CRIME IN QUEENSLAND.

MURDER SUSPECTED

BRISBANE, Juno 11. The body of Louise Bade, aged 18, was fo\n:d on tho Ipswich-Rose wood road ytsterday in circumstances that suggest foul play. She went to bed on Wednesday night, but yesterday morning it was found that liqr bed had not been slept in. It was surmised that she had kept an appointment jivith someone. She . had . viciously inflicted deep wounds on the back of the head, and over one eye. She lay faco downwards on a little sandy track surrounded on aIL sides by. thick bush. She was dressed in ordinary working clothes, without stockings, though wearing shoes. She did not wear a hat,-but in her hand . was clutched a little woollen cap. Broken pieces af bottle were found nearby,- but it was considered that they had nothing to do with the tragedy. The girl was bright and -spirited, well known, and well-liked in the district. When day broke to-day. detectives and a black-tracker discovered signs of a struggle about 20 feet away from where Louise Bado’s body was found on the side of the lonely road, about two miles east of the farming centre of Ebenezer, mile -miles from Ipswich. The Bade family lias resided at Ebenezer for many years. Blood stained leaves ,and twigs were found where-the-struggle had taken place. Otherwise 'there appears so far to be no clue.
