Attempted To End Her Life

Mrs. Adam Stoll drinks carbolic acid

QUARREL WITH NEIGHBOR

Poison did not reach her stomach--she will soon recover.

As the result of a neighborhood quarrel, Mrs. Adam Stoll, of 825 Packard street, attempted to take her life Wednesday morning by drinking carbolic acid.

For some time, it is said, the relations between Mrs. Stoll and Mrs. Ed. Burdick have not been of the pleasantest nature and yesterday morning, it is alleged, during a quarrel between the two women, Mrs. Stoll became very much enraged over some remark which Mrs. Burdick had made. She went into another room, it is said, and drank a part of a bottle of carbolic acid. After taking a good mouthful of the fiery liquid she evidently decided that she did not care to leave this world by the suicide route and spat out the poison.

A woman who was in the room upstairs heard Mrs. Stoll's screams and rushed down to her assistance.

Drs. George and Cowie were called and they soon pronounced the woman to be out of danger. Her mouth and throat are badly burned, but as she did not swallow any of the poison, she will soon recover.

It is the opinion of the neighbors that Mrs. Stoll has had the idea of committing suicide for some time and in all probability her experience of yesterday will prove an effectual cure for any such inclination.

Mr. Stoll is absent from home, working in the country, and is unaware of the happening of yesterday.
