FROM THE HIGH BRIDGE.
James Thompson's Desperate
Leap to Death.

Leap to Death.
The adaptability of the high bridge
to suicidal purposes was demonstrated
yesterday forenoon when James Thomp-
son jumped from its dizzy heights to the
river below. Thompson's desperate
leap was made at 10 O'clock, and was
witnessed by several quarrymen at
work on the west bank of the river.
Charles Larson and couple of other
workmen secured skitf, roWed out TO
the spot where Thompson had struck
and dragged the body to sand bar.
The man was not vet dead, but all
efforts to reSuScitate him were i'll vain.
He died within few minutes after he
was landed on the sand bar. Deputy
Coroner Darling, who was called.
ordered the remains taken to the Wash
ingtOn street mOrgue.
MI. Thompson was canvaSSer in the
employ of the Wheeler & Wilson Sew
ing Machine company. 81 West Third
street. He was born in Liverpool, Eng
land, lived for many years in Scotland
and came to this country about five
years ago. He had no relatives in this
country and roOmed alone at 3SS EX-
change street. The reason he had for
taking his own life seems to be a matter
for conjecture. Some of his acquaint-
ances express the idea that he had
domestic troubles in Scotland which
preyed heavily upon his mind. Man.
ager Flannery, of the Wheeler & Will
son office, says that Thompson was a
strictly moral, temperate and inoffenSive
man, but very reticent about his private
affairs.

Crack a Safe.
Another daring attempt at robbery
was discovered yesterday m orning,
when Dnrocher & Vessels dry goods
store, corner Cedar and Seventh streets,
was opened for business. The door of
the big safe, which occupies an alcove
in the back of the store, was found in a
mutilated condition. The sheet of iron
on the outside had been torn off and
part of the cement had been picked out.
But evidently the robbers found the
task of reaching the interior of the safe
so difficult that they gave it up in dis
gust. None OF the goods in the store
were touched, and so the burglars got
nothing for their trouble. They en-
tered the store through back door
opening onto Cedar street.
