TIRED OF LIFE, MRS, LOWE COM
MITS SUICIDE.
She Wants Nobody Blamed But
Herself and Leaves a Little
Son and a Heartbrok-
en- Husband.

MY mamma is dead! My mamma is
dead"
These were the pitiful words uttered by
little seven year old Richard Lowe, as he
ran about on the streets in frantic
manner yesterday afternoon, calling for
help for his mother who was in bed and
frothing at the mouth.
Mrs. Lowe is the wife OF Daniel Lowe,
hostler, and they reside at No. 4l3 North
Pecos street.
She had been washing yesterday and in
the afternoon complained of severe
headache, TO which, 1t is said, she was sub
feet. Mrs. Rice, a neighbor, told her to
20 20 bed-that she would prepare supper
for her husband. This was a little after
four o'clock and Mr.. Lowe was expected
for supper about seven.
Mrs. Lowe followed the advice OF her
kind neighbor, and short while after
wards Richard, who had been playing
about in the yard, went into the house to
see what was the matter with his
mother. She seemed 10 him fast
asleep, but was foaming at the
mouth, and the poor little fellow ran out
and called in the neighbors.
1t was nearly seven o'clock when a
DOCTOR was SuuUOutu. III Appl6"ulIe
arrived a little after seven and began
work on her Immediately. He applied
his battery to her until DR.. Won Koehring,
the family physician, arrived, when he
left, leaving the battery in charge of
the family physician. DIR. Won Koehring
worked on her until after eleven o'clock,
when she began sinking rapidly and all
hope for her was lost.
A telegram was sent to Seguin, where
L.
tiveS arrived this morning.
When Mr.. Lowe, who is quite big
man, came home from work and saw the
condition of his wife he burst into tears
and wept bitterly.
telegram was sent to Seguin, where
she has relatives and her parents reside
at New Berlin. Their name is Hellmann,
and her maiden name was Alice He'll
mann. She was 30 years of age at the
time of her death and had resided here
six years.
Her little son, Richard, was taken to
the house of August WoeiZ, on North
Pecos street, where he spent last night.

about Ills.
