MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF
MISS NANNIE PEETE.
Post-Mortem Examination in St.
Louis to Determine Cause of
Death—Mrs. Nevada Costley
Under Arrest—Remains Ta
ken to Batesville.
The remains of the late Miss Nannie
Peete were brought flown from St.
Louis Tuesday night and taken to
Batesville, where the funeral was
held at 4 o’clock Wednesday after
noon. J. R. Steele was called to St.
Louis before her death, having gone
up last week and returned with the
remains.
STORY OF POST-DISPATCH.
Tuesday evening’s Post-Dispatch
states that an inquest was begun at 11
o’clock Tuesday on the Dody of Nancy
L. Peete, 26 years old, who died Mon
day afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Cen
tenary hospital, 2946 Lawton avenue.
The death was reported to the coro
ner and at his request the police ar
rested Mrs. Nevada Costley, a doctor
living at 2841 Franklin avenue.
Miss Peete is well remembered as the
fascinating cashier of the E. J. Ar
nold Turf Investment Company, with
which she was connected up to the
time it suspended business last Feb
ruary.
The young woman also possessed
some ability as an amateur actress
and when Richard Mansfield was
playing “Julius Caesar” in St. Louis
last winter she joined the chorus.
DID NOT LIKE THE STAGE.
She left. St. Louis with Mansfield’s
company, but returned a short time
iater, as life on the road did not suit
her.
It is said the young woman was well
connected, her father being judge of
the circuit bench of Little Rock, Ark.
Her mother, it is said, died several
years ago, and she had no other rela
tives except a sister, Mary Lee Peete,
who until recently made her home in
St. Louis, but several weeks ago ob
tained employment as a demonstrator
for a corset company and went to
Bellville.
Before getting employment witL the
Vrnold company Miss Peete resided at
122 North Garrison avenue. She had
no money at the time and Mrs. Bettie
Hopkins, who conducts a rooming
house at that number, allowed the
young woman to make her home with
her without charge.
“Miss Peete told me she was an or
phan,” said Mrs. Hopkins, “and as
she appeared to be such a lovely girl
I felt sympathy for her and took her
in.”
Miss Peete after leaving Mrs. Hop
kins’ house went to room at 3209
Washington avenue. She remained
there several weeks and then with
her sister mo“ed to 3142 Washington
avenue. Later the two girls rented a
room at 3147 Locust street and re
mained there until a few weeks ago.
TAKEN TO CENTENARY HOSPITAL.
Nancy went to the Centenary hos
pital a week ago. She was taken in
there on the advice of a physician to
whom she had applied for treatment
after being attended by Mrs. Costley. I
While Arnold was in tne neyaey or
his success and was employing only
the best looking women he could find,
Miss Peete occupied the important
position of cashier with his firm.
MRS. COSTLEY SAYS IT WAS ACCIDENT.
At the inquest, which was conduct
ed by Deputy Coroner BoOgher, Mrs.
Oostley denied that she performed an
operation on Miss Peete, and claimed
that the girl’s death resulted from an
accident which occurred in the Cost
ley home during Mrs. Costley’s ab
sence.
Dr. John J. Hoffman, the physician
who ordered Miss Peete removed to
the hospital, stated that he found her
suffering from the effects of an opera
tion which she told him had been per
formed by Mrs. Costley.
The ante-mortem statement of Miss
Peete was that she bad paid Mrs.
Costley $25 to perform an operation,
and that the latter had done so.
Mabel, the 16 year-old daughter of
Mrs. Costley, whom, the latter testi
fied, she left at home in charge of
Miss Peete while she (Mrs. Costley)
visited the summer garden, was
wanted to testify, but it was stated
that she was in Raymond, 111., on a
visit. Mrs. Costley was requested to
send for the girl and the inquest was
continued until Wednesday morning
at 10 o’clock.
Miss Mary Peete, sister of the dead
girl, testified that Nancy told her that
I Mrs. Costley performed the opera
tion.
Mrs. Costley is still in the custody
of the police.
J. S. Wilmans, Gustave Jones, James
Bate of Louisville, 8. D. Campbell

fishing on Gamble Lake and were

FRISCO WILL BUILD
MEMPHIS-NEW ORLEANS LINE.
St. Louis, June 30.—It has been an
nounced on the authority of Captain
Hinckley, chief engineer, that the
Frisco will at once resume work on
the line between Memphis and New
Orleans, which was located some time
since. The calling in of the surveying
party early in June, which gave rise
to the report that the work of build
ing the line had been abandoned, was
on account of the high water, which
of course made it impossible for work
to continue with any degree of satis
faction. Capt. Hinckley further
stated that engineering work will
proceed just as soon as the waters of
the Mississippi have receded suffi
ciently to allow the surveying parties
to make progress.
A meeting of the directors of the
New Orleans and San Francisco Rail
road Company will be held in New
Orleans tomorrow for the purpose of
deciding upon some amendments to
the charter of the corporation in
Louisiana and to change the name to
the “Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis &
New Orleans Railroad Company.”
The stockholders of the Memphis &
New Orleans Railway Company will
meet later for a similar purpose. The
Frisco, it will be seen, will certainly
build its line to the Gulf, all reports to
the contrary notwithstanding.
DANCE AT HAZEL.
Quite a party of young people en
joyed a dance in the dining hall of the
Hazel Tuesday evening, given in
honor of Miss Della Bernstein, and
thought the evening was extremely
warm, this did not interfere with the
pleasure of the dancers.
Those present were Misses Noreene
Kinman, Mary and Hilda Bailey, Irma
Hooker, Amanda Laird, Laura Nun
nally, Hester Phillips, Neill Bandy,
Della Bernstein, Lou Lawrence of
Batesville, Laura Randolph of Austin,
Texas, Lucy Brandenburg, May Ward,

DROPPED OVER TABLE DEAD.
Rafe McLain, a negro about thirtj
five years of age, who has worked a*
porter at the Lesser Cotton Company’s
office for several years and was taker
on the annual trip of the Sister Lucj
club, dropped dead across the table or
the Joe Wheeler Tuesday evening ai
6:15 o’clock, while the boat was tier
up at Clover Bend. The remains wer<
brought here on No. 11 Wednesday
morning for interment.
A stroke of apoplexy caused hii
death and it is reliably reported tha
one of the club members was telling i
funny story, which caused Rafe t(
almost explode with laughter with th<
above result.
At the gun club shoot Tuesday
afternoon the following scores weri
made: Bowen 21, Mosby 21, Sim
rnons 19, Owen 17, Graham 17.

PORCH PARTY AT
PROGRESSIVE FLINCH.
Miss Lucy Brandenburg instituted a
new method of entertaining Wednes
| day morning, in a flinch party upon
the long porch of the Brandenburg
residence on Third street. The cool
ness of the early morning hours, en
durable at least in comparison with
those of the afternoon, and the pretty
surroundings, for vines and over
hanging trees made the porch quite a
den of greenery and held in check old
Sol’s shafts, made the affair, which
was in compliment to Mrs. W. D.
Cobb of Jonesboro, a very enjoyable
as well as novel social event.
With six tabl98 of flinch, interest
was not allowed to lag and the serving
of dainty refreshments, consisting of
ice cream, cakes and olives completed
a very pleasant morning affair.
The hostess was assisted in receiv
ing by Miss Ray Brandenburg, Mes
dames C. H. Wilmans and Harry
Brandenburg, and in serving the re
freshments by Misses Noreene Kin
man and Mary Bailey.
The guests present were Mesdames
W. A. BillingBley, R. M. Jphnson, O.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
I -
Exter Gentry, the young girl from
Augusta, who is confined in the coun
ty jail, sent up from Tupelo for car
! rying a revolver, tells a story of her
arrest and trial, which if true, consti
tutes a serious reflection upon the
justice of the Tupelo magistrate’s
court before whom she was tried.
The girl seems somewhat simple
! minded and has apparently had her
first experience in court. She claims
that with her sister, she drove from
Augusta to Tupelo after her brother
in-law’s child and that she carried the
revolver in the buggy for protection
and would have left it there, except
for fear it would be stolen.
The jail is filled with male negroes
and few white men and no women
should be incarcerated there on any s
trivial charge or without a fair hear
ing- '
NEGRO CUT ANOTHER.
Mose Reiney, a negro, who came
here from Augusta about three weeks
ago, gave himself up to the officers
Tuesday afternoon and was placed in
jail.
He claims that another negro, Joe
Vandyke, who has been a waiter at
, the Hazel, stole some money and
clothes from his grip and assaulted
him when he tried to reoover them.
, Vandyke was badly cut about the arm
and shoulder, but his injuries are not
t fatal.
