GIRL TAKES POISON
DOCTOR SAVES HER
Friends frustrated an attempt at sui
cide on the part of a young woman
about 9 o’clock last night in Travis
park. They found her just after sho
is said to have taken an antiseptic tab
let. They hurried her to the office of
a doctor who by the energetic action of
a stomach pump relieved her of the
poison and cheated the ferryman over
the River Styx out of a job.
The girl is said to have been des
pondent, but the police lack details
as to whether it was about a recalci
trant lover or whether she was just
tired of life.
Not Much.

CALLS OUT FIREMEN
A false alarm of fire, turned in at
10 o’clock last night to hose company
No. 1, makes a total of four alarms of
this sort received during the past 10

all are the work of the same person

telephone. The informant talked
broken English and, from his conver

said in an excited tone that Benevo

fake was discovered.
Investigation was begun at once by
Chief Wright, who was informed by
the central operator that the call came
fronT the saloon of Carlos Munos at
123 South Laredo street. Inquiries
there developed that a number of peo
ple had used the telephone during the
evening and no notice had been taken
of them, making it impossible to iden
tify the faker.
