Ne Levers Quarrel
She became hysterical when her
mother arrived at the store and was
calling the names of everybody OF
whom she could think.
There was rumor around last
night that the girl had been out
with a young man by name OF Ell
ward Moore and had experienced a
lovers quarrel. This construction
Of a motive for the rash act seems
Ia lack suhstantiation. Moore II a
young man engaged by a local
transportation company and has
only known Daisy Lotion a few
weeks. Last night he casually met
her for n few moments on the street.
when Mrs. Lotion arrived at the
drugstore, Mr.. Huffin and Or. Lowe
had revived the girl. Today she Nv
