one of the age of twenty-five and the other
about thirty, were seen driving through the
streets of the city at breakneck rate Of
speed. They had evidently been mixing

were in the condition described by Bill Nye
when he said that Mrs. Langtry's husband
was "a talented rum tank painted black,
with red-headed cussedness." The horse
they were driving was covered with mud
and sweat and laboring hard with exhaus-

concluded to arrest them, and while en-.
deavoring to do so pursued them across the
Rhine and to the door Of Mrs. Jaeger's no.

ease that distracted his MUD, but it was not
thought that he was in danger of taking his
life. His father had the care of him most
of the time and they made their headquar-
tiers at Dr. Frank Stevens Office. Friday
morning while Mr.. A. Ell. Stevens stepped
over to the post Office to mail letter, his
son seized the opportunity to end his life,
which he accomplished by taking carbolic
acid. The terrible poison must have
caused him fearful suffering, as he went in
to spasms Immediately aud died within an

most strenuous efforts to save him or relieve
his sufterings, but to no avail. His funeral
occurred Sunday morning at Ii o'clock,
