SEEKS DEATH BY
HAT PIN JAlBS

Louise Ham, confessed SLAYER of
her sweetheart. John Henry Hardy,
a colored soldier of the twenty
fifth regiment at Fort Wright, and
until the murder an inmate of a
negro resort at E210 Front avenue,
was taken to the county Jail this
morning.
While in attendance at the cor
oner's inquest over the body of her
victim yesterday, the murderess'
twice ATTEMPTED to commit suicide
by jabbing hat pin into her heart.
The first time she was overpow-
cred by Captain of Detectives
Burns. who removed all of the hat
pins from her hat. A few moments
later she suddenly tore a hat pin
from the hat of another woman and
made the second attempt to end
her life. This time she was seized.
by two officers, who succeeded in
taking the pins away from her after
a desperate struggle. -
The coroner's jury found that
Hardy came to his death at the
hands of Louise Ham, who fired
the fatal bullet which entered the
right side of Hardy's chest. and the
autopsy preceding the inquest re-
vealed the fact that the bullet pene-
trated the arteries connecting the
heart and lungs.
The body of the dead man was
taken in charge by Lieutenant
Lewis of Fort Wright. who ordered

reservation.

on TRAIL Of
ENGINEER
RALSTON
SIX .COUNCILMEN THINK THAT
HE HAS OUTLINED HIS
USEFULNESS.
SPRAGUE FILL, LIMIT

1t is believed that City Engineer
Raiston's fate is hanging by a slen-
der thread. Six counciImen believe
that the farce in the engineers Of
flee should be terminated and the
people given a man to look after
their interests. But the question is
to get the seventh man, needed to
fire RaIston.
RaIston was placed in office by
w. II. CowIes, who has managed,
through his influence, to hold him
there during all the storms that
have ragged around the city hall in
the last two years.
Ralston charges his troubles--or
did-to the contractors, but that
story does not carry water any
more. He has been tried and fallen
down so often that the Sprague
avenue fill is the "straw that broke
the camePs back"
There are some deals that have
been pulled off around the city en-
gineer's office in the last year that
will not bear investigation. This
phase Of the case, added to the
element of unsatisfactory returns
on public work, has created gen.
eeral impression that the sooner
Ratston is eliminated the better it
will be for the city.
