Jean Cassayre's Attempt
at Suicide
FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE
THE CAUSES THAT LED TO THE
CRIME
He Lies Out in the Broiling Sun for
Two Days Without Food or
Water

Jean Cassayre, Frenchman, is the
name of the man who made so determ-
ined an effort to quit this world on
Sunday morning. Last evening, weak
from loss of blood, fainting from hunger
and thirst and sick from exposure to the
full heat of the sun, with his clothes
making one huge bloody clot that hung
around his shrunken limbs, he was
found in the hills near Sycamore Grove,
not half mile from the place where
he tried to kill himself.
All of yesterday there were men out
in the hills searching for the unknown
man who tried such bloody way of do
ing away with himself. Foot by foot the
ground was gone over but beyond the
dried blood on the ground and the con-
gealed drops upon the bushes, no trace
of the man could be found. His corpse
for there was no doubt in the minds of
the searchers that he was dead-had ap-
parently completely disappeared.

A Coroner'S Reprimand

Coroner Campbell held an inquest yes
terday morning at Kregelo & Bresee's
undertaking roms over the body of Rose
Ashmead, who died on Sunday night.
At the inquest it developed that Mrs
Ashmead was, at the time of her death,
living with a Mrs. Case, who resides on
Boyle Heights, at the corner of Michigan
and Cummings streets. The evidence
showed that Mrs Cases house was in a
decidedly unsanitary condition and she
was sharply reprimanded by the jury for
her offense. The verdict was that death
was due to epilepsy. The deceased was
43 years old at the time of her death.

A COLORED SCRAPPER
Creates a Large Disturbance at the
Orpheum Last NIGHT

Deputy Constabes Tom Quinn and
Roper added turn to the Orpheum
program last night that was not on the
original bill, but was none the less very
interesting to the gallery gods. dis
turbance in the front row attracted
their attention, and they went down to
quell it. A big negro named Ed. Smith,
making some invidious remarks upon
Quinns general derivation and partcu-
larly upon his maternal ancestry, the
deputy became wroth and enjoined
silence upon the vagrant son of Ham.
The negro responded with a blow that
opened a crevasse in Quinn's wishbone,
and then Roper took hand, and "all
went merry as marriage bell" Smiths S
friends Joined in the melee, and Quinn
declares that he was struck by no less
than 241 people at the same time. Roper
managed to get the handouts on Smith
and dragged him up the steep stairs of
the gallery and thence to the sidewalk,
while Quinn, like Horatius, held the
alley. Smith was booked for disturbing
the peace.

over the East Los Angeles hills. At last,
becoming distracted, he determined to
end his life, and was saving at his throat
with his jack-knife when he saw Breed
love approaching. He implored the lat
ter to shoot him, but when Breedlove at
tempted to take the knife from him he
fought back. When Breedlove went for
the police Cassayre staggered away up
the gulch, finally falling where he was
found by Haigler. All through the heat
or the day he lay there, not over two
hundred yards from the place where the
searching party was led by the dogs No
food nor water passed his lips his raging
thirst being partially assuaged by chew
ing a few green leaves. His one thought
was that when the officers found him
they would arrest him. He was too weak
to care however, when Haigler dscov-
cred him lying at the foot of the tree.
Cassayre has been in this country since
1886. In 1891 he came to Los Angeles,
where he has been cook in various res
taurants. At present he is on a fair way
to recovery, after an experience that
would have killed most men.

Tied for the NIGHT

Two laboring men on the ranch OF Col.
Dobbins, at San Gabriel, had hard time
of it Sunday night. They were sleeping
in a cabin on the farm when they were
aroused by two men entering the Sleep

men, bound them to the bedstead and
then gagged them. The robbers then
went through the place, cleaning it of
everything and anything they could lay
their hands on, and departed, leaving the
men tied up. The visit was made COM
paratively early, so the inmates of the
cabin spent cheerful, if somewhat silent
night, endeavoring to lessen the chatting

UNDER FALLING WALLS
A Laborer Crushed to Death by Mass
of Bricks

A negro named William Jones met
with fatal accident yesterday morning
about o'clock. He, with a gang of men,
was engaged in demolishing an old
building at the northeast corner of Main
and Arcadia streets, Jones working at
the foundation of the wall A rope had
been tied around the wall to guide it
inward in its fall, the wall being about
twelve feet high and eight feet wide.
Jones loosened the bricks at the base,
the wall began to totter and the men
called to him to come away. He started,
made a couple of steps, hesitated a mo-
ment and then mass Of bricks crashed
down upon him, burying him from view.
A gang Of men rushed forward and
worked desperately, finally digging him
from the ruins. He was unconscious,
and Officer Sawyer who had arrived
upon the scene, telephoned for the patrol
wagon. Before the arrival of the vehicle.
however, Jones died and the remains
were sent to the undertaking rooms of
Kregelo & Bresee. The coroner will hold
an inquest over the body this morning.
Jones was a colored man, GA years Of
age, and had been in Los Angeles about
two years. He came from Indian Terri
tory, where his family now is.

A KLONDYKE LETTER
Some Remarks About the Cost of
Transporting Baggage

George H. Brown, who formerly was a
barkeeper in the employ of Joseph Ar
mold, went to the Klondyke region about
two months ago. He has written a let
ter to his old employer, telling some
thing of his trip from here to Dyea, the
spot from which he writes. His remarks
about the cost of transportation for
baggage are worth noting The letter,
which is dated August 2, on board the
steamer Islander, at Dyea, is as follows:
DYEA, Alaska, Aug. g 1897
STEAMER ISLANDER,
Dear Sir: We arrived at the end Of our
ocean voyage this morning, after one of
the most pleasant trips imaginable;
hereafter however, it won't be so pleas
ant, as we take into the interior tomor-
row. You cannot imagine the excite
ment and the rush existing here at pres
ent; it is simply awful. There are hun
dreds of tons of supplies lying here, and
people unable to get them moved. They
are paying 20 cents per pound, $40 per
hundred, for packing across the pass.
Our supplies, guns, clothing and all will
weigh two tons. We may hire some
packing done.
We are not losing any time on the way,
as we must get in before winter sets in.
We encountered several icebergs on the
trip up, and around here the mountains
are crowned with snow; still, in the val
ley it is quite warm.
The people along the entire route have
gone clean crazy. Never saw anything
like it in my life. However, some of
them get discouraged and return on the
next ship. We are all well and in fine
spirits and expect to make a success OF
the trip. Will write you more fully form
the Klondyke a the first opportunity.
Yours very truly, G.. Fl. BROWN.

BURBANK THEATER-

BURBANK THEATER-"The lorna
do'' is good strong name for good
strong play, and so far as scenic effects
are concerned Mr.. Lincoln j. Carters
melodrama is undoubtedly one of
thrilling kind. Not content with show
ing the devastating effects of the tor
nado upon the peaceful farm homestead,
one finds that dangers at sea are also
brought in, and the audience is treated
TO a realistic marine collision in which
the scenic artist and the machinist to-
gether have contrived some very clever
effects. The play is supported by the
full strength of the Burbank company
and is well acted throughout. Miss Nina
Gleason, Hattie Foley and Oracle Plais-
ted are all there. Frederick Tjader,
Charles Thornton, Norval McGregor and
other we'll known names in the cast ap-
pear. To attempt to follow the intrica-
ciev, of the action would be difficult and
the piece is best to be enjoyed without
prior familiarity with its intimate de-
tails.
AS a new feature of his performance,
Manager Pearson began last night the
experiment of introducing a pair of
singers, namely, Sonora Maria de Cas-
sang a number of good operatic selec-
tions between the acts of 1.-THE lorna
do" The idea of giving this musical re-
lief is undoubtedly good one, but one
can have too much even of a good thing,
and a musical interlude between each
act is more than is needed, besides
which it prolongs the performance un-
reasonably. OF the merits of the singers
1t is to be said that the Sonora de Cas-
tillo sings remarkably well and indeed
far better than one would have right to
expect at an entr' acte in this theater.
The lady is we'll worth hearing. Mr.. Cas-
tillo is not quite so successful, although
he evidently sings with good intention
yet he lacks force, among other things.
The selections rendered were all of high
class and good music, and it was prin-
cipally the length of these interpretations
that threw the program somewhat out
of proportion.
This defect will no doubt be at once
remedied, and the bill, in that event, is
highly interesting and well presented
aggregation of talent and effectivestage
work.

MISSED THE BLANKET.
School Boy Sports Prove Disastrous for
De Kalb Wellman.


De KaIb Wellman.
Last evening, company of the pre-
paratory school cadets were blanket
tossing, when an accident occurred that
resulted most seriously for one of their
Aumber. The initiate, DeKalb Well.
man, a lad about II years old, had been
tossed in the air two or three times, and
in coming down the fourth time, missed
the blanket and fell on the ground. He
struck on the back OF his neck, sustain
ing severe conclusion of the cervical
cord. The back of his head and neck
were badly bruised but that injury is
merely secondary. He was at once re-
moved to the Johnston house across the
street from the preparatory school and
Dr.. Allen was summoned to attend to
his injuries.
Before Wellman was tossed, number
of others had been blanketed and one of
the boys not participating. characterized
their play as most careless. While such
a practice as blanket tossing is hazardous
under any circumstances, some measures
of precaution can be taken 10 guard
against accident. 1t was said that the
boys last night failed to use ordinary
care. The names of those participating
are not obtainable at this time. Well
Al
brother of Fred Wellman, a clerk at
Tom Danford's.
DR.. Allen stated last night few mo-
ments after the accident occurred, that
the injury was serious, but just how seri-
Gus it was difficult to determine at that
time. The boy was removed this morn
ing from Johnston's to his home on lower
Pine street.

An Endorsement for G. Fl. Thorne.

An Enforcement for G. Il. Thorne.
In response to letter of enquiry from
the Loveland Reporter, Colonel B. l..
Carr returned the following hearty en-.
dorsement of George H. Thorne. Demo.
cratic and Silver Republican candidate
for district attorney:
"Mr. Thorne entered my Office in
Longmont as a student in the year 1891.
After remaining there something over
two years he was admitted to the bar and
he remained there continuously until he
came to Denver to accept position IN
the office of the attorney general.
During all the time that he was there
he was actively engaged in professional
work and during my first year in the at.
torney generals office he had full charge
of the business in Longmont, of course
under my direction, and attended to all
the cases in Boulder and Larimer coun.
ties in the district and county courts and
to few cases in Weld county. The
business in Longmont was an extensive
and varied one and l never had occasion
to cr,ticise any work that he did for me
during that time.
During the past year and one half he
has been engaged IN the work OF Prepar'
ing briefs in the criminal cases in the
supreme court, and looking up authorl'
ties for me in such matters as were re-
ferred to him., His work being at all
times satisfactory.
"In my judgment no man has ever beer
nominated for the office of district attor
ney in the eighth judicial district who
was better equipped to discharge tbs
duties OF that office.
Il may add that he is in no way related
to me.
"You are at liberty to use this informa
ton wherever you see fit.
"Very truly yours.
