ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Harry Shirk who is quite well known
about town. having been the driver of
Wiley & Greely's Orange Grove avenue
bus for some time attempted to commit
suicide today, cutting his throat with a
pocketknife. Shrk had been drinking for
several days, and it is presumed that the
liquor had finally got him into that condi-
| ton that he was tired of living. He quit
his work for Wiley & Greely the last of
June, since which time he has been drunk
a good part of the time, trying to drown
his sorrows, caused it is said, by the ac-
tion of certain young lady to whom he
was engaged About 10 o'clock this morn
| ing he went into the blacksmith shop of
William Veale on Union street. and going
| into a rear room, threw himself down on
cot. He was left undisturbed until about
| noon, when Gus Veale stepped itno the
room and was Mortified to find Shirk bleed
| ing from two gaping wounds in his throat.
DR.. Swearingen was summoned at once
, and he was removed to a room in the st.
| Nicholas hotel, across the street, where
his wounds were dressed. The cuts were
| found to be about two inches long and
| half inch wide. 1t is thought that unless
fever sets in he will be around again in a
few days. He has lost considerable blood,
but none of the main arteries have been
severed.
