TOOK POISON.
Lena korts of North Mankat0
Attempts Suicide.
Wyoming Man on Visit to West Man
kato Accidentally Shoots Himself
in the Foot.

Miss Lena Korts, the sixteen year
old daughter of Henry q. Korts of
North Mankato, attempted to take her
life Saturday afternoon. She mixed
some Paris green with water at three
O'Clock and swallowed it. Her father
soon learned what she had done and
drove hastily to the Office of DR.. j. M.
Edwards, and had the latter back at
his house half an hour after the drug
had been swallowed.
DR.. Edwards applied his stomach
pump and soon had the young lady re-
lieved of the pain which she was by
that time suffering. She is out of dan
ger, but is still suffering from the
effects of the poison that had entered
her system. DR.. Edwards states that
she took sufficient poison to have
caused her death.
| Miss Korts told DR.. Edwards that
she had taken the poison because of
words which she had had with her
father during the forenoon. Her
mother died last summer, and her
father deals in wood. Mr.. Korts was
recently sued by his son, Herman R. :,
for wages, and the son secured yer :
dict for 81, 059. This has subsequently
been settled by the father paying the
son about one-third the amount of the
Judgment.
Mr.. Ketchum of Cuddy, Wyoming,
arrived Friday to visit his father in

was accidentally discharged, the bal
entering the left leg above the ankle,
passing downward and coming out al
the sole of the foot. DR.. Webster was
summoned and dressed the injury.
The revolver was a forty-four cali
bre, but no serious results are expected
to follow.
