  Thursday evening of last week, Mrs. Sadie Wiley, an Altoona woman, 
committed suicide in a Johnstown resort by taking laudanum.  She had 
been an inmate of the resort for about two weeks.  It is said she had 
been badly treated by her husband for some time and driven at last by 
his cruelty to desperation, she entered the resort.  She had heard 
nothing from her husband since going to Johnstown, and it is the 
opinion of the other inmates of the house that she determined to do 
away with herself on this account.  The deceased was a daughter of S. 
B. and Susan Tipton, of Altoona, and was 29 years of age.
