SAVED FROM DEATH.
4 Mormon Elders Uncanny Ctmpan'
ion Who Wanted 10 Die.
Wis PREVENTED PROM DOING SO.
Cnt Ills Throat With Pocket knife
and Mad, Desperate Fight
Left at Garden City, Kansas.

Elder John A. Wootton OF Midway,
Wssatch county, called at tho NEWS
editorial 70 oms this morning, having
returned last evening from mission
to the Southern States, where he has
been for little moro than two years
past.
Elder Wootton recountet rather
thrilling and uncnnny experience had
en- route home. While traversing
Kansas on Sunday evening last,
strange man emerged from
the smoker and walked up the aisle OF
the car in which Elder Wootton was
riding. After CHANGING wildly about
for some time he dropped into the
same seat us Elderl wootton and soon
began soiiioquy that attracted q
good deal Of attention frani the othsr
passengers in ths car. Turning TO
Elder wootton he muttered repeatedly
In broken Austrian that he was
''sorrow--very SORROW"
The Elder then tried to paoify him
by telliAg him that surely big,
stroDg healthy man like himself hau
nothing to be 30 sorry over. Then the
Austrian quieted down for q time and
Elder WUotton settled into his chair
aad fell asleep. During tue night he
heard gurgling sound and at the
same time observed that the stranger
was struggling violently and on look
ing closer saw that he Dad inflicted
deep wound in his throat anu wss
endesvoring to sever his windpipe
wbile blood was squirting 10 all al.
recllons.
Elder woot.on Immediately sprsng
upon him and, reinforced by the con.
ductor ana other passengers, succeeded
in getting the knife away from him.
The would.be suicide made a desperate
fight but WAS subdued anu the dow OF
blood partially stopped. When given
drink oil water gushed forth from the
cash In his wiDdpipe. From papers
found in his possession 1t was learned
that his name was John Diesel. The
cause Of his haliuc nation was not
known. At Garden City, Kansas, he
was turned over to the police authori.
ties and since then nothing has bsen
heard OF him. His condition at the
Time, however, was considered very
| critical.
Elder Wootton left for the Southern
States February 20, 1895. His labors
during the whole period OF his ab-
sence from home were conferred In the
Middle Tennessee conference where
splendid success has been browning the
edotis OF the Mormon missio naries.
Elder Wootton's own health was very
good until about a yenr ago, since
which time he has not been feeling as
well as might be desired. He Will
leave Salt Lake for home tomorrow
