ATTKMPTKD SUICIDE One night last
week, ,a"colored lady, named Madaline
Wyley, a grass widow from Texas, who
has been here about two months, at
tempted suicide in the building on the
corner opposite the lunch stand. She
took about an ounce and half of
laudanum at about7 o'clock, and would
have succeeded in reaching some
haven or Eden of rest and oblivion but
for the persistent ard energetic treat
ment by manipulation, rolling and
pounding Of bystanders who were de-
termined not to lose her company aud
society at present. By these means
she was brought to" and declared out
Of danger by a. IN. She is now COX" ."
The cause Of her suicidal attempt was
misplaced love, for she loved a certain
we'll known married man of this town
whose name will be furnished for very
small consideration.

last Thursday S. S. Bluejacket's team,
which was in charge of Willie Tiger, a
boy probably thirteen years old, ran
away. Willie was thrown out and a
wheel passing over his right arm just
above the wrist, crushed the bone and
produced a compound fracture. Little
Pearl Bluejacket and Billy Browns
boy, both Of whom were riding with
Willie, escaped with but a scratch.
The vehicle was converted pretty near
ly into kindling wood. The horses are
quite gentle but in scufile to see who
should drive, they were started into a
run.

KILLED AT A FUNERAJ.-D. ID. Hall,
better known as Dunk" was killed on
Big creek, near Jim Martins last Fri
day afternoon while attending the
funeral Of Ed Sharpe little girl. His
slayer was Henry Kellney the former
husband Of Halls wife. The fruits Of
this first marriage we're two children
and each Of the parties had taken one.
Hall had been at work on a railroad
near Sedan, Kansas, and had just
reached home the day before. Keltney
II appears wanted the other child and
although Hall made little objection
the former drew his shot gun and fred,
the charge of buck shot entering the
body just below the belt TO the left Of
the center. So close we're the men to-
gether that Halls clothing was set on
ERE and in thrusting the gun to one
side portion of the hand and wrist
were shot away. Keltney then took
the children, came TO this place and
on Saturday left on the train for Fay
etteville, Arkansas. His relatives live
near that place. The shooting seems
to have been without provocation as
Hall WAS unarmed at the time. That
the neighbors who were present should
have allowed the man to depart, is
strange and leaves room to wonder If
there is not another version Of the
affair. A United States writ has been
aske for and the beliefs that Keltney
will undoubtedly be arrested. Sewell
Hall, son OF the dead man who is
almost grown, was here this week with
a younger brother and from them we
obtained the foregoing particulars.
Hall and Mrs. Keltney were married
about two months ago and ever since
that time the first husband has been
making threats against the man who
supplanted him in the affections Of the
woman.

morning early Cayetano Flores, Span
lard, was stabbed to death in bagnio
on Sacramento street. The murderer
escaped, and the affair is shrouded in
mystery, but tbs cause of the homicide
is said to have been jealousy.
Treina la Sanchez. the woman who
kept the bagnio, was arrested with two
other women. She stated that she had
been living with deceased for some time.
He was jealous because of her acquaint
ance with a man named Demetrlo who
arrived from Mexico eleven months ago.
She said: "This morning l was sitting
in my room with DemetrIo aud man
named Thomas when Flores entered.
The latter began abu sing Demetrio.
Flores was not satisfied with the others
explanation, but putting his hand in the
breast of his Goa remarked that if they
were equal in size he would kill him.
Demetrlo then went out Of the room,
followed by Flores, who still had his
hand in his breast pocket. AT the be-
ginning of the trouble Thomas left the
room. She professed ignorance of al.
that afterward happened. The police
Immediately began an investigation and
search for the murderer, but up to a
late hour this afternoon he had not been

To be shortly Changed TO stan
dard Gauge.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 26.-As.
surance is given that the ownership of
the South Pacific Coast Railroad by the
Southern Pacific Company will not result
in any increase of rates. nor Wilt dimin-
ish facilities for travelling. If any change
follows, travelling accommodations will
be increased. 1t is said that the narrow
g0uge line from Alameda to San Jose,
which traverses marsh along the shore
of the bay, will be eventually aban-
doned as road-bed, and that the foot.
hill parallel line tbroad gaugel. between
Oakland and San Jose via Niles, will
transact the business. To perfect the
system, the narrow gauge track from
San Jose through Los Gatos and over
the coast hills to Santa Cruz will be
broadened into uuiforms gauge. 1t was
the original design OF the builders to
render it possible to change the gauge
at as little expense as possible, and ties
were laid with that view, and the road
bed and bridges constructed with that
capacity. The work of changing, there
fore, simply consists of moving the line
of single rail.
