OF living; wish l was dead" gloomily re-
marked George Gage to his fellow workmen
In the Hitchcock manufacturing works
about midnight last night. 'I'd commit
suicide If had the means here.n
Gage married some months ago woman
who bad been married twice before. Their
married life was not happy. Gage thought
his wife was untrue and she, complaining
tnae he was lazy, turned him adrIft last
month. Then he became melancholy and took
to drink.
he was unusually depressed last night
but when he said he would commit suicide
II he had the means at hand his associates
did not think he meant 1t. William How
ard, the engineer, rallied him by retort
ing:
THAT needn't worry you. I'll get you a
rope"
-, well, get it them" replied Gage. land
Howard went for a rope while the work
men gathered about Gage and ohaffed him.
telling him he hadn't nerve enough to hang.
Presently Howard returned with a rope.
and handing it to George, said
NOW get TO WORK and we'll give you
hand"
Gage made running moose, and, putting
it around his neck, tossed the free end over
a beam. 1t was caught by the workmen
and with pull they soon had Gage sus-
pended In the air. He struggled and,
seizing the cord, held on to it with death
grip.
When the men tried to lower him the
rope caught on the beam, which prevented
1t from slipping, and as they approached
Gage to take him down he kicked at them.
1t was some time before he could be lowered
and the moose could be unfastened. Then
he was unconscious.
The sherif's Office was notified by tele-
phone. and deputy took Gage still insen-
slble. to jail, where a physician finally re-
stored him to consciousness.
Gage who is not yet out of danger. per-
sists in his determination to end his life.
The workmen say they hanged him as
joke, having no notion he meant to die.

SAW A PRISON sPooK.
1t Haunts a California Murderer II
the Jail at San Rafael.

1t Haunts a California Murderer In
the Jail at San Rafael.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in
during the last few days as TO the reason of
Henry, alias "Dutchy,p Baker pleading
guilty of murder. On the preliminary ex-
animation the preponderauce of evidence
was in his favor. and it is thought that no
jury would have found him guilty of mur-
der Manslaughter would have been about
the extent of the verdict had the case come
to trial.
A reporter interviewed Baker in his cell
in the county jail on the subject, and was
astounded to learn the real reason of his
plea Of guilty. Baker was found pacing the
corridor in front of his cell. He presented
haRgard and worn appearance. On being
asked his reason for pleading guilty, when
he would be likely to get much lighter
sentence by sanding trial, he said that he
would be willing to submit to most any
punishment in order to escape confineme t
in the Marion county Jail. He said that
the place is haunted.
Every night about IL o'clock | have
been awakened by noses of heavy weights
dropping on the concrete floors, the rafting
Of chains. the slamming Of the iron doors
and the steady tramp, tramp OF some in
visible spook. Ihls thing became unbear-
able to me. and had l not pleaded guilty
would have been i.sane before my trial was
over.n
Inquiry in the sheriR's Office was not un-
successful. A number Of prisoners confined
in the Jail during the past year have made
similar complaints. The first complaint
made was about one year ago. w. r. Argo
an ex-convict arrested for burglary, made
an attempt to escape by sa wing the iron
bars from his window. His attempted
escape was discovered, and that same even
ing he hanged himself in his cell. Prisoners
confined in the Jail at the time declared that
Argo made his appearance nightly there
after.
When Baker first complained to the sheriff
of the nightly visitant a deputy was in
structed to watch for any nocturnal in
truders. The first night Of his visit he
heard unmistakable sounds proceeding from
the tanks where Baker was confined. An
examination OF the cells revealed no cause
for the strange noises. The reputation the
Jail has gained on account of its spook is
we'll known among the tramp fraternity
and they give it a very wide berth. A
threat to put one OF them In the tanks will
almost throw any Of them into Mysteries.

that Leroy L. Key and myself talked the
matter over and decided to make an effort
TO remedy this evil We first decided to APP

Neither of us cared to approach him on the
subject, 80 we cast lots to see who should

An opportunity presented itself few days

THE Senate met at noon on the 26th In con-
tnuation of Thursdays session, the pending
question being a resolution to amend the

tnued his address in opposition and at l:2O
yielded for q motion by Mr.. Wolcott to pro-
ceed to the consid GRAFTON of the apporton-
ment bill A motion by Mr. Dolph to lay on
the table was lost by a vote of "a yeas
to IS nays. The motion was then adopted
by the same vote, Cameron, Jones (Nev.),
Wolcott Stewart, Teller and Washburn vot-
ing with the Democrats, thus laying aside the
resolution to amend the rules and also tho
elections bill, and the apportionment bill
was taken up and read. The Senate soon ad-
iourned. When the House met the journal
was approved, and pending motion to con-
| slider the naval appropriation bill the news
of the action of the Senate on the elections
bill was received and the naval bill was
quickly disposed of and the House ad-
journed.

ing action the Senate adjourned. In the
House a message was received from the
President vetoing the bill authorizing Okla
homa City to issue bonds for certain pur-
poses The House then considered the mill
tary academy appropriation bill until ad-
iournment.
WHEN the Senate met on the 28th Mr..
Stewart had a telegram read from Senator
Stanford in which the latter Senator declared
opposition to the cloture rule. The appor-
tionment bill was then taken up, the ques-
tlon under consideration being that of in
cfeasing the number of members of the
House from s66 to 800. No action was reached
before adjournment. The most of the day
In the House was taken up in considering
the military academy bill in Committee of
the Whole and little progress had been made
at adjournment.
THE Senate on the 29th passed bill Great
ing the Office of Third ASS stant Postmaster
General and took up the apportionmcnt BILL
the amendment to increase the number of
members of the House from 336 to 36J being
under consideration, which was defeated
and the bill finally passed as it came from
the House. On Mr.. Blair's motion the Senate
took up the bill to adjust the accounts of la
borers and 9th ers TO the eight hour law, but
it was displaced by a motion prevailing to
consider the army appropriation bill, which
occupied the Senate until adjournment.
The whole day in the House was devoted to
| considering the military academy bill in
Committee of the Whole.
