CURED.
Jones had only slept there one night
and was comparatively unknown. He
went to his room about midnight and re-
tired promptly. and probably went 20
sleep. Mr.. w. c. Smith, foreman OF the
steamboat appliances at the Jefferson. oc-
cupied the room Immediately under
Jones's. lie had Just retired and was
lying in bed looking out OF the window.
He says he distinctly heard Jones step
out OF bed and walk to the window.
HEAD FOREMOST.
He then heard scratching. which
caused him to intensity his gaze. and in
a moment thereafter he saw the body OF
q man plunging head foremost downward.
A crash followed Immediately, as the
body collided with tin roof underneath
the window, and then thud, as IL struck
the ground
Mr.. Smith rushed 20 his window, and
seeing the body lying PROSTATE on the
ground hallooed "police.' Waterman
Smithers responded TO the call and enter
ed the yard. where he found Jones in a
semi-conscious condition cursIng roundly.
