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.

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.
