The Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Wednesday Evening, June 1, 1887 ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A BATAVIAN. Yesterday's Tonawanda News contained the following: "Miss Olive BLIGHTON of Batavia, a young woman who came here to work as a domestic servant for John P. LYLE of North Canal street a few days since, became suddenly insane this morning and attempted to throw herself in the canal. She was caught by Mr.. LYLE and will be sent to the Asylum. Her friends live in Batavia." For the past two years Miss Olive BLIGHTON, apparently about 45 or 50 years of age, has resided with her mother, who is nearly 90 years of age, in on e of Dr. HUTCHINS' houses on HUTCHINS place. Miss BLIGHTON has supported herself and her mother by working by the day with different families and selling a salve which she made and different novelties which she peddled from house to house. She was a prominent member of the Free Methodist church. About a week ago she informed Dr. HUTCHINS that she was going with her mother to Tonawanda to visit her brother, who, she said, resides in that place. * JAMES WILLIAMS INSANE. The many friends of James WILLIAMS, a well-known farmer who lives on the Lewiston road, in this town, will learn with sorrow that he has become insane. For a long time it has been noticed that his mind was affected and that his condition seemed to grow worse slowly, and within the past two weeks his decline has been rapid. He is not violent, but it is feared he will become so, and his friends are to have him taken to the Asylum at Buffalo. He is despondent and melancholy all the time, and has frequently said he would take his life. Drs. MORSE and PARMELE have declared him insane and Judge PECK has approved the certificate. Mr. WILLIAMS was married less than three months ago, and his wife, aged mother and other relatives will have the deepest sympathy of all in their misfortune. * YOUNG KING DISCHARGED. Thomas KING, one of the boys arrested on a charge of burglarizing Peter CAMPBELL's house a week ago Sunday, was discharged by Justice LENT yesterday afternoon, as there was no evidence against him, except that he was in company with two other men supposed to have been implicated in the burglary. KING told a straight story, and RYAN, who is held to await the action of the Grand Jury on the same charge, said he had never before seen KING till he was brought to jail. Justice LENT believed KING is innocent of the charge and allowed him to go. * SIXTY THOUSAND PINE APPLES. At the Preserving factory on Friday a carload of pine apples, 15,000 in number, arrived and 10,000 of them were put up by Saturday night, about 100 persons being employed. Saturday night another carload arrived, and two more carloads are coming. This makes 60,000 pines in all, double the quantity put up last year. Owing to the death of W.D. CROSBY, W. E. FLYNN becomes sole manager of the Batavia factory. Theodore B. CROSBY has been engaged as book-keeper. * ACCOUNTS AGAINST UPTON POST. All persons having accounts against Upton POST, G.A.R., are requested to present them to the undersigned before Friday evening next at 7 o'clock. T.LYNCH, Commander. * WAR AMONG INDIANS CERTAIN. Gory Contests Expected in the Northwest--The Choctaws Belligerent. Winnipeg, Mon., June 1.--All efforts to settle the trouble between the Canadian Blood Indians and the American Gros Ventres have proved futile, and bitter war between the two tribes is certain. Small fights occur daily and horse stealing between the two tribes continues. American Indians stole a number of horses from settlers the other day and a committee of settlers went in pursuit. Word has just been received that the Indians attacked the whites and fatally wounded Hector McLEISH, a prominent land owner. Little Rock, Ark., June 1.--The situation in the Choctaw Nation is becoming serious. Half breeds are leaving the nation in large numbers and crossing into Arkansas for safety. Many Indians are under arms. Warnings have been given to many families ordering their instant departure from the Choctaw country. A battle between the full bloods and the half breeds is imminent. * PLUCKY MARY CHILDERS. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 1.--Miss Mary CHILDERS, a pretty school teacher of Trenton, Ga., heard some time ago that John MOGORS had been circulating slanderous reports about her. She rode across Lookout Mountain, fifteen miles, and at the muzzle of a shot-gun forced her traducer to apologize. Then she published MOGORS as an infamous scoundrel, and a bad man generally, and MOGORS sent her a challenge to fight. The little woman went to the spot to meet him, but MOGORS didn't show up, and at last accounts Miss CHILDERS was hunting for him with a horse whip. * MATCH-HEAD TEA WAS FATAL. Reading, Pa., June 1.--Pearson KLINE and his wife committed suicide yesterday by drinking water in which had been steeped a box of match heads. KLINE had been out of work for some time, and poverty made him and his wife despondent. * submitted by L.C. Schmidt
