Her body was subsequently removed to the Morgue, where it awaits identification. A bootblack who has a stand on Howard street, near Ninth, was closing up about 6:30 o’clock when he noticed the girl staggering around the corner from Ninth street into Howard. He thought she was under the influence of liquor and turned to watch her as she staggered along in the direction of Eighth street. When about one hundred feet from the corner she clutched at a telegraph pole and with a groan sank to the sidewalk. The boot- black and several citizens went to her ald and raised her to her feet. They dis- covered that her lips were badly swolien and burned and one of tnem asked her if she had taken poison. She was unable to answer and they hurried her to the pharmacy at the corner of Ninth and Howard streets. Dr. A. A, Shaw was summoned and he administered an emetic after giving the dying girl several hypo- dermic injections of stimuiants. A telephone message had been sent to the Emergency Hospital in the meantime and in a very few minutes the ambulance was at the drugstore. Five minutes later the girl was carried into the hospital and the surgeons pronounced her dead. They diagnosed the case as one of car- bolic acid poisoning -and notifled the Coroner. The body was subsequently removed to the Morgue, where a thorough search was made of her clothing, but nothing was found. The sole possessions of the un- fortunate gzirl were a pair of cheap ear- rings—presumably of rolled gold, with an Serve with fruit or cream, Then you will know what imitation turquoise in each and a latch- key. Many people viewed the body dur- ing the night but none of them was able to identify it. The police were notified of the mystery surrounding the girl’s death and detec- tives were detailed on the case. They were unable to make any headway. The bootblack was the only one found who noticed the girl before she fell near the telegraph. pole. All the information he could furnish was that she had turned into Howard street from Ninth, coming from the direction of Mission street. A fruitless search was made along Ninth street in the hope of finding the phial that had contained the poison. People living in the vicinity of Ninth and Howard streets were Inter@ewed but none of them was able to throw any light on the mystery. Those who gathered in the drugstore where the dying girl was taken there, say she was a stranger in the neighborhood. * The deceased was of slight build, light complexfoned, with light brown wavy hair, done up in a braid behind. Her features were regular with the exception that the upper lip was rather short. She wore a blue jacket, lined with red, a red flannel waist, black skirt and a sailor hat with a black band.

POPULAR “NEWSBOY” .IS REMOVED BY DEATH Cripple Who Sold Papers at the Ferry Landing Succumbs to Brain Fever. ‘Within one month the Newsboys' Union will have been called upon to perform the last rites in the case of two of its mem- bers when the funeral of Olsen Holsdrom takes place, probably to-morrow. Hols- drom was a well known ‘newsboy” In this city, his stand being at the ferry. He was 30 years of age and was rendered a cripple by the loss of -his legs. But of all the ‘“newsboys” there was not one more energetic than Olsen Holsdrom, in spite of his infirmity. He resided at 440 Ninth street, where he died yesterday. Brain fever was the immediate cause of his death. Throughout his illness his confreres stood manfully by him adminis- tering to his needs. The same assoclates will now attend to his funeral and they have had the body removed to an under- | Perkins, taker's establishment, where the funeral services will be held. Olsen had no rela- tives in this State, consequently the whole of the arrangements for the obsequies have been placed in the hands of F. J. Leon de Berdni, Robert Wall and Artie Oselenski. —_———— ' Woman Vagrant Arrested.
