Attempted Suicide.

! About two weeks since Miss
Nancy Jane Lytle, whe is in
the employ of James Knighton,
near Raysville, attempted sui
eide. Her first attempt was
BY cutting her throat, but Mrs.
Knighton, and another lady
caught her In the act and
wrested the knife from her,
not, however before she had
made three ugly gashes in her
throat. Breaking away from
them, she ran to a we'll near
by, and jumfel in with the in-
tention Vt drowning herself, in
which she failed on account of
the insufficient depth of water.
When rescued from the we'll
and asked her motives for so
foolish an act, she gave as one
reason some trouble with her
lover and said she had other
reasons which she refused to
reveal.
