Los ANGELES, July 25.-Two brothers.
Louis and Philip Audiget. arrived In TINS
city this afternoon in charge OF Constable
Sieyert of Newhall and were taken to the
County Hospital. Louis had three bullets
in his head and Philip has one. The
wounds are the result of a remarkable at
tempt at double suicide. Philip is in no
danger, but Louis has small chance Of re-
covery.
The brothers were found on the ground
under tree in little canyon near New
hall on Thursday night Both were
wounded and apparently dying. To Con-
stable SieYert Louis made the following
statement: Brother Philip and 1 came
here few months ago and took
up quarter section of land, built brush
house and have lived there ever since,
trying to improve the place. Last Tuesday
evening a fire broke out in The brush near
our place and we thought we were going to
lose our little cottage, so we started an
other little fire in front Of our home and
made it burn toward the fire that was COM
ing to devour us, but our little fire got
away from Us and joined the big fire, and
before We knew what was up the whole
country was on fire and l saw at a glance
that our neighbors we're to be
burned out l knew right off that my
brother and l were in great danger,
for [ have been told by lawyers that
If man let's a grass OF brush fire get away
from him and burns up his neighbor's prop
erty he will be sent to State prison for
long term of years. As soon as this idea
came in my head L told my brother what
great danger we were in and asked him
what we must do to save our honor. We
finally concluded to die like men, so we
came TO this tree with our pistol and made
ourselves comfortable on the grass. Then
Philip took the pistol and placed the muZZle
In his right ear. | saw that II was all
right and then closed my eyes and
prayed for his soul until the
pistol exploded. When l opened
my eyes and looked at my brother he had
fallen on his back and blood was running
from his ear, so | thought he had made "a
good Job Of his suicide. He raised his right
hand and passed the pistol over to me. l
said 'good-by' and put the pistol to my
ear, just as my brother did. l pulled the
trigger and heard the report explode. but
felt no pain, SO l shot again. Once more
the bullet did not hurt lie, so l shot third
time, and thought l hid made good job of
it, ] don't remember much until you and
your friends came for me-"
Louis further said he and his brother
fired the shots Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock and no one came near them until
Thursday evening. They had nothing to
eat OF drink during the interval. Both men
are single ana apparently well educated,
and say they have served in the French
