Telegram.cMrs. Youngs wife of Elias
Young, a prosperous farmer who resides
five miles northeast of Tecumseh, made a
futile attempt at suicide last night. When
her husband returned from his chores in

Young would not give her motive for the

with her martial relations, probably being
disappointed with her husband only by the
remarkable difference in age. OF late she
has been remorseful and sullen and at an
other time about a month ago she threat

understood that the report when made pub

will show no small amount belonging to
the state. and a very large sum belonging
10 the county school funds. zeigler's first
term was secured by a personal bond, his
second by a bond given by the Fidelity and
