go, reported to County Physician
BabcOck that his wife had jump
ed from the wagon on their way
to town and had fed across the
prairie. Sheriff Morgan and the
doctor at once started out it the
latter's auto and succeeded in Sc
curing her.
She claimed that she feared
her husband and that he had at
tempted to poisin her.
A jury was empaneled for Sat
urday evening to determine her
sanity, and it was decided that
she was not in a state of mind to
take care of herself. Mr.. Henni
was held and placed under bond
to care for her until further ar
rangements could be made.
Rooms were assigned to them at
the Pioneer hotel, but he did not
enter the same room with her
and her child of eight months,
and they were locked up. At
about four o'clock Sunday morn

entered to find the body of the
mother lying in a pool of her own
blood, where it was found that
she had broken a window glass
and cut her wrist with itand sev
cred the arteries, resulting in
death from loss of blood.
A coroner's jury which was
summoned to determine the
cause of death, after hearing al
the evidence obtainable, brough
in verdict that the deceased
came to her death from the los!
of blood caused by the severins
of the arteries in her left arm
with a piece of broken glass, tn
act being committed by hersel
while insane.

WHEN WE WENT FISHING.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One day last
summer we planned 10 have days fishing. Ac-
cordingIy we hired two boats and started out early
n the morning. taking our luncheon with US.
The marty consisted Of two boys and two girls In
each boat We rowed about four miles from shore
and started TO fish Up TO the time ate our
luncheon we had no luck which, think. was due
TO the restessness OF the girls, who kept hauling
IN their lines every minute.
After had finished eating l suggested that
the girls take boat and the boys the other.
This We did, rowing distance apart. I'm
rlediately luck changed and we began TO catch
some good sized weakfish But the girls did not
have such luck and lost interest In the sport
shouting that they were going to home
AS We knew they could all row. we let them go.
and continued TO fish for about two hours. By
that time all had string of fish Of which we
were proud. Then wound up lines, pulled
Up the anchor and started for home It took a
long time TO reach the shore, as the tide was
against us. Ina gine our dismay when We were
told that the girls had yet arrived. Ny father
got a launch and hunt for them with
fear in his heart. which soon changed Joy as
he saw another launch approaching his with four
very frightened girls in it The girls explained
that the tide was too strong for them and as they
had only pair Of they were being rapidly
carried out 70 when they were picked I'd by
the with the launch
We left the girls behind the next time we went
fishing.
Hoping this Is not too long, am your friend
