TUESDAY AT SALTWATER,
Jay Bevier, the WouId-Be Suicide,
Getting Better.
THE GIRL PARTLY TO BLAME
She Made Him a Mark for Guying by
Exhibiting One Of His
Letters.

Jay Bevier, who attempted to suffo-
cate himself with gas in the opera house
building on account of unrequited love,
recovered nearly normal physical con-
ditiOn after remaining at the city hos
pital yesterday, though his mental
health seems to be in no way changed.
He admits determination to end his
life, expresses regret that his attempt of
Monday failed, and intimateS that he
may yet effect his self destruction.
Bevler is member of Minnesota Lodge
No. 1, l. o. o. F., and the noble grand,
George Munkel, with Others of his
brethren, visited the young man last
evening with view to cheering him up
bit and keeping cautionary watch
upon his movements until such time as
it is hoped his present state of mind
Will yield to more reasonable impulses.
1t is said that the young lady in the case
is not entirely blameleSs in the matter.
A few days ago Bevier wrote her an af-
fectionate letter, such as he believed
their long period of close acquaintance
ship would warrant, and the girl eXhib.
tied the miSSive all around among the
male inmates of the house where the
young man boarded, and he became a
mark for guying. 1t was this act of
what he considered pure heartlessness
in the girl that finally overlooked his
cup of despair.
The notable contest at whist to be
waged between the six challenging
players of the North hill and an equal
