apparently had killed herself with
acid. There was nothing to Indicate
her identity.
The naturalist notified Coroner

As William Pollock and his daugh-
ter, Mrs. William Cleveland johnson,
were driving home from the golden
wedding celebration of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. ". mckinley, Wednesday evening
about 9 o'clock, they pulled their
horse to side of the road to allow
a motor to pass and a wheel caught
over a guy wire attached to a tele-
phone pole and the vehicle turned
over throwing both of them out.
The accident occurred near the res
idence of VIM. Whitney on South JEFF
ferson st. Mr.. Pollock who is 81 years
old, was painfully shaken up and re-
ceived a number of bad bruises. Mrs.
Johnson escaped with only a bad
shaking up. That they were not both
seriously hurt was almost a miracle.
