Kankakee, Ill., Oct. 11.— A suicide pact has resulted in the death of Miss Minnie Ifland, 20, and Lulu Cook, 14, daughters of farmers 20 miles south of this city. Clasped in each others arms, the two drank the contents of an ounce bottle of strychnine. Death came before medical aid could be summoned.
