Took Rough on Rats
Mrs. John Hodkin Suicided Last Night While in a Bad Manner
Mrs. John Hodkin, a young married woman about 25 years of age, formerly of Carthage, committed suicide at Webb City last night, and is to be buried here this afternoon. Mrs. Hodkin was formerly Mrs. Jim Mitchell, but did not get along with her husband and procured a divorce.

Yesterday they were in Carthage visiting the family of Albert Stagg, on West Oak Street, Mrs. Hodkin being an adopted sister of Stagg. Mr. and Mrs. Hodkin left for home about dusk last night, but when they reached there Mrs. Hodkin, who had a temper, became furious at something and for revenge took rough on rats. A doctor was summoned and worked with her all night, but could not save her life. Three minutes after she had swallowed the poison she was sorry for it and said so, but it was too late to repent. She gave explicit instructions in regard to how she wished to be buried and stated she wanted to be laid to rest in Carthage. Her requests were compiled with in every detail and the remains were brought here this afternoon for interment.

After Brother Takes Revolver From him, He Drinks Carbolic Acid to End His Life.
A. J. Hoerning, 47 years old, while in a condition of excitement bordering on delirium tremens, committed suicide yesterday morning by taking carbolic acid. He was at his home on Daugherty street, near Jefferson street, when he drank the acid.
The night before his brother, who runs a restaurant near the Frisco depot, caught him with a revolver and took it away from him, his condition then having been such as to render him practically irresponsible for his actions.
The brother was at Antoine Hoerning's home yesterday morning about 9 o'clock, talking with Mrs. Hoerning about her husband's condition, when he staggered into the room and told them he had taken poison. Shortly afterwards he became unconscious, and a physician who was called in found that relief was impossible. Hoerning died within a few minutes.
Hoerning had lived in Webb City a number of years, working as a mechanic in the mines. He leaves a wife and son 17 years old. Mrs. Hoerning was during the summer employed at the Lakeside bath house.
The funeral will be held on Sunday at 2 o'clock from the residence, and will be in charge of the W.O.W., of which he was a member. The interment will be at Mount Hope cemetery.
