ANNA NORRIS.
The story of Poor, Misguided, and
Betrayed Girl.
She FIees From Home to Hide Her
Shame--Shunned by All, She
Attempts Suicide.

Last evening, girl, or rather a young
woman, was found sitting on the steps of
the Harper House She was suffering
terribly, and asked passer-by for glass
Of water She soon went into spasms,
and was taken Into Marshall & Fishers
drug store. A hack was called, and she
was removed to the Armory. and placed
in the women's department, and Drs.
Craig, Carter and Eyster called. She was
far advanced in pregnan cy, and il was
evident that she would soon become a
mother The doctors were of the opinion
that she had either attempted suicide, or
was suffering from drug taken to re-
lieve her of her trouble. An emetic was
given, which relieved her stomach of the
drug, and restored her reasoning faculties
As soon as she was able to talk, she told
her story.
Her name, she said, was Anna Morris,
and her home in GeneseO. Her father
died about two months ago and her
mother when she was child. Samuel
Wagner, a Geneseo youth, had accom-
plished her ruin, and then left for parts
unknown. She worked for the family OF
Mr.. Dinwiddy, of that town, until last
week Yesterday morning she left Gen
eseo for Rock Island. Before she left
that place she went to drug store and
Purchased half ounce of drug, which
she heard would produce abortion. After
she arrived in Rock Island she walked
nearly all over the city seeking for work,
but at every place she inquired she re
ceived disheartening no" Night came,
and still no place She wandered down
on Second avenue, to the Harper House.
She became disheartened. and thought
there was no use to try to struggle
against fate. She took the bottle con
tainIng the drug. and drained i of its
last drop The dose was a terrible one.
and if medical aid had not been sum
moned quickly it would have fulfilled the
poor girls desire for death.
She suffered terribly all night There
was no one at the station to care for heI
but the doctors and police, and it was the
slme way to-day. She was suffering
pain all day. The attending ply.
stefan is of the opinion that the child
will soon be born 1t is shame that the
poor girl should be kept at the police
station in her critical condition; and it is
still more of shame that no woman has en-.
tered her room When it is understood
that she took half an ounce of drug OF
which fifteen drops is large dose, it Can
be imagined what terrible shock heI
system, in its present condition, under
went. She will. in all probability, moi
live through the ordeal before her.
Late this afternoon she was resting
easy, and was asleep.

AMOUSE IN COURT.

During a recent murder trial in Carson,
New, the monotony of the jury room
was MUCH relieved by the antics of q
mouse The mouse seems to have been a
constant attendant upon the trial, and
when the lawyers got up to crate would
come out of his hole about half length
and listen atten lively. When the crowd
would go out and leave the room 10 the
jury the mouse would skip up on the ia
bic and take his rations along with the
rest. He became a great pet with the
jury, and now the Sheriff has adopted
him, and will see that the rest of his days
are made comfortable and happy
