TWO MORE VICTIMS IN
SAD AFFAIR

ST. Louis, Mo, April "a coroncrs
| jury returned verdict Of death by
homicide in the case OF Archie Gutge-
SELL "a years old. who was killed by
his sister, Miss Aimee Gutgesell, "a
years old, because she wanted to pre-
went him from becoming a drunkard.
Miss Gutgescll was held for the grand
jury
Miss Gutgesell was composed and
unconditional during the first part Of
the inquest when the police report
containing her confession Of the shoot
ing was read to the Jury BY the coro-
|ner's secretary. When the report was
finished, Deputy Coroner Furlong
asked Miss Gutgesell if the report was
correct. She attempted to answer,
then burst into sobs.
Her sobs became louder and more
prolonged until attendants led her out
of the coroner's room and returned
her to the city hospital, Where she
IS held prisoner in the observation
ward.
Police Sergeant Dalton testified that
Geveral members of her family had
shown traces Of insanity. An uncle
committed suicide eight years ago.
Another brother is in the city sam
tarium.
Miss Gutgesell said that the brother
was driven to insanity by drink and
she feared the second brother also
would become insane. She shot him
twice in the back in the rear of their
home. and then she said she tried to
kill herself, but the cartridge in the
revolver would not explode.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says every
body is using old-time recipe Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
when il fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack Of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful. and
thousands Of women and men who value
that even colcr, that beautiful dark
shade Of hair which is SO attractive, use
only this oldtime recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for a 80
cens bottle of Hlyyeth's Sage and Sui
