MELBOURNE NAN
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Raymonde Dennis, Aged "a,
Drinks Chloroform, But
Emetic Saves Him
JUST IN TIME
Father Heard Groans From Sons
Room and Found Him Unconscious
Doctor Called and Apo Morphine
Administered - Domestic Troubles
Alleged as Cause.

Raymopde b. Dennis. aged "a years.
married only a few months ago, at
tempted suicide at Melbourne late
Tuesday afternoon, by swallowing the
contents of two-oulrce vial of chloro-
form. An emetic, administered shortly
after the young man was found by his
father, alone saved Dennis from ac-
complishing the end he sought. Do
mestic troubles are assigned as cause
for the act.
Dennis. who is son of Thomas
Dennis, a well-known citizen Of Mel
bourne, and a brother of Mrs. C. w.
Lamer, whose husband conducts the
Melbourne hotel, bought two ounces of
chloroform at c. A. Seely's drug store
late Tuesday afternoon. He said when
he purchased the poison that he want
ed to use 1t for cleaning grease spots
from his clothes. He went directly
from the store to his room in the hotel
AT $3.50 the young mans father heard
groans coming apparently from his
sons room, and investigated. He found
his son in great agony and hastily
summoned DR.. e. A. Hunt, who ad-
ministered apo-morphine, powerful
emetic. 1t was only a short time be-
tore Dennis was pronounced out OF
danger. Today he was able to be up.
Dennis was married only on Dec. %,
1905, to Miss Lizzie Betz, daughter Of
Mrs. Charles Betz. who lives three
miles south Of Melbourne on the Jacob
Waltemefer farm. The married life Of
the young people is said not to have
been very pleasant. and because he
was respondent and unhappy it is
claimed Dennis preferred to end it ALL
Dennis has only been in Melbourne
since last Saturday He is a cook by
trade, and until three weeks ago ran
restaurant at Van Horne. Since
that time he has been cooking In a no.

FROST DAMAGE BAD
Result Of Freeze Tuesday Night, in Ad-
dition to Frosts Of Previous Nights,
Will Either Totally Destroy or Very
Greatly Lessen Fruit Crop.

According to the best Judgment Of
the growers of small fruits with whom
the T.-R. was able to communicate
this morning, the freeze of Tuesday
night, In addition to the frosts of the
previous nights, has either totally de-
stroyed the cherry and plum crop IN
this vicinity, or will greatly lessen it.
Growers differ, altho all think the
damage is serious.
Because Of the rain Tuesday with
the resulting dampness which was in
the air all night. the effects of the
freeze last night was more severe than
on any of the previous nights, altho 1t
was not so cold. The minimum reach
ed last night was 80 above zero, but
because of the moisture freshly stirred
soil was frozen SO hard the crust
would hold mans weight.
Mrs. A. c. Grips, of Albion, thinks
her crop Of cherries, plums, and straw
berries is totally destroyed. She said
this morning she did not think there
would be crop at all.
w. A. Cope, of West Main street. said
it would be little time yet before the
damage could be accurately told, but
it undoubtedly would be serious. He
believes the strawberries, which were
not in full bloom, would escape.
In addition to the damage to small
fruit great number of tender garden
plants, such as tomatoes and cabbage,
which were not protected, were frozen

league teams his instructions under
which the umpires will work. Aside
from being clear and concise the rules
as laid down by Mr.. Peckham de-
mand that the umpires shall rule the
players with an iron hand and when
an umpire says he will fine a player,
he must do so, and in no cases is the
practice of filming and later renting
the fine to be allowed. Peckham has
instructed them to allow no one to run
the ball diamond to argue decision
with the umpire but the captain, and
those that do are to be fined. He also
prohibits all coaching from the bench
by players The common practice of
a player, after three balls have been
called on him, Of throwing aside his
bat and starting to first after the
fourth delivery Of the pitcher, is to be
stopped at the cost of a fine to the Of
Tending player.
Umpires are not to pay attention to
attempts to intimidate by officers OF
local associations Such officials are
to be treated courteously, but their
threats are to be given no heed.
