ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Domestic Troubles Promps Jack Dunbar tc
End His Life.

Shortly after noon yesterday Jack Dun
bar made an attempt to end his life in
Williams gun store a few doors from the
EAGLE office, and came within ace of
succeeding. He entered the store as mod
estly as any other customer and asked Mr..
Williams for revolver big enough to kill
man. He said this in light merry way
which satisfied Mr. Williams that he was
joking. He was handed a SS-calibre and
he purposely doubted its size so that be
might get cartridge TO fit it that he
might kill himsilf His plan succeeded
and Mr.. Williams gave him the cartridge.
He very deliberately put the cartridge in
TO the cylinder, turned it around to its
proper place and with tragic wave Of the
hand he placed the muzzle OF the revolver
to his breast and fired the fatal shot. that
is, the shot that was fatal
to the transom window of Mr. Williams
store, for the bullet went through there
and shattered it. The moment the pistol
exploded Dunbar fell with a heavy thud
on the floor, evidently thinking he had
killed himself, but he had not for the bull
let only touched his waist-coat and made
an additional button hole in his coat
When he ascertained that he was not dead
and flying through the pearly gates, he be-
came awful hot under the collar and fran
tically jumped around the store looking
for some other more reliable weapon
to kill himself with. The noise of the re-
volver brought several passersby TO the
scene and two or three stout men grabbed
the would be suicide and, with difficulty,
held him till Officer Harmon came VINO
took him to the new city Jail. After being
locked up, he acted like an enraged tiger
in cage until he was almost exhausted
in strength
The cause Of Mr.. Dunbar's trouble
is domestic unhappiness. Last year some
trouble arose between himself and his
wife, and like so many other men, he left
the country rather than yield TO his wife
and patch up the difference as he would
have done if he were philosopher. His
wife had as much mettle rs he had and
she, too, failed to act the part of a philoso-
pher. The result was that their poor lit
tie children were sent to the Children's
home to be taken care Of Tuesday Jack
returned, and finding his children in the
home" tried to get them, but was re-
fused. He went there yesterday in the
forenoon again and was refused the chill
dren for u second time. The second refus-
al made him desperate, and it was in this
condition he was when he made an at
tempt to end his life

This week has been busy one at the
Garfield University Fires are kept up to
insure the thorough drying of the walls,
the buildings are undergoing general re-
pairs aud renovation, and all will be found
in perfectly comfortable and sanitary
condition ready for the opening of the
spring term next Monday the IS
While it is proposed to open only the
preparatory and normal departments for
this term, 1t should be born in mind that
the work will be il charge of some of the
most able and popular teachers of the
former faculty, and that it will be OF the
same grade and thoroughness, supple
mented by the same facilities for personal
work in library. laboratories ETC., and in
every respect be characterized by the same
care as in the full regular session of the
university.
Professor Griffin is now in the city, and
may be found every afternoon this week
at ISL 5. Market, where he will be glad TO

THE ADAMS CASE.

The giving of testimony in the case of
the United States VS.. ]. {. Adams was
commenced yesterday. 1t was a hard
matter to get IA jury as most of the panel
had some scruple or other concerning the
infiction of capital punishment. The
jury was finally secured and consists of
the following gentlemen: james Brown,
William Rathbun, John 6. Henney, W. +.
RedmaD, John Leibey, W. 3. Bishop, A.
T. Sweet. A 5. Roble, D. p Dodge. L. u.
Judson, Frank Berker and o. p T. Ewell.
The case is by far the most interesting
that has been or will be tried here during
the term, owing to the prominence OF Cap
tain Couch and all that has been said
about Adams when it was thought he
was going to be hung last summer. The
crowd in attendance is large aud consists
of ladies, merchants, attorneys, amateur
sUenographers, Oklahoma boomers and
cowboys. The two most interesting par
ties in the court are Mrs. Couch, widow of
the deceased, and Mrs. Adams, wife OF the
defendant 10 the case. Mrs. Couch sits back
OF Colonel johnson the attorney assisting
Mr.. Ady, and she watches the progress OF
the trial with studious interest and fire.
quently suggests something to the attor-
neys for the prosecution. Mrs. Adams IS
equally interested in the case. She sits
back OF her husband and listens to every
word that drops from the lips OF the
witnesses She has pencil and tablet
and she very often makes notes Of what is
said. IL is interesting to watch both
women one Of them seeking TO avenge the
death OF husband through the ordinary
process of the law, while the other is
watching with breathless interest every
move made, which like the turn of tide
may send her husband to the gallows or
result in restoring him to her after two
years of anxiety. Some fourteen or fifteen
witnesses have been examined but il Is
impossible to make a good guess yet what
the result of the trial will be. The prose-
cution claims that a conviction is sure
while the defense are equally confident of
III acquttal. In point OF ability there is
no difference between the attorneys on
both sides and as the jury is an intelligent
body of men the verdict. whatever it may
be, will he rendered according to the
merits of the testimony.
