BOTH WIVES SUICIDES. NOLF'S FIRST AND SECOND EACH USED A ROPE.

Mrs. Catharine Nolf, wife of Amandus Nolf of Nazareth, committed suicide Sunday night by 'hanging. Nolf's first wife hanged herself five years ago. Then he employed Catharine as housekeeper, and afterward they were married .

They could not agree, and it is said she attacked her husband once with a hatchet. Some time ago Nolf left his wife, and last week began suit for n divorce.

As he passed the house where Mrs. Nolf was staying Sunday, she called to him to come in and make up. Nolf answered: "I'll not come in; you had me with you as long as you ever will."

When Mrs. Nolf's daughter returned from church and' opened the front door her mother hung in front of her, suspended from a rope attached to the banister.
