YOUNG MATRON
TAKES own LIFE
WORK AND WORRY TOO MUCH
FOR MOTHER OF THREE
LITTLE ONES

The community was greatly
shocked Sunday when word was
spread that Mrs. A. w. Blank had
committed suicide at the Central
Rooming house by drinking car
bolic acid. Overwork and despon-
dency due to dull business is be-
lieved to have caused her to take
her life.
The family came to Wolf Point
from Scobey about two months ago
and opened up the White Cafe
About a month ago they moved the
restaurant into the H. B. Johnson
building next door to the Norby
Sweet Shop.
According to testimony given at
the coroner's inquest Sunday af-
ternoon, those most closely asso-
ciated with the Blanks knew of no
trouble between husband and wife.
Mr.. Blank said that frequently
when she became worried and dis
couraged because things were not
breaking just right, she would hint
at suicide and on various occasions
had said: "If it wasn't for the
babies, I would die right now"
He had always before been able
to talk her out of the mood.
But the physical strain caused by
the care of three babies under 3
years of age, and work in the res
taurant were too much for her, and
Sunday morning between ten and
eleven o'clock she purchased a
1uarter's worth of carbolic acid
at Huxsols and went back to the
rooming house and drank about
an ounce of it. Mr.. Budd, phar-
nacist at the drug store, who sold
her the poison, said that she ap-
reared calm when making the pur-
,hase and there was nothing to
Indicate that she contemplated

HITCHING ONTO CARS
DANGEROUS PRACTICE

A Herald reader called at the
Office this week and requested that
a warning be sounded against the
dangerous practice of children in
hitching their sleds behind cars
Mayor Appelgren and other city
officials join in urging the great
est caution on the part of parents
and drivers.
If driver is Intentionally Civ
ing children rides, he of course
realizes his responsibility But
often the driver of car or truck
does not know that sleds have
been attached. Or is unable to
keep them off.
Parents should make special eff
fort to control their children with
regard to this dangerous habit of
catching on Through skidding
under other cars, children falling
off, breaking of the rope, and in
many other ways impossible TO
foresee, serious accidents are
liable to happen and sooner or
later are sure to happen. Whose
child or children will be the vic
tins?
In this issue will be found the
story of a fatal accident of this
kind which happened at Plenty
wood. 1t presents the strongest
argument possible for the most
rigid discipline by parents and
teachers, the greatest care and
caution by drivers and caution
and obedience by the children
themselves.
