eiaht Years Of Welded Life

Chicago, Jan, 9.---Mrs. Solon Knapp,
seventy mine; of Channahon, near
Joliet, died Friday; her husband,
eighty, died the next day on his birth
day and both were lowered into, the
same grave yesterday at Willard Grove

Channahon for more than fifty years
and had celebrated the golden ami
versary of their marriage eight years
ago.
Longevity is common at Channahon,
whose "oldest resident" Mrs. Mar
garet Nickle is more than 1Ol years
old. Mrs. Nickle, who boasts that she
never was attended by physician until
after she was more than 100, was born
in Germany in 1921. She came to
America when she was thirty five and
for more than half century has lived
in the same house at Channahon. Until

EATS PINS TO DIE
Surgeons Give Up Task Of CUTTING
Them Out

Pittsburgh, Jan. 0.-With her body
literally loaded with pins, Mrs Cath
crime Hirst, fifty four years old. a
patient in the City Home Hospital,
Mayview, died following frhtless
operation. The woman admitted to the
attending surgeons that she had swal-
lowed almost nine ounces of pins n
short time before she was committed
to the institution.
Mrs. Hirst would give no specific
reason for her act, but said she had
begun the strange method of ending her
life after being informed that as she
was i'll and needed medical attention
she would be taken TO the City Home
as a charity patient.
Efforts Of the doctors to eliminate
the pins from the woman's body with
out recourse to the knife were unsuc-
ccssful An operation eventually was
decided upon. The knife revealed that
the hundreds Of pins had punctured the
stomach and intestines. Some pins
were removed, but II was foyspd that TO
hunt down and remove alH OF them
would involve cutting the priens's
body into ehreds.

shot last night near Chatham Square.
He staggered across the square at
O'Clock and stumbled into the confec-
tionery OF Goldstein & Goldstein. He
took glass of water. drank it and
died In a short time For several hours,
detectives tried to find out where Maru
was attacked. No one would admit hav-
ing heard the shot that killed him.
Letters and cards in Maru's pockets
identified him. one letter. signed
"Strandgaard, l6 West Ninety-fourth
street" recommended Maru as IAN ex-
celent butler" but detectives said he
waa not half as good at household duties
as he was at handling a gun and knife.
Ishi said nothing of having been shot
when he entered the confectionery store.
To Emanuel Goldstein. owner of the
shop, he gave SIS and an opal stickpin,
telling him TO keep them safe for him.
Not until surgeon from Volunteer
Hospital had been called was it known
the man was shot. He died as the sur
geon started TO examine him. A bullet
of large calibre had penetrated his
stomach. An examination of the wound
showed the gun must have been pressed
against him when it was fired.
After the man had been identified
and his picture found in the Rogues'
Gallery, detectives were able to recall
his reputation. They said he made
living gambling and that he spent much
of his time snooping around spying out
small fan tan games. He posed as a
