose she was despondent over the way she had been acting and that she determined to kill herself.'

"Policeman Schee testified that he had heard that the woman used morphine.

"The jury returned a verdict that the woman committed suicide while despondent and ordered the body turned over to her brother. It will be taken to Logansport for burial."

TRIES SUICIDE WHEN HIS WIFE PROVES UNTRUE
Albert Prosch, 826 Fourteenth Street, Takes Bichloride Albert Prosch, 46, living at 825 Fourtenth street, swallowed a concocition containing bichloried of mercury with suicidal intentions Sunday morning following marital difficulties which led to his wife leaving home. Prosch was reported last night to be getting along nicely with fair chances for recovery even though the poison he took had some three or four grains of the poison in it.
Prosch, who has not been in the best of health, is said to have apprehended his wife in a compromising situation with "the other man" figuring in the case. It is said that he went for a gun and that the wife and her friend disappeared. That was last Saturday.
After grieving over the affair all night, Prosch decided to get himself out of the way altogether. When his condition was learned a short time afterward, Dr. O'Leary was summoned and first aid was given. Bichloride of mercury is a slow poison with the victim in graver danger after the third day but the physician was confident last night his patient would survive the experience.
The wife returned home Sunday night when she learned what Prosch had done, and is caring for him.

Although Albert Prosch, 40, of 825 Fourteenth street, swallowed a mixture containing about four grains of bichloride of mercury he will recover, according to Dr. F.T. O'Leary, the attending physician. The material was taken Sunday moring by Prosch with suicidal intentions, it is said. Ill health and domestic troubles are given as the cause for the action. Prosch is confined to his home and will be unable to be about for several days.
Mrs. Prosch, in conversation over the telephone with this office, today denied that there had been any family trouble and that her husband had attempted to commit suicide. She declared that Mr. Prosch was suffering from a nervous breakdown as the result of illness during the last several months.

As a pre-nuptial solo, Miss Esther Ott sang "Calm as the Night," accompanied by Miss. Thomas Wylie of Berkeley, Cal., as the couple took their place before the fireplace, which was banked with palms and ferns, with a floor basket of gladiolus, roses and delphinium at each end. Mrs. Wylie played a selection from a Chopin nocturne.

The bride was married in her traveling dress of beige crepe and carried a bouquet of bride's roses and delphinium, with sweet peas tied in the shower. A wool coat and horsehair hat to match the dress completed the traveling outfit.

Following the ceremony refreshments were served in the dining room by Miss Katherine Klein and Miss Lillis Lester. The table held a decorated wedding cake, on each side of which was a low floral bouquet set in moss. Ferns were used around the base of the wedding cake. A color scheme of pale pink and blue was carried out in the flowers and table appointment.

A GRAVE DESECRATION STORY, by Marion Flory
Editor of the Press - As someone has mentioned the subject of grave desecration, I thought that the incident herein related would be of some interest to Press readers.

In the summer of 1878 a Miss Lena Krug, a comely maiden, twenty to twenty-five years old, was an employee at the woolen mill situated on the south side of the Wabash opposite Biddle's Island. (At that time there were five mills over there; a grist mill, woolen mill, paper mill, oil mill, and lint and flax mill, working some two hundred men and a few women).

Miss Krug on her way home (which was only a stone throw from the mill) one evening fell into the race and was drowned. The body was recovered and prepared for burial. She was buried in Mount Hope cemetery on the Krug family lot, near where the tall Cheeny monument now stands. In two or three days the grave of Miss Krug was found to have been desecrated by being opened and the body violently taken out. As I remember it the persons taking the body, just dug down from head to waist and inserted a hook attached to a rope, under the chin and tore the body from the grave. The act created great excitement and indignation.

There was at that time several young physicians just out of medical college, each of whom was auspicioned as being guilty. All of these are now dead, for that was more than sixty one years ago. I was seventeen at the time and vividly remember seeing the white slippers that had increased (sic) the feet of Miss Krug.

A rumor had it that the body had been taken to Ann Arbor Medical Institution, to be disected for the benefit of the students. Mr. Krug, the father went thither but found no results. Her body was never recovered.

Very truly yours, Marion Flory, Mexico, Indiana.
