IO.-The mystery of tho sudden disappearance last Thursday of Miss Myrtle Haw kins, of Hendersoiiville, aged 17 and I remarkably pretty, the daughter of a prominent family, was apparently deepened this morning when her dead body was found lion ting in the waters of Lako Osceola, three miles from Hendersonvllle. I The discovery was made by three small boys who were llshlug in the lake. Heep bruises on the hoad and face gave rise to the suspicions of foul play, which, however, did not materialize at the coroner's Inquest this afternoon when a verdict, of "death by means unknown" was ren dered. Miss Hawkins, who was the daugh ter of W. H. Hawkins, a jeweler of Hendersonvllle. left her home last Thursday to do somo shopping. She never returned. Despito the most rigid search no trace of her was ob tained until this morning when the body was found in a badly decom posed condition. lt ls stated that certain evidence indicates that the girl was dead be fore ber body had reached the lake. Reports from Hendersonvllle to night are to the effect that later de velopments may prove the death of the young girl to be one of tho most sensational tragedies in the history of the State. Lake 'Osceola fronts Lake View Inn ami M i banks are traversed dally by h. ul reds of car riagts and motor cars. Accounts Conflict. Asheville, Sept. ll.-The theory of suicido is now disregarded in the Unding of (he body of Miss Myrtle Hawkins in Osceola Lake. The general belief now is that the girl was brutally murdered and sus picion is centering upon a man whose trail is hoing hotly followed. Indi cations piont to tho fact that she was murdered, but not robbed or assaulted. The condition ol' tho body shows that life was extinct when placed in the water and that it could not have been there many hours. It is said that opposition existed to Myrtle's approaching marriage to a young business man of Johnson City, Tenn. LJelioving she had eloped with him, her parents, lt is said, dis liking publicity, instituted a search on this theory without asking the aid of officers. While the body was in a horrible state of decomposition, there were no bruises on the body, but there were evidences of chloroform having been used to bring about her death. Attacks School Principal. A severe attack on school princi pal, Chas. B. Allen, of Sylvania, Ga., is thus told by him: "For more than three years," he writes, "I suffered Indescribable torture from rheuma tism, liver and stomach trouble and diseased kiddys. All remedies fail ed till I used Electric Bitters, but four bottles of this wonderful rem edy cured me completely." Such results are common.
