S|NNED AMDD led
FOR LOVE OF HIM
PRETTY YOUNG WIFE AT SHER-
lDAN DRINKS SEVERAL
OUNCES cHLoRoFoRM.
Dies From Effects, Husband Snatchinq
Bottle FROM Her Hand and Drink
ing What She Had Left-Pitiful
Tale of Love and Devotion and a
Changing Heart.

Sheridan, Wyo, Nov. IT sinned
because | loved you,' are the words
that Josie Kepler, a pretty n at
tractive young married woman, wrote
her husband Tuesday evening, and
then, as the shades OF night were
gathering on the surrounding plains,
she unhesitatingly raised a deadly
phial containing four ounces of chloro-
form to her lips nj sent her soul
into eternity.
Takes Bottle From Wife.
Hardly had the tragedy of a weak
woman been enacted than the hus-
band, with deep heart and fearful
eyes, though calm, as if the mighty
reaper that knows not one from the
other was already holding him in his
grasp. clutched the bottle from which
his bride of but a few months ago had
just drunk to death and despair.
Husband Drank Remainder.
Il guess / will go, too he said, and
poured the remaining two ounces of
chloroform down his throat. Then he
went nearer his dying wife. The doc
tors were busy working over the pros
trate form, but now divided their at
tention between husband and wife,
seeming dead and dying. Kepler hand
ed one of the physicians the empty
bottle, then lay down and closed his
eyes, as if going to sleep. Its too
much; l can't stand it." he said. God
forgive US both and take us home"
Praised Wife to Others.
For some time Mr.. and Mrs, Kepler
have been having domestic troubles.
At first their married life seemed, to
the outward world anyhow, a dream
of bliss. She would be seen at the
gate to welcome him home after a
run. He is a brakeman and praised
his wife to other railroad men on this
division. But he admired ome of
the dreamy-eyed style, and his affec-
tions soon left his devoted wife. 1t
seems he alone was not to blame for
one death, and possibly two. Mrs.
Kepler went to work in a local cafe.
At first she would hardy speak TO
a stranger. She was a demure little
reature and one that attracted atten-
ton wherever she went.
In the Wide Path.
Soon the nee happy and contented
wife was frequently seen in company
with other men. Husband and wife
q~uarreled repeatedly. Life became a
burden to both, and the troubles of
one are now ended forever, and pos
sibly the trials OF the other, who now
lies on the brink of the mighty abyss,
praying that his soul may leave
weakened body.
Il sinned because l loved you,'
wrote the dead wife, q hope you will
meet someone with whom you can be
happy, and when you have a cosy
home and children by your side my
spirit will watch over you"

And it cost $2,o

A dash in telegraph instrument re quiring a fraction of a second in send ing, but which an operator failed to put in, will cost the Postal Telegraph company $2,2O0 if verdict handed down by jury in the supreme court of Brooklyn the other day goes into eff. feet, says the New York American.
 The plaintiff was E. S. Halstead & Co.,, the Manhattan bag manufacturers. In transmitting an estimate of prices on cloth from the Cannon Manufactur. Ing company of Chicago the operator made dash and four dots instead of three dots, dash and dot, which made what was intended to be S.S0 and 3.SO, or five points difference. At least that Is what Halstead & Co. claim, and the jury agreed with them.
 By reason of the error Halstead & Co. lost $2,2O0 in making a contract for a lot of bags with Armour & O., and they immediately brought suit to compel the telegraph company to make good the loss. Justice Maddox took the verdict under advisement on mo- tion made by the defendant company to have it set aside.
