Tried To Join
His BetrOthed
Bride in Death
Andrew Dominicus Fired Bul-
let Though Left Lung at
Soldier Friday.
MEDICAL AID SAVED HIS LIFE

Andrew Dominicus, an Italian who
was employed in the mines at Soldier,
made an unsuccessful attempt to COM
init suicide Friday evening by shooting
himself through the left lung. An

anticipation OF the time when he would
bring the woman to Soldier as his wife,
but alack, his bright hopes were
blasted and life lost all its charms for
him when he received word last Thurs
day evening that his intended bride
had sickened and died suddenly. The
blow was so hard on Andrew that by
Friday afternoon he had decided to
take his own life and join his would
be-bride in the Great Beyond. He
went to the Supply Co. store at Soldier
and bought revolver. The clerk that
sold him the gun asked II he intended
shooting some person and the answer
was, eyes, I shoot MYSELF The clerk
thought he was only joking about TAX
ing his own life, but it was not joke,
He went to his residence and did the
shooting.
Andrew was taken to the Adrian
Hospital in Punxsutawney Saturday
morning and has good chance of re-
covery. Since firing the bullet into
his lung he has taken different aspect
OF life and don't want to die now.
Andrew Dominicus is about 35 years
old. His kinsfolk reside at Home
stead. While he works in the mines
for livlihood, he is skilled sculptor
and has number of pieces Of his own
handiwork in the house he lives in
at Soldier.

Raising Cotton
In ReynoIdsviIIe

same it has within its borders cotton
patch thrifty enough to make south

W. Fl. Yount, Of the Reynoldsviile
Hardware Co., was passing through
Kentucky when be noticed what seemed
to him immense fields of buckwheat.
Further on he saw a group Of "pick-
,sninnys" hoeing in one OF the fields
and on asking why was told that that
kind Of "buckwheat" produced cotton.
He secured small quantity of the seed
and brought it home. In May of this
year while arranging flower bed at
his Grant street home, he sowed some
Of the cotton seed, hardly believing,
however, that 1t would come up. In
spite OF the cold rains and variable
weather the cotton grew and to-day
Is almost foot high. Whether 1t will
produce cotton or not will be deter
mined about September. In the mean
time many people are visiting Mr..
Yount's to watch the progress OF this
Southern plant in strange soil. No
special care is taken of it. 1t was

posed to all the changes Of weather.

from Philosopher?

Louis Jones of the Grand opera
house had the blues. His brother, a
colored man, usually in good humor,
had 'em, too. Neither knew just why
he had em, but they had 'em just the
same. They talked of the weather,
the times and dozen other gloomy
subjects. There was nothing sunny
in the soul of a patron or a barber.
Finally both sighed in concert and a
silence fell over the shop-yes, over a
barber shop. The colored man was
the first to speak. After several mo-
ments of silence he gave vent to an
other sigh and said:
well, as de old philosopah says:
'Ef yo' amt got nothin, now's yo'

philosopher was.~-Indianapolis News.
