by the Mitchell Ne1cs that the drill at
Carpenter was down 173 feet the fore part
of last week, and still going deeper. The

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY HANGING
Elmer Tubbs, son Of D. J. Tubbs Of this
city, tried bis best to quit living one night
last week. He was hiding q ten days
sentence in the county Jail, and either
being a liberty bird and longing for free
dom, or else not enjoying his accommo.
dations any too well, he concluded to try
hanging for change. So, standing upon
the ash.pail, he carefully adjusted the
rope Qhat raises and lowers the windows
about his neck, kicked over the ash pail,
and swung off, Mr.. Elmer, the jsilor,
going in with the young mans supper,
found him in tho aforesaid rather un.
comfortable position, and It was with
difficulty that he could raise the almost
lifeless body and cut the rope in time to
save his life. Poor fellow! 10 years Of
age only, and life that should be pre-.
cious and bright with hope and promise,
so dark that the way Is already sunless
and he seeks death rather than life.
