Sad Case

obu SunC
POMONA, Aug. Mrs. Maggie May
nard Baughman, wife of Chauncey NJ.
Baughman, in the employ of Messrs.
Lorbeer & Carter, the hay and grain
dealers, committed suicide this morning.
She was 20 years of age, and today car
ried out a threat made during the past
week, of taking her life. Rising shorty
after o'clock this morning, she nursed
her 5-months-old baby boy, and, maxi
ing the remark, Mother, have given
baby enough to last him all day."
stepped out of doors into the closet in
the back yardxWhere she took the pois-
on, and, returning into the house, put
her arms around her mother and her
baby, which her mother was holding,
and drawing her husband to her with
ore arm, related what she had done.
Mrs. Maynard screamed: "Chauncey,
Maggie has taken poison; run for the
doctor"
Mrs. Baughman's hands were tightly
clinched, and Mrs. Maynard asked what
it was that she was holding in her hand
and If she would not give 1t up. Mrs.
Baughman replied: mo, mother; for
/ am afraid that you might take some of
it, too, but I'll give 1t to Chauncey."
Mother" continued Mrs. Baughman,
II meant to take baby with me, but I
am going to leave him to comfort you.
When DR.. Burr arrived on the scene he
did all that could POSSIBLY be done to

were of no avail, Mrs. Baughman dying
in spasins about an hour after she had
taken the poison.
Raughman and his wife were married
last September, and some six months or
more afterward baby boy was born to
them, and it is alleged that this has been
source of trouble between them,
Baughman at one time, it iA alleged,
doubling his wife's faithfulness because
the child's eyes were not blue.

years past, and that her mind had been
intent upon suicide. and that she has
frequently made threats to take her life
during several years past. The jury
verdict was that deceased came to her
death by administering strychnine with
suicidal intent. The evidence as given
showed that harmonious relations had
always existed between deceased and
her husband, and that this morning de-
ceased had thrown her arms around her
husbands neck, with the remark: God
bless you; you have always been SO
good and kind, and have never spoken
harsh word to me. 1 hate to leave you
and baby" The elder Mrs. Maynard

| SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 1.-THE big
Touring mills owned and operated at
Cotton by ]. V. Suman are to be moved
to this city. The announcement is one
of the most important to the business
interests of this town which has been
made in many days. The mills employ
a number of men, and the location here
means the moving of several families.
as we'll as a substantial increase to the
commerce of San Bernardino.
The building at Cotton consists of a
four-story structure, and this is to be
removed in sections and located at the
corner of Fourth and B streets, at the
site of the Fredericks water power. In
addition a fine Office building will be
built on the opposite corner, and the
enterprise will represent an investment
running into the thousands.
AN ESTATE LOOTED
No small amount of public interest is
just now centered in the Office of Public
Administrator Taylor, on account of
the extravagant method of settling up
an estate.
When Michael Hayes died at the. Sis
ters' hospital in October of last year, he
left an estate which consisted of money
in the bank xD~lhe amount of $312O. On
November Public Administrator Tay-
lOT was duIHOTlZeu ny tilc coulI W du-
minister on the estate. Early in May
Mr. Taylor prepared his final report,
and. in brief, it showed that it had cost
$1,000 for Michael Hayes to die, to be
buried, and to have his estate settled.
Out of the estate of S3120 cash in the
bank. according to the report, there re-
manned $3.50.
The money was spent in all sorts of
ways, for Hayes died practically out of
debt His funeral cost nearly $500, and
other charges have been in proportion.
The claims We're all legal, in the sense
that the articles furnished We're of the
value assigned. but there was TO rea-
son that such expense should have been
incurred. When the estate came into
the hands of the administrator 1t was
thought that Hayes left no heirs. but
it subsequently developed that he did,
but too late to save half Of the estate.

ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge. that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
