I SOUTH BEND WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE Was In Plattsmouth Yesterday Al texnoou aad Seemed to be De mented. Mrs. Maude Finton of South Bond committed auicido late yesterday at Ashland by drinking about an ounce of carbolic acid which caused her death in less than an hour. Mrs. Fmton, wife of Kd ward Finton, section fore man for the Rock Island railroad at iJouth Bend, her home Tuesday morn ing, coming to this city to make a complainH'.againsl Jicr husband for being drunk and abusing her. Finton was down here during the trial of John Liah, the man accused of selling liquor without a license, and when he ' was ast free, they both celebrated by getting intoxicated and creating a big disturbance.' Mrs, Finton was a very nice ap pearing woman, about 28 years of age. She was committed to the insane as ylum June 20, 1902 where she was held for a few years, when her condition seemed to improve sufficiently for her being released. She was always sul jeet to epileptic fits and for some time hus been acting strangely again. When she appeared at the court house yesterday she had in her po session a big bottle of whiskey that hc had taken from her husband but, on account of the proper officials not being in the building, she was unable to file the complaint against Mr. Finton. This seemed to annoy her greatly, and she told several people around the building that she was tired of this life and she was going to take something when she got home. She started for her homo on the Schuyler passenger with a ticket for South Bend, but for some reason she stayed on the train and paid her fare into Ashland going over from the de pot Mrs. Finton had engaged accom modations at Totteu's hotel and then she went to town. She went into II. II. Cone's drug store and tried to purchase carbolic acid and was re fused, but got an ounce bottle of the acid at another store. She had started back towards the depot and just got over tho Salt creek bridge on Silver street when she sat down on the em bankment and drank the acid, dying in about thirty minutes. Dr. von Mansfeld was summoned, but she was past aid when he arrived. The empty bottle was found near by. Mrs. Finton was aged about 28 years and had resided in South Bend over ten years. One sister, Miss Stirl SteJlcrs, resides hero and her parents reside in Wichita, Kas. The remains were removed to Harford & Walter mire's undertaking rooms and Coroner Biggerstaf of Wahoo was notified, but he decided an inquest unnecessary. BI9 Muddy Subsiding. It wart stated by the Burlington of ficials today about noon, that the Missouri at this point was one-tenth of an inch lower at a late hour this morning than it was yesterday. The river farther up stream has lowered three or four inches during the morn ing and it is thought the water will drop steadily from now on. In the vicinity of Omaha the water is the highest it has been since the flood of 1HMI and a great amount of damage has In-en done along the river boottoms. The river has broken into Carter lake, cit of Omaha and the resi dents around there are traveling a la Venice. A patrol has been established by some of the factories on the banks to keep t.il 011 the conditions, but a raise of over ten inches is necessary to ciid'ingcr tin; buildings. The Council Bluffs Bowing Asso ciation's dull building is under water mid it looks as tliuujfa the dam holding Lake Mattawa were going to give away under the enormous strain of water. A Military Play. In response to numerous requests from the many admirers of the Wil liam Grrew Stock eompaey to pro duce a military play, the management 1 selec ted a play of known quality their weekly appearance at the i -j. niele theft! er on next Friday March 25, 1910. "Way Out West," or the "Favorite Son," is the name of the play, atid the situations deal with life on the plains in the vicinity of Fort Gibson, Indian Territory in the year 1890. , The characters in this splendid piece arc all taken from life, and vhe author spent many weeks Along the border getting material for his story In tho dud role of Capt. Steve Grigsby, U.' S. A., and Sam Grigsby cowboy, Mr. Grew has splendid oi portunities to show what he can do with parts of this nature. Miss Petes will have the delightful part of Posy Parker, daughter of Chaplain Parker of tho post. All the popular members of the company w ill be in tho cast. Mm. Frank McElroy started this morning for the Gate City where she will yisit for several days with her daughter Miss Florence McElroy. X DIAMOND DUST XXXXXXXXXXXKXX The Lincoln recruits to the Antel opes look mightily like a swift bunch. In our estimation the question for the management to solve is going to be which ones to select. Never in our base ball experience have we seen a set of youngsters who show up as strong as do the new men who have reported to Dcspain & Stoner. However the management is not satisfied yet and in response to a telegram from Presi dent Murphy of the Chicago Cubs to come at once to Chicago President Despain left Monday night for a conference with that official. This means that Lincoln will have the pick of the men who are needing a little more seasoning before going into the big league. X Surely something is going to happen out in Denver. One of the papers out there actually devoted half a page to base ball dope last Monday. Has the bug really knocked out the pug. X Catcher Kling will get his next Fri day. What it will be, however is the question X B. It. Atkinson of Pilger has been signed tp play with Fremont in the Nebraska state league. He is a fast all-around man and ought to make good. X Lew Walters, the popular second baseman and manager of the Pcublo team last year has been uncondition ally released by Jack Holland. X Bobby Catrroll, Pip Cook and Clark, former University base ball players will play with Grand Island this year. X From Wednesday's Daily. L. A.
