She grieved very much over the death
Of Elsie, and used to send hours at

daughter. A few weeks ago c. Z. En-

secured an order for a memorial for
Elsie. Monday morning Mr.. Emory
called at the house and found no one

an uplifted axe in her hand. She
struck him again in the head, and he
was now bleeding profusely. He seiz-

with her almost ten minutes before he
could get the axe away from her. He
was very weak from the struggle, but
managed to crawl out Of doors and fell
off the doorstep. She followed close

would have killed him this time but

CT the match very exciting and fought
Barber hard, but neither got another
fall in the last % minutes.

as possible under most unfavorable
conditions, being compelled to re-
commence the match every time Col
