luck Sunday. Four sunfish was the sum

sweating along the banks OF McKirahan

not have been so bad. but his tale of woe
arose in this wise: When ready to start
home he rowed across the lake to get his
companion, DR.. Thomson. Instead OF cas-
ing up on the oars as he approached the
bank. he kept in full swing, hitting It with
tremendous force. The result was perfectly
natural-the boat turned turtle. rolling over
with its startled occupant Just as suddenly
and gracefully as you please. All Thomson
heard for a few seconds from under the
upthrned craft was a succession OF gurEles.

UNLAWFUL LOVE
RUINS TWO HOMES
Wife CT Great Scientist Becomes
infatuated With Friend of
Her Husband
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-The wrecking
was completed today, when Dr. j. II.
member Of the Francis Willard hos
court against Mary Carpenter, charg-
ing her with attempted murder by ar
senical poisoning and infatuation for
Herbert O. Chaplin, manager of Sears,
Roebuck & Co. Mrs. Chaplin has left
her husband and is also preparing to
file suit for divorce.
The filing of the suit was accom-
plished with much secrecy, every ef-
fort being made to prevent the trial
from becoming public. In the bill for
divorce DR.. Carpenter charges his wife
with numerous indiscretions, prominent
among which are tete-a-tetes with
Chaplin, drunkenness, abusive Ian guag
threats against his life and finally an
attempt to murder him by putting ar
senic in his food.
DR.. Carpenter declares his wife also
deserted him several days ago and he
does not at present know her where
abouts.
Mrs Chaplin left her home yesterday
and her husband today asserted he did
not know where she had gone. He ad-
mitted she had left him on account of
Mrs. Carpenter and was preparing to
sue him for divorce
In answering the charges made by
DR.. Carpenter, Chaplin says he has been
a dupe Of the physician and has been
drawn into the affair because of his
desire to help DR.. Carpenter.
