An Inmate Of the Arose bud'' Jumps
From n Second Story WfnaOW-A
Tale Of Distress.
Last evening about dusk, Hattie Smith,
an inmate of the house of ill-iame, known
as the "Rose bud" on Main street, next to
the gas works, attempted to commit suicide,
by jumping from the second story of the
bsilding. She was somewhat intoxicated
at the time, and from all appearances is not
hurt much. Her story is peculiarly sad
one. Some time ago she was married to a
soldier of the 2Sd Infantry, she being an
Inmate of house of ill-fame at the time,
but after her marriage left the house
at which she was staying and lived
with her husband. Not long after the
marriage her husband forced her to return
TO her life Of shame in order to make mones
for him, and il is supposed that being tired
of the life she was leading, she sought TO end
her sorrows and trials by suicide. She is
somewhat different from the other women
of her class. being even when under the in
fuence of liquor, quiet and orderly, and not
a professional street-walker.

but from some cause or other, he was unfor-
tunaie here and went to Kansas City, where,
about two months ago, he was killed by
being run over by switch en-
gine. The general opinion at
the time of his death was that he had COM
mitted suicide, but later developments in
the case tended 10 show that it was posi-
bly, an accident He always represented
himself as a Russian nobleman, and the
Kansas City Times, of yesterday, says that
letters have been received by gentleman
