MRS DORA KIDNEY
COMMITS SUICIDE
Neighbors of Dead Woman Are Utterly
Unable to Account For Her
Strange Act.

Another of those tragedies that are
apparently without cause occurred
Sunday at the Martin Kidney farm
twelve miles southeast of town, when
Mrs. Dora Kidney, wife Of Martin Kid
ney committed suicide by taking car
bolic acid.
Sunday morning Mrs. Kidney ap.
peared in the best of spirits, and after
putting her Sunday dinner on to cook,
told her husband she was going to
tage the contents of small
bottle she held in her hand. Her.
husband attempted to take the bottle
from her but she ran from him and
drained the bottle of a quantity of the
deadly acid. Then turning to her hus-
band she told him that she wanted to
die. About an hour later her wish
was realized.
Coroner Adams of Big Cabin held
an inquest yesterday afternoon and
found that the woman came to her
death by her own hands.
The neighbors and the husband are
utterly unable to account for the rash
act. The young couple was married
In February last. and have apparently
been happy.
The funeral services and burial was
held at Willow Springs cemetery

HEAVY LOSS CAUSED BY
BREAKDOWN At PLANT

With one OF the largest crowds of
the summer present last night the
moving picture and vaudeville show at
the Auditorium had to abandon the
evenings program because the power
at the light plant went down. This
caused a great loss to the manage
ment. The continued failure of the
light company to give service at
times when most needed has almost
rendered the service Invaluable to the
patrons, and unless there is remedy
soon 1t is not unlikely that steps will
be taken either to secure a franchise
for a new company or have the pres
ent one cancelled.

many places the hot dry winds have
done much damage to crops, Locally
1T is not believed the corn crop has

beginning to alarm the farmers. Most
OF the corn In Craig county will en-

but unless there is rain this week the
corn crop win be practically ruined.
The temperature in vinita has rang
ed around the 100 mark yesterday and
today, but cool breeze at night has
