Body of Young Woman is Found in Bottom of Canal
Columbia, Oct. 29---The body of Miss Elizabeth Beamguard, York County girl, who committed suicide here because of a tragic disappointment in love, was found in the Columbia canal at the gates where the canal pours into the Congaree river early this morning, after city and county officials had dragged the canal for three days.
Miss Beamguard was employed as a telephone operator at the state hospital and last Monday afternoon she disappeared, after telling the head woman doctor at the hospital of her trouble. Later a note was found in which she said that when the missive was received she would be in the bottom of the river. Late that afternoon she was seen with a young man near the head of the canal and later her hat was found. Police are hunting for the young man who, the young lady said, had refused to marry her.
