MRS. DOLLIE HARKER 
 
  Mrs. Dollie Harker, of Hollidaysburg, a bride of two weeks, committed 
suicide Saturday by taking an overdose of laudanum.  She went to the 
home of her sister, Mrs. Hawley Baker, in Hollidaysburg, Friday 
evening.  While there she told Mrs. Barker she intended to take some 
laudanum, which would make her good and sick, to frighten her husband.   
She went into an alley near her sister's home and drank the contents of 
an ounce vial of laudanum.  Unconsciousness overtook her almost 
immediately, from which she never rallied.  No cause is assigned for 
her rash act.
