TO HOLD AN AUTOPSY.
Insurance Company Desires to Learn
Exact Cause of G. O. Bailey's Death.

AhStAA 6aAAOC SoAAhpdAy DCSLACS ~ 1S1lTIl
Exact Cause of G. O. Bailey's Death.
Lawrence, Kan. Dec. 2.-The FL
deity & Casualty company of New
York has asked for an autopsy upon
the body Of George c. Bailey, the
Santa Fe agent, who died here after a
weeks critical illness with blood
poisoning. The request has been
granted and the body has been placed
in a vault to await the autopsy
There is no possibility of insurance
scandal developing from the case, as
the purpose of the requested examin-
alton is merely to determine whether
death ensued from a railroad accident
or from other causes. Some time ago
Mr.. Bailey got thumb hurt in a car
door. He had the injury dressed and
it apparently got well. Later the
thumb swelled up and blood poisoning
set in, finally causing death.
The policy held in the Fidelity COM
pany has a face value of $1,000, but
there is clause in it which provides
for the payment of double liability if
the insured dies as the result of a rail-
road accident. 1t is to determine def
nitely whether death really resulted
from a railroad accident that the COM
pany made the request for an autopsy.

LIKE MRS. NATION
A COffeyville Woman Becomes
CraZed With Grief.
All Because Her HUI band Fails
to Come to Dinner.

Kicks in a S15O Plate Glass

Then Repeatedly Attempts to
Take Her Life at the Jail.
SHE RAIDS THE TOWN.

Coffeyville, Kan, Dec. 2.-The Journal
says:
Because her husband would not come
home and eat turkey dinner Mrs. L.
Beck, became crazed and started out to
destroy the city. Like the Goths and
the Vandals in the days of the old
Roman empire, she was not content to
destroy things of little value but must
break window fronts and the like. Her
depredations were stopped by an officer
after she had kicked in the plate glass
window of the Cherokee drug store,
and she was locked up in the city hold
over.
But this was only the beginning of
her hair-raising escapades. Mrs. Beck
was determined to take her own life
Here was where JailOr Ligg1ns took
matters in hand, but the woman proved
too much for him. As result OF MS
experiences it is reported that Llgglns
is to leave soon for the Battle Creek
sanitarium.
The prisoner was locked in the corri-
dor of the city jail The jailer's atten-
ton was first attracted by attempts to
drown herself. She turned on the wa
ter and was holding her head under the
lancet
Higgins had scarcely rescued her
from her watery grave" when she
threatened to crawl up on the steel
cige and jump off and kill herself. She
climbed onto the cages and the jatler
climbed after her. She was pulled down
end locked in a cell.
Her next attempt on her life was to
tear up her clothing and hang herself.
She was going to tear up her clothes
and make a rope. LfggfnS convinced
her that she could never accomplish it
with a rope made out of clothing and
she soon found that he was about right.
The prisoner then began to scream at
the top of her voice.
In desperation, the jailer took Mrs.
Beck into the office and put in police
call. Officer Zimmerman came to his
assistance. After short consultation,
It was decided to allow the prisoner to
go home.
The owners of the Cherokee drug
store say that the window was worth
$3.50. The woman says she will not pay
that, but will give what the window is
worth
