GIRL DIES FROM FRIGHT.
Fear of Operation Sends High School
Graduate Into Fatal Commissions.

rear OIL operation SENDS High Scn00l
Graduate Into Fatal Commissions.
Colorado Springs, Col.-Thrown into
a frenzy of fright when informed she
would have to submit to a slight sur
gical operation, Miss Susie Herrin, a
pretty High School graduate, who was
popular in the younger social set, died
from cerebral hemorrhage. For hours
three physicians worked unremittingly
to relieve her from the hysteria and
commissions which followed the infor-
nation that she would have to go I'M
der the knife. They even resorted i'll
the last extremity to artificial respira-
ton, but after hours of agony the
young girl died.
Miss Herrin, who "a nineteen years
old, lived with her mother in No. 314
Fast Monument street. Her friends
believed she was i'll perfect health.
There was nothing in her condition
to cause uneasiness to Mrs. EIerrin
until she noticed that her daughter
seemed nervous.
"Tll send for the DOCTOR" she said.
But | don't want the DOCTOR" in
sisted the high-strung girl, who bel
came even more nervous when her
mother persisted in her purpose. The
family physician arrived in the course
of an hour. He found Miss Herrin
nervous and unduly excited, but made
light of her condition.
"a slight operation will be neces-
sary," he said.
Miss Herrin screamed a violent pro-
test. The doctor endeavored to reas-
sure her, but she went into Mysteries
and violent commissions followed.

College Suicide or Murder.

New Haven, Conn.-Intense excite
ment has been created among the fac
ulty and students in Yale by the mys-
FERROUS death of Arthur Haserot, a
Yale senior, son Of a Cleveland mil
lionaire, whose body was found in his
room in WEIGH Hall, one of the cam
pus dormitories, with a bullet hole in
the right temple. The closest ~investi-
CATION has shown that there was no
reason why the young man should kill
himself, yet it was said the authorities
inclined to this belief. A revolver with
one exploded shell was found in the
room.
Haserot was one of the most popular
students in Yale. He was studious and
took an active part in athletics. He
was favored of the student body be-
cause of his frequent and costly enter
tainments. He vas a leader in the So
cial doings of the students, and many
times in the last winter he was a guest
in the most exclusive circles in New
York City.
Every effort was made to hush up
the details of the case. After the body
had been viewed by the medical exam
iner it was quietly removed to an I'M
dertaker's place, and further than the
fact that the young man was found
dead nothing official has been given
out.
The body was found by Roy W.
Hemingway, of Syracuse, N. Y. He
was Haserot's roommate. Hemingway
said that his chum attended his first
recitation as usual and seemed to be in
his usual good spirits. He had never
intimated even that he was respondent.
and in all their acquaintance Heming-
way said he had not heard the young
man talk of suicide. Hemingway,
while reluctant to think the youth was
murdered, averred that the indications
pointed to a crime.

TWO MYSTERIOUS DEATHS
Maniac of Richmond, Va, Kills Wife
and Yale Student Found Dead.
Merchant Shoots His spouse; Threatens.
His Children and Turns Pistol
on Himself.

Richmond, Va.-With three bullets
lodged in his breast and his life blood
flowing from the wounds which had
been inflicted after he had murdered
his devoted wife, Frederick w. Hill, a
well-to-do merchant, made frantic eff
forts to kill his eight children before
he died himself,
That the crazed man did not succeed
was because he had sent three of the
six bullets into the lungs and heart Of
his wife and the other three into him.
self. But in his fury he snapped the
weapon time and again at the little
children, who stood in a group, with
blanched faces and streaming eyes;
looking alternately at the body of their
dead mother on the floor and at their
father; from whose breast jets Of blood
were squirting toward them.
That Hill lived an instant after in
ficting the wounds upon himself is a
mystery to surgeons who have exam
ined his body and followed the courses
of the bullets. Until an instant before
he fell and died the murderous-minded
maniac did his utmost to wipe out his
entire family.
Hill had been in i'll health for several
months, but his home life was happy
and he seemed to be a devoted husband
and father. Recently he became mo-
rose and manifested signs of insanity.
Insomnia aggravated his mental disor-
der. He was especially restless that
night, and insisted upon keeping his
wife and the children awake. Toward
morning he became more composed,
and the children went to sleep. His
wife, however, remained up to nurse
him.
Just before daylight she decided to
give to her husband a sleeping potion,
While she was preparing the medicine
and had her back to him Hill quietly
opened the bureau drawer and took
out a 38-calibre revolver. Without a
word of warning he fired as she turned
toward him medicine in hand. Three
bullets entered her body. Two pierced
her lungs and the third her heart.
With a scream she sank to the floor
l~ifeless.
The eight children were in adjoining
rooms Aroused by the sound of the
shots they rushed into the room where
the murder had been committed. Their
father, his face distorted by fury,
stood in the middle of the room with
the muzzle of the weapon pointing at
his breast. Before any of the young
sters could raise a cry there were three
loud reports. Hill staggered, but did
not fall. Then he turned the pistol on
the eight children, and snapped the

New York City.-Continued heavy
liquidation of May wheat in practically
all domestic markets, especially in
Chicago, Ill, resulted early in the past
week in another sensational decline
in prices. Reports that the Chicago
May wheat pool had abandoned the
deal and thrown over nearly all its
holdings caused much alarm and great
decentralization ensued. The extraor-
binary break in Chicago May prices of
approximately twenty-five cents per
bushel in a few hours, and of 341Laa
cents from the highest point, naturally
led to intense excitement, and for a
time the market seemed to be in a
s~emi-panicky condition. Fortunately,
however, interest in May in the local
market was comparatively small and
confined mainly to a few strong deal
ers. Hence no great apprehension
was felt here, although traders were
decidedly V and uneasy, fearing
financial trouble in Chicago That this
apprehension was well founded was
subsequently proven by the discovery
of the ~defalcation of a prominent Mil

COFFEE HEART.
Very Plain In Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long time
before they can get their own consent
to give up the indulgence from which
their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
II became satisfied some months ago
that 1 owed the p%alpitation of the
heart, from which 1 suffered almost
daily, to the use Of coffee q had been a
coffee drinker for 80 years., but 1 found
it very hard to give up the beverage.
Il realized that l must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee, but l felt
the necessity for a hot table drink, and
as tea is not to my liking, I was at a
loss for awhile. what to do.
Zone day l ran across a very sensible
and straightforward presentation of
the claims Of Postum Food Coffee, and
was so impressed thereby that l con-
cluded to give it a trial. My experience
with it was unsatisfactory till 1 learned
how it ought to be prepared-by thor
ough boiling for not less than Is or 20
minutes. After 1 learned that lesson
there was no trouble. Postum Food
Coffee proved to be a most palatable
and satisfactory hot beverage, and l
have used it ever since.
THE effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely cured
the heart palpitation from which l used
to suffer so much, particularly after
breakfast, and 1 never have a return of
it except when l dine or lunch away
from home and am compelled to drink
the old kind of coffee because Postum
is not served. l find that Postum Food
| Coffee cheers and invigorates while ii
produces no harmful stimulation"
