SHE WANTED TO DIE.
Love Lorn Maid of Commercial Street
ESSAYS Suicide.


One of Beach e Bowers minstrels was
the cause of an attempt at suicide on
Commercial street last night Kittie,
who is a light haired denizen of one of
the best known houses on the street,
because of financial difficulties and the
departure of the minstrel company,
took an antiseptic tablet about 10
O'Clock last evening and had very
narrow escape from death. DR.. Mac
lean succeeded in saving her life.
Kittie, whose other and true name is
unknown, belongs in Salt Lake She
has father and mother and other rel
atives here. Some days ago when
Beach & Bowers combination reached
town she and a woman friend of hers
met two men OF the company. They
spent much time together and visited
the show nearly every night. The man
whom Kittie met is not known, but he
sang a song entitled "All Alone" and
occupied the third chair from the left
side of the stage in the circle. When
he left she was desolate for she had
formed a strong attachment for him
Then Kittie had other difficulties. She
is quite heavily in debt to her landlady
and has been unable to pay all her
expenses. Her family is very poor and
this also worried her. Breeding over
these difficulties she tried to end her
life by taking a tablet of bichloride of
mercury.
The unfortunate woman was discov-
cred few minutes after she had taken
the poison by another of the girls in
the house. DR.. Maclean was sent for
at once. He gave the woman power
ful emetics and succeeded in having
her vomit the poison. She was resting
easy at O'clock this morning and will
doubtless recover.

JOHN SPARKS OF NEVADA
PAYS $500 FOR ONE COW
Well Known Western Stockman Causes a Sensation at
Kansas Cit". p

Miss Armour Rose is going to leave
Kansas City. Her new home will be at
Reno, New, on the broad acres of John
Sparks, who owns many hundreds of
her family. Kansas City has been good
to the young lady and she is reluctant
to leave the town where she aided in
building its great Convention hall, and
her old companions at the Meadow
Park farm, but there is some consola-
ton to her in the fact that it required
$500 to take her away, the highest
price ever paid for Hereford miss.
The sale at the national Hereford
show at the stock yards this morning
was sensational. The rainfall all the
morning had kept some people away,
but the arena was packed. For an hour
other cattle were sold. Some of them
brought good prices. Thomas Morti-
mer, the representative of Marshall
Field of Chicago, bought a yearling
from Sunny Slope for $775. Others went
above $500, but everybody was talking
of Armour Rose and what she would
bring. There was a rumor that Frank
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-30

Rockefeller, who is represented at the
sale, wanted her and would pay a big
price. Mr.. Mortimer, who manages
Marshall Fields great Hereford farm
at Madison, Neb., came last night. He
had given Armour Rose a careful and
thorough inspection and it was known
that he would bid for her.
John Sparks had said nothing, but he
took some pride in the fact that he was
showing the heaviest bull in the big
show and sale. Sparks has hundreds of
pure-blood Herefords on his farm in
Nevada. and he paid the highest price
at yesterdays sale, $3.50, for a young
bull sold by George Leigh of Aurora,
H., one of the biggest cattle breeders
in the United States Leigh was getting
ready TO bid and John Hooker of New
London, o., who had thus far taken
five prizes on cattle he is showing, said:
4 guess I'll keep out. 1t will be a
millionaire's race and she'll go to
$780,
When Armour Rose came into the
ring there were so many people inside
the ropes that seats had to be brought
in and two rows of extra seats were
extended the whole length of the arena.

Washington, Oct. 29.-An understand

expected that negotiations will be
opened soon at Madrid for a new treaty
between the United States and Spain
This will be the last step toward COM
pletely restoring the friendly relations
between the two countries.

treaty out of existence, and the only

The present condition is quite anom-

persons could be extradited from one
country to the other. or for the deter
minaticn of any commercial difference
which might arise. Fortunately, there
has been no case occasfoning serious
