Town Chit Chat.
Henry Lyons and Miss Maggie Sullivan
were married in the municipal court by
Judge Nethaway, May %. Miss Sullivan
gave birth to fine large baby boy, which
she claimed belonged to Lyons, about two
months before the marriage. This is why
they were married. At the time of the
birth of the child Lyons was up the river
He was notified and said that he would
marry and live with the girl if he was not
arrested, but would never live with her if
he was. He returned from up the river the
early part of May. An interview was had
between the two young people and Lyons
promised to marry her in few days. The
ruined girl and her widowed mother waited
for three weeks and still Lyons failed to
show up. On May 81 warrant was
issued for him and they were
united in marriage by Judge Meth
away. Chief of Police Shortall and
Court Officer McKusick acted as attendants.
Shortly after the marriage Lyons left for
unknown parts. Three weeks later word
was received here that he had suicided by
drowning himself in Canada town, at
which place he had been stopping and act
letter was received here from Henry
Kurch, bingham, Me-, stating that Lyons
was there, and was connected with a tan
merry, that he was doing well, and that if
he had deserted his wife at Saltwater he
had good reasons for doing the same.
Articles appeared in all the papers about
himself and the girl. This, together with
the shame brought on her, worried her
until she decided to kill herself Last
evening shortly after 6 o'clock,
after reading an item in an al
legged evening paper about Lyons and
herself, she tore the paper into shreds and
gave Margie Keene, her little niece, cents,
directing her to purchase laudanum with it.
The little girl purchased the laudanum at
SCOTS drug store and gave it to her aunt.
never supposing that she intended to kill
herself with it, She sent the little girl out
of the room and swallowed the contents Of
the bottle, a half-ounce vial. Miss Sulli-
van was found lying on the floor short
time afterwards in Semi-cOnScious condi-
ton. A physician was summoned, who
pronounced it case of poison, and applied
stomach pump several times. AT o'clock
she was out OF danger. The would-be sui
eide is daughter of Mrs. Catherine, wife
of the late James Sullivan, and resides with

alley. She is young lady of twenty sum-
mers, rather tall, with blue eyes and au.

quite a sensation.
