Burt Fuller, an Elkhart barber, took whisky and fly paper in an effort to put an end to his life. Restoratives saved him. Fuller deserted his family six months ago, and returning sneaked into his wife's home, where he attempted to end his life. A little white poodle dog and its mistress, Miss Sylvia Corn, of Montpelier, held up traffic on the interurban line for a short time Monday. As the car came along the canine ran on the track just in front of it. Miss Corn shrieked at the motorman and covered her face with her hands to escape seeing the execution of her pet. Thinking that something terrible had happened the motorman stopped his car and climbed off, expecting to see the mangled form of a child on the track, but the only thing that met his gaze was a small white object darting out beneath the back end of the car. The train had passed directly over the dog and he escaped unhurt, greatly to the relief of the sobbing mistress, who was already mourning his demise.
