nearest point of the Pacific coast.
For centuries-no one knows how
many-Colima has been active. and
during the last 900 years. at least,
violent periods have been frequent and
often prolonged. During these pc
RODS of violence the Mexican volcano
becomes the rival of Nesuvius as
spectacular performer. The thin line
OF vapor that issues from the crater
continuously in days OF compare
tive quiet, gives way to a great pill

the air for hundreds OF feet above
the crest of tho mountain; flames
leap from the crater and Lightning
plays above it. and terrifying subter-
ranean rumblings and sharp detona-
tons are heard for many miles. Often
the fall of sand and ashes is SO dense
as to cause extreme darkness during
the daylight hours in the vicinity OF
the volcano.

loveiorn, or Just Crazy7

Clayton-The dead body of Bernard
Coakley, or A. G. Dunn. was found
hanging to the limb of tree in Sc.
ciuded spot in Maplewood. 1t ID
thought that he committed suicide be-
cause of a love affair with Miss Ella
Beach, of 1922 Franklin avenue, St.
Louis, who says Coakley became so
ardent in his suit that she suspected
his sanity and refused to have any
thing to do with him. Coakley rep
resented himself as a travelling sales
man from New York. Information
from Gotham substantiates this. and
adds that his right name Is A. J.
Dunn. and that he recently deserted
mis- wife and children, who, believing
he had been mysteriously murdered,
have gone to Mrs. Dunn's old home
