Mrs. august Schrieber attempted. to
commit suicide last night about 8
o'clock at her home on Fourth ave-
north by drinking some kind of poi
son. A hurry call tor help brought
three doctrso and after working over
hre for quite a while, they finally
lett her ON a fair way to recovery.
Mrs. Schrieber took some soI4 OF
acid in the attempt to end her
lie. 1t was at first thought that she
had taken muriaic acid, but this
was not confirmed.
No reason Tor the attempted sui
cide has been discovered. Mrs. Schr-
ieber, when she was able to talk,
told a relative that sh did not hayee

that a person suffering as Mrs. Schr-
ieber was at the time could not be
responsible for what shesaid.
The latest report is that Mrs.

The games played SO far were ori-
ginauy intended to constitute the
complete schedule, but owing to the
exceptionally creditable showing. mad
a new situation arises due to the
state tournament that is annually
staged at.Appleton under the auspices
OF Lawrence College. From this, the
central part OF the state, three. teams
are picked by a competent board to
come to Appleton ana meet teams

Grand Rapids has not been lucky
enough OF late years TO make a good
enough showing TO warrant it's inyi-
tation TO the tournament. Perhaps
The same Will turn out to be the
case this year, but at any rate our
boys appear at the present time to
have The cali over the other teams
OF this district. In order to deflnl-
Lely decide this beyond dispute, how
ever, the tournament board has re-
uuested Grand Rapids high to play
a game with WeyanWega, also one
with Fond du Lac. Both games have
been arranged for, and will be played
on the local gymnasium floor. The
Weyanwega game is to be here.this
Friday. Although a small town.team
hey have lost no games this year,
and should prove worthy opponents.
All lovers, people at ali interested.in
basket ball, are urged to be pres
ent. 1t seems likely at-the present
writing that a preliminary game. will
be staged the same night between
the Grand Rapids city team and the
Nekoosa city team. No extra ad-
mission Will be charged.

for a thorough search Of that part

The search was without results
