ries attendant on litigation over all
we had has destroyed all pleasures
and comforts of home.
MY mother has not seemed the
same woman she was before Between
her physical sufferings and the wor-
insane at times.
NO, | have never known mother to
use any kind of drug to relieve pain
or produce sleep. She has suffered pa
tiently. but her pain and worry have
darkened the home, and many times
we have found II difficult to get the
children to school.
Mother was more cheerful before
Mr.. White died, more hopeful, but
since that time she has failed physic
ally and mentally. | had wanted tc
hold this as family secret. trusting
hat she would recover herself, at
least until after the trial we were to
have in the court in December af-
fecting our property interests. | can
not bear all this" and Miss Grouse
| broke down and her attendants came
10 her relief.
General Indications point strongly
| TO n desire on the part of deceased to
end her existence. The Herald will not
| review any of the causes that Sus-
| tain the above opinion, although gem
erally known by our people. 1t seems
| that a physician was called Saturday
morning by the daughter but Mrs.
White refused to be treated and or
lered the physician out of the house.
| He left powder to quiet her nerves
which was administered in the after
| noon and Miss Grouse reported her
mother feeling better but requested
| the doctor to call again In the morn
| Ing. This was complied with about
$3.50 Sunday morning. The doctor
was Informed that Mrs. White was i'll
the bath room where she had been for
an hour or more. and his suspicious
We're quieted by being assured 1t was
a common thing for her to remain In
The bath several hours for rheuma-
tism. Miss Grouse tried to have her
mother unlock the bath room door dur
ing the forenoon hours. About | 80
she asked one of the roomers to try
and get her to unlock the door. Mrs.
White answered that she was not feel
| Ing well and wanted "A doctor. The
| request was complied with and in Is
| miuutesf the physician arrived but
| could not gain entrance to the room
nor obtain response to his calls and
| knocks. He then returned to his res
| idence and obtained some tools with
which he pushed the key out and with
another key opened the door. Mrs.
White was found lying in the bath tub
with IA wrapper on, her limbs being in
a few inches of water with head and
shoulders entirely out. Her hands
We're folded across her breast, and a
glance told the doctor she was dead.
Coroner Lackey was notified by the
doctor and turned the body over to
the Durango Undertaking company.
The Herald extends sympathy to the
daughter and grandchildren who have
thus lost father and mother within a
few months, and the sympathy OF the
community will also GO out to them.
Through the efforts of the board of
trade the city of Durango has been
able to secure the location of the p F.
u Rubber company In the building
formerly occupied by the sampler com
pany. The board feels that its work
can not be called complete until ii
has by its efforts informed the farm
ers of this vicinity what this means
for them. II mas seemed that one of
the best means toward this end is to
| have the farmers meet the manager OF
the new factory and have him go over
| he situation with them
1t has therefore been arranged that
on saturday, October 21, ldon't for
get the date Mr.. Dunbar will deliver
| an informal talk on rubber, its his
tory and cultivation. particularly ms to
the p, F. L. or Colorado rubber plant
Mr. Dunbar's remarks will be followed
by n discussion in which all present
are invited to take part. The meeting
will be at the city hall at $3.50 p. m.
we want you to come and feel sure
the forty minutes or so of your time
that the meeting will take will be
profitable and pleasant Come and
bring the ladies.
