Fatal Plunge.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-With only a
pickering spark of life left in bis bruised
body, Bert L. Lynch lies in st. An
drew's Hospital with no hope of recover
log from his mad dash 10 an automobile
over 90-foot cliff into stone quarry.
Without giving any intimstion of the
desperate plunge he intended to
make Lynch turned the machine in the
direction of the long rock hole and
turned on full speed. John Joss, who
was in the automobile with Lynch, real
ized the situation just in time to leap to
safety. Lynch and his automobile dashed
on, turned, double loop in the air and
struck on the rocks below with terrific
force. The young man had been seized
by an insane impulse and evidently
could not save himself from the plunge
when he saw thu deep quarry.

WOMAN FIVE TIMES
SEEKS DEATH BY ACID
SAVED BY HUSBAND AS BOTTLE
TOUCHES LIPS
Mrs. Ida Hutchings Resuscitated at
HospitaI-WiII Recover-Form of
Insanity Cause of Attempt
: Is Explanation

Mrs. Ida Hutchings, "a years of age,
yesterday made the fifth unsuccessful
attempt in five years to end her life.
She was prevented from doing SO only
by the fact that her husbands attention
was attracted while she was raising the
bottle containing carbolic acid to her
lips. He succeeded in wrestling 1t from
her before much of the stuff had passed
down her throat.
AS 1t was, the young woman was Sc
verely burned by the poison and was
unconscious when taken to the receiving
hospital.
There she was attended by DR.. Good
rich city police surgeon, and late last
night was able to return to her home al
Ill West Fourteenth street.
For no apparent reason Mrs. Hutchings
has frequently attempted to kill herself
Each time her methods have been the
same. Apparently on the, spur of th'
moment she seizes a bottle containing
carbolic acid and tries to swallow thu
poison.
According to Mr.. Hutchings the wo
mans home life is a happy one and sh
never has any cause for complaint. HI
claims her wish to kill herself must b
| a form of insanity.

MEXICAN REvoLUTloNisTs WILL

Diaz' Agents Expect to Proceed on
New Lines, While Accused Men
Say They viii Be Prepared
to Oppose Extradition

Dispatches from Attorney Job Hartman,
representing the Mexicans awaiting extra
dition in Los Angeles show that Governor
Gillett has finally determined to yield to
the pleas made for the men and to deny
extradition to Missouri
Affidavits presented by Antonio Villareal
and r. Flores Magon showed that the
accused men were not in Missouri at the
time of the alleged criminal libel, Magon
being in Canada.
The agent for Missouri was unable tc
present counter affidavits to the governor
at Sacramento.
Attorney H. H. Appel, who represent.
the Mexican government, says he will
present evidence later that the men wer
in Missouri when the alleged offenses wer,
committed and will probably endeavor t.
renew the proceedings in some other form
Aid has come to the revolutionists ir
several unexpected forms, and they are
prepared to keep up the fight.
The claim is made by them that the liti-
cation Is merely pretext to get them
into Mexico, where their propaganda for
a new administration can be stopped.
The Diaz government does not desire
punishment for the men, they say, so
much as it does prohibition of their liter
