 Little Johnnie Baker of 65 North Riverside street almost had his nose
 broken yesterday by being struck by

 when some boy who was standing on l the tracks of the Highland division was possessed with the spirit of devil l try, threw a stone at him, which l struck him on the nose. If the stone had hit the boy half inch higher, it I would no doubt have knocked out his l eye. As it was, Dr Deliguori placed three stitches in gash on the boys nose.
 The fruit fend occupies an equal Il position on the roll of dishonor with the flower fiend. Both are common nuisances and they are not few in
 numbers. It is too bad that few of them are not captured and rewarded
 with a heavy jail sentence for the
 many acts of depreciation which they \ have committed. People in all sec
 tions of the town suffer at their ll hands. MT Latus of North Leonard
 street is the possessOr of several pear
 trees, which are loaded with fine 7, pears. Several boys attempted to un- l load the tree of it's burden without j the consent of the owner. The latter's Il brother. however, saw them and at- Istempted to catch one of them, but was I unsuccessful. 1t is fortunate for the I young boys that he didn't. This prac- I tice of stealing fruit and flowers is be- I coming altogether too common.
 Mrs Catherine Sachs committed l suicide last night at her home, o95 l North Riverside street. by swallowing
 a dose of carbolic acid According to I her husbands testimony she had att 1 tempted to kill herself twice before l since they were married, few months ago.

They quar- | reled good deal and had family I row before the woman committed the I rash act, which resulted in her hus- l band going out and having a few 1 drinks When he returned the woman l was in the bedroom. but she opened 1t I as soon as she heard him. Later the | family that lives in the same. building I extended the couple an invitation to 1 go out and join in a little party they l were having. Sachs says he told his l wife to go out and enjoy herself with I the neighbors She made what he Il door. which he soon after discovered to be grab for a small vial, and drank the contents. Sachs realized what she had done and lost no time in reaching Walkers drug store. In rhe 1 meantime the woman went out to tie neighbors and asked for Il drink of | water. After drinking the water she
 became unconscious and never rallied. | MT Walker hastened to the house and did all in his power to assist her. Dr Russell and Dr De LigGurl were also on hand shortly after but the efforts of the druggist and physicians failed I to stay the ravages of the acid. She died about 9 o'clock.
