COMMITS SUICIDE
Davenport Mother While Tempo
rariIy insane Ends
Her Life.
HANGS WITH ROPE TO BEDPos1
Infant Sleeps All Day in Same
Room with the
Body.

With her infant peacefully slumber-
ing in the cradle near at hand the
body of Mrs. William Mueller. young
mother, hung all day yesterday at her
home, 612 Harrison street, in Daven-
port. where she had committed sui
eide yesterday morning by hanging
to the bed post.
The tragedy is supposed to have
been enacted during yesterday
morning, but it was not dis
covered till the husband re-
1 turned home at 7:45 p. m. from
his daily labor at Bettendorf. When
he reached the house he found all the
doors locked. Upon entering through
window that he found unfastened
he was Mortified to see the dead body
of his wife hanging from the head of
the bed. The remains were cold, and
death had evidently taken place some
hours before.
The milkman called at the house at
0 o'clock and received no response to
his knock, and the young woman's
father had called about 10, and as the
house appeared unoccupied he
thought the mother had taken the
child out for walk.
Was Deliberately Planned
Everything connected with the act
indicates cool and deliberate prepara-
ton. The breakfast dishes were wash
ed and put away, the bed made and
the house tidied up. Taking the whole
of clothesline Mrs. Mueller had tied
the rope around the corner of the
bed. Standing on the bed, she had.
evidently, adjusted the moose and then
calmly swung herself into eternity.
Her feet were almost touching the
ground, not quite. but she could. have
pulled herself back to the bed at any
time before she lost consciousness if
she had so desired. for death was
slow in its coming, being due to
strangulation. She was dressed in the
plain gown in which she had attired
herself when she arose in the morn
ing.
No scrap of paper or line of writ
ing was found to explain the rash
act. But it is very probable that the
deed was one committed while suffer
ing from temporary dementia. Ever
since the birth of their child Mrs.
Mueller had acted queerly. but yes
| terday morning when her husband
left her she was in her usual good
spirits, and kissed him goodbye with
n CHEEKY word of farewell. She was
about 20 years of age, and was very
pretty woman.

The Run That Won 1t.

The third saw the winning run.
Green singled to center and scored
when Graham hit to the dump. The
latter was left. Doll singled in the
fourth, and Donnelly tripled in the
fifth, but both were left. In the sixth
Rebsamen and O'Leary both singled
and were about to attempt double
steal when Donovan shot the ball over
to first and caught the latter mapping.
In the Seventh Schmidt opened with
a triple and it looked as if it was all
over. On the contrary, Bishop ran
his steam gauge up To $50 and the
men behind him fixed their indicators
at the same figure. leaving Schmidt
to die. This summed up Rock Islands
share of the game

Bloomington, May 5.-Rock Island
administered the first defeat of the
season to Bloomington yesterday in
what was admitted by all to have
been the best game of the season. 1t
was scarcely a battle of the pitchers,
both being pounded hard, but both
had perfect support. But one base
on balls was given.
Rock Island got busy in the first
inning. Otherwise, the teams might
have been playing yet. Green, the
first man up, smashed out single,
was sacrificed along by Donnelly and
scored on Gray's drive to right. Reb-
samen also singled, dropping a ball
to the center of the diamond, striking
Bishop and bounding to Brown. The
latter snapped it to Mullaney, who
tossed it over to third, King covering
the sack and touching out Gray who
was pounding along at full speed.

The other Side.

For Bloomington King and Mulla-
ney both singled in the first, the lat
ter stealing, but both were left. In
the second Goodwin singled, was sac
rificed by Brown and scored on Bish-
ops clean single to right. Herbert
singled in the third, was sacrificed by
Mullaney. but died. In the fifth King
singled, and in the seventh Donovan
did the same thing, but it was the
same old story of perishing ignobly.
Herbert smashed one to left and was
sacrificed to second. TRULY walked,
and it was up to Goodwin. He famed.
Smith was brought in to bat for Bish-
OPP in the ninth, but could not hit
safely. Donovan lost finger nail
while Rebsamen was at bat in the
eighth and retired in favor of Belt.
