AGED WOMAN
FOUND DEAD
Mrs. Adam Showers Com.
mits Suicide.
Hung Herself This Morning
in an Outbuilding Near
Her Home on North Gen.
tire Street.

Mrs. Adam Showers was found dead
shortly after o'clock this morning in a
stable at the rear of her home on North
Centre street.
For some months past Mrs. Showers
had been unwell. She was of a mean-
choly disposition, and since the death Of
her infant child last summer she had
brooded constantly over her ailments.
Upon several occasions she informed
her friends that she would soon die, and
to many the news this morning that she
had committed suicide by hanging was
no surprise.
The family physician, DR.. Portser,
called this morning at the Showers
home, while making his daily visit to
his patients. The children informed
him that their mother had been out
nearly two hours.
They thought she was in some neigh
boris house aud began calling at the
residences she occasionally visited
While on her way to Ridge street
house the eldest daughter stepped in to
pass through the stable at the rear of
the lot
There she found the object of her
search hanging from a cross-beam.
Life was extinct when Drs. Portser
and Rutter reached the body, and the
remains presented an awful sight. The
face was black from strangulation and
blood was oozlng from the nostrlls and
mouth.
The table-cloth which had served at
the breakfast meal was tied to the
beam, and to this was knotted two
towels, one of which was attached to a
piece of hemp-rope, which served as a
moose around her neck.
A baby's high-chair, taken from the
house, was used to stand upon while ad-
justng the knot When her prepara-
tions were completed she pushed the
high-chair aside, fell the length of the
towel and slowly strangled to death.
Chief of Police O'Donnell was sum
moned and took charge of the premises.
Coroner Bowman was notified at Haz-
Teton from the Tribune Office and in
structed Squire Buckley to take charge
of the body until his arrival.
Adam Showers, the husband of the
unfortunate woman, was at work in
Halle Brook No. mine, and message
was sent to him to come home.
Upon his arrival at the surface he
called up the Tribune Office and asked
what was the trouble. He was in
formed and later he instructed Under
taker Bresih to cut down the body and
prepare it for buria His wishes were
complied with at 11.S0 o'clock.
Coroner Bowman arrived here at .
o'clock this afternoon and after ac-
quainting himself with all the circum-
stances of the case decided that no in
quest was necessary.
Mrs. Showers was aged 81 years and
with her husband had resided in town
for several years. She is survived by a
family of seven children.
The funeral will take place at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Interment
at st. AIMS cemetery.

THEAT RICAL.

The next attraction at the Grand will
be Fitz & Webster's newest "a
Breezy Time" The adjective that is
included in the title of the farce comedy
ga Breezy Time" fifty indicates the
nature of the production. 1t has been
the purpose of the author to make the
performance breezy; simply refreshing
enough to revive jaded minds, and not
cause the minds to sit in a draft, so to
speak. The company includes 20 of the
cleverest farceurs in the profession,
each having been selected to exactly fit
the role he or she may be cast for.
