HAYDEN NOTES

o'clock in a dying condition, the re-
suit of a self-administered dose of
arsenic. She died an hour later.
Mrs. Brown lived with her sister at
Winkelman, and nothing wrong was
noticed when she retired quite late
in the evening, Friday. She was
called early Saturday morning, but did
not respond After a second sum-
mons, Mrs. Van Akin went to her sis
ter's room and found the door locked.
Hearing a groan, she realized some
thing was wrong. Help was called,
and the door broken in. Finding Mrs.
Brown unconscious, Mrs. Van Akin
sent for DR.. Ira Brown, who rushed
to the scene of the tragedy, but he
was too late to save her life.
A note to Mrs. Van Akin was found
on the table beside the glass in which
the poison had been mixed which
read, Forgive me, sister, 1 am I'M
happy.-Hallie."
A coroner's jury was impanelled and
their verdict was that Mrs. Brown
came to her death by arsenic poison
ing, self-administered.
Mrs. Brown had many friends in
Winkelman, where she had lived over
year. She was 81 years old.
Serious Accident at Power Plant
Frank Lumbly, fireman on the
Brown hoist, was injured at the power
plant, May 10. He was winding up
cable on a windlass, the ratchet gave
way and the lever struck him on the
head. Lumbly was rushed ON a
stretcher to the Hayden hospital and,
after reaching the hospital, it was
found that his skull was fractured,
was very critical
Wednesday morning, it was ascer-
tanned that he was doing nicely, but
it will be a month before he leaves
the hospital.
Too Much Ambition
Rawley Fay, son of general mill
foreman Frank L. Fay, is very i'll as
the result of too much ambition.
Rawley hiked twenty miles with
several other Y M. G. A. boys to Cook
lake, from Hayden, Saturday. On his
return he played volley ball at the
'Y" for three hours, and Saturday
night went to the band concert and
dance at the Nocyar club. Rawley's
ambition became conferred on getting
his share Of the light lunch which was
served and managed to get it.
Rawley is now laid up with la grippe
brought on through the above activi-
ties. Sunday and Monday he was the
sickest boy in Hayden. Rawley will
probably be laid up for the rest of the
week.
Moral: Pep is like youth. It will
not stay with us. To waste it is to
suffer
Saturday night, the Nocyar club
held the first open-air band concert
and dance of the season on the tennis

joyed themselves immensely. Re-

punch and smokes were served. Many
dances will occur on the tennis court
