a few days later a barrel-roling con-

the most prominent citizens partici-

long whips used by the lumbermen in
northern Minnesota and Wisconsin on
their log sleighs.
At least 80 different kinds of crack

prizes were distributed to those who
produced the most of these sounds in
rapid succession. The judges laid con-
siderable emphasis in this odd con-
test on the kind of crackings which
would stir a horse most without injur-

The city people raise the money to
send them, and visit them in their

tors examine them to see that they are
free from disease, but that is all that
the city people can do, however good
their intentions may be. Won't the
country people take them to their

Frisby Staubs Tired Of Life.

Frisby T. Staubs, OF sharpsburg,
attempted suicide Monday about half
past one o'clock by hanging himself
in his stable. Fortunately he was dis
covered in time and cut down before
life was extinct. He placed a long
bench on end and leaned it against
rafter. To the upper end Of the bench
he attached rope and standing on
box he tied the other end around his
neck. When ready he kicked the
box away and dangled in space. While
so hanging, slowly strangling to death,
Mrs. Charles Swain, neighbor, burst
into the stable and found him. She
called for help and John Early, who
was working in garden, fastened to
the stable and cut Staubs down. He
was unconscious when taken down but
soon revived, as he was rescued from
his dangerous position before he had
been hanging more than a moment or
two. Staubs is a cripple and earns a
livelihood by hauling goods. On Fri
day he hauled load Of ice from Ha-
gerstown. During the evening some
one stole $18 from him, and this loss,
combined with other things, had a
very depressing effect on him. He
said that unless he found the money
by Saturday evening he would put
himself out Of the way. Monday
morning he went down town to the
hotel and to the crowd standing about
said that he had not found his money
and wanted them to see that he got a
decent burial. While not attributlng
much importance to his remarks neigh
bors watched him more or less, and
when Mrs. Swain saw him 60 into the
stable she became suspicious and fol-
lowed him with the result as told
above.
When he revived sufficiently to
speak after being cut down Staubs
asked why he had not been let alone,
as he wanted to die and would kill
himself. A close watch is being kept
on him to see that he does not attempt
to take his life again. Staubs is about
forty-six years old and resides on An
tietam street in Sharpsburg with his
wife and four children. His crippled
condition is great drawback to him,
as it curtails the ways in which he can
gain living, and all who know him
are sorry that he was driven to at
tempt so rash an act.
Staubs was IN HagerstoWn Iuesday'
and to a reporter there he expressed
regret that he had tried to kill himself,
and said he would do so no more. His
eighteen dollars was found under a
log where he had placed it for safe
keeping while he was INDUCING in a
spree.
