Another Servant Girl Throws Her
self From the Summit Avenue
Lookout.
A young woman was observed by
Robert Flynn, keeper of the Summit
Avenue lookout, about 80 o'clock yes
terday afternoon looking over from the
flooring of the unfinished building adj
Joining the lookout. near where young
Annie Hazurka recently jumped to her
death. The young woman walked rest
lessly up and down, edging a little
nearer to the brink looking down upon
Ramsey street. Remembering the Haz-
urka tragedy, Keeper Flynn called to
her and informed her that if she wished
to get good view of the city she should
go up into the tower. She said she
would like to, and accompanied the
keeper up into the tower, where they
remained perhaps five minutes. She
appeared perfectly rational and at her
ease. and remarked to MI. Flynn:
.'What splendid view of the city. l
didn't think st. Paul was so large"
After they mad exchanged few ordi-
naries the keeper asked her if she had
heard about the young lady who jumped
off the building where she had been
few moments before.
YES" she said, II read about it in
the papers,"
When they came down from the tower
Keeper Flynn escorted her to the door
and she went out. In another moment
looking out of the east window OF the
old building, he was surprised to see
her leap over the wicker fence in front
of the unfinished building, which is just
on level with the avenue i'll front, and
run towards the spot where he had In
dictated that Annie Hazurka had ended
her life. Before he could call to her
she was
CROUCHING DOWN ON THE EDGE
and had precipitated herself sideways,
over and down to the sidewalk thirty
feet below. Flynn raised an alarm at
once and Officer Gruber came to the
spot, hnding the young woman still
living but unconscious. The Rondo
street patrol was called and she was re-
moved to the city hospital. She evil
IDENTITY struck upon her face and fore
head, and the physicians believe her
skull is crushed. Her teeth were driven
through her upper lip and her features
are otherwise diSfgured. Her right leg
is broken at the knee and the right thigh
diSlocated. She has not yet recovered
consciousness and is not likely to sur
Vive her injuries.
At s o'clock last night A. T. Warner,
of No. 346 Fuller street, called at the
city hospital and identified the young
woman as
ANNIE OLESON, A SERVANT
girl who had been employed at his resi-
fence since May last. She left the
house about o'clock yesterday after
noon without saying where she was go
Ing. Most Of her relatives are still in
Sweden. Her character is good and
there is no reason assigned for her at
tempt at suicide, except that she must
be insane. She has of late appeared to
be somewhat Tightly, but never any
thing very pronounced. 1t is said she
has been expecting some money from
her brother in Sweden for some time,
but has not heard from him for two
months, and she once told friend, a
servant girl in a neighboring family,
that she was tired of living and was GO
Ing to kill herself sometime. She was
betterseducated than the majority of
servant girls and quite pretty. There
was nothing about her person to indi-
cate who she was. and it is believed she
made sure of this wishing not to dis
AlOSe her identity.
