MOTHER TAKES LIFE. —— Bloomington, Ind., Jan. 17.—(Special to Daily Democrat). —Eighteen year old Ethylene Engledow sat up in bed and saved her life by pleading with her mother not to pull the trigger of a revolver. The mother, Mrs. Stella Engeldow argued she could not bear to commit suicide and leave her girl behind. The muzzle of the gun was pressed against Ethylene’s breast. She would have been shot to death had she not been awake when the mother entered her ■room. Ethylne left the house and returning found Mrs. Engledow on the floor with a bullet through her heart. The insurance policies had been placed on a table and some hot water was on the stove for the undertaker for whom she expressed a preference in a note. WEDDING REPORT FALSE The statement in last evening's paper concerning the wedding at Hillsdale, Mich., January 2, of Miss Treva Ray and Milton Werling proved to be untrue. The statement concerning the marriage of this couple was written out and handed to this paper, during the noon hour yesterday by a young lady. It seems that the communication is the result of a practical joke. The manuscript as handed to the Democrat was turned over last evening to Mr. Werling, and an investigation is now being made to determine the author. We want to print the news, but we desire fads only. It is not our purpose to use the columns of the Democrat for practical jokers. At any rate this couple was not married, and we are sorry the announcement was made through the paper. DANCE K. of C. Hall Thursday Evening Beginners Class 7:30 General Assembly 8:30 Good Music.
