 Standing within a few feet of hex husband Mrs. Frank Desautelle tot k a dose of carbolic acid, with suicidal intent, in her home in the south paI of the village Thursday afternoon.
 She left the house soon after 3 o'clock and went to c. l.. Keeney's drug store, where she bought an ounce of carbolic acid. She returned home at once, arriving there about 2 80 o'clock. As she drank the acid Mrs.
 Desautelle called to her husband, who was in the next room. He turned as she was drinking 1t and sprang to prevent her, but she had swallowed most of the contents of the bottle. A messenger was sent for a physician, and such remedies as were at hand were at once administered. There was some delay in getting medical as- sistance, as all the local physicians were out on calls. Dr. c. E. Fuller tried every means to save the woman 8 life. She soon lost consciousness and sank rapidly, but later revived and it was thought might recover. The only apparent cause for the deed is despondenoy from i'll health. Mrs. Desautelle has been in poor health for some time. The family came here from Worcester about four years ago. MT. Desautelle being employed in the store of Rogers Bros. Mrs, Desautelle is 27 years old.
