MT. HOPE WOMAN A SUICIDE.
Mrs. Fred Garthwaite Hung Herself
Saturday While Deranged.

A sad termination following months
of illness and suffering, occurred near
Mt. Hope, Saturday morning when
Mrs Jennie Garthwaite, formerly jan
ME McCluskey, and wife of Fred
Garthwaite, took her own life on the
farm home two miles east of Mt. Hope.
Mrs. Garthwaite had been suffer-
er from a nervous trouble and other
ailments for some time. Treatment
was given at an OconOmOwOc sanitar-
ium, later at Rochester, Mimi, and
about two weeks ago an operation was
performed at Prairie du Chen hOspi-
tai, when a tumor was removed. Fol
lowing this Mrs. Garthwaite was
brought home and seemed to improve
so rapidly that the nurse was dis
charged a week ago. Saturday the
daughter, Miss Alta, went to town in
the morning leaving her mother, faith
er and brother, Harry, on the farm.
About 10 o'clock Mr.. Garthwaite COM
menced fence repairs while Harry was
at work in the field close by. Mrs.
Garthwaite went to the house, remark
ing that she had some work to do be-
fore Alta came home. When the young
lady returned just few minutes lat
er she missed her mother, and a
search disclosed the lifeless body in
the barn. Mrs Garthwaite had fash
toned a rope from four strands of
binder Irvine and climbed up the lad
der where she fastened one end to
the timber. She then leaped down
breaking her neck.
The funeral services were held yes
terday at o'clock at Mt Hope. The
Garthwaites are highly respected peo-
pie and the family have the deep SYM
pathy of all who know them, in their
sorrow

TREE FALLS ON HENRY MANKEL.
Accident Happened Two Weeks Ago
and Crippled Him Badly.

Henry Mankel of Flora neighbOr
hood, was in Lancaster on Thursday
last although feeling somewhat
"shaky" from severe accident which
befell him two weeks ago. Mr.. Man
KEEL was in the woods on his place
preparing to cut down a walnut tree
stump that was burdened with large
dead oak which fell two years ago and
lodged. The utmost precaution was
taken to avoid an accident, but in
some manner the dead oak, which
was Is inches through, fell on Mr..
Mankel crushing him to the ground
and hurting him severely. He was rem
dered unconscious for a minute or so
but upon coming to was able to get
up as the tree had released its weight.
He managed to get home where for
two weeks he suffered severely, being
able to scarcely swallow any water.
The injuries seemed to be external
in the chest region, and he is gradual
ly getting better.

NO INCREASE DELINQUENT TAX.
County TreasUrer's Publication Shows
Total Less Than Last Year.

The delinquent tax list as published
by the county treasurer shows no in
crease in the value of property offer

SHERIFFS MAY SUCCEED SELVES.
Voters to Decide on Matter at Next
November Election.

At the election in November voters
will have opportunity to change the
law in regard to the tenure of office
of sheriff. AT present the sheriff is
permitted to serve one term only
that is, he cannot succeed himself An
amendment of the law will be submit
ted to the voters. The one-term rule
probably dates back to the time when
the sheriff's Office was about the whole
thing in a county, and large sums of
money passed through the hands of
this officer. In this age the sheriff's
job is quite tame in comparison. The
sheriff is the only officer who can
not succeed himself The county
treasurer was formerly limited to two
terms, but this limit was removed by
the last legislature. -Richland Re-
