WIFE RALKID \ SUICIDE.
Cut Her Husband Down After He Had
Hung Himself.

Alarmed by her husbands actions
early yesterday morning and fearing
that he might carry out an oft-re-
Deated threat to kill himself. Mrs.
Matthew Reuther or 140 Ferry ST.
Newark. watched him closely. but he
disappeared for a few minutes and
she found him hanging by a piece of
rope from a bedpost in one Of the
rooms of their home.
She cut him down and sent her
daughter to the police station to sum
mon aid. When the police arrived
Reuther still had the rope around his
neck. but his wife had prevented him
from hanging himself again. Accord
ing to Mrs. Iteuther. her husband had
been morose for several weeks and
had threatened tO kill the family and
then himself. His mental condition
will be inquired into-New York

The angle that the runners make

6 AS to the time for dragging, d SAT,
rule to olloW is to drag the road whel
the material composing the surface
contains sufficient moisture to com

FOR traffic to produce mud.
Since the weather plays so import

ever possible, to have the draSgin
done by persons interested in tn
