arrived in Bingham recently and gave
a sample of her new game there. al
though she is known in that city and
vicinity. This. according to newspa-
per OF that city, is how it happened:
shortly before eight o'clock last
night the ticket agent at the Lack

that he had received message from
point east of here, stating that
young lady had been taken seriously

ambulance be provided to take her to
the hospital as soon as the train ar

arrived at the depot
The sick girl proved to be Miss
Cummings. She was very, very sick
from all appearance and the trip from
the station to the hospital was made
in quick time, the driver fearing that
his charge might die in the wagon
before he got her to the hospital.
Nellie lived to be taken upstairs and
placed in a nice. soft bed, however.

and homeless girl. But when she ex-

No convict has been guillotined in
Paris for ten years. and the sentences
of those condemned to death have
been commuted to imprisonment for
life. The reason for this lies in the
fact that the law provides that all
capital executions shall be held In
public, and since the guillotine was
removed from the Place de la Ro-
quette ten years ago, no other place
has been found for it. The residents
ia the neighborhood Of every place
