Abont 6:30 o'clock Monday morning she artwe aad complained to her hus­ band of being ill. She went into the nest room, Mr. Bodenschatx thought to tak«^ some m^ieiiie. But isistead she tlr^nk a quantity of carhoJic acid from a bottle. He. husband summoned the neighbors iromeriiatly to help him, bat -she was practically dead when they ar- rived. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that she "came to her death by carbolic acid poisoning while tempo­ rarily, deranged whether accidentally or w"h suicidal intent the jury is nn able to determine from til# evidence presented." Residents of Woodstock and partion larly friends of Mrs. Bodenschatz are at a loss to account for the act. Thoy say thst she had no tumble other than her ill health and that they would be surprised if her melancholy was such that the sickness wonld can«e her to take her own life On the other hand, the fact that she took the deadly poison from a bottle and in a seeming quantity, coupled with her recent depression, would indicate that the act was in- tenional. ftEANMgS, HAPPENINGS IN M HENRY ' ADJACENT COUNTIES.

Mr. Frisby was awakened by the grating noise made by sawing iron. He located the noise at the window in the store below and, hurriedly dressing in a few depend ables, he quietly began an investiga­ tion. 4 ' For this wa» She second time the store had been visited and his fighting blood was up. Fortunately, when he reached the street he had the good luck to en­ counter Officers Hackett and Mulvaney. That was enough. No guilty man es­ capes when these officers are on the beat. There was a regular round up and three ̂ desperate ex-convicts were captured. No doubt these are the men who have committed other robberies along Ogden avenne in the past few months and Mr. Frisby and Officers Mnlvaney and Hackett deserve a great credit for their successful capture of the villains. They should be voted a gold medal. Mr. Frisby is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John,is.
