SOUGHT DEATH lBI THE CAR
BOLIC ACID ROUTE

Mystery surrounds the cause which
prompted Bessie Watson Payne, col
orcd, wife Of Lothafr Payne of Fry
street, to end her life Saturday after
noon about 3 o'clock by taking an
ounce Of carbolic acid which caused
her death two hours later. -
She had been married only two
weeks and her husband to make her
life happy provided for every com
fort and pleasure IN his power, hav-
ing just moved into a new and neatly
furnished home, and the couple were
considered to be particularly con-
genial and we'll TO, do
The only intimation Of her trouble
was given in note hastily scrubbed
on the back Of a Mormon tract, and
which read as follows:
II am tired of living, and my head
is. nearly bursted. Goodbye. Lo-
thair.'
The young woman, who was Il
member Of Seventh Day Ad-
vcncist church at Mason City. at
tended an adventist meeting at the
Dad Fellows Hall, and afterwards
went to Capitol street drug store
and purchased an ounce bottle of can
bolic 2cid. Returning home she told
her husbands sister she was going to
lie down for few minutes and pour
ing the entire contents Of the bottle
into glass and swcctening the con
Coctfon with sugar, drank it. Her
groans attracted Bertha Paync's at
tontion; doctors were summoned bur;
the poison had done its work and the
woman died.
NO reason is known why tn,
| woman should have killed hcr.alf
as she was apparently sane aud
happy.
