The reporter who visited the home OF
| Miss Gertrude Kelly, on hearing of her
attempted suicide came into possession
Of a rather romantic story, which was
referred to recently. Miss Kelly seems to
have been deeply in love with the young
man Chase, who took his own life about
two years ago. and she has evidently
never recovered from the loss. Her
mother showed the attending physician
and the reporter into the parlor and
pointed to large picture standing on
an easel in the corner. THAT is his pict-
ure." she said My daughter has had
it enlarged and treasures it highly" The
picture showed the features of a good
looking young man whose sad fate is
doubtless remembered by many citizens.
why did you attempt suicide?" asked
the physician of Miss Kelly. Because
1 am tired and Disguised" she replied.
Il do not think life is worth living" Did
you and young Chase have an agree
ment to kill yourselves" he again asked.
NO" she replied. Miss Kelly is
bright-faced girl, well-proportioned, and
would attract attention anywhere

indictments. the states attorneys were
in doubt. and to remove possibility Of
defeat before the trial proper of the
case, they caused new ones to be issued.
The attorneys now give assurance that
they have indictments so framed as TO

About three miles north Of Cheru-
busco, Ind, dwellS a farmer who has a
farm composed of prairie land. \ few !
years ago he stocked it with raZOr-back
hogs, letting them run and not even
looking after them until six months
ago when he concluded To go and drive
them To market. lie was surprised to
find the yield SO enormous and when he
approached them he found them so wild
that they could not be dOmesticated |
They We're also very poor and he con-
eIuded TO feed them for the market. The
more he fed them the thinner they be-
came. In less than six months they have
consumed 400 bushels Of corn and to-
day they are as lean as church mice
They will not even make good soap
grease. The flesh of these hogs RESENT /
bles horse flesh. 1t is as tough as coon |
skin. and large sized hog of this spe-
cies rendered would not make grease
enough to fry skillet Of batter cakes.
They go through the garden like a
shovel pillow, and vegetable escapes
them They can crawl through a crack
that would hardly admit mouse, and
their sharp noses act as levers for gar
den gates. The neighbors i'm that part
are swearing vengeance and unless he
kills them off war will probably be de-
