SHOT MAN SHE LOVED
Hungarian Girl Went to Proctor to
Visit Him.


Declaring that she could not live
without him and that she intended to
kill herself after she had paid him one
last visit, Miss Louise Enyinga Of
New York, % years old, last evening
shot and seriously wounded Joseph
Farksei at his home In Proctor where
she had been visiting for the last four
days. Farksei is married and it is
thought that the woman also intended
to kill his little child and herself but
she was prevented from doing this by
three men who were In the room at
the time, and who grabbed her wrists
Immediately after she shot Farksei.
The woman was brought to the house
of correction at midnight by Deputy
Sheriff w. H. Startup and probably
will be given hearing today. It is
believed that the wounded man will
live.
1t seems that the romance which re.
suited in the tragedy began in Hun.
gary several years ago but for some
reason the man married another wom-
an. They came to this country about
five years ago and since then Miss En-.
yinga has been employed as a servant
girl in New York City and Farksei has
lived with his wife and child at Proc
tor where he Is employed In the Yer.
mont Marble company's mills His
former sweetheart came to visit him
about a week ago and when she ar
rived in Proctor last Tuesday she an
nounced that she had come to see him
a last time before killing herself as
she had decided that without him life
held no interest for her.

HOME REMEDY
Especially Valued by the Elderly Peo-
pie Who Suffer.

A large New York health publication
tells its readers OF number OF simple
and safe prescriptions that can be
made at home. The following, how
ever, for the cure OF rheumatism and
kidney and bladder troubles receives
the greatest praise, viz, Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparllla, three ounces. These
simple, harmless ingredients can be
obtained at any good prescription phar
macy at little cost and are mixed by
shaking we'll In a bottle.
The dose for adults Is O teaspoonful
after each meal and at bedtime, drink.

each dose. It is further stated that

one ounce Karg0n Compound, In an
original (unopened) package, plainly
printed, Guaranteed No. 10S, under Ma.
tional Drug Law, and mix the Kargon
with the other ingredients at your
home, you had better not use this ef.

A well known local druggist states
that this mixture acts directly upon
