Aberdeen, S.. D., March Cupid APP
parently made a sad mistake when he
trough about the marriage Of Geo.
Tyler and his sweetheart less thar two
weeks ago. Before they had given
their matrimonial venture a fair trial
they, by their actions, declared 1t a
failure, and when it was supposed the
pleasures incidental to their new state
would at least charm them with the,
novelty, the bride secured some car
bolic acid and declared she would COM
init suicide. She did not get a chance
to carry her threat into execution, for
friends took the poison away and made,
tempt. /.
Scarcely had the excitement died
away in the circles frequented by this
young couple when the husband took a
dose of strychnine. Married life is not
it is cracked up to be-" he said.
and then swallowed a dose of the.
poison. He tool enough to kill three
men, and the overdose saved HIM.
The sickness that followed made it
an easy matter for him to promise not
to repeat the experiment, and now tina
both bride and groom arc again on an
even basis their friends hope that they
viii try and max the best of a bad
JOB. They refuse to make public the
cause of the trouble. but the fact that
both are still alive will give Cupid an
other chance to make good by repairing
the damage now charged up against
him.
