A GIRLS SAD PLIGHT
JEALOUS LOVER THRUST A REyOLv-
Err INTO HER FACE.
She Tainted and for Three Week Has
Been Insane-Her rawlings Pitiable
and Heartrending.

One of the most pitiable cases Of insanity
ever passed upon by a commission in the
Marion county court came up yesterday
morning. 1t was the case OF Carrie 4. Short,
the sixteen-year-old daughter of George w.
Short, a prominent farmer Of Johnson
county. The unfortunate young woman is
at present with her sister, Mrs. Isaac Brown,
Of 162 Lee avenue. West indianapolis.
The girl is violently insane, and will be
committed to the asylum as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made. She is
the victim Of a foolharly act Of a jealous
lover, according to the statement OF DR..
Walter Smith, the physician who attended
her in West indianapolis. The trouble which
drove her mad happened about three weeks
ago at her home near Greenwood. The young
man, who figures prominently in the case,
had been paying her attentions for a long
time. and, as 1t appears, was very jealous of
her. One evening she accepted the invitation
OF another young mara nesgh5or-to go to
church and started out with him. On the
way they met the girls admirer, who seemed
considerably put cut at the sight Of his rival
and importuned the girl TO leave the young
man and go with him. This Miss Short de-
clined to do. and abruptly left her discom-
flied lover. She spent the evening with the
rival. and returned home about 10 o'clock.
She had been in the house but a few min
utes when there came a rap at the door, and
she FASTENED to open 1t. Her JEALOUSY lover
stood on the step. and the instant the door
swung back he thrust a revolver into her
face. Miss Snort screamed and slammed the
door. When found she was unconscious and
remained in that condition for three hours.
When she finally revived she was very nerv-
Gus, ard it Was apparent that the shock had
affected her mind. DR.. Smith says the young
