ATTEMPT SUICIDE.

Minnie Kelly Tires of Life and
Tries to Leave this Cold
World by the Strychnine Route.
----------
RESISTS MEDICAL AID.
----------
Tuesday just after the noon hour a messenger came from the Seeley home in search of a doctor, whose services were needed to save the life of Miss Minnie Kelly who had taken strychnine. Miss Kelly is an orphan child about 18 years old, and a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Seeley where she makes her home when in Mulhall. She is, to an observer, a well favored girl, possessing health, beauty and a voluptuous form, and apparently always happy. But how little one knows, from appearance, of the real condition and troubles locked in the heart of man.
Miss Kelly gave no reason for her rash act, other than that she wanted to die, and was tired of life.
The poison was taken in a cup of coffee at her noon meal, and after swallowing the coffee she told her aunt what she had done. Mrs. Seeley tried to have her take an antidote for the poison but she stubbornly refused and declared she took it to die and would not take the medicine. Mrs. Seeley could do nothing with her and sent for Dr. Childers who hastily drove out to the Seeley home. She refused to take medicine from the doctor and fought to keep from doing so but was held and an emetic forced down her throat.
The manner of taking the poison is perhaps the only reason for her recovery, for had the strychnine crystals been dissolved she would have died before medical assistance reached her bedside; and, too, had she taken the full amount intended she would have died, but a portion of the poison stuck to the side of the cup and what she swallowed was only sufficient to cause her severe contracting pains, and will keep her confined to the house for several days.
