Mrs Annie b. Schoheld, the wife OF Mark
W. Schoheld a well known civil engineer and
member Of the firm of Cushing a. Schoheld'
81 Westminster street, attempted to commit
suicide yesterday afternoon.
Early Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Schoheld
appeared on the road near the Cowesset sra
ton She was acting strangely and seemed
10 be walking aimlessy mp and down the road
Several persons noticed her, but she paid no
attention 20 them. Shortly before l o'clock a
fruit dealer from Attention saw the strange
woman fall suddenly 10 the ground. He at
once went 90 her assistance and carried her TO
the house of Mrs Gilbert Matteson. DIR. Car
penter of East Greenwich was summoned, and
when he arrived hs found that she was suffer
ing from the effects uf poison. As AN emetic
that had been given was already working
effectively, he waited until the woman had

Mrs Schofeld evidently had no intention
that her identity should be discovered, but
papers found in her possession told who she
| was and her husand was immediately notified
| by telephone. Two empty two-ounce bottles,
| each labelled "chloroform," and marked
| s'poison" were also found in her pocket, the
| labels showing that one had come rom
| Smiths drug store In Olneyville square and
| the other from Darcy's drug store ON West

Later il was discovered that Mrs. Schofielt
had been living in the family of James H.
| Walch Of Johnston and that for come time
past they had been aware that she was on TIT
verge OF nervous prostration, which, they be
lieyed, was caused by worrying over The dis
| agreement which she had had with her nus
band In relation to financial matters. Las
| week she issued writ for the arrest OF he
husband on the charge OF non-support. Tues
dnv the case was heard in the sixth Distric
Court and Mr. Schofleld was discharged as nc

Death to Sheep.

Lander Clipper: Mr. j. w. Moore
tells of a strange piece of country
which is located near his ranch on
Bridger creek. This piece of country in
the winter time when the weather is
freezing and thawing, is sure death to
sheep. In the summer time it does not
affect them. 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Moore that the soil Of this land con-
tains arsenic and anthony and that
sheep are killed from drinking surface
water which runs from this poisoned
ground.
That there is such a piece of country
was discovered by Mr.. Moore IL years
ago, when he lost some 400 head of
sheep. At various times since then diff
ferent sheep owners have gone over
this same ground, and as consequence
have lost number of sheep, among
them being Tom Hood, who lost 40 head,
L. c. Morrison go head, L. ]. Rice rs
head, and two weeks ago Bower Bros.
lost 800 head and Gus Johnson 125 head
This place is described as being in q
gulch that puts into sand gulch which
puts into Bridger creek near the Moore
ranch. Mr.. Moore intends to try to find
the exact source of the poison and have
the soil analysed. Awaiting such time
as this can be done and the place
marked he warns sheepmen to steer
clear of this locality.
