Lena Rosenberg maintained the char.
acters OF Harry Woodruff and Alice
stuart with becoming dignity. Both
oyinced n fine appreciation of the char.
acters and were invariably compli,
mented. The humorous characters OF

BY THE ROPE,
A Unknown Youth Suicides on Merkley
Enthusiastically Tender-foot.


Ranch-Evidently Tender-foot.
Coroner Clark received intelligence yes
terday that man had been found dead
hanging by his neck on Merkley's ranch,
on the Riverside road, few miles below
the city. He Immediately went with
assistants to the ranch, and found the Ian
hanging as stated, from a rafter of de-
serted Chinese cabin. He had secured
number of boards, built a platform,
fastened a piece of doubled clothesline,
one end with slip moose around his neck
and the other to rafter OF the roof, and
then swung himself into eternity. A
thorough search of the premises failed to
reveal anything that would give clue to
his identity He was of medium hight
and build and scarcely more than eighteen
years of age. In his coat pocket was found
a memorandum book, with a few notes
that are given below, but there was moth
ing by which to identify him, as many
pages that had been written upon were
torn out and could not be found.
His first entry shows that his act was pre-
meditated and that he had made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to obtain poison to end his
lite in an easy way The druggists of Sac
ramento don't allow man to die an easy
death"
His next entry, as we'll as a railroad
ticket that was found in the book, showed
that he had left Los Angeles, destined for
San Francisco, December 2S, 1887. 1t was
q l am an Eastern man who came to grief
by emigrating."
Entry No 3 showed that dependency
and despair were his only thoughts
" No health, friends or money! | think
had better quit
His last writing showed that his thoughts
had changed from this world to another.
1t read:
. will emigrate to a place where tickets
are not issued for returning. So long"
The Coroner will hold an inquest to-
night. Meanwhile the remains await
Identification at the Morgue.

Crazy Man Leaps from Train and
Afterwards Cuts His Throat,

a CreZy man Leaps from a Train and
Afterwards Cuts His Throat.
Yesterday afternoon man was brought
to the police station in wagon by John
Coleman. He had horrible cash in his
throat, and Immediately the City Physician
was summoned. After looking at the I'M
fortunate man and seeing the terrible cash,
DR.. Parkinson sent for DR.. Ellery Briggs to
assist him in the surgical operation which
was necessary to save the mans life
Meanwhile the latter was given paper and
pencil and succeeded in writing his name
and residence, Daniel McMahon. Phila-
delphia.' The following facts were then
| ascertained: He was coming TO California
from Philadelphia on the emigrant train
II acted very strange to the other passen-
gers, and was looked upon as being insane
Just after the train passed Antelope be was
seen to go out on the platform and de-
liberately jump from the running train.
Passengers reported it at the depot, but the
real facts were not ascertained until he was
brought here.
S. Z. Denton, farmer, happened to be
travelling along the track near Antelope
Station, when he saw a man hanging on
the fence near the railroad. He walked up
to him and was Mortified to see the blood
gushing from wounds in bis wrist and
throat. As fast as he could go. Mr. Denton
went to the nearest farmers house, John
Coleman, and having procured a wagon,
they placed the wounded man therein,
and conveyed him to this city.
Mcmahon was placed on cot in the Re-
ceiving Hospital, and upon being searched
$26, q ring and knife covered with blood
were found upon his person. 1t was evil
dent then that The man had attempted
suicide. In the front part of his throat,
just under the chin, was a terrible cash
about two and one-half inches long The
trachea and pharynx were severed, and his
left wrist was deeply cut in three places.
The doctors work for about two hours
sewing up the wrist and the throat A
rubber tube was inserted down his throat,
and after twenty or more stitches had been
made he was placed in wagon and re-
moved to the County Hospital, and at last
accounts he was in the same condition,
The doctors say that but for the fact that
the man was crazy he could never have
undergone the operation. As it was he
hardly WINGED during the whole time. 1t
is doubtful il the injured man will recover.
He has brother living at 1905 Dickinson
