when she again broached the matter and
Mrs. Chrlsman auln staved the matter
off by telling the young womar that le
knw of a neighbor friend who had a
booh containing forma of wills and that
ahe wnruld g"t It for her later. This ap
peared to satisfy the young woman and ahe
dropped the matter. Tuesday night ahe
retired to bed apparently somewhat " Im
proved In health and spirits
Yesterday morning after breakfast Miss
Frailer, who assisted In washing the
dishes, to enquiries from Mrs. Chrlsman,
stated she felt much better and hoped to be
able to go bark to work in a day Or so.
Mrs. Chrlsman. who had Borne business
down town, left the house about o'clock,
after requesting the young woman to watch
that the children did not play around the
well, Shortly after Mrs. Chrlsman left
the house Miss Frailer placed an old door
over the opening to tha well, went back
to the house, drank the contenta of a two
ounce bottle of carbolic acid which she
found In the pantry, and then staggered
from the house towards the next lot where
she sank unconscious In a shed. In this
condition ahe waa found by the 7-year-old
aon of Mr. and Mrs. Chrlsman, who at
once railed In several of the neighbors.
Miss Frailer was carried home and Cor
oner Treynof and Dr. Tubba notified. They
both reached the place In a short while
but the young woman was past relief and
died shortly after their arrival.
Recently Miss Frailer had repeatedly as
sorted that If anything happened to her
ahe desired to leave such few personal be
longings aa she possessed to Mrs. Chrls
man. When the neighbors carried her
unconscious form Into the house they dis
covered In the bosom of her dress a letter
addressed to her cousin, Mlsa Rose Mann
at Rulo, Neb. The letter which had ap
parently been started after the young
woman had drank the acid, was badly
scrawled and almost Illegible and broke off
suddenly without being signed. It seemed
that the young woman attempted to aay
"I thought I would write you a few line
to let you know you won't fee me and I
don't want any of my people to get
any(thlng). I want Alta" Here the writ
ing ended. Alta (a the Christian i "Tie of

Two masked men entered the saloon of
O. K. Harden, Twenty-first and Broadway,
shortly after 11 o'clock last night and
robbed tha proprietor and three customers
who were In the place at the time.
Harden and hla customers were playing
cards In the rear part of the saloon when
the two robbers entered, wearing white
handkerchiefs over their facea and com
manded the occupnnts of the place to sur
render. They compelled the four men to
stand against the wall with their handa In
the air while tTie two went through their
poeketa, relieving the men of 17 In money.
One of the robbers then went to the cash
register behind the bar and robbed It of
ITS. then turned his attention to a cash
drawed, and helped hlmsel? to $40.
When the man behind the bar had started
to open the cash drawer, the proprietor
made a dash for a door which leads to his
living rooma above the place, but found
that his wife had bolted the door on the
Other side. When the robber saw what
had happened he fired a ahot from hla re
volver, the ball striking The wood on the
transom above the door and glanced, strik
ing Harden In the elbow, Inflicting a alight
flesh wound.
The two. robbers then made a dash for
the front door, and Harden went behind
the bar and secured a revolver which the
highwaymen had overlooked for the reason
that It waa covered by a napkin, and fol
lowed the men half way across the street
firing at them. A brother of the proprietor
wno acts aa bartender, waa In the living
rooms up stairs at the time the robbers
entered the place and upon hearing tha
ahota he got a double-barreled shoteun

upstalra window, Evidently none of the
ahots took effect. The men made their
escape.
A detailed description of tha robbers was
given the police of both Omaha and Council
