Put Poison in Coffee.

Danville, w., July Mrs. Alex
ander T. Clark, wife of well known
farmer, residing near Ingrams, this
county, was held for the grand jury
at a preliminary hearing today at
Chatham, on charge of thrice at.
tempting to poison her husband and
her two grown stepsons by placing
Paris green in their coffee. It was
only after the third attempt that the
cause of sudden illness of the three
men was discovered. A physician,
who analyzed the coffee, found that
it contained poison. The only reason
assigned for the deed is the unpleasant
relations with her husband.

HOG SUIT RIVAL OF
FAMOUS CALF CASE

Spokane, Wash. Oct. 5.-Wh;,t gives
promise of rivaling the famous calf
case of legal history. has just developed
in the Nez Perce precinct. in northern
idaho, where Justice of the Peace III. ii.
Poguc issued warrant for the arrest
of a hog belonging to j. NJ. johnson
charging the porker with disorderly
conduct. upon complaint OF Jacob Nor
ey. neighbor.
The constable. to whom the warrant
was delivered. refused to make the ar
rest. and Morey killed the pig. Morey
alleged in his complaint that the hog
broke through his fences and destroyed
the crops. Johnson was successful in
having the case carried to the court at
Nollmer Idaho, where Morey obtained
the verdict. The justice at Nolmer de-
cided that Johnson pay a fine of 81 and
$50 costs. and he has appealed to the
district court, where lively legal bat
tie Will be fought.
The value of the hog is estimated to
be from s6 to So. There is also some
talk of proceeding against the constable
for refusing to do his duty in serving
the warrant upon the pig.

Quarts Immediately after shooting
and killing Mrs. Schumacher. turned

the muzzle Of the revolver to his head
and sent a bullet into his brain.
