The SAD DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN.
She Was Found Dead In Her Bed at the Taafero Home
al White Oaks.

According to the Nogal Republican,
Kitty Buford an 1S-year-old girl Of
White Oaks committed suicide last
Saturday by taking carbolic acid. The
White Oaks Eagle, however, tells
different and undoubtedly more truth
full tale 1t says: When the family at
the Taliaferro home sat down to break
fast on Sunday morning, Kitty Buford,
the niece of Mrs. Taliaferro, had not
made her appearance and several calls
for her failed to elicit any response.
Mrs. Taliaferro went upstairs and
found the girl lying across the bed,
partially uncovered and apparently
dead. DR.. Padden was summoned but
he could only state that the girl was
dead and that the probable cause was
of the heart. During the
past month she had worked very hard
for teachers certificate ex-
animation, but the work evidently
proved too much for her. Miss Buford
was born at White Oaks but had
spent her childhood at Watseka, Ills.
A year ago she returned to White Oaks
where she made many friends

The disappointment of the Decker

believed that the Colorado woman
would at least head the ticket as made
out by the committee. Mrs Decker
said she was happy, and looked it; and
it is doubted that, under the crcum-

said this would be done, and probably
by Massachusetts.

The gentlemen were met at the land

white pine and of a first class quality,
