KEEP SUICIDE PACT
BY LEAP in RIVER
YOUTH AND GIRL THOUGHT TO
HAVE BEEN ENGAGED LEAVE
NOTES TELLING OF DEED.

KEOKUK, la April S.-Leaving
notes telling of suicide pact, Herman
Bartlett and Belya Pugh jumped to-
gether into the Mississippi river, al
Alexandria, Mo, last night
The notes, one from each, We're
found by the girls mother on table
in the hall, where they could not be
overlooked. They told exactly where
the couple would jump into the river.
The mother spread the alarm and
a searching party was organized.
Young Bartlett and the girl were
tracked to the bank of the stream,
and the river was dragged, but no
bodies were found. Early this morn
ing the search was resumed, and the
river has been dragged for several
miles with result.
Practically the entire town Joined
the searching party last night, and to-
day women and children aided the
men in dragging the stream
Both Bartlett and Miss Pugh were
members of prominent families and,
friends say, were to have been mar
ried. At first it was thought that the
suicide notes were a blind, or that
the couple had written them as joke
but this theory is rejected by their
parents and the town authorities. Both
left their jewelry and wraps on the
table in the hall Of the girls home,
where the notes were found. Bart-
let's hat, and his money also, were
left.

jured yesterday afternoon, and is now
at his home on North street, uncon-
scious.
DR.. Harrison was driving out Forti
fication street when his horse became
frightened at one Of the fire engines,
became unmanageable, and began run
ming and plunging. In the effort to
bring the animal to his feet again
the right line broke. By this time
they were nearing the corner of Gray
son and Fertilization street. DR.. Har-
rison, fearing the buggy would be
overturned in the horses attempt to
round the corner, jumped out, and
losing his balance, fell on his head
and shoulders, rendering him uncon-
scious.
The physicians who attended him
up to a late hour last night thought
it very probable that the injuries
might prove to be serious, but said
they could tell more about it when
he regained consciousness.
The physicians attending the sick
man abe Drs. Galloway, Crisler, Tur-
ner and others, all of whom are anx-
ious to serve one of their professional
