TRIED TO KILL HERsELF.
Mrs. Annie q. PattersOn's Futile At.
tempt.

Salt Lake City, April 2s.-Mrs. Anna
e. Patterson, aged II years, who lives at
I49 E. Seventh South. tried to kill her
self Friday afternoon. For some time
past she has been respondent, partially
because of failing finances, but princi-
pally SO, it is said, because of the cratic
conduct of her son, Charles, who is
we'll known about town as mining
man, sometimes out of job, but always
with one in the perspective.
Friday afternoon Mrs. Patterson
walked into the house of John A. Blyth
with whom she and her son room, and
telling the people in the house that she
wanted to lie down and rest, went into
bedroom at the front of the house A mo.
ment later scream was heard issuing
from the room. The people In the
house hurried into the room and found
that the old lady had made an attempt on
her life with her sons razor. She had
cut her throat straight across, but not
deep enough to make fatal wound DR..
Thorn, who was called in, said laot even
ing that Mrs. Patterson's injuries were
not of character to result in her death.
Were it not for her age, they would not
be grave enough to be considered serious.
She has had the reputation for some
time of being slightly deranged, and it
is said has several times threatened to
kill herself. Still her neighbors always
refused TO believe that she meant what
she said, and they even yesterday could
hardly realize that the old lady they had
known so well and so long had at.
tempted her own life.
Mrs Clara Egan, who lives at 70 East
Seventh South, is daughter of Mrs
Patterson. Mrs, Egan expressed much
regret that the story, which had been
carefully guarded, had leaked out. She
said that the report, current about town
that her brother had whipped her and
his mother and SO caused the latter te
attempt suicide, was entirely untrue
The neighbors also expressed the
strongest belief that this story wa,
!. false.
Mrs. Patterson has lived ia Salt Lake
almost all her life and is very vel
known Her daughter Mrs. Egan, i,
the widow of Edward Egan, vel
known mining man About ten year
ago son was killed in snowslide a
Park City. Since then Mrs. Patterson
has been SO Respondent at times tina
she has required watching. Recent,
she has been receiving Charitable as
sistance from her ward, and this ha
been cause of much regret to her, a
all her life before she has been in COOS
financial circumstances.
