ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Cut His Throat and Wrists.
HIS FATHERS SHARP RAZOR
USED WITH EFFECT.
A Bloody Sight Made by a Usually
Cool and Collected Young Man.

A most vicious attempt at suicide was
made this morning, at 9:45 o'clock. at the
boarding and lodging house of Kate Pat
terson, corner ooraje street and Main
avenue, by a young travelling salesman
for Columbus, Ohio, grocery firm, named
c. III. Johnson.
This individual. a handsome. well
dressed young fellow about 2s years
of age. has been in San Antonio
about five weeks, and during that time
has sold or canvaSsed for book entitled
Forbidden Fruit" He has been drink
ing pretty heavily around several ofthe
spent considerable money.
This morning about $3.50 o'clock, Miss
Della Patterson, who has charge of the
house. called in Detectives O'Meara
and Van Ripper, who were coming
down TO recorders court on street
car, and stated TO them that her
roomer was acting very queeriy, and
talked great deal about somebody who
was trying TO kill him, etc She asked
them to look out for him and see If any
thing was the matter with him. These
gentlemen had case in court and went
on, returning as soon as their evidence was
given.
Just as, they arrived at the house
they found johnson sitting in chair by
a window with his throat cut half way
around his neck and both wrists cut.
The weapon that aided him to do his
work was an old razor, which he said be-
longed to his father. He was squeezing
the blood out of his veins at the wrist
with his fingers in order to make the more
blood flow: The razor was lying
covered with blood. The young man
could talk and when DIR. j. p. Old
ham arrived TO attend him, which was
after good deal of delay, he asked him
what was the matter, he said his con-
science troubled him and he wanted to
die, and would try it again. After he felt
of blood and was removed to the city
hospital, he changed his mind and
wanted 10 live, and begged that the doc
tors save his life. He said he had over
heard people threatening TO kill him and
believed they were in his room.
The wound made by the razor in his
neck is high up under the jaw, and on the
laying the flesh open in CHASTITY
manner. Had the blade beeh sunk
in straight and little lower on
his throat, not only his jugular vein, but
his wind pipe would have been severed
and he would have had no need of a
physician. Only few minor veins were
severed. After cutting his throat he
enough, so he took his razor and cut the
arteries in his right wrist and cut the
flesh over the veins in his left wrist. He
bed very profusely and was quite weak
when the physician arrived.
johnson is very well educated. So
ciable and companionable young fellow,
and is quite an amateur phrenolOgist.

Speaking to the question, the alderman
said there were many citizens who wanted
a finer number put up, People could not
learn their numbers unless they bought
them at Garrison's paint shop. The num-
boring Of the city could not be done in
6 months and the purpose of the council
in having il done In order to retain the
postal free delivery system, would not be
encompassed.
Lockwood proposed to lay the ordi-
nance on the table, and this was done by
vote of the majority.
